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.

That's simple. None. Don't buy it. It's a faulty device full of firmware problems. It never switched properly between HDMI devices properly for me so I returned it.

this is because something is going with cabling, high volume, speaker in process of going dead. I have one, and I have to tell you this is the worst receiver i have! My problem only happends viewing BD/DVD, mostly with Dolby Tru HD decoding and looking a very high frequencyt scenes liek the ones on Resident evil -extintion. I revise, reset, disconnect and do everything that the web site told me to. Also, I start testing each speaker, and disconnecting one speaker at a time and repeating the scene that is causing the protector to activate. I thaught I found the problematic speaker, but wrong, it happend again, same movie same scene... it is very frustrating My advice, return the unnit, get a Yamaha....

The receiver comes with a 2 year Manufacturers Warranty. Be sure to register the Product on H/K's Web Site. The company that sold me mine DID NOT offer an extended warranty.....but some do. H/K does not.

Hey all - hate to break this to ya, but I just tried it out on my 3d setup, and this receiver doesn't seem to pass through at all - I've tried it with DirecTV 3d channels, and with my PS3, and if I connect directly to the TV HDMI, it works just fine, but going through the receiver, as soon as I try and view 3d content, there is no dice. Kind of annoyed here, since I bought this receiver about 1.5 years ago, and it looks like now I'll either have to go through the painful process of hooking up 3d devices directly to the TV, or buy a new 3d capable receiver - poop! :( Well - good luck - hope you folks have better luck than I did :(

I have had intermittent issues with the on/off switch. As of late it has gotten much worse but of course it is out of warranty. But it is the best sounding BT headset I ever had.

Hello there, I haven't had any problem with it so I really don't know. Please consider that this model is an old model and very slow, I bought it 2 months ago and I will replace it because of this. Cheers!

The HDMI handshaking protocol has to be inviked everytime a device is switched, so never switch devices unless ypu are prepared for this delay, it is true of all HDMI switches not just this one.

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.

My problems with this model started about a month before it was 2 years old. The HDMI inputs started acting weird. For some unknown reason, 2 of them have stopped working, and today, static started coming out of the speakers. very frustrating...

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.

It's been out for almost a year now as mentioned by some of the other responses. I will say though that I have not had any of the issues expressed. I bought the unit new as soon as it came out and haven't had any major issues that required a send back. I will say that it doesn't have the quickest boot time (~30-45 sec) and the GPS loses its recent history every once in a while but other than that it's a great unit. The GPS navigation is stellar and the wifi works good if you have tethering on your phone or a mobile hotspot. In short, of the 4 units I tried (Pioneer, Clarion, OEM and this one) this Kenwood has been the best. Just thought I would put that out there. Good luck on your search.

I have had mine for almost a year and I have to reset mine frequently because it will stops responding to the remote after a while. I am gonna try and find a better matrix switcher, because it is really annoying.

I've had the unit for several years with no problems. However, when you switch functions from TV/ Cable to DVD it automatically switches the audio source for you. But, when you switch back, you have to manually reset the Function to TV / Cable. Hope that's all your problem is.

I've had mine for a little over a year now with no problems. I'm thinking about upgrading to the Q3 soon. Hope this helps.

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.
