Problem still exists so this unit is going back. Shame on me for not going with my usual Marantz or Denon.

My Onkyo TX-NR7100 is an excellent receiver, unfortunately there is a bug in the current NR7100/RZ50 firmware.

Helluva receiver...I have a 5.2.4 dolby atmos setup and it powers every speaker effortlessly.

People on this sub convince me to buy it for 699 and I'm glad they did. It's incredible.

The 7100 may not be the sexiest AVR on the block, but it works.
