    This really seems like a GREAT deal!

    I would love to hook this thing up to a lot of my speakers around the Cottages front room!

    I was thinking when I looked at the ad:

    Most people were scared of a 5.1 receiver's rear inputs and outputs. My wife and step-daughter, my sister and nephew and my sister's boyfriend all are CONFUSED for some reason when it comes to a receiver. So maybe the more Manufacturers are targeting us, the knowledgeable, they're scaring the others into oblivion. Just look at options we have on the back of this beauty. I LIKE! Others see Frightning Complexity. Even though it's all explained in words in a contained incircled area with in and out spelled in English.

    Onkyo isn’t a popular brand here, and I can understand with their history of board failures, and of course my personal issue with AccueEQ.

    Saw this and figured that if somebody was looking for something budget friendly, this may be of interest. If I were looking for an AVR for something like a bedroom, or a game room, I might consider it.

    Onkyo makes a nice receiver. But everyone I know, me included, has had an HDMI board failure. Pre/pros included. Wouldn't consider one, ever.

    If they would admit and support the problem/fix they'd open up their market and make oodles. I love my only, but... It needs a HDMI board. And they don't make them. And no one else supports them (likely a patent issue). DIY fixes are prohibitive and don't cover all possible issues.

    Factory repaired boards aren't covered when they fail (again). And unfortunately the closest factory approved repair site is ~80 miles from me. A new board cannot be purchased by itself for DIY installation.

    OK
    That install is jacked
    Those wires were already coming across the wire way, why not place the cabinets correctly and run cables down in the cabinets properly :#:#:#

    That bottom picture is supposed to be a HOME AUTOMATED INSTALLATION. :o

    What does a house need with that much wire/cabling?

    Has anybody here on this forum seen or done an install like this?

    If I saw the backs of all those pieces and had to connect it all, I'd have to say, give me about 3 days... please? :D
