Huh, mine is completely in the open...It's sitting on a chair right now until I can find a temporary stand. Check my HT pics and it's on a chair in front of that "hole" where my old reciever used to be.
Ok for those of you worried about the Blue-Dot issue:
I too was looking for a reciever less than a month ago, and did A LOT of research on Onkyo's, Pioneer's, Yammy's, and Denon's. The one AVR that kept coming back to me *"It's all coming back to me now!!!"* any way- was the Onkyo 806. But that Blue-dot issue really bothered me considereing I didn't want it onced I upgraded my display. So I did a lot of research on the solutions and problems with the Blue-dot display. I posted a thread a couple weeks back about it, go ahead and take a look at it. Again, it's subjective and I CAN NOT claim that this is true in the States, but Onkyo EUR is aware of the problem...just read.
