    $500 Budget for HT-in-Box

    A freind of mine has asked me for some purchasing advice. She wants to get her grandparents into a HT setup for $500 (Receiver+Speakers). I know this is very little to work with, but any suggestions for a good value at that range would be appreciated. -Jim

    Problem with DPL II: High Freq's and Dialogue in Surrounds

    To the Forum: Lately I've noticed an anoying problem while watching TV in ProLogic II. I get these anoying "robot-like" sounds, that seem to corelate with the dialog, in my surrounds. Very muffled, very coarse. Has anyone noticed anything similar with DPL II or other new matrix sound modes...

    I called Denon just now. The customer service rep confirmed my suspicion: The dealer I spoke to was not an authorized dealer, therefore Denon won't honor the warranty. He said basically the dealer in question didn't buy directly from Denon, and that they probably bought it from another whole...

    Sales swindle: "We're selling this so cheap, Denon won't honor the warranty"?

    The subject header says it. I went to make an order for a new Denon AVR-3802 just now. The sales associate at the big store told me that because they were selling the unit at a price so far below the MSRP (~$800 on what he claimed MSRP was $1200), that Denon would refuse to honor the warranty...
