Yamaha is quite nice for the price. All discrete.

There is no truth anymore. Only assertions. The internet world has no interest in truth, only vindication for preconceived assumptions. |

Second the Yammy.
The RXV559 is at that price point with upconversion, multi-source
full discrete, xm and ipod ready.

Personally Yamaha. The point here is there are good brands in the $400 price point. Sony just ain't oin of them

Yamaha is much better because of 1 major problem with Denon. If you use the Component In & Out's they are not turned on from the factory, you have to do it in the menu. I have had at least 3 customers figure out how to reset the receiver and access settings that I had setup and somehow turn off the component inputs.
If the receiver takes a surge and resets or needs to be reset, you will have no video.
Trust me, I have had that call from customers before. Use something more reliable.
The remote with a Denon is the biggest pile of crap to ever be built.

The denon stuff in this price range sounds like screaching birds. Marantz or Yamaha are a better option. That or an Ipod.
