I bought two pioneer receivers. My first one in January was a VSX-82TSXi. While playing an XBOX 360 through the component connections, horizontal bars and flicker would form on the top of my SAMSUNG LN-S4695 46 Inch Widescreen LCD TV and work its way down 1/4 of the screen, then back up, continuously. And my Samsung DVD HD960 player would black out for a split second every 10 min, both audio and video. When I called Pioneer support they said it was most likely a bad video processor, so I returned it. They were out of stock so I waited 5 weeks, still not in so I upgraded to a VSX-84TXSi which was in stock. Just finish setup, high-end cables of course, and the exact same problems on this receiver, what are the odds? So I called Magnolia, the store I got it from, I explained that this only happens when the receiver is in the loop, and everything is fine when I plug directly into the TV, they said they haven't heard of this problem and they sell alot of these. They also suggested asking Pioneer support if there was a firmware upgrade, I will do this on Monday. Is anyone else having these problems?
