now see what gets me on the $399 from JR is reading the item description...near the end it says the Onkyo 604, and NO mention of DTS-MA and Dolby TrueHD??

"the TX-SR604 is a receiver designed to meet the needs of today and tomorrow."


but the item and part# say 605:

J&R Item # ONK TXSR605.
Mfr. Part # TX-SR605



So I would hope it is speaking about the 605. At the very least the guy in the warehouse would send out the Item and Part# 605, so I guess it would be good to go?
