I just sold one of my repaired 818 units. I'm using the other in my Computer Room HT. I'm thinking of buying a Samsung F8500 for my Bedroom HT and then matching the Panny GT it's replacing with my remaining 818 in my Computer Room HT.
To my mind it's a great bit of customer service. You fellas are getting a clean, rebuilt/tested chassis housed inside your outer shell.Robert Crawford said:I have no complaints as my unit is functioning perfectly.
So, you're happy?schan1269 said:Currently swapped the 807(most shocked it is fixed...later here I'll explain) in for a Philips BTM2180 that is used for audio from an iMac(the speakers aren't bad...cheap yes, but not bad).Producing great sound on pure. Comes back with a "reset to factory" piece of paper...but it was on All Channel Stereo. Switched to Pure Audio.When you get the box, the instructional paper says "AVR needs to be in warrantable condition". Hhhmmm.I figured I was going to get a note saying they couldn't fix it cause I opened it...least of all fired a heat gun on it at least 100 times.But...fixed.
Beyond happy.Haven't even tried the 707 yet. I have to find the 707 remote(pretty sure I know where it is) as I "was" going to use it with the 807. But...the 707 remote won't do the setup on the 807. And (since I use all the HDMI) the "AUX input" button on the 707 remote wouldn't select it(aux is on the front of the 707, rear on the 807...).Robert Crawford said:So, you're happy?
Wish they had done this 2 years ago.Robert Crawford said:Onkyo is offering to repair receivers with HDMI issues such as no audio on receivers made between 2009-2012. I'm sending them two receivers I purchased in 2012.

You can't just put a "newer board" in. The X05 and X06(which count the models with 75/76) haven't been known to fail. Last I checked, the 875 still commands a good chunk of change on the used market.andySu said:I not as much noticed a HDMI issue. I have TH SR-875 that is 2007 model so I guess it can't qualify? So what is the repair Onkyo is offering free boards that we can fit that replaces the older boards as that would suffice.
Well nice to know. Only snag was the display I fixed on Christmas day that was faulty resistor R9310 on the power supply for the display that I was able to de-solder and fit a new same resistor of same value in place and display was functional again.schan1269 said:You can't just put a "newer board" in.The X05 and X06(which count the models with 75/76) haven't been known to fail.

Define "cheaply"...That is a 7(going on 8) year old avr that still sells, here in the US, for $300-$500. And many would be better served with one of those...than a new $400 AVR (if, 3d is off the table).andySu said:Well nice to know.

I not noticed it now for many weeks.The TH SR-875 is mainly used as AVP.I still see plenty of these selling cheaply.
