I've only had the 52XBR6 for a couple weeks but have already used the increased color space option during calibration with HD-DVE which isn't an option with the W series. You can read more about Sony's color space technology here: Sony Global - Technology - xvYCC Beyond that, the CCFL...

Adam listed the main differences. I suspect most people feel that the 3808 is good value for the money.

Thanks, David. I decided to upgrade to the BDP-S550 which enabled me to have a complete HDMI setup. The Denon now processes all of the formats which is what I wanted.

I have a Sony BDP-S1 which is not HDMI 1.3a. I currently have it connected to a Denon 3808 via HDMI and cannot get lossless audio without adding six cables for analog output. That's what I had to do with my old non-HDMI receiver but I bought the 3808 to have it do all the sound processing...

Orestes, I just connected it to a 52XBR6 via HDMI and 1080p is stunning, even without any calibration.

Cees, I was going to physically take it to my router. Adam, Thanks. I'll have to look into that.

I've never done a firmware update via ethernet so I have a question. My router/computer is nowhere near the home theatre. Can I plug the 3808 into my router and use my computer to walk through the GUI? Or can I just use the front panel to navigate? Or am I stuck and need an ethernet...

Thanks for confirming John!

I am now confused. I noticed on the Blu-Ray player that there is only one HDMI out port. I'm assuming that this goes to the TV but how would a receiver with HDMI ports get the audio signal without additional cables? (I thought the point of HDMI was an all-in-one solution.) I noticed on the...

I have Sony's first generation Blu-Ray player but haven't been able to take advantage of HDMI since neither my TV nor my receiver have HDMI inputs. I'm now thinking about buying a new TV which would have HDMI. I would connect the Blu-Ray player via HDMI to the TV for video but could I retain...

I'm in the market for a 3x1 component video switcher (although I'm not opposed to more inputs/outputs). I was thinking of going with Audio Authority's newest model - 4x1 HDTV Autoselect Switcher with IR Remote - Model 1154B. Does anyone know anything about this model or the quality of Audio...

I didn't like the movie enough to add this to my collection but I'm pleased to hear about the stellar audio/video. Thanks for the review.

Would a Blu-Ray player be able to play the SD-DVD version that's on a HD-DVD? I'm specifically thinking about: http://www.amazon.com/Digital-Video-.../dp/B000IHYY3Y Thanks.

Thanks for that. I'll keep my eyes open for it.

Thankfully, I don't think it's a hardware issue but a calibration issue. After running through Avia and VE, it became apparent that the brightness setting was the main culprit. Unfortunately, the pseudo-correct calibration level has made the set extremely dark. I found Underworld: Evolution to...
