One more question. I think the ethernet port on my 80.2 is not working. When I first hooked everything up the network settings were grayed out so I coulndn't get to them. I tried a different cable and was then able to get to the network setting, internet radio, check firmware etc.

Today the network is grayed out again and I tried a different cable again which didn't work this time. Am I missing something?

Were you using video processing while this was going on or straight thru? What surge protector do you use?

I think there are sequencing issues that may be important- i.e. Try having the tv on prior to doing the hard reset.

I received my 80.2 last Monday. After owning it for a week I am ready to put my 9.8 back in service. I never had syncing issues with the 9.8. I am getting fed up with this thing and my direcTv DVR. Trying to watch tv is like playing roulette. Not sure if you are going to get a picture or not, just roll the dice and see what happens. If you don't get a picture, it can take a long time to get it back. The worst part, for some reason, every time you skip forward or back on the DVR, I hear a click from the 80.2. I have even lost the picture a couple of times just QS through a commercial. Lately, we have been letting it run through commercials just so we don't lose the picture. I still have not found a way to consistently get it back. Turning everything off and then back on works sometime, pulling out the HDMI cable and plugging it back in the DVD sometimes works, but the trick I found last night which may end up being the root of all evil here. I found that if I set the resolution on the DVR to 720p it brought the picture back and we did not lose it all night. I think the 80.2 has a problem with 1080p. I have tried changing just about every setting in the 80.2 except "resolution = through" as this will net me a black screen every time. Auto seems to be the only one that works the most often.

I have tried replacing all of the cables once again with new 1.4 HDMI cables and the problem still exist. I must say that it looks like I am one of the lucky ones as my Ethernet works great. This is the only thing that is keeping this unit in my rack. I love being able to access my iTunes library on my mac. This alone is worth working through the problems here.

BTW, I see a lot of people bashing XLR connections. I decided to try some this time around. The only thing I can say is WOW. Unfortunately, I did not AB the old cables, but I can tell you there is a significant sound difference between the 9.8 and 80.2 and the only thing that changed was the cables. I am not aware that there were many changes made to the sound quality of this unit over the 9.8. I went from MTI Terminator 2 cables to cheap Monoprice Premium XLR (3ft cables.) I can't believe how much better this 80.2 sounds over my old 9.8.

Hopefully, Integra will fix these issues fast and upgrade the firmware.

Was trying to get a price on the DTR 80.2 unit and a local dealer quoted me 2800. Thought this was way too high. Anyone have a MSRP on this unit? Pm's welcome

Thanks in advance

First, even as an engineer and someone who loves figuring technology out, the manual SUCKS.

I haven't run speaker setup or Audyssey yet, family needed to watch TV.

I have a new Sony NX810 TV and all audio passes from the TV to the 80.2 with no issues. I get the audio from the TV tuner, Netflix, YouTube, etc...nice. The TV power also powers up the receiver and visa versa. Oddly, when I have this enabled, the Sony TV volume OSD shows the TV volume moving and the 80.2 vol moving even though the TV has it's internal speakers enabled. When I don't have the control over HDMI enabled, this doesn't happen.

So far all works, network, HDMI with the OPPO BDP83, the DirectTV HR22. I DO NOT like the relays that click every time I skip forward with the direct TV DVR. Maybe I'll stop noticing, but it sounds like 10 relays clicking every time the audio stream is disrupted. My old Proceed didn't do this.

With my old Proceed AVP I could define volume presets and call them with the remote. I can't find a way to do that with the 80.2. Is there any way to have each input start with a custom volume level?

From reading the marginal manual, it seems you can have each input have custom video processing but I can't seem to make that work. I'd like to send native resolution from the direct TV DVR to the 80.2 and try the scaling in the 80.2 to compare to the Sony TV.

So far no issues other than the clicking relays.

This thread is for the DHC-80.2. $2800 is MSRP for the DTR but you should be able to get it under MSRP
