I purchased a new Sony Bravia 52" LCD TV as well as this Onkyo receiver about 2 weeks ago. My Motorola Comcast cable box only had a composite hook up which I ran to the reciever and then HDMI to the TV. I immediately noticed video drop outs of several seconds when changing channels and at TV commercials. Audio worked fine during the drop outs. It was suggested that I check the video signal strength. Had it done and Comcast said it was fine but put in a signal amplifier anyway. I ended up replacing the Comcast box (with another Motorola) to get an HDMI out to the receiver and it all works fine. Very disappointed in the Onkyo performance using composite. If you only have a composite connection I would not buy this receiver.
Other than that this receiver is very good. The picture with HDMI is better than composite. The sound quality is superb. The reviewer's comments re the remote are right on but I purchased a Logitech remote - simply great so I do not have the remote problems.Get more detail about Onkyo TX-SR806 7.1 Channel Home Theater Receiver (Black).
