    denon 4802, 4802R - differences? remotes?

    i've been looking at all 3 of those receivers. the only reason i saw to get the 4802 over the 4802R was the remote as i would like to have an lcd remote that i can program the button names and put in macros such that it's as easy as possible for the wife. how much does a pronto cost with an lcd...

    denon 4802, 4802R - differences? remotes?

    can anyone tell me the differences between the Denon 4802 and the 4802R? also, apparently the 4802R is an updated version of the 4802, but it comes with a "crappier" remote. anyone know why? is it possible to get the 4802 remote with the 4802R?

    Denon AVR-4802(R) - can you program names?

    hi all. looking for a good home theater receiver. wondering if on this denon you can program the name of each (or most) of the inputs. by this i mean, can you program the name that is displayed on the front when you rotate the "input selector" dial. i would like to have the "DBS/Sat" component...

    av receivers - accept incorrect component names/types?

    so it sounds like it's a pretty common feature to be able to program what the receiver displays on the screen. but as far as buttons go, you're stuck with what's painted on the button on the receiver and the remote. now, if you have a receiver that has selector dial or advance left, right...

    av receivers - accept incorrect component names/types?

    do you mean by "soft" keys - a remote with a screen like the ones on the high-end denon receivers? also, what receiver brands do you know of that actually label inputs like "video1, video2, video3, etc"? i think onkyo's do, but do you know of any others?

    av receivers - accept incorrect component names/types?

    hi. i'm kind of new to home theater, but something seems pretty silly about av receivers to me. i've got a tivo, xbox, gamecube that i plan on hooking up to a new av receiver that i buy. obviously there are no named inputs for these on any receivers i've seen. in fact, i plan on buying one with...

    Denon AVR-4802 or Kenwood Sovereigh VR-5900???

    is this one a no-brainer? they're both about the same amount of $$$. it's a bit more than i want to spend, but the AV receiver is pretty critical to the system. both units features (as compared on crutchfield) seem VERY similar, so going to the superficial: Denon pros: 1) brand seems to be...
