Not wanting to spend money for no real gain, but I am wondering if the quality / features of blu-ray players have changed over the past 4-5 years? I got a sony unit about 6-7 years ago. it was a dog to work with and doesn't really work now. I replaced it with a Panasonic unit about 4-5 years ago to work with the family room tv and it works much better.
I got myself a 4k TV and find it hard to justify spending the $600+ on the only 4k uhd blu-ray player that is out right now. I am wondering if I really will ever get one as it's not that I go out and buy all that many Blu-rays and they don't rent anymore around me. the library does let you borrow them but I doubt they will ever get the 4K ones and they still buy DVD's.
Needless to say I am down a blu-ray as the sony doesn't work and 2 rooms with different tv's and just one unit. Someone is loosing out.
Would one of the 4k upscaling blu-ray do a better job than what the TV internally is doing? just wondering

Well that was simple enough....
Onkyo offered two options. 1) Send the unit in for repair. 2) A rebate that can only be applied to the purchase of a new unit.
They offered me a $100 rebate, which isn't bad considering I only paid about $200 for the thing bout in 2012. I took option 1 though. They will be sending me a box with pre-paid shipping to ship it back to their repair center. They fix it, send it back to me.
Gotta admit, that's some pretty amazing product support.

Yeah, I forgot about the upgrade option.
It is really painless, and they include everything, and I mean EVERYTHING to box it up...
Box, packing material, plastic bag for around the receiver, twist ties for the power cord, shipping label, and even a roll of packaging tape.
I managed to have my box arrive at 4:30pm one day, and the receiver was all ready to go, so I put it in the box, and ran it to the nearest shipping location 30 minutes later and it went back out the same day that the box arrived.
