You've got an excellent receiver there. I read a ton of reviews before I got my current Marantz dvd player. I found that many reviewers were pleased to the point of surprise at how well the Marantz equipment improved the sound of CDs and DVD audio; even the low end models. My suggestion would be to check out the accessories4less.com web site. Unless I'm mistaken, they sell a lot of "returned" or refurbished Marantz equipment, all with a 1 yr factory warrantee, and an available 3 yr warrantee for a little extra. Some of the items are as much as 50% or 60% off list price. Obviously, the newer stuff is less off, but still a bargain. I got my receiver from the dealer, but my DVD player from accessories4less.com. I love the Marantz sound. I can hardly wait to get some Axiom speakers to go with it all.....
