Newegg has the Onkyo TX-NR818 7.2-Channel Network A/V Receiver for $699 with free shipping. Features built-in Wi-Fi and is Onkyo's higher-end model for 2012. Normally $800 or more.
i agree...i bought the onkyo 616 model almost 2 years ago and i'm experiencing sound problems from one of the hdmi inputs...i'd go denon if i were you...i have 3 denons now and my oldest one being 9 years old and none have have issues.
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.
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.
