I had that model for less than one day. I don't know if it was defective or not, but it had major issues with video switching. When I watched cable TV it always hic-uped (SP??) with the signal. Very annoying!! And, I wasn't crazy about the sound compared to my Pioneer receiver. I have since found a Marantz sr6001 that I am enjoying as I type. I'd would just keep trying...........
