I have a previous version of this receiver and I doubt this one would be any different: Onkyo makes decent receivers but make sure you place it in a well ventilated place as it gets pretty warm with usage (don't put it in a closet or stack other components on top of it) might be OK for a few years but HEAT is electronics' first enemy...
Had a similar Onkyo model that just started smoking and died after 6 months of use. The warranty wants me to pay for shipping to their service center so they can then decide if they will replace it or not. Just my 2 cents.
Any good deals for Onkyo TX-SR606 or 706, Ben? Thanks.
This is a pretty good deal. The HDMI is a switch so it's just a pass-through.
I have one of these. It's pretty good. Not a bad price.
