Gibby's has the Onkyo TX-RZ820 B-stock @ $549Cad right now if anyone's interested. Says they have stock.

Good one! Unreal. With pre-outs. In a room under 2500 cu. ft., that's really all one needs.

It's really too bad that owners of these Onks continue to complain about problems that are related to the HDMI board.

I don't know if the complaints presently relate specificallly to the old HDMI issue, but i am wary of the B stock units even though they should be certified as working and come with the same warranty.
Are you really just inheriting someone else's problem?
Company takes back faulty unit. Attempts a fix of the most obvious fault. How much QAQC happens before it goes back out to sale as B stock? Was the problem they fixed not all of the problem? Caused by something else that wasn't replaced in the unit?
Here is a recent review from Amazon on this specific Onk.
.0 out of 5 stars Sounded AMAZING but Broken in Less than 2 Months
September 29, 2019
Style Name: TX-RZ830Verified Purchase
When we first received the Onkyo RZ830, it was working perfectly. Setup was a breeze and the sound was a HUGE upgrade from our aging Harman Kardon. However, little things began to act up - the on screen menu began to lag a lot, not by a second or two, but you had to wait more than 30 seconds for any button press to register. Then the wifi connection became more and more spotty, until it never worked again.
Will be contacting Gibby's for issue resolution.

Well it looks like I need to return this unit. Tried to use it today and i have no power to it. Not sure what else I could do, it played great when I first got it.
It didn't go into protect mode or nothing, just freakin dead.

Yep, looks like I'll be returning it. Seeing that I used it for a couple hours on Thursday without a hitch and all speakers sounded great I can't see it being a speaker problem, right ? It would have went into protect mode or so I would have thought.

That's what I thought. Disappointing but I'm sure they will make it right. Gonna try for a refund and buy on Amazon. Fingers crossed
