guys,
The OSD problem is just a small thing. Anyway, you can always see the settings on its front panel when you make adjustments so no big deal with the OSD. If you're more concerned on this rather than the sound, then by all means get another brand.
According to Hans Tan of Beyond Innovation, they can fix the OSD but the unit should be brought to their shop in Ortigas. I've been in contact before with Roger Ross (Harman/Kardon Prod. manager, asia pacific) and he has sent Hans a solution to the OSD problem.
For me, I'd stick with my Harman AVR4000. If you're only into home theater then any receiver brand would do, but if you're also into audio hifi then I'd suggest you grab a Harman..
BTW, i've demoed an RX-V800 yamaha before but i still bought a Harman. The yammy just didn't sound right on audio (stereo) for me..
Just my 2 cents worth..
