Onkyo Receiver Reviews

"A group of four budget to mid-range receivers is being launched this side of the summer, with a few high-end models due out later in the year...The black finish and boxy shape are par for the course, but Onkyo has made some practical improvements to the front panel arrangement of last year's TX-SR607, making it a lot clearer and easier to use if you don't have the remote to hand...Around the back the SR607 is teeming with connections, and it's particularly generous when it comes to HDMI ports..." read more »

"Select the right smartphone for your lifestyle...The Onkyo HT-RC160 Home Theater Receiver offers lots of audio and video features, as well as good audio performance, in an affordable package...For example, the user can be watching a Blu-ray Disc or DVD movie with surround sound in the main room, while someone else can listen to a CD player in another, at the same time..." read more »

"Have I got good news for you, my friends...The TX-SR707 and TX-NR807 are here to update the series...yes, the TX-NR807 sports network streaming (including Pandora, Rhapsody, DLNA and Windows 7) to the 135-watt / channel output...That's why we thought it would be a good idea to create an email address for you to help us a little in finding gadgets we missed..." read more »

"Great sound; THX Loudness Plus; five HDMI inputs; phono input; Ethernet port; Audyssey MultiEQ calibration system...No multi-channel analog inputs; no digital audio outputs; only one HDMI output...No matter how good a receiver’s remote control might be (the HT-RC180’s is good, but not outstanding), there will always be times when you walk up to the receiver and change settings using its front-panel control...The HT-RC180 falters badly on this point...Our entertainment..." read more »

"The Onkyo TX-8255’s receiver focuses on two channel audio...The Onkyo TX-8255 uses a power output of 50w /ch and a dynamic power of 105 w/ch...The Onkyo TX-8255 is compatible t DS-A1 and also allows connection to a compatible Ipod.The dimensions of the Onkyo TX-8255 is 17 1/8" x 5 7/8" x 13 3/8" (435 x 149 x 340mm) and weighs 16.5lbs or 7.5kg..." read more »

"But Onkyo's ability to deliver this sort of amazing sound quality at the lower end of the price scale left us tingling with excitement at the prospect of what its high-end models are capable of - and now we've got the chance to find out with the TX-NR906...Most companies would stop there, but not Onkyo - the TX-NR906 is also the world's first AV receiver to feature video calibration facilities courtesy of the Imaging Science Foundation, which allow you to tweak the brightness, contrast, hue, saturation and gamma levels on each video input...But audio is the TX-NR906's raison d'être, and on that score it leaves no stone unturned..." read more »

"On the other hand, six HDMI inputs--more than any other receiver at this price range--seems much more important to us now that almost every video component uses the connection...Tell us what you like about this product...Tell us what you don't like about this product..." read more »

"RECOMMEND TX8555 AS BEST BUY IN PRICE RANGE FOR THOSE SEEKING STEREO RECEIVER WITH PHONO INPUTS...I have a perfectably good equalizer, but there is no way to connect it to the ONKYO...At least I won't have to worry about heat buildup! Overall, I am happy with this receiver..." read more »

"The TX-NR3007 replaces a Yamaha RX-V2600 in our home theatre...I was already setup for a 9.x configuration so the Onkyo was just perfect with regards to channels..." read more »
