Oh, one other thing I noticed...

AVR-4306 spec says this:

"Built in Faroudja FLI-2310 De-interlacer & Scaler (480p / 576p / 720p / 1080i)"

The 3806 doesn't list that, which may or may not mean anything. I read somewhere that we shouldn't trust that AV-land's specs are accurate. :-)

Is that a good thing, the Faroudja chip? Quite honestly, I still haven't figured out if I should have my Panasonic plasma be doing the scaling, or let the Denon handle it. I figured I'd know right away after experimenting a little... but I have to decide which one to buy first. hehe

And how about the difference between the two models with the "32-Bit SHARC Floating point-DSP 3rd Generation SHARC" chips? The MFLOPs are 20% different between the two models. Again... is that a tangible difference between the two models, or not really?

Thanks!
