In Reply to: Need a new receiver to replace my dying unit.... posted by Jose Garcia on April 28, 2004 at 13:34:24:
Or used AVR-3803 since the new 3805 is out. I have the 3803 and I like it a lot. Good luck.

Try Dak-mart and eCost for refurbs and B=stock. I bought a dcd-560 refurb 8 years ago and still going strong.Check the Denon site for other b-stock sellers. also try Reliable audio for refurb Marantz. I'm sure there are others. Its a good way to stretch a buck and still get performance.
Thanks for the information.Regarding to these two terms. Is this means that...
1- B Stock ... a unit that didn't make it through the quality control and it is sell at discount because of some issues?
2- Refurbished...a unit that have some quality problems and was taken for repairs and resale at a discount?Or is there any other meaning to these? How about guaranties?
B stock is generally considered to be a cosmetic flaw (often undetectable) or a customer return without an operating or build flaw. So its not a refurb.The ggod thing about refurbs is that a real human has checked it, repaired and done a QC on it before its sent out. But, usually on 90 day guarantees. Someplaces will sell an extended.
yes, the Denon AVR-3803 would be ideal to replace the AVR-3200 , which I think it was at the beginning of the 3xxx models.But my budget will not permit a unit above $500 at this moment , specially if it is just for movies.
Today I called a dealer in San Juan, PR and he offered the new Yamaha VXR-650 over the Denon AVR-1804 and Onkyo TX=SR 601. All are around $450-550. I will give them a visit and check all out.
Thanks again,
I bought this one recently to replace my AVR-2802 ... and I like it ! Full 7.1 amp with preouts for all ... DPLIIX ... and auto-level setup using microphone. Sound is very good. I use it as a preamp.
