Onkyo HDMI bad boards.

Anyone else having issues with the HDMI boards on Tx NR609. There was a recall I had it fixed and now it’s bad again, I am offered a different  unit for cheap but after research the boards go bad on them too. I’m done with Onkyo.

I have owned an Onkyo TX-SR705 AVR since the fall of 2007 and never a failure.  Soon after, I think the TX-SR#06(possibly SR/NR#07) series is where the troubles began.  Onkyo/Integra did make good after much outcry and warrantied most of the troubled AVRs.  Supposedly they went to a new OEM HDMI board supplier and the problems have been minimal in comparison.

Sorry for all of your Onkyo HDMI woes.
