Onkyo TX-SR 706 S Silber - 7.1 AV-Receiver, 7x160Watt 7.1-Kanäle

This receiver is moderately priced with a lot of high end features. If all features work it's a great value for the price Research showed that several of the units of this model had an issue with light color to white picture causing the video signal to drop out. I purchased this model receiver from an eBay dealer who described it as being in "mint" condition and "working perfectly." After receiving it I connected 4 components to it, a PVR on one of the HDMI inputs, a DVD recorder & and a WII into both of the component (green, blue, red) inputs, and an HDTV connected through the HDMI output. The audio was excellent for all inputs. Picture on the TV from the PVR was crisp. DVD and WII picture was also crisp for video that had normal to dark color, but the receiver had the video drop out with the light to white colors found in the research. Called manufacturer but was told the warranty was void because I didn't purchase from an "authorized dealer". Had to return it to the seller who is currently delaying a refund of the purchase price.
