tx-sr606 picture and sound delay

My problem is that when I turn on my onkyo tx-sr606 and panasonic plasma there is no sound or picture for a long period of time. I wait and wait nothing happens I eventually turn the tv back off and then on and only then do I start to get sound and then a picture. I am not sure if the problem is the cable box, reciever, or tv does anyone have any experience with this?

The problem is the receiver not decoding the HDMI handshake. It is a known issue with the ONKYO receivers. They are all defective.
