I have an HDMI-dead NR-906 (not in the list above). I got no help or support from Onkyo at all on it, even though I bought it direct. Lots of info on the ninnernet about what the causes/fixes are, and probably won't bother, as it had/has (shop mule now) a pretty 'user hostile' UI.
IMO, the problem was exacerbated by the amount of heat the thing generates, much of which I attribute to cramming too much stuff in a 75lb? package, so it is my last receiver. (I had it out in the open, sitting on pucks, but didn't get around to adding temp controlled fans until it was too late.)
With separates you at least have a chance at managing heat better.
And, yes, wish I'd purchased the Integra pre/pro Heather mentions.
FWIW (subjective), the Emotiva UMC-200 I replaced it with sounds noticeably better IMO. (I use/d the same Bryston amp for main speakers with both).
Good luck!!
