I've never used an 885 but my 9.9 has never exhibited any video or audio acquisition troubles at all. I have my motorola set top box connected through a 50 foot HDMI cable to my 9.9, and another 50 foot hdmi cable going from the output of my 9.9 to the samsung 61 inch dlp led TV. The combination works great for video and audio.
That's good to hear, as both have been significant issues with the 885 (which is the same as the 905 receiver and Integra 9.8). Audio acquisition routinely takes a couple of seconds, on par with what my Model 950 did back in 2002 and much worse than the ~0.5 seconds my 990 could do. Video takes a similar amount of time whenever the input signal changes.

The 990 does have some pro logic II adjustments that are lacking in the 9.9....the panorama, center width and dimension. I have found them to be very helpful in getting the sound just as a like it when listening to music with PL II-music decoding.
Curious... Now I need to see what options the 885 has for PLII adjustment...
