    New AVR help

    Good news! I got my Onkyo working again. Fiddled around in the back and saw it had 2 HDMI outputs. The second one still works. Maybe that'll get me by for a while. Thanks for the advice. If it dies I know what I'm getting....If the 800 offer is accepted I guess I'm getting one any way :)

    can an onkyo TX-NR905 be upgraded?

    i bought the receiver a few years back and it was advertised as "future proof". i kinda knew that that was a fantasy but i just upgraded my tv and am stuck with a nice receiver that doesn't have 1.4 hdmi. i was wondering if it was upgradable with a firmware update?
