The 3805 also has upconverting.. Which means rca and s video can be upconverted to component. Thats a nice feature. 3805 also has higher watt per channel rating, really cool door over buttons, nice remote too. All except the upconverting serves no real bonus. I hide all my 3805 in a closet and still paid the extra for the really cool door. So if your ever at my house and put your coat away please tell me what neat 3805 I have ; )
