Default Re: Anyone own Onkyo home theater receivers?

I have had the 707 for about 3 years and have never had an issue. I also have a good friend that has had 2 of them over the past 6 years and never had any issues. He upgraded after about 3 years of owning the first one to a better model.

When we did our research on them we noticed that they had this issue. After I set mine up I believe that it is a problem with the weight of the HDMI cable putting pressure on the connection and causing it to fail. I installed a small plastic clip that allows you to put a pig tail in the HDMI cable and this has seemed to alleviate the issue for me.

The reason I believe it is from the presser is I had an old laptop that had a similar issue but with the charging port were the cable stuck out to far and put a lot of downward presser on the connection at the motherboard, I had to have the motherboard replaced twice and finally gave up and bought a new computer on the third time.

Hope this helps and that the new receiver is issue free for you.
