Customer Ratings & Reviews

Comingfrom a yamaha aventage line 4K receiver. This receiver does not have HDMI switching or reliability issues. Most importantly, the room correction software is Dirac Live which alllows incredible amounts of tweaking and provides a sigjficant boost to sound quality. The latter cannot be overstated. The software will show you rook anomalies, and all the crazy fluctations at what frequencies. Then, it will flatten them so you get the flattest response (ideal) possible. I couldnt believe the difference. Even a non audiophile like my spouse could hear it. The details it brought out are crystal clear, and I feel like I brought a Dolby Cinema like experience to my home. Dont overthink it, there is no big competition for Dirac calibration at this time. The provided Mic works with it. I was considering new speakers for my midrange klipsch sytem, but this was the right choice. Night and day.

Perfect for our new 5.1 home theater. Using with Ascend Acoustics and RSL 10s Speedwoofer. Dirac Live is awesome. We set up one slot for when the theater is used for movies and one for when it is used for games since the gamer sits much closer. It makes a big difference in our room where the speaker placement is not great. Sound has been very clean and plenty loud in a roughly 12x18 loft space.

This is my first sound receiver...i was hesitant between all of the different options available in the market today....however, I went for this receiver rz30 particularly for its sound quality, Dirac Live room correction, and robust feature set, including Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and 8K/60Hz support. I realky like and appreciate its ability to handle various speaker configurations and its user-friendly setup process....i would say that the remote control feels old...and the app is meh....and for a novice such as me...it was complicated to set up and comprehend the multiple options...overall i super content with the purchase....

This is my first Onkyo receiver. So far, its been great! I have no complaints. Would buy again.

Found this receiver on sale for $799 through he Bast Buy Marketplace. My old receiver (15+ years old) was starting to act up. I'm a fan of Onkyo, so this was replacing my Onkyo TX-SR804 that served me well. Setup was simple (although the Dirac speaker setup was a little finicky and took a few tries) and I was up and running in no time. The eArc feature is great as it allows the TV and Receiver to communicate through just one HDMI cable. My wife is happy as we can now control almost everything with just the TV remote. This is my Living Room theatre and is powerful enough. My Theatre room uses the RZ50, which is more powerful. Since they are very similar in features the smaller amplifier was perfect for my living room. Phono input is a nice thing to have as well as a few other analog connections which makes it nice as I still have my VCR and Laserdisc player hooked up in the living room. Having the multiple zone feature was a must for me as I also have this receive power some back porch speakers and having the Zone 2 HDMI out is nice because as I can run any of my components and show them on the TV on the back porch as well. Overall just a really good receiver, especially for the price I got on BestBuy.com.

I upgraded from an older Onkyo TX-NR545 to the Onkyo TX-RZ30, and the difference is immediately noticeable. The build quality is excellent, setup was straightforward, and the receiver had no trouble powering my Klipsch 5.1.2 speaker system. The HDMI connectivity worked flawlessly with my Samsung LSP7T projector and Fire TV Stick 4K Max. Dolby Atmos, surround sound, and bass management are all significantly improved compared to my previous receiver. The soundstage feels wider, dialogue is clearer, and the overall audio presentation is more refined and immersive. One of the biggest advantages is the inclusion of Dirac Live room correction, which gives enthusiasts a powerful way to optimize performance for their room. Even before completing the full Dirac calibration, the receiver demonstrated excellent detail, separation, and dynamic range. The receiver is feature-packed with modern HDMI support, 8K compatibility, streaming options, and plenty of power for a dedicated home theater setup. If you’re looking for a premium AVR that delivers outstanding movie and music performance, the TX-RZ30 is an easy recommendation.

I wanted to take a moment to share how impressed I am with the Onkyo TX-RZ30 9.2-Channel AV Receiver. From the moment I set it up, it was clear that this receiver delivers exceptional performance. The sound quality is outstanding—powerful, clean, and richly detailed across the entire spectrum. Movies feel truly immersive with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, and the THX certification gives me confidence that I’m getting theater-grade performance at home. One of the biggest highlights for me has been the built-in Dirac Live room correction. After calibration, the audio in my room sounded dramatically more balanced and precise, elevating both music and home theater experiences. The RZ30’s video and gaming features are equally impressive; with HDMI 2.1 support and compatibility with 8K, 4K/120Hz, and all the latest gaming technologies, it handles everything I throw at it without a hitch. I also appreciate the wide range of streaming options and easy connectivity, from Bluetooth and AirPlay 2 to Chromecast and multi-room support. The build quality feels premium, and the interface, while feature-rich, is easy enough to navigate after a bit of exploration. Overall, this receiver has exceeded my expectations in virtually every way. I couldn’t be happier with the performance and value it offers.

