SG,The 3802/1082, 3803/1083 provide full 6.1/7.1 out of the box. The 3803 is a bit more video oriented with upconversion and adequate bandwidth for HD switching. Neither unit is a slouch when it comes to decode modes - they've got 'em all. BTW, $899 for an "authorized" 3803 is a total steal - this price is just about what you'd have to pay for a grey market unit.

"BTW, $899 for an "authorized" 3803 is a total steal"I should qualify why I got the $899 price on the 3803 from this retailer. I bought the TV and DVD-1600 and a bunch of cables and a stand all at the same time. He didn't have much room to budge on the Sony TV so he gave me a break on the Denon gear. Had I bought the Panasonic TV, he would have given me a big discount on it but less discount on the Denon. In any case I beleive $899 is a good deal on the Denon but the retailer made it up on the other gear I bought from him. They make their money one way or another. ;-)
