    Prepare to have problems with this....Onkyo has a reputation of firmware problems and releasing units with bug ridden firmware...

    I've had a Onkyo TX-DS787 for over 8 years and never had the first problem. It's used daily with my Panasonic 50" plasma TV for audio.

    Those hdmi problems are prevalent and all over the Internet.

    I have an Onkyo TX NR809, and the HDMI signals drop out randomly. It is less than 6 months old. I am going to buy a Denon after the holidays because the Onkyo is so annoying.

    Agree on spotty Onkyo quality. I've got an old 502 that still works perfectly. Tried 3 different 805's years ago and gave up on them because of lip-sync issues. Bought the Denon 1909. Now it's lost one of it's rear channels, so I don't know if Denon is the answer.
