I use a Onkyo TX-SR805. I haven't had any major problems with it. It<br>
does mute for 1-2 sec when changing from ProLogic to DolbyDigital or any<br>
similar change, but I've gotten used to this. There is new firmware on<br>
the way that should fix this and tighten up some lip sync issues.<br>
<br>
But beyond those two small items I have high praise for this unit. When<br>
I purchased it early this year I boycotted Denon because of the piece of<br>
!@#$% AVR-3300 that I was replacing.<br>
