Yes, that's what I was trying to convey with my awkward sentence!

Thats bigger than my room at 1700cf, but not huge. Its surprising how little power we use most of the time.

It wasn't awkward, I understood every word ... is that a bad thing?

That somewhat surprises me about the Denon, I was always under the impression that it can be a little tricky to setup. Shows you what I know.

It's only tricky once you try to decode the manual. The main thing I like is the GUI that overlays what is on screen. With the H/K I had to switch to an S-video connection as the menus wouldn't show through the component connection. It was kinda frustrating.

John,
I am in the US. I meant the SR876 instead of the SR806. I've always heard bad think about H/K, But that was also years ago. I was also thinking I wanted HD radio even though I think I will never use it. I also thought I would want to upconvert video to 1080p and have at least 3 HDMI 1080p inputs. These were really the things I was thinking of. I really have not though too much more about it than that.

Whoa, we didn't expect you back for another five or so years Zeb ... sorry if we hijacked your thread.



Sean, I have ours connected via video output from TV to H/K for the menu setup and just switch the TV connect via the Harmony remote for on screen menus.

I assume that is typical Since I have been a member here for 5 years and have 3 posts. hehe
I see onecall has the AVR-3808CI for $1200 US shipped
I'll probably finish this thread and then be back in another 5 years

I always kinda wanted a Harmony remote to simplify things. I haven't got totally fed up with the multiple remote thingy yet. Also, it probably helps that I'm single and don't have someone constantly reminding me what a pain in the a$$ it is to run the HT.

I bought my 3808 through Onecall for about that price. Had a few purchases through them and no problems yet.

AVS and 6AVE (mention that are an AVS forum member; if not a member, join!) have great prices on Denon.

Also, consider a URC remote before pulling the trigger on Harmony. Harmony is easy to program but may limit you from doing some what more advanced stuff. It's not like programming a URC remote is rocket science or anything though.
