Although the YPAO feature sounds good, I could never buy Yamaha eqiuipment, it is just too damn ugly. Sorry Yamaha owners, Yamaha sounds great, but I just can not get past the asthetics.
I would, however, recommend getting the 3802. I have owned two Denon recievers in my day and currently have a 2802. Denon recievers sound excellent and feature excellent features. Just because they do not have YPAO does not make them insufficient. You will just need to spend a little more time with the set up process. They look really classy, too.
But, Pioneer Elite recievers feature the MCACC feature which is identical to YPAO and they are much better looking asthetically.
So maybe look for Pioneer Elite equipment as well.
Just my two cents.
