In Reply to: Re: Best 5.1 A/V Receiver for under $500? posted by Some Guy on March 17, 2003 at 06:27:39:
The Denon model numbers you listed are unique to Sears, so you won't find them anywhere else. They are identical to Denon's regular A/V receiver line. I suggest you contact the seven mail order dealers listed on Denon's site. It is important to call them; while Denon can enforce Minimum Advertised Price on their products, they cannot dictate the actual selling price, so you may get a lower price by calling and asking for a better deal.While the Denon AVR-2803 is a fine choice, I would also consider the Pioneer Elite VSX-41TX, Harman Kardon AVR-325, Yamaha RXV-730, and I even saw the discontinued HK AVR-520 for $500:

The mass-market versions of the Denon receivers are available from a number of sources - certainly more than Sears.Pro integrators are a very good source as well as regional mass-market outlets. Sears is certainly a viable national source and is, to my knowledge, the ONLY national outlet for these products.
As the sources are quite varied, I'm not clear on the warranty qualifications on these units. My understanding has been that these mass-market products are warranted independently of the distribution source. That is, the product carries the warranty, not the source of purchase. A quick call to Denon should straighten this out for any interested parties.
