Sorry if I came off harsh. Didn't mean to.

I agree, that's an Onkyo bug.

My previous Onkyo, I could set the receiver for LATE NIGHT OFF and it would stay off (w/ DD). With this 705, it just keeps resetting to AUTO each time you turn it off. I had the worst problem with Bourne Ultimatum on HD DVD as this got tiresome. That's probably the sole reason I went and got the BD's so I didn't have to have that hassle with the DTS.

I do think my Onkyo 705 in general was not ready for primetime, given the AUTO feature reset, the DTSMA not having the ES extensions and my DD+ connection problems from my LG BH200 model. It seems that with my particular player, only Onkyos and Pioneers have that DD+ connect problem.

So in sum all the above issues are hardware and not codec related.
