Ok I am returning my Onkyo 706 to Amazon after speaking to Crutchfield customer rep. I told him the situation about component upscaling not working. He told me that it is definitely the receiver that I got from Amazon. I asked him how could 2 receivers go bad. He asked me to try once more, with Crutchfield this time. I have to pay $45 more. But they are not amazon and I can understand. So lets see if I get a receiver with no problems. The only thing I am afraid of is, the millions of connections I have to do again!!
Aside some issues with picture, the sound has started to impress me. I calibrated all the speakers with auto setup and adjusted directions of my surround speakers. The clarity in the music is awesome. The speakers are now showing what they are worth for. The bass is deep, coming out of sub and I have set the level below 50%. You know I am in an apartment. Don't want to distrub anybody.
The other thing I am enjoying is, controlling my music (in iTunes) with my iPhone. The remote app on iphone is great. I can also stream music from any computer in my house with Airport Express with air tunes.
Will update again once I get my new receiver from Crutchfield. Let hope for the best!
