Onkyo TX-SR606 Pro's & Con's(opinions wanted)

[zodiak]

Im considering purchasing this Receiver, and would like to get a feel from the experts here as to if its a worthy investment.

Im very new at this and woudnt really know whats worth what, however I have done some research, Im concerned with picture quality I read some one claim this receiver leaves a faint blue streak in the picture(maybe it was a particular batch of models?) I see that driver king has this receiver and his views are very helpful so I dont know? whats what......I am looking for a modest priced receiver that wont effect picture quality when using HDMI connections...I have a HD cable receiver,sony bluray player those will be whats getting run through the receiver.

Thanks for your wisdom and knowledge.
