I finally solved my Denon issue. I tried and tried to get it to play in DD 5.1 but it wouldn't. Might be me, the operator or it might be the unit. Don't know, so I bought a new Yamaha RX-V657 that will take care of me until I can afford separates-which I hope to get by mid 2006. I have always owned Yamaha receivers and have been totally satisfied with them but have always wanted to try a Denon because of their reputation. I did but I have never liked the sound as much as the Yamaha sound. Can't explain it other than at 58 I have Yamaha ears and not Denon ears. Guess this was just a way to get back to where I wanted to be anyway -:)
