Vince:

Not sure I'm going to be terribly helpful here as I just use the Denon 3910 as a digital solution for SACD. When I first got the unit, i tried it with DVD-A but could only get 2.0,not 5.1 - since it took forever to get this piece from DVDUpgrades I decided it was not worth the hassle of sending it back for a diagnosis, particularly since it works really well with SACD. Also, as the 800 is so good with DVD-A, there was no pressing sound-quality reason to use the 3910 - incidentally, before the 800 i had the G98, which to my ears sound identical when playing DVD-A back through my 861.
