This problem is in addition to the receiver going into protection mode every other time it's powered off. And then even then it won't want to turn on many times. It's been a headache.

Some receivers will upscale current content also.
I kinda see your point since current displays can't even take full advantage of 4K/HDR!
I bought the Sony on the reviews, particularly Sony's 360 feature. Got it set up and out of the box I was really unhappy with the sound for music (movies were great). So ran the sound correction and it got better, but it was real hit and miss. The sound to me was very thin and tinny on some tracks and there was seemingly reason why genre or format wise.
I kept trying and then the NR7100 went on sale and thought I'd give it a try. Right out of the box the Onkyo was more pleasing to my ears. The bass was a little bit boomy, but after running Dirac it was a lot better.
I will say the Sony UI is better and Sony's HDMI support is better. I'm still struggling to get the Onkyo/AppleTV/TV working well (I know it can work since my older Onkyo was fine) and the Onkyo does lose HDMI signal when switching between things like the Paramount+ menu and the content. I have a feeling this Onkyo is more sensitive to lower spec cables. (FWIW I actually bought two and both exhibited the same behavior)

I had a Sony a long time ago (when Dolby Digital first came out) and liked it.
