Onkyo - TX-NR6100 7.2 Channel THX Certified Network A/V Receiver - Black

I purchased the Onkyo TX-NR6100 to replace an older analog Onkyo home theater I had purchased several years ago. I researched online and found that this model checked most of the boxes for me (at least 100W/channel, WIFI connectivity, multiple inputs, 2nd zone, etc.). Once I solved a connectivity issue with my TV (more on that below), the setup was fairly easy to navigate through. I was disappointed that it does not connect to SiriusXM directly but found that linking it to my iPhone allowed me to play from a variety of sources over WIFI. The iPhone app is easy to use and very convenient when using the 2nd zone (in another room) and allows you to select different sources, control the volume, etc. Since it operates over WIFI, I assume you can place the receiver behind a cabinet door and control it with your phone. Biggest issue was initial connectivity to my Vizio TV. I purchased this product initially elsewhere but returned it when I could not get the setup screen to display on my TV. I returned it, thinking the unit was defective, and bought this one from Best Buy. I had the same problem and was going to return it as well but after waiting approximately 30 minutes on the phone with Onkyo Tech Support, I reached a Technician who worked with me and we eventually figured out that the HDMI input had to be set to version 1.4 in order to work with the receiver. Once I did that, setup was fairly straightforward. Overall, very pleased with my purchase. The receiver does not come with a manual - just a setup guide - so you will have to locate the manual online to do anything but the basic setup.

Bought this receiver for my daughter's home. The home has a small living room and this receiver is paired with a set of Klipsch Atmos top firing speakers. As far as loudness it is plenty for this space and sounds very good. I had purchased the speakers before purchasing this receiver. It did not supprort the speaker setup that was needed, it is 7.2.1, and the needed setup was 5.4.1. I wired the the L and R Atmos speakers in series making the load 8-9 ohms, the rest of the speakers are a 4-5 ohm load. The receiver handled this without issue as it is rated 4 to 16 ohm load. Speaker setup was very easy with the included mic. I am not an audiophile. I've heard systems that costs thousands of dollars this is not that, the speaker and receiver combo was bought because of its price and features. The receiver is also connected to two existing Polk outdoor speakers and the sound is good. So far the receiver has been used to playback movies, games, and some bluetooth audio and has not had any issues. Again the volume level is fine for this area and it is more than they will need until the are old like me.

This is my fifth Onkyo receiver, and I’ve never been disappointed. This one is set up in my basement and paired with a 5-speaker Klipsch system, and it absolutely rocks. When I turn it up, the entire house knows it. We love watching movies in the basement—it truly feels and sounds like a movie theater experience right at home.

I needed to upgrade my old receiver and the tech rep. told me this would be a great fit for my home theater set up. It was a very easy to hook up there was no need for any assistance. This receiver is awesome! I learned that Onkyo added some new features and they fixed the chip failure issue from the previous model.

Wow, I have had this receiver now for 90 days and I love it. I started with the TX-NR5100 but it didn't have a few items this one does so I traded up. First off, I use this receiver in a home theater setting. It is the main audio source for my TV, DVD, Streaming, It is on all day everyday so it is being used a lot. Runs a little cooler than other systems I have owned and fits nicely in a cabinet. ( input selections on the remote, BD/DVD, GAME, CABLE, CD, DVD too name a few. All the different sound modes allows you to hone in on what YOU want to hear, I pretty much use Dolby surround 5.1, it is 7.1 capable. With 3 different zones to can have you music anywhere in the house or outside. Handy if you have a pool or something. I'm using a Bose Powered Acoustimass for speakers, however I would like to swap my center for a Klipsch R-52C center speaker. I paid just under $500 at $479 so I am pleased.
