TX-NR616 HDMI Black screen

Early after initial release, I remember some people having black screen output via hdmi but thought it was fixed with a previous firmware upgrade. I was never effected before but all of a sudden I have had it happen 3 times in the last week. The first 2 times I restored hdmi video output by doing a system reset (big hassle) but fortunately this evening when it happened again I discovered that unplugging the receiver would also restore video output. Better than a full reset but still an major annoyance! Anyone else having this problem and better yet are than any solution out there?
