Has the HDMI issues plaguing this AVR been resolved yet? Was thinking for a 2nd system mainly due to the wireless connectivity option but no risks pls

I have not had any HDMI issues with this receiver that was purchased in early December. I have read about some people who have had some issues when using the CEC/HDMI control feature.

As of today's date, the HDMI issue has not been resolved by SONY. My recommendation is to look elsewhere for a receiver. I understand from research that ONKYO had a similar problem very early in 2013. However, the difference appears to be that ONKYO has resolved the problem. I returned my SONY 1040 and purchased ONKYO 626. A bit less power, however, I can watch TV without unplugging the receiver every few days just to get it to work.

I'm not familiar with the HDMI issues with this device. I have been using it flawlessly for several months. The Apple AirPlay and wireless connectivity work like a charm. The HDMI connections were a breeze and eliminated a huge tangle of old analog cables in the back.

My system stooped working after less than six months. Sony tech support is awful! I have a lot of Sony products but this may be it for me. HDMI out is unusable...

The sound is actually pretty good, but I'm still getting a sound bar and wireless base. Since this is a Sony system, can anyone give me Sony model numbers that they like the best and why? My TV is the 550 70". Thanks.

i'd stay away from it for now, not a delay thing, but a hotfix/security update or something for windows that installed at night, killed it.. As an alternative look for a vga or hdmi extension cable (depending on what your system puter has)

I've been using mine rather heavily since March 2013... zero problems with the sub (and I think my neighbors would agree with that statement). I've had problems with intermittent audio drops when running optical out from my TV to the Onkyo; however, I rewired using all HDMI and it seems to have resolved that issue - unsure whether that was an 'onkyo problem' or a 'vizio problem', but rewiring fixed it either way.

I didnt have an issue with mine. You have it the receiver to automatically detect and send audio? Maybe try a different HDMI?

Have they resolved this issue yet? I am thinking about buying this TV, and would like to know if they resolved this issue.

Not sure about AV connections, but this solution worked for me when i had the issue. But alas i am using HDMI

No I don't have this system but I was gonna buy it soon. This would be primarily for playing my 360 so any potential problems with that gets me concerned about it. Are all your cables hdmi 1.4? Even though I don't think that is the problem I always wondered if I ran my PS3 or 360 with hdmi 1.4 to the receiver and the one to the t.v is 1.3 or 1.2 if it would cause problems with the picture. I have always opted for a whole theater in a box but am recently building a surround sound and am trying to learn the system a little bit first.

Not aware of any HDMI issues, it's a little confusing with HDMI port assighments. Have ARC working as well with new TV...works great.

Sorry to say but it's time to look elsewhere than Onkyo, hdmi failure across the board, still no acknowledgement of the problem, this product is just as prone to failure as the lower end models, myself and Onkyo have parted ways am now running an Sc-79 and couldn't be happier

I haven't seen the HDMI handshake issue with this receiver, but I know there is a flaw with HDMI implementation in general that can and does cause HDMI issues with many devices.

I've had mine for almost three years, but I didn't start using it often until recently. I had problems playing some Disney Blu-Ray disks I purchased for my son... The picture and sound would cut out intermittently when watching the movies, and it seemed to get worse each time we watched them. I figured my problem had something to do with anti-piracy nonsense, since I refused to update the firmware... A friend ended up an expensive paperweight when he did the firmware update. I solved my problem (at least so far) by taking my home theater receiver out of the loop and connecting the blu-ray player directly to the TV via HDMI. So far, so good.

I have checked online and found out from reviews on CNET.com that this is a recurring problem with this receiver. Some owners have had to replace the hdmi board. Not good. If this is the case, I will no longer purchase any other Onkyo receivers. I was using my PS3 not just for playing games, but watching DVD's & watching Netflix. I have replaced the receiver with a different brand.

I've only had mine for 3 days, but I seem to have some kind of Stand-by audio passthrough. I read a couple of user reports that said the same thing, or showed various workarounds. I have a new Panasonic 50" 3D plasma that is connected to the AVX-920-K with new high speed HDMI cable (it's the ONLY connection to the 920-K), and with the A/V receiver turned completely off (Standby), I still have audio through my integral TV speakers, the volume of which can be adjusted with the TV remote. This allows for use of the TV for mundane things like the news and weather without having to fire up the receiver. For BluRay, movies, music, etc, I can fire up the receiver, and if the TV is running, audio switches to Surround sound in one of the Stereo modes, and volume control is thru the receiver. I took my time in setting up the receiver when it finally came (several blizzards in the midwest and New England delayed it enroute), and I read the manual thoroughly, including the numerous footnotes seemingly at the bottom of most pages. I don't know how I arrived at having Standby audio pass-through---I just followed the instructions in the manual during set-up, and everything is high-speed HDMI cables with ethernet except the Wii, which is composite, but is also plugged into the receiver now, and works fine. I'm very happy with the whole shebang now, so I'm not gonna change any of it.

I had the same question. Glad to hear that there is no video lag.On the same note, I have a similar question: I would like to connect my Nintendo Wii through this receiver as well. Will this model take analog component and pipe it out over HDMI? The setup I currently have does not have component-in, so I will be using this as a hub for the time being. I realize there may be some input-lag due to conversion, I just want to confirm that this device would accept analog component input and then be able to push it out over HDMI.Any info would be appreciated!
