Brian, I have owned both the 3802 and 45tx. They are fairly even with the Elite coming out a bit ahead. I like the Pioneer a little more for its better processing, better remote, official DD-ex, and acoustic cal. However, lately I have been experiencing shutdown particularly in two channel...

Difficult question, It seems like the new 3803 has eliminated all the reasons I took back my 3802 for the 45tx. It adds- a new processor official DD EX possibly a better power supply replacement of the sub par remote better bass management Now,it would be a toss up for me. I don't...

6 Ave is taking preorders for the 3803 on their website. It lists for 1199 and is shipping in 14 business days.

Anyone that is concerned about the 45tx shutting off at high levels need not worry. The first two weeks I had the receiver it TOO went into protection mode at high levels. A month later it works like a charm. All that it needed was break it time. It can handle tons of torture. However, my ears...

Thomas, I purchased mine in Salt Lake city. My email is [email protected]. i don't know how i would email you a copy of the receipt though. I don't have a scanner or digi cam. Try seeing different salesmen and see what they can do. I go to the same guy every time and he knows I will come...

Daniel, I think you are correct with this. I noticed the mcacc set all my speakers to large in the setup. I bet once I manually set them to small everything will be fine. Thanks for the input. Mike, I brought home BladeII last night and it sounded amazing. It is a rare DTS es disc with...

Mike, I do think your approach is the best thing to do. I suspect the auto cal is the reason for the sub not being used in stereo. That is when I noticed the sub was not functioning. Maybe the auto cal thinks it is best not to use the sub in my particular stereo setup. The JBL's do put out...

Mike, I experienced the same problem on getting the sub to work for stereo. I could not figure out the problem after checking all my settings, and they all seemed to be correct. I tried many things and finally just reset the receiver.Well once reset, the the sub played with authority and...

Arthur, as for the price is concerned, I only paid 120 dollars more than the 3802. I traded in the 3802 for the full 720 since I was still within my 30 day satisfaction guarantee. As for working the price down I simply told the salesman I needed a new dvd player and am thinking about upgrading...

I bought the DV-45A two days ago from ultimate electronics. Paid 450 for it and love it. It plays everything I could ever dream of. I can't comment on the picture since I have an old fischer 25" that won't do it justice. Everything is gold plated on the back panel which is nice.The remote is...

The 45tx is surely in the same price range as the 3802. I talked ultimate down to 830 on the price. Hard to beat that with the store being 5 minutes away and no shipping involved. I watched several other movies with the new Elite and am even more impressed with the separation and clarity of all...

Today I traded my beloved 3802 in at Ultimate Electronics for a brand new Pioneer vsx-45tx Elite. Once again Ultimate was great and sold it to me for $829. I also decided to go with the DV-45A Elite DVD player. First impressions are that it is very pleasing to the eye and quite heavy. It took...

Grady, From my experience with the 3802 the only time I have ever seen the surround back signal detect light up is on a dd-ex disc with a flag. I don't believe many discs have the flag. The only one I have used that the receiver recognized was Disney's Atlantis. Most discs with dd-ex don't...

Kevin A, You are right on about the people chosing the Denon because of a recommendation. But what it all comes down to is the the denon is a great receiver. This is why people recommend it. most here at the forum are enthusiasts who are pretty knowledgeable. I don't believe many of us would...

How could someone say the 3802 is overrated? In the sub $1,000 class, I can't think of any single receiver, without argument,that can beat the 3802 in performance and features. Nobody here is claiming that the 3802 will outperform separates or anything. It is just a solid receiver that you can't...

If anyone has an Ultimate Electronics in their area and are interested in the 3802, they sold me mine for an even 720. I had to talk them down quite a bit but I went home with a smile. The company has been really good to me in the past and I highly reccomend them. I got the best of both worlds...

Does anyone know if any wall brackets exist that are adjustable to fir a speaker that is 17.5 inches wide?

If the surround back LED does not light then is the receiver even decoding the DD-EX dignal, or is there any way to distinguish if the 3802 is receiving a dd-ex sinal?

I purchased my 3802 two weeks for 720 at ultimate electronics and really enjoy it. My only problem with it is dd-ex. I have heard it has the capability to put out dd-ex but without the name being used. I have set my receiver accordingly and am able to receive the surround back signal on all the...

Thanks for your input jimmy. The brackets that i am considering are made by uni-lok. They seem very sturdy and are able to hold speakers up to 100 lbs, which would be plenty for the relatively large S38's.

My current setup is a denon 3802 powering the S center II, s38II mains, studio series sub, and yamaha 8" surrounds. i liked the S38' a great deal and i have just purchased a pair as surrounds to replace the cheap yamaha's, I never really took into consideration the mounting of them. I would...
