pulled the trigger on an AVR-3808CI

$1370 for the Yammie's not bad. Other than the deal I got NOBODY was going lower than $100 off of MSRP, IIRC. Of course that was a couple of months ago...

So do you program the receiver through that "Denon Link" I see on the back? Looks like an RJ45 jack.

nah through the ethernet jack, i just hooked it up to my router, fired up my laptop, typed in the receiver's IP into the address bar and voila! full control over the whole unit, including operation and setup (minus on/off functionality). it's really easy and faster than the GUI. plus you can save your setups onto your PC when you get everything done in case you lose your settings.

the denon-link is for other denon products, allows them to "talk" to each other i think.

Very nice purchase...and I look forward to some sound impressions.

Now that is awesome. Congratz on the receiver!
