I called Panasonic yesterday and they said it will be released very shortly (2 days to 2 weeks). They are also mailing me the firmware. I guess TV can automatically pick up the update if it is connected.

Please google it. I think you might find something on avsforum.com. If I remember, it has been addressed or will be shortly. Not sure if this applies to specific Onkyo models.

A/V Guru: I was wondering if you could elaborate on the core differences between the Onkyo HT-S3300 and the Denon DHT-391XP. I currently only have an Xbox 360 and a HD cable box, and am looking for a system that can handle those two components as well as (which is the actual reason for getting the system) my music (via computer and Ipod). As this is the main reason for investing in a system, I would prefer to have a quality base setup. Looks like the Onkyo has a few more features on the receiver, and I was wondering if you could let me know why those are there (pretty naive on this whole subject, sorry). I see that the Onkyo has the "green, blue, and red" input cords like those that come from the Xbox, while the Denon does not. And the sony receivers systems in this price range seem to be much sleeker (but input wise more similar to the denon). So does it sound like I actually need all of the extra inputs that the Onkyo offers? And with all this in mind do you have recommendation

Sorry but mine was DOA. It was returned and a replacement of same model requested. It too was DOA. I never got to try it but bought the Onkyo instead. It feeds video directly from DirecTV to HDMI TV (Sharp Acquos) and audio to the Onkyo unit and to my very fine Onkyo receiver. A few problems understanding the proper speaker hookup were quickly solved by a phone call to Onkyo tech service, a rare phenomenon indeed these days!

I wish I could help you but my receiver did not work long enough to answer that question. I was never able to get help for Onkyo or Amazon to get it fixed. It's been setting in my supply room over a year.

I would suggest checking with Onkyo Tech Support. Hope that helps! Good luck!

Yes Amazon is an authorized dealer. However as a current onkyo owner going through a warranty claim I would like to strongly suggest that you do not purchase an onkyo product. My receiver has been out for over a month and neither Onkyo nor the service center can give a crap about it. They do not even offer to expedite the shipping. Unfortunately Onkyo support is a joke. They have suggested that I should send my unit for repair without even trying to troubleshoot. They do not have advance RMA service. Their customer relations is also a big joke also. They just listen to what you have to say and initiate nothing to solve your problem. I have been told over one month for repair was unacceptable however they were not authorize to send my unit overnight. I have bought over 5 onkyo units for my various clients from amazon needless to say this is my final onkyo unit and I will be looking for a more professional company for my next unit.

I believe that the warranty would be honored by the manufacturer as Amazon is acting as the distributor. A representative from Amazon should be able to answer your question directly. I have owned Onkyo products for years and have had excellent performance for the price.

Thanks for sharing your experience. Now, we are forced to buy a new receiver due to 3D capabilities. It is quite annoying...Regards

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.

I too had a TX-NR515 delivered last week from Amazon with this firmware version. It would not allow me to put the other version of the firmware on it via USB as it said it was up to date. I called Onkyo and they said that as long as the last 4 digits were 0400, than it is the most recent update, even if there is some difference with a 5 instead of4 in the first sequence of numbers. So far it has been working just fine... but agian, it has only been a week or so.

Have you called Onkyo to see if they have any suggestions? Or maybe go to one of the AVS forums, they may just have an answer for you. somewhere like digital home forums . com or avsforums dot com. they are pretty brilliant there and most are either dealers or beta testers for a lot of the gear. good luck

Glad to say that after 2.5 years these things are still good as new. The Onkyo receiver is getting a bit glitchy though. Auto switching between settings for inputs is abrupt and not optimized, so I have to adjust settings more than I'd like. And pass thru doesn't work anymore. I'm not up to speed on specific models these days but I'd start at $500 and go up from there. Harmon Kardon is well respected, I imagine they'll get a hard look next time around. 7.2 should be standard on most units in that range. Also Wi-Fi, etc could be cool. I'm not lacking for good speakers these days, but I would prefer simplicity which my onkyo lacks ($400 in 2009). Start with the negative reviews and go up from there keeping in mind a small allowance for factory defects, and if possible try it in store, or a similar version. Brands normally keep similar interfaces until big money comes into play. But I am still digging these speakers, money well spent. Hope that helps!

I had a similar issue with my onkyo receiver. Having the cable plugged into my phone then restarting seemed to take care of it kind of a pain in the ass cause I needed to do it every time.

My last reciever,10yr old sony str825 w 5.1 dolby ,I think,, had more power , but did not have the surround effect as the onkyo .We just love it for movies.. No issues yet with functions.

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 have no idea how a refurbished unit would be. Is it coming direct from Onkyo? Does it have a warranty? If so, I'd give it a shot. This is a really nice receiver. I love mine!

I know you can't send a digital sourced signal to zone 2 or three with the onkyo, don't know about the Denon. I have the Onkyo after looking at the Denon and could't justify the price difference since I didn't need internet radio. I'm really happy, I have no need of zone 2 or 3.
