That or Onkyo's QC is not what it used to be ... guess we can take our pick based on the thin data we have ...

- Marketing dictating a price at which engineering needs sacrifice quality.
- engineering did a shit design job
- Manufacturing is cutting corners (Internal or Contract manufactures need to overseen)
- which brings us back to QC not flagging that the units are not working coming off the line ...

Or you are very very unlucky ... smile
