Thanks for the info guys! Hmm, I may have to look into the 3808CI--might as well save up and not settle for something else.

Alan, what good does HQV processing do? Is it mainly for taking, say an S-Video input, and converting to 1080p?

terzaghi, I'll definitely check out Jr.com--hopefully they still have good prices on the 3808. I've ordered from them before--I think that's where I got my HK 7200.

framer, I'm honored you called me Mark, but my name's Sean. Mark may be insulted, though! \:D Thanks for the heads up about the GUI. Yes, it does look like the new GUI is for the 3808 and up only.

Bill, yesterday I found a thread on AVS that tries to deal with the audio sync issues. I didn't get into the nuts and bolts of it.

Looks like the Denon is looking better and better. I will go back and reference Mdrew's thread on it.
