Negative discernible points:
- (This need not correspond to the truth, there are experiences of different users)

Will be hot when the setting is 6 Ohm , and is not in a AV to operate the Rack
power consumption is too high. Even at very low volumes and in 4 ohm mode, you are immediately at 50W consumption.
If HDMI Through is activated to loop through HDMI in standby and wait for TV commands, the device consumes almost 40W. In "real" standby, it actually consumes 0W.
The transformer of the device hums during operation.
Speakers make quiet noise with Audyssey Dynamic EQ.
mixed surround channels when playing sound signal via HDMI as linear PCM (bitstream not possible with PS3 fat for HD audio)
The various sound effects sometimes take a lot of computing time, which leads to higher latency times.
The problem with the reversed surround channels in multi-channel PCM operation. The receiver must be sent to an Onkyo service partner.
The device stinks a lot at the beginning, and the smell only subsides very slowly. The main source of the stench seems to be the transformer poured with resin.
The clicking of the relays in the device eg. switching sources or modes is unnecessarily noisy.
Firmware updates only possible with service partners
The AV receiver cannot output analog video signals via HDMI
does not have 1080p video upscaling
