In Reply to: Denon AVR-4802 vs Rotel RSX-1065 posted by Peter K on January 9, 2003 at 12:39:24:
I own a 4802. I don't find the remote "horrible." In fact, my wife is quite happy with it as she can operate the entire system from a single remote - and has no trouble doing it. She is quite happy to not have to try and guess which remote operates which piece of equipment. The menu system on the remote is really quite straight forward and not hard to use. It is a learning remote and I have had no problems programming additional equipment and features into it.As far as the difference between the 4802 and 5803, the 5803 has a LOT more features that I determined I would never use - and 40 more Watts per channel when used in surround configuration.
The surround decoding section is very, very good and the system gives you a setup parameters to tweak to your heart's content. The only thing I don't like is the single transformer feeding all channels. I found with my N802's that at THX listening levels, the sound would lose some of the dynamics during sustained loud passages. It would never distort or sound harsh, the sound would just become a bit compressed. All I could figure was the transformer could not recharge the output caps totally during the "loud" period and the N802's want LOTS of current.
I solved the problem by using a VK6200 for the amp and just using the 4802 as a pre-amp. Totally satisfactory as the decoding section and pre-amp are very good, especially when using the "pure direct" mode for stereo only listening.
