You just have to remember which input you used and it's label on the back or you won't get the correct input when reassigning them. I have my HDP renamed to Wii

I would agree that assignable names are GREAT! My only beef though is that they print names on the back of the unit. My personal Favorites are the HDMI and the Optical ports labelled, "VCR".
What? A VCR with HDMI or Optical outs?!
Just number the stupid things. HDMI-1, HDMI-2, HDMI-3, HDMI-out, done.

Shhh... Don't tell my mom. I already got her to buy an HDMI plasma TV, because she needed something to fit on a small, corner table. But her VHS tapes look really bad on it, so I told her there's a VCR that'll make things look better.
She was asking about the "DVDs" I've been buying in the blue boxes. I told her they're better looking versions of the movies, but she couldn't play them with her current VHS/DVD combo player, but she did have a TV good enough to take advantage of the new discs.

I have my HDP renamed to Wii Yeah, I don't think any of mine are what Denon called them fron the factory. HDP is Blu-Ray, DVD is HD-DVD, SAT/CBL is Xbox 360 I think, etc. The fact you can delete the unused ones is cool too, so when you use the knob rather than the remote you don't have to scroll through 18 different inputs.

Good point about deleting unused inputs, a handy feature

Hah, isn't that the truth. I guess having six BD players wouldn't be overkill at all.

I found this little gem on AVS. It is a small program called command3808 that you can install on your PC so that you can control/change all of your settings for the 3808 (and 4308). The 3808 needs to be connected to a network or the PC. It's simple and makes the whole settings thing easier to deal with. I noticed that the last few posts on that thread deal with installing some additional SQL files if you are using Windows 7.
