"Perfect for a home theatre"
Pros: Does everything you want it to
Cons: Isnt a $5000 receiver
Summary: When it comes to getting a receiver you have a number of options to consider. The real question is what type of home theatre am I assembling, and how much am I willing to spend. If you are considering the 3806 then you already have decided that cost is a factor because you have bypassed the 4806 or other more expensive receivers. Now for $1000 dollars or less, you can get the JVC or the Sony but neither offers the quality that the 3806 does. The easy set up (cnet is wrong on this one) makes putting together your system incredibly easy. The 3806 can handle anything you through at it, from dvds to cds to video games.
Sure not having an upconverting feature through HDMI is a drag but how many of you are spending $1000 on a receiver and still have a video tape player? Really its not a feature you need, and dont miss.
I hve had my 3806 since October and has been a dream. I have a dvd and cable box in the hdmi's and an xbox 360, an ipod, turntable, and cd player hooked up and everything sounds crystal clear and works perfectly. This is the way to go.

I have gone thru all the setup procedures on Page 72 and Page 58 of the manual and still can not get my outdoor "Zone 2" speakers to work. Even when I select Zone 2 and try to use the volume on the remote, the volume only controls the Main Amp. Any suggestions?
