...I dropped the remote on the corner of a table & cracked the screen. It was replaced for a $15.00 shipping charge and the new one had upgraded software. You may not like the remote - that's your choice. I've never had anyone spend more than 1-2 minutes playing with it before they understood how it worked. Seems really simple to me and at least 5 other people.

You select the device from the left hand menu. The device controls come up on the screen and you control the device. To control another device, you select it from the left hand menu. Device comes up, etc. On those devices (like the receiver) that have more controls than can be displayed on 1 page, you use either the joy stick or the arrows at the top of the menu page to access the next page.

This is difficult?? Wow! Like the recipe for ice cubes, maybe?

No, actually the 3802, for my use, would NOT have been a better buy as the the 3802 did not have THX processing and that WONDERFUL remote.

Also, I do use the amp section of the 4802 to drive 2 separate zones of outdoor speakers, which I can do independently with this receiver. So really, I'm quite happy with the choice. I'm also sure that with different speakers (not quite so current hungry), the receiver would have been just fine. I have a friend with the 3802 driving Klipsh and it works/sounds fine for his use.

So, let's get this straight - you don't own a 4802, hate the remote, but feel you need to comment on my uses of equipment & choice on how to spend MY money? Hmmmmm....my how arrogant of you.
