Need advice on home theater receivers

So I can get this one for $300 brand new, slightly old but never used from a rep at Denon. http://usa.denon.com/us/Product/Pag...roductId=548d1dfb-79a7-4e9e-bc6f-c66f86ba4c9f
I just bought this one: STR DH520: http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs...gglsrch:havmodels_strdh520_p_6938407564_dh520
Is it worth it to return it and get the Denon?

The Denon has more features and way more expensive but ask yourself. "Do I really need all these ports/things" Unless you just wanna buy it to show off.
Me knowing I wont use all that shiny stuff in the Denon. I wouldnt buy it since i barely have any hd stuff lol

I can confirm this also works great with a 2 euro coin. Thanks!

I still think this will hurt resale value. Techies aren't the only people who buy used phones on eBay.
Still, good tip.

I was extremely affraid of doing this, using a 2 Euro coin worked very well although now there IS a tiny little scratch, almost not visible, I think this happened while holding the coin the wrong way. But the Verizon Logo is gone. I live in Germany, I don't care about Verizon Wireless ^^

Using a penny it came off, had to use a little more than gentle effort, but no scratches, just a tiny bit of residue leftover where it used to say Verizon

Lmao...do you think someone is even gonna notice? I can see it now...."hmm? Im not gonna buy that...its missing the logo."....

Has anyone tried the sponge-method to make the chrome look like brushed metal? What do you think?

Old people care about the dumbest **** man, lol.
Edit: I'm not saying it's a bad idea, I'll probably just avoid it because I'm paranoid like that and when the time comes to sell it I want it to be in as good of condition as possible.

iPhone 4 Spontaneously Caught Fire In a Flight

This iPhone 4 started to glow red and smolder with dense fumes in the middle of a flight to Sidney, Australia. Fortunately, a flight attendant stopped it from exploding violently, something that has happened before with other gadgets.

So true. They are probably going to call it a magical new hidden feature designed to let you know when the battery is failing and doubles as a warmth mechanism

So if I'm getting this right, your saying on a public forum you stole some ones tablet and are bragging about it? If I meet you I'd punch you dead in the jaw and call the cops. This is why the world is going to **** in a hand basket.

If this is a joke, yes that is a bad one to say. Seriously, who in their right mind would joke about stealing stuff.

Not cool to joke about something like this, not to mention filling the board full of junk threads.

I think you are on the wrong forum dude, this is XDA Developers, not a charity organization. Also, check your facts before you repost stuff like this, as most of the time, these stories aren't true.

How are would they put an adult's lung inside a 10 year old girl?

I realize that this is not a charity org site, which is why I'm not asking for monetary donations. All I'm asking for is a couple of minutes out of everyone's busy schedule to just sign a petition that could possibly help the child from my post above or any other child that may face the same situation in the near future.
Besides, the last I checked, this is an off topic forum.
Also for those that feel this is fake...that's why I posted the link to abcnews site. This was also on the news broadcast this afternoon. Check all the news sources online or offline and let me know if you find that this is a scam.

Even when petitions "succeed" they typically do absolutely nothing and the people who sign them go back to their lives feeling like they made a difference. If you really care about something then you need to call or write your representative and encourage others to do the same.

Also for those that are skeptical, the petition to Make Unlocking Cell Phones Legal received 114,322 signatures(including mine) and resulted in an official White House response:
OFFICIAL WHITE HOUSE RESPONSE TOMake Unlocking Cell Phones Legal. said:
The White House agrees with the 114,000+ of you who believe that consumers should be able to unlock their cell phones without risking criminal or other penalties. In fact, we believe the same principle should also apply to tablets, which are increasingly similar to smart phones. And if you have paid for your mobile device, and aren't bound by a service agreement or other obligation, you should be able to use it on another network. It's common sense, crucial for protecting consumer choice, and important for ensuring we continue to have the vibrant, competitive wireless market that delivers innovative products and solid service to meet consumers' needs.
