Well, I'll be a monkey's.................

Now, if I can get some solid info about whether or not I should ignore the 2 year new warranty, and buy a 2309CI refurb, with a 90 day Denon warranty, I'll be able to make a decision.

they are very legitimate. Couple of members here just bought Panasonic plasmas from them...my dad also bought a Pioneer Plasma. Arrived in excellent condition.

They have been in business for many years.

Why are they so cheap compared to others? I am wanting to upgrade my receiver as well and I can't pass up this price!

I usually buy everything through amazon but amazon is $749. I'm rather surprised by that.

I just picked up one of these 2309 receivers last weekend and got everything hooked up, programed and sounding GREAT. I do have a question for anybody that can help.......
I am running everything hooked up with HDMI cables. I have a HD cable box, a Sony PS3, and even my old HDDVD all plugged in and working. However, my HD audio light has never lit up. I have played every kind of DVD I have... BRay, HDDVD, Standard, Dolby Digital, Dolby True, Uncompressed 5.1, etc. My display always either says Multi Line or Dolby Digital and all of my speaker indicators are lit. The sound is especially impressive on Batman Dark Knight (Dolby True) with my PS3 set to linear PCM. No complaints at all. I usually use STD surround mode for Big BOOM movies and use PURE mode for non-action movies. Just wondering what the HD audio light is for since it has never came on. Is it something just for CD's or digital music sources??
Thanks.

Also just noticed that the receiver pictured at the top of the thread displays Dolby True HD. I can't figure out why I only get Dolby Digital, or multi line displayed. If I play a movie with Dolby True, my display says multi line. What am I doing wrong?

what is your bluray player? if its a ps3 the light will never light up but you are receiving hd audio just that the ps3 decodes it not the receiver

It should pop up on your HDdvd player because that is decoded in TrueHD, but the PS3 will never show up on the receiver, only multi-channel. You'll be able to hear a difference between your PS3 and HD dvd audio.
