Checked the Onkyo web site. Entered my model and serial number and mine is not on the list of effected AVR's. Problem started about 3 months ago. Every once and a while you would turn it on and there would be no audio. After a couple of re-powers it would come on. At that time it was not connected to my LAN via ethernet so I did not know that was also problematic. So I connected it and found that when I had audio I also had LAN connection. When I had no audio I also had no LAN. Now the problem has gotten worse to the point that I now can not get audio no mater how many times I re-power and can no longer see the AVR on my network. Any ideas?

Well, now you are delving into complex territory, lol. It is probably good that it does not work at all now. You don't have to wait for it to act up.
I have looked over the schematics for various systems in this unit. If it was me, I would test the USB ports next to see if I could find a common relationship to narrow down the root problem.

Complained about it on Onkyo's own forum. A rep stepped right up and gave me a RA#, sent a box with return shipping and said they would cover it at no charge including shipping. I shipped it yesterday.

Well that is good news. Let us know the outcome.

I'm guessing that it is the HDMI board.

As expected, it was the HDMI board and that was repaired for free. However, during testing the receiver still did not pass QC. I was contacted and told that one of the amps channels (one I don't even use) had no output and was traced to the main board. That was not covered by this recall/free repair. They charged me $75.00 for the replacement board. The additional repair was my choice. It was shipped back to me and I will reinstall it tomorrow.
