Pros: Great sound
Cons: Remote still has a bug or two

Pros: Great sound, ease of installation, ease of use

Pros: Incredibly powerful, all the connections you need, and no fluff
Cons: Probably a bit of overkill for most homes (mine included)
Summary: I truly am my own worst enemy.
I now have a Denon 3802 receiver occupying the same space that an already stellar 2802 once occupied, and the only reason I traded up was the nagging feeling that "good enough" wasn't "good enough." This unit ... read more

Cons: Not user friendly
Summary: After shopping around for quite a while looking for a surround system for under a grand, the Denon 3802 came out on top. Compared to other systems I looked at; Yamaha, Sony, Harmon Kardon I thought the Denon had the cleanest sound. On that account I've ... read more

Pros: Very powerful unit
Cons: Too complex to operate
Summary: I purchased one these units but had to wait a couple of days for the reciever to arrive at the store. This gave me the time to pull up the instruction manual from the denon website for study. I thought I would be prepared for the worst this way. Well ... read more

Pros: DTS-ES, powerful, lots of inputs, good remote... love it!
Cons: None
Summary: This receiver has all the good. All the way to DTS-ES, the sound decoder can handle almost anything, except DVD-Audio. The system, however, has wideband (up to 100kHz) audio inputs for 'future technologies'.
The sub out, 7+1 channels, ... read more

Pros: Clean lines, ample power, quality construction, multi-device learning remote
Cons: Remote could be smaller.
Summary: I read many of the reviews before buying this unit and the difficulty of setup was one (and possible the only) apprehension I had. So of course I shared this with the technician at the store, who with a chuckle very obligingly showed me just how simple, ... read more
