I liked Denon for awhile but there has been some unsolved problems and with reliability so I'm trying to get some input on good reliable AVRs that work with MX850, 900, 950 ect... I have done a few Onkyo amps (TX-SR603, 703, 604) and liked them. I was having a bit of trouble finding good emitter placement on the TXSR603. Emitter seemed to work better turned 180 deg (sticky side off) of IR window. Like the single command for power on and input selection. Any one else have any suggestions for a $ 500-1200 AVR that has worked reliably with URC product line??

Thanks in advance, Brian
