Good point Fred, HK is definitely not alone with the problems (though the customer service experience my buddy went through puts them in a class of their own IMHO)

HDMI seems like a very tricky thing to get exactly right in the newer receivers. Like Jason said, the 3808 seems to have it right, but I remember before I got mine that I was expecting more than a few quirks there as well given that almost every other receiver I'd read about had some sort of HDMI or handshake-related problem.
