Anyone else using a TX-SRx05 series AVR? Have you had anything odd happen when up converting the video? Mine has split the signal(like it's loosing a sync signal) when going from composite to component or composite/component to HDMI. I might be overlooking something in the menu's but I doubt it. Any thoughts or ideas guys? This is a pain in the arse.

    The x05 series is widely know for failing the Hdmi board due to heat issues. I would have it checked out.

    Another ODD thing I've observed is that when it does this, all I have to do is switch sources and then back and it'll clear up for a while. I had KIND of thought that PCB was the issue. For a LONG LONG time I drove my M12's(at times quite hard) with the amps in my 705, so heat makes a LOT of sense. I'm guessing a new pcb would require some type of calibration or alignment procedure to get it into spec(I have yet to find a service manual for it-hifi engine has the user manual though), any ideas? Or do you think it's possible to order a new one and drop it in?

    It is my understanding that onkyo only sells parts to authorised service centers.

Now there is a lot that bird don't know, but it don't change the fact that the world is happening to him all the same.

    I have a 705 that loses settings when the power goes out. I ended up replacing it with a 717 as it made more sense than to pay to and from shipping.

    Shipping that bad? IF I do anything it'll be an upgrade to a pre/pro and a 5 channel amp to drive the HT stuff. HOPING next year will be a little more kind to my bank account.
