Been a productive day living life in surround, after receiving my new/used Denon AVR yesterday (to replace my failing 12 year old Onkyo) I bought it through a Amazon warehouse deal (saved $82 woohoo!) after the excitement wore off and I removed it from the box and stated the swap I realized something wasn't quite right and put my glasses on so I could read the model number and low and behold...wrong AVR , right box wrong AVR . Received Denon AVR-X1300W ($430) ordered Denon AVR-X3600S ($1002) immediately filed for a refund/return (couldn't replace it since it was a warehouse deal). Well since I had already pulled the Onkyo and was halfway through with the the speaker hookup I went ahead and finished setting up the 1300. I went ahead and ordered a new 3600 (no more warehouse deals) which is supposed to be here Sunday I wont get my refund til I send the 1300 back so I decided I will use this one to get familiar with Denon and will send it back when the new one is here and installed. So......
