It's new enough that it's hard to find reviews, but I'm thinking about replacing my living room audio receiver and tuner with this unit. It sounds like this is a trying to almost be a Sonos replacement, at somewhat less cost. Any thoughts or experience with this unit?

Sometimes you can do both, but given my experience so far with the current Denon, they seem to be firmly entrenched in the latter.

Do Denon's newest AVR-series downscale HDMI-input to the composite output?

Recently I saw the Dell XPS 8300 which had no details and I'm considering buying a Denon 3312 which isn't yet listed on the site and it made me wonder what the process was and whether the community is involved at all.

I want to hook the tv up to a Denon AVR-591 receiver which supports this capability so that when I play Netflix movies on the TV, the audio is returned via the HDMI cable to the Denon and plays over the speakers connected to the Denon.
