The GUI is pretty neat. Much better than the crappy one on the HK Avr-7300 which I sold. No good POC!...hehe. It's actually set up pretty nice, and once you figure out how to naviate through it, it becomes much easier to use. I like it...but, ymmv.
I tell ya, I am glad that the Denon is Made in Japan...their workmanship is SO much better than the stuff made in China. No offense to anyone, but, that's just my take on it. I am sure there are some components in the 3808 from China, but the majority of it is Japan. I know the 'remote' is MIC...but, I think the rest of the receiver is all Japan. Of course, I would have to inspect all the chips, to see the truth.
