I'm not sure what you want us to suggest as £30 for a replacement remote isn't that bad. I will say this though, the remote for the 3805 is crap. In fact, most AV Receiver remotes are. I would always recommend going for a universal remote such as the Logitech Harmony range. They will do a lot more than just control your receiver. With a little time setting them up, you will be able to program all your equipment in and at the touch of one button, the remote will issue the necessary commands to turn the right kit on and select the correct inputs. They really do simplify your setup no end. I wouldn't be without mine. They start at around £40 for the 525 model (if it's still current, check the remotes forum or logitech.com) but I would recommend going for the One.
