So I went with the Onkyo TX-SR805S...blind

I have to agree...all of the research that I've done (post purchase, unfortunately) indicates that it must be something amiss with Onkyo.

Right now I'm just wondering if and when I'll encounter the same issues. I've been playing the unit almost non-stop since I received it... so far, no problems. I'm trying to think of what else to throw at the thing, but maybe I should just count my blessings and leave well enough alone.

I've decided to hold off on getting the Panasonic BD30, as apparently the BD50 will be out in May. I can wait a month. Except for the incredibly long loading time, I can get by with the Samsung BD. Or just watch standard DVD's.

I've heard that most people who have the switching pop, have it out of the box. Sounds like you got a good one. Congrats. It should work fine for many years.

People where confused about the popping at first and thought the "click" you hear from the unit when it switches sources was the popping sound. All my units do this and we know that it's normal.

The sound that I and many others are refering to is a thud type sound that comes out of your speakers.

BJazz, if you haven't had any issues yet, odds are you came across a "good" unit. You lucky SOB, I hate you

BTW, the 805 is now on sale at CC for $699 plus 10% off. Maybe you can get a price match.

Luck of the Irish, good looking out! I'll see if CC will offer some sort of price adjustment.
