do you know the build date? The DVD3800 does many things right, but the first models out the gate have serious DVD-ROM drive problems. The player skips, locks-up and gets very hot to the touch. Discs come out rather, um... "toasty". Denon has some updates available (though you have to send them the unit and turnaround may take 6 - 8 weeks). The drive needs to be replaced and I believe one or two other things have to be updated.I believe the units dated December 2002 and on are OK, but you may want to do a "long" search in the "DVD Hardware" section on AVS Forum just to be sure. If it's a pre-December 2002 build date, you may have won someone else's headache.
