Recommendation for an equivalent to Onkyo 706

[aramis109]

What's the problem? Apparently I don't have the issue on the 605 since I am able to use the 360, Wii, and cable without issue.

I just saw this thread...........

What about the Denon AVR-1909? You can find it online for under $600.

I went from a "bugy" Onkyo 805 to the Denon 3808CI and could not be happier.

I just looked at your pics again, and just noticed, not to get sidetracked or anything, but that fish, I can't remember how to spell it, ariwana or something, it is soo awesome!

LOL....Arowana. Thanks! He's a beast. I've had him for about 6 years now and he's just over 22" long. He jumped out the tank 3 weeks ago and scarred the sh*t out of me.

I got him back in the tank though and he's fine, but really banged up.

Now.....back to your receiver issue

I would go with a Denon or Yamaha.

Lol I was close. I had one a few years back with my uncles tank. It was fun hand feeding it. Got to be about the same length as the one you have. I saw one at an aquarium that had to be 5ft long it was crazy.

I am going to look into yamaha. The new Pioneers only have sub pre-outs. That doesn't help if I want an amp somewhere down the road.

I was having issues with bitstreaming to the 706, audio came out all choppy, sort of like a skipping cd. but according to the two different service centers I took it to, they said that it was 100% perfectly fine....guess its just in my head

Ah, just realized you changed your avatar and I "didn't recognize you". I forget if you have a 360 with HDMI or not, but if you don't, have you tried a different optical cable? It's kind of easy for those to get damaged- if they're tweaked too far it cracks it and messes up the light path.

*edit* Nevermind, just read your other thread.
