You are joking right? The S at the end definately means silver.

He's referring to the blue-dot problem that the 806 has when trying to convert to 1080p. Calm down guys. He's just trying to help others with their purchases which I appreciate because I am in the market too.

the S im referring is at the end of the seriel number

my model = tx-sr806B

my seriel number = xxxxxx then an S at the end.

i just wanted to give everyone a heads up that if you buy the 806B from amazon that they ARE updated with the new hdmi boards thus no blue dot problems

seriel #s for the 806 ending in S = onkyo fixed the problem
plus i bought mine "new" so im good to go!!!

Both of you are right, Killa just misunderstood. The 806b is black and the 806s is silver. Killa is referring to the S at the end of the MODEL number, but Don is referrng to the S at the end of the serial number.

I'm glad this rings true. I am also going to pick up the 806. Trying to decide on the color. I was going to get the Pioneer Elite but it jumped up 200dollars... lame.

Definetly go with the Onkyo, I have an 805 and this thing rocks. The sound is incredible and the auto set up is nearly flawless. I will say though keep it well ventilated as this thing puts out some heat, I have mine in an open entertainment stand and I have no problems but in an enclosed or tight space a fan would help. Check my gallery out to see my placement. I have used Onkyo Recievers for 15 years now and my first reciever ever just quit and when I got the 805 my dughter took my old 600 series with Dolby Digital and DTS and she loves it. Only 7 year old who has a rockin surround sound system in there room and appreciates it...lol.
