Does anyone have the Onkyo 706 yet? Thoughts?

I hear you...

Where are the reviews? The Comparisons between the 706 and 707?

One thing I am shocked about the 706 is that there is not a power out for a fan.

Why would ONKYO leave that off?

I bought 706. Sound is good, but i have problems with component -> HDMI upscaling. When unit gets warm, sudden HDMI signal losses become usual and picture on the plasma disappears for 3-5 seconds or so. Possibly overheating problem. Cant recommend it...

Try reading/posting in the official 706 thread:

It is not as active as the other Onkyo threads. I am very satisfied with my 706. Read the Sound&Vision magazine review here:

I had problems with component -> HDMI upscaling. HDMI signal blanked out when receiver warmed up. I changed the receiver and new one doesn't has this problem. Aso everything else is fine, including Audyssey.

That would be an excelent answer if the "The "official" The Onkyo TX-SR706 Owners Thread" actually existed when Tayja originally asked about the 706
