Can we get this one started as well since they've been shipping....mine has been performing OK with the VERY limited testing I've done. Only thing I've noticed so far is volume seems lower than expected based on dB setting.

This is my 1st AVR that has HDMI on it and have connected all my hardware via that but have an issue with my Mits 73735 TV, the video settings keep getting reset back to the factory defaults if I:
- Switch inputs on the TV to something else and then back to the TX-NR708
- Turn the TV off and then back on.
All the hardware that's now going thru the AVR used to be HDMI connected directly to the Mits without any problems.
This is a real PITA and if I can't find a way to stop this this receiver is going back. Any ideas on if there's a setting that I can change to stop this?

Not sure if this is the answer for you but have you tried turning the 708's HDMI control on or off to see if it helps?

The only other thing I can think of is to check your HDMI out resolution setting to see what's going to your TV (not sure what default is). If memory serves, Mits has independent picture controls for each of it's native resolutions (480i, 480P 1080 etc.) Maybe what the AVR is set at and outputting doesn't match the default resolution of the Mits and whatever changes you make under current screen are lost and reset to default either by turning off or changing inputs on the TV. Just an idea.

quick question for owners...if you have the osd enabled and are watching a 1080i source, does hitting display show the 1080i 24 bit in and 1080i 30 bit out?

I've only had mine a few days and am still playing around with it. Volume is very non-linear...fairly quiet up to about 50% then will shake the rafters if cranked much more above that. Clean sound far beyond normal listening levels. Absolutely no network streaming issues using a wireless router bridged to a second wireless router on the LAN. I am, however, fighting an HDMI handshake issue between the 708 and my new Samsung HDTV. It takes multiple power cycles of both the 708 and the Samsung before the Samsung will finally "see" the 708 and connect to it....otherwise, the Samsung displays "searching for signal" then finally "no signal". Neither Samsung nor Onkyo tech support were helpful with this issue. If a factory reset doesn't solve the problem, they're basically clueless. I'm going to attempt a workaround while I wait for a firmware update either from Samsung or Onkyo to resolve this.

At the risk of being too simplistic, does connecting directly from your source to the TV work? That would at least eliminate the TV as the problem.

When it does connect has it left all the picture settings alone on your TV or is it resetting them to defaults like on mine?

Response from Onkyo for the network problem:
"Please try the following reset: To do the reset you need to turn the receiver on, then on the front panel of the receiver press and hold the "VCR/DVR" button while doing that press the "STANDBY/ON" button. You will see the word "Clear" in the display screen and the receiver will go into standby mode. PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT YOU WILL LOOSE ALL YOUR AUDIO & VIDEO ASSIGNMENTS ON THE RECEIVER PLUS YOU WILL LOOSE ALL YOUR SPEAKER CONFIGURATIONS, SPEAKER DISTANCE AND ALL LEVEL CALIBRATION SETTINGS. YOU WILL ALSO LOOSE ANY PROGRAMMED RADIO STATIONS IN MEMORY. Once the receiver goes into standby mode turn it back on and go thru the setup menu for all custom settings. "

Sounds like it's already time for a firmware update.

So you are running the 708 directly into one wireless router which is communicating with a second gateway router on your network?

Don't waste your time with the reset procedure, I did it this morning and of course it didn't fix the network connection issue, still there.
I was hoping that it would also fix my HDMI issue with my Mits but that's still there and that's a show stopper for this receiver.

Definitely time for a firmware update. Or a return.
Mine:
- It doesn't pass my Panasonic DMP-BD55 BluRay HDMI through properly. I get garbage on my HDCP-compatible DVI input Hitachi 51SWX20B TV. It works perfectly connected directly to the TV. My only two HDMI sources (PS3 & a Mac via DVI) work perfectly through the Onkyo. I'm forced to use the component outputs for BluRay.
- Last night my wife complained of random, short audio dropouts from our DirecTV TiVo (S-Video + Optical) -- I shrugged it off as network problems. But the next day she called me at work to tell me there was no audio at all on any channel, on either TiVo. After 45 minutes of remote debugging, I gave up, she turned it all off.
When I got home, the receiver was off, but warm to the touch, just like it is when it's on in normal use. I turned it on, and sure enough, no sound. Display says it's getting a good signal, but it's not creating any sound! Under the DVR, for audio it displayed "T-D". I didn't get audio for any input, including BluRay, Pandora, or my TiVos. Even in Pure Audio mode.
After going through every single setup screen, I gave up, turned it off, pulled the power plug from the surge protector, waited 10 seconds, and plugged it back in. Voila! Everything is back to normal, it sounds great.
What happened? What does T-D mean?
