i purchased this receiver an tx nr-3008 from crutchfield as a very good price. as i already had 3 onkyo av receivers and had no problems from any of them i when ahead and bought this model.

this was around january of 2010, i don't recall the exact date but after two years, after the warranty ran out, the unit started to hum. at high volume you barely noticed it but at lower volumes it was awful especially from the subwoofer. i tried all the usual supposed fixes and finally resulted to onkyo's fix. this was in january of this year.

the unit was shipped, at onkyo expense, to a place in chicago. they had it for a day. when i got it back it still hummed. this unit sat in the main listening area in the living room and replaced a tx-nr808,which never hummed.

all the equipment with that unit was also with the 3008 so no outside interference. i switch to a tx-nr929 and have had no problems with it. i also switch the 808 to a tx-nr828 for my master bedroom. i have had the other onkyo receivers well over 8 years and no issues.

i heard onkyo was having issues with their hdmi boards.

the unit did get hot. as you can see i am pretty loyal to the onkyo brand so i fail to see why a $2,000 a/v receiver only lasted 2 years.

Reason of review: Bad quality.

Onkyo USA Pros: All onkyo equipment except this unit has been perfect.

Onkyo USA Cons: Customer service.

Location: Anchorage, Alaska
