mine worked perfectly for 9 months. Now, 11 months in - not a single HDMI input can pass 1080p.

well my video won't switch between component inputs, i have to turn it off/on. so maybe not just a HDMI board problem

Mine lasted less than a year and since I didn't buy from an authorized dealer, even though it was new, they did nothing for me. I will never buy another Onkyo product again.

unfortuantely we all got what we paid for. There's a reason it had all the hdmi inputs and functionality of a higher priced unit. Onkyo obviously put in inferior components parts and boards. Mine stopped working after about a year but it took me a year of fiddling with cables, replacing hdmi cables, buying a new roku unit etc etc before it finally dawned on my that my fancy new receiver didn't work! Painful lesson learned. Don't buy this unit. It will fail. Just a matter of time.

Anyone with a TX606 with HDMI handshake problems be willing to sell it to me as is?

I agree that no one should buy this unit at this point in time knowing what's going on with it. HOWEVER, for those of you who have, remember you have a 2 YR warranty. Mine went out at 15 months and I was able to take it to a local authorized Onkyo service center and have it repaired for free. Runs like new now.

I have only had mine for one year. I have had no problems as of yet with it.

I had one, the hdmi board failed the first time we used it. Extremely difficult to get responses from customer service. Finally sent me to a repair center, tried to tell me it was my fault, that I probably did something to it. I had to pay the labor to replace the part. Took 3 month's to receive a new board. The new board lasted less than 1 year before failure of the same part. Out of 1 year Onkyo warranty, even though it was defective to start so they wouldn't replace the part for free. It's a lemon, read the message boards for nothing but complaints!!!!! I would never buy a Onkyo product again, partly due to their poor customer service.

My former receiver was good but i'm glad I made the purchase. It manages to take ALL my hdmi units. The sound is great. I've utilized all the speaker outputs to get sound around my family room. A great receiver at a great price. I have no desire to think about 'retiring' it. I hope this helps.

I've had mine for about 2.5 years and it is working flawlessly. This is, by far, the best Bluray/DVD player that I have ever owned - 2nd best would be my Oppo BDP-83. FYI, I have not loaded the latest firmware because I want to retain ISO file playback capability. These are exceptionally good players, I highly recommend them. -RW-

I haven't had any problems at all, had it for about 6 months and use it everyday. I would think if someone had a problem with it working only randomly that there was something wrong with it.

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 have been using my unit for 1 1/2 years with no problems. I am happy that I purchased it. As with all electronics, it is possible to receive a bad unit.

I can't say anything specific about that problem what I can tell you is that these were a known faulty product from onkyo. It was the first and last onkyo receiver I bought. My receiver went bad after a little over a year of use. Went back to Sony and it's all I buy.

I called the manufacturer and they fixed it for free. It took 2 months to fix at the local repair joint that onkyo picked, but it still got fixed and hasn't malfunctioned again in the last 2 years.

I have a 360 and a Dell Zino HD. Both cause the 1020 to freeze. Nothing should cause a good switching receiver to freeze. The firmware should have error correction built into the hdmi handshake. Hopefully they can fix it in an update.

I own this receiver. It has been a great performer for me . However I am aware of message boards that talk about hdmi board failures for this unit.

I have never had that problem. Was that the only one. If it wasn't then I would want to send it back through Amazon. Your situation has to be very rare.

I've read other reviews prior to purchasing this unit and the Manufacturer stood behind the product for other consumers. Problems with the switch were handled by sending a new, HD switch and folks seemed satisfied. I have not had any issue with my unit as of yet. Hope that helps.

sounds like you have had some bad luck. I've had mine for 3 yrs, have moved twice during that time and have never had any issues with the remote or the tv for that matter. Sorry. :-(

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.
