Well, just as I was thinking my issues were over, I had an HDMI failure this morning! Onkyo has promised that a firmware update would be available today, so I switched on to check this morning, only to find I had no video. I had to...

I totally disagree. The problem is that Onkyo has not TESTED the receivers properly. MSRP is not that different from the competition and specs are not identical.

I wouldn't have chosen this time of year to replace my receiver, but I had no choice. I needed something and the old models are not yet reduced enough to make them attractive. However, in my first direct communication with Onkyo, it...

The firmware update was pulled from the stream by Onkyo - because it fixed nothing! I have a TX-NR616 with the power problem (will not switch back on with the remote) and performed the update as soon as I got home last night. After over...

Well, it's looking like Onkyo has lost my business. I replaced my ailing 707 with a 616 on Saturday and, after finding out that the problem with the 707 is known to Onkyo, but they won't do anything about it out of warranty, the 616 has...

I bought a 616 last Saturday and I'm sad to say, it's going back to the store, probably in favor of a Yamaha 673! I had the 707 and it died last week. The fault, it turns out, is a known problem. The HDMI board is failing, meaning that...

Just for info, I got my kit last week at a new TigerDirect retail store in Jefferson, GA. I got it price-matched with Fry's for $240!
