Hah so the next night after I setup the replacement AV, it wanted me to do the first time setup a second time, which is a little weird. When I went to run the EARC connection setting part of it, the new AV just stopped connecting to the TV and wont run the initial setup for it anymore. Anytime I try to setup the AV, it wont connect via EARC. Tried to reset it, but its no longer working. Glad I didn't send back the original unit I had yet as that one is working just fine. Haven't tried to limit the frequency on the speakers yet though.
Buyer beware on the TX-NR6050 Onkyo.
This is certainly unfortunate.
Run it through warranty if possible. Return if you can.
Sell if it gets fixed.
Buy something else.
Knowing that Onkyo was 'falling behind' a few others on features and quality (small items but significant and enough to note), is one of the reasons i went with a Denon this time.
