For possible filing under "unconfirmed or equipment-specific" glitches:

For DVE: HD Basics (Blu-ray):
With my pairing of the Panasonic BD-30 (firmware 1.6) and the Onkyo TX-SR 805 ("early-batch" model, unsure of firmware rev) using an HDMI path, there is often considerable difficulty and delay locking on to the disc's default Dolby True-HD soundtrack. This varies in frequency (sometimes with every chapter skip or return to play from pause, sometimes not) and duration (sometimes an acceptable and expected 2-5 second lag, sometimes in the neighborhood of 15-20 seconds, sometimes with no lock-on at all), and can sometimes (but not always) corrected by a quick "pause-play" combination.

As I have not yet seen this glitch reported in any reviews or end-user reports, I can only presume that this is a) equipment- and/or b) firmware-specific (likely on the 805's end of things, for which I've seen no official firmware upgrade as yet through Onkyo's website). Still, worth noting...

PS: I can confirm on my setup that the AVS laundry-list of Unbreakable pops, distortions, and general nastiness is point-by-point accurate; perhaps an update to the main entry (beyond the two instances noted) is in order to note the severity of the issue?
