I made the right choice.
....for another fight with the wifey!
The manner in which they handled that problem turned me forever against Onkyo (and FYI, I gave them MANY chances at retaining me as a loyal customer).
They couldn't be bothered to do the right thing. So... they are 'permanently banned' in my house & amongst my small circle of close friends.
BTW, I hope OP doesn't take my comment as me crapping on this thread... I'm just stating my own personal experience/facts & also my associated opinions surrounding those facts.
I don't wish any grief upon Onkyo or their employees. I truly hope that Onkyo has since changed their company culture on how they treat their loyal customers, especially when their is a KNOWN systemic problem affecting MANY of their (often premium-priced) products.
And one last thing... notice I just described their products as 'premium priced'.
This 'prepaid premium' is what ultimately made my decision to basically 'forever ban them' a lot easier.
You often pay a premium for a product not only because of the real (or perceived) quality... but also for the steps the company takes to 'make things better', regardless of the cost (w/in reason, obviously).
Sorry for the long post. And... good luck with your Onkyo product! : )

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank maheeinfy
OK... So the amp section is lacking... What do you think about using the TX-RZ50 as a surround sound preamp/processor? Just add a good multichannel power amp (you chose the number of channels) to the pre-outs...
Here is a video from a renowned AV Professional(AA) who worked directly with Dirac that gives you best/key tips & tricks to optimally use Dirac Live.
It's extremely helpful walking you through how to use Dirac Live optimally/properly & explains common mistakes/confusion issues that often come up!
These applies to any Dirac Live capable receiver.

Longer warranty and heavier amps etc. 3 year Warranty on RZ line.
This is a great deal on what's supposed to be a great receiver.
Do I upgrade? Damn this inflation makes spending difficult.
