it looks like you can save 1 manual setting and seveal YPAO settings but the manual does not state how many you can store and retreive

You can set a surround mode for each of the scene buttons. I know......but four is better than none.



The reality is that when driving 5 or 7 channels your AVR will put out a max of about half the rated power
, so the difference between 75 and 90 watts is really about 7 watts per channel(very close to meaningless). It's all about the same power transformer driving 5 or 7 amplifiers. Denon brags about discrete amplifiers. Doesn't mean a thing if they're driven by a single small power transformer. Look at the toroidal power transformer in a good separate 2 ch. power amp,it's as big as your fist(that's a high current amp),then look at the one in your AVR,it'll fit in your palm(that's not a high current amp). No way physically or financially to put 3 of those high current babies in your AVR. The 1.8 lbs difference is probably the 7 ch. vs. 5ch. 5x75 does equal 375 watts,7x90=630 watts hence the bigger max power consumption. Unfortunately the trend the last several years is to add more features(web,Icrap,streaming etc),not improve audio performance. The RX-V671 is a perfect example. Save your pennies and add a high current amp to those pre-outs and Holy Moly!
You will hear a big-time difference!!
