Man I heard the NY one was fast(2-3 weeks). Sorry it's dragging out, but at least you didn't have to pay 200 and up for repair. Nothing wrong with switching off, do it!:)

Hey ya'll, I finally set up the Yamaha RX-A1020 while waiting on the return of my Onkyo 89 from the repair center. The first thing I notice was the difference in weight, and I did not have to get my grandson to help the old man slide the Yamaha on the shelf. set up was straight forward and I used the manual speaker configuration. It does not seem as intricate or in depth as the Onkyo but was pretty simple to follow. The sound is different, the Yamaha is a little laid back with a hint of brightness and the Onkyo was a bit more bold and up in your face with it's sound. It may mean that I must tweak the Yamaha a little more. I don't want to give up on it yet as I kind of like the sound.

Got my 809 back two days ago. Being on the lazy side means I am in no hurry to drag the Yamaha 1020 out and replace it with the Onkyo 809 to see how it sounds. In a day or so I will put her to the test since the balance of my warranty is running.

Great news.:D Try to keep it at 4ohm and headway space to reduce heat. Let us know how it goes.