I use this with a PC and a 5.1.4 Atmos setup and a 4k Blu-ray player. For context. This is my 2nd Onkyo receiver following an old TXNR636. Setup was easy and simple. I wish bass control was just included. That’s lame. I also struggled with the unit not playing audio but turning on when I turned on my 77” LG C4. After messing with settings on the receiver I think I’ve solved it by turning off eco mode on the CEC/ARC setting. I’ll update my review of the issue persists. I also find it a bit annoying that the HDMI ports are not a the full 48gbps of HDMI 2.1, they only handle 40gbps. Which means no 4k 120hz + HDR + no chroma subsampling. Why cut that corner? Just go truly full bandwidth. “Sighs and shakes head”

Pro: Get Dirac full room correction … that’s a 350 value if you buy it yourself. Cons: To run Dirac proper you need to buy a calibration mic like the umik-1 100 bucks on amazon. 80 from website. After the Dirac room correction ran. The sound for movies was off. In particular the background noises was missing a lot of the bass. That was Dirac live. It sounded better when running with Dirac bass management. My best result was to apply 4DB Harman curve to the calibration. The next con was if the unit was off for a period of time. The unit couldn’t be powered on from the Apple TV remote. Even though the unit was powering on my projector that was hooked to the unit. This caused me to either turn on the unit manually or pull out another remote. I ended up returning the unit for those two reasons. My friend has the rz-50 which he loves and didn’t have these issues. I ended up going with the denon x3800h. Which sounds great after the room calibration. I got the unit for about the same price as they discounted both these units for Christmas.

Bought the TX-RZ30 to replace my trusty 18 year old Onkyo TX-SR805. Great upgrade to properly support my HDMI 2.1 PS5 Pro. Dirac Live inclusion is an excellent addition and worked perfectly with the included mic. Love the fact that they have a mode specifically for Klipsch Reference speakers, which I have. I am using the system in a 5.1 configuration with bi-wired front speakers and everything is working and sounding great. I highly recommend using the PC client for Dirac Live as it is much easier to use with a bigger screen than you would get with a cellphone. I have found this to be a great all around receiver, nice work Onkyo!

Great sound, easy setup, comes with Dirac live pre-installed. I’m very happy with this receiver so far.

Great sound quality for the cost. Set up was a breeze

It has great power and sounds great. I have had a few issues with connections when going back to TV after playing Bluetooth but I very well could be user error.

So I'm watching television, and all of a sudden someone comes running up behind me, and I ..... no, wait, that's just the best sound system I've had in my TV room yet. Dirac Live let me create the best acoustics I've ever had in my little downstairs 13x15 foot space. I can't go full Atmos, but the RZ30 put me as close as I can be. Add in an LG OLED G-series and the capability to stream at the highest current speed...I've never had it this good to take a break and wind down. What a terrific sound system the RZ30 is.

I am upgrading from a TX-NR696 that has been an amazing unit but I wanted to have Dirac, dual independent sub outputs and full pre-out's for external amplification. I'm using an Emotiva BasX A3 to power my LCR, the internal amp is driving my surrounds and a 1k watt amp is powering a 15" sub. I use a MiniDSP UMIK-1 with a laptop to run Dirac room calibration and the results are pretty amazing, a far cry better than the built in room correction in the 696. The sub blends perfectly with the towers, there are no peaks or nulls in the response and everything is time aligned very well. If you're going to spend the money on the receiver, definitely take the time to run Dirac, you will be pleased. With full sized towers and a dual 6.5" center channel the sounds stage is huge, very dynamic and well balanced. Voices are clear, even during loud scenes that fill the room with explosive sound! If you don't plan on going over 9.2 there really isn't a need for more receiver than this, it is a beast and has all the latest features, 8k support and HDMI 2.1. This is a lot of receiver for the money, you wont find anything in it's price range that gives you all the features this does along with Dirac, to deliver a truly impressive home theater experience!

Upgraded from Onkyo tx-nr646, mainly for the extra channels of this receiver for while house audio It works great however the sound quality improvement it was really surprised me. With the same speakers the difference is incredible. Would definitely but again. It was advertised that it works with Alexa, IT DOES NOT, I verified this with Onkyo directly. So if that is important for you, didn't but RZ-30. This is the only reason I gave 4 instead of 5 stars.

I’ve had Onkyos going back to the late 90’s, and they just flat out perform! This receiver, with its features and ease of use, is great. I especially like the included Dirac. Well, that was the main reason to. Up it, I guess. I currently have a TX-NR787 and the power rating is equal to this RZ, so power wise it’s a lateral move. It’s all that I need for my listening room. The better features are what convinced me to upgrade. I briefly had a rz50, and Dirac setup seemed a little buggy, but I guess they’ve fixed the bugs, because this set up nicely and my speakers really sound more alive than my older Onkyo 787. I also love the fact that I’m getting 2024 technology with improved internals! Having pre outs is nice and I may play around with adding an amp for the fronts, but as of now, it’s sounds great with the 5.4.2 configuration in my listening area, and the Atmos sounds great with 4k disk movies that I’ve watched. What a great receiver!!

The new Onkyo TX-RZ30 checks all the boxes for a solid AVR. Of particular importance are full set of pre outputs, independent dual subwoofer outputs, and DIRAC room correction software. The price is competitive with other AVR’s in its class. Time will tell if Onkyo has ironed out the issues they’ve had with their AVR’s in the past.

If you can handle a mini-DSP UMIK and have a computer to take the measurements and fit Dirac filters for your room, you will have made > $5k of high-end receiver alternatives obsolete. Make sure you have adequate amplification. I'm using an external amp that I already had for my mains+center (3 channels), so the Onkyo amp only handles surround channels. I've been using room correction for more than 10 years in multiple different spaces; fixing your room will make the sound of this receiver practically indistinguishable from models 5 times or more expensive.

Very satisfied. I replaced a lower end Onkyo 11 yr old TX-4404 which worked well. This is so much different sounding , I can hear every instrument, and when doors are closing on a movie I find myself turning my head toward the sound. Make sure you have good wifi for the DIRAC and it works well. It is pricey for most, but worth it if you want the better quality
