So-so receiver for so-so price

"To all that's thinking of buying the 2808...please think about the 3808 or even 4308. Saving the few hundred was not worth all the missing features. Just looked too entry level but I guess the price reflects that. All in all, this is great for entry level home theater but if you want to wow your friends please pass on this one...."

"This model is far superior to my former high end Pioneer in sound delivery.

The hookup "pro" did not show me how to use the functions as he hooked them up. Rather he stood in front of me, and I had to pay another $100 to have them come out and rehookup things after I tried.
