It only pops when switching between input sources. I.e. when I switch from DVD to my PS3 ... It occasionally pops as well when my receiver is on, tuned into my PS3 (which is off) and I turn the PS3 on.

From the various threads on AVS I read this appears to be common and on Onkyo's website I remember reading somewhere this may occur and that this is NOT indicative of a faulty unit.

It really doesn't bother me a whole lot. As I said, I've really only had it when switching input sources. When I am playing a BD I never had any popping. Not even when the BD switches between sound modes.

I know the 805 has a lot of advanced settings that can be tuned and I really haven't played with those yet. I basically ran through the audessy setup and left it at that.

In addition, the 805 has a RS232 port on the back. I am hoping it's there to allow for firmware upgrades, so perhaps they'll release an update sometime in the near future to address this issue.

I wouldn't trade my Onkyo for anything in the world. It kicks ass.
