Onkyo - 1190W 7.2-Ch Ultra HD Network A/V Receiver - Black

When I was looking for a receiver I knew I wanted one that supported 4k, HDR, and Atmos. I was VERY pleased with how this Onkyo performed for me. Replacing my old SONY receiver, but keeping the same speakers, I surprisingly heard a difference in quality . The smart features are decent, didn't really use them, but it is nice that it offers both chromecast and apple airplay. There is a sound profile/mode for everyone, this receiver really covers all the basis. This receiver drove my 3 Polk Speakers tremendously and delivered high quality and loud sounds. Movies did feel a bit more immersive. WIth 3 HDR ports and about 6 ports in general. You can be sure you can plug all your entertainment gear into the receiver. NO degradation of quality or sacrifices as this supports the latest HDR standards and 4K. Playing PS4 Pro on this was a dream. Very happy with the overall performance of the receiver and look forward to growing my home theatre with this powering my speakers.

Happy to see the analog phono plug ins for my many vinyl records. iPhone synced immediately for Pandora and my music. However, my iPad still can't communicate, sadly. ARC syncs my directv with receiver for one remote volume control, very convenient.

I just upgraded to a new OLED 4K TV but my old Bose system receiver was fairly old, proprietary and was only capable of pushing 1080p. So it was time for a full upgrade. I went with this receiver because I can use the HDMI ARC port. The have a single connection to the TV and then into the receiver itself. Then everyone of my devices just plugged into the receiver. This makes cable management look nice and clean as well. The receiver automatically switches between inputs depending on which device you turn on which is really convenient, instead of having to grab the remote control and do it manually each time you wanna watch 4K Blu-ray or play video games. You can also connect via Wi-Fi and do software updates, connect your phone via Bluetooth and stream your playlist right to your home theater. You can also give you inputs custom display names as well. The Onkyo is stacked with features and I am happy with the purchase. I am sure I am going to get many years of use out of.

So after owning second hand and hand me downs, I finally decided to let loose of some money and buy a new system. I was originally going to go with Klipsch, but I’m glad I made this choice instead. I enjoy the mids, and highs the speakers produce (The sound fills our space with no problem. We live in a 1400 soft Townhouse). I spent multiple hours with the “burn in”, and there is a great quality of sound that they reproduce. I purchased four of the towers, a couple bookshelves, and center (I already had a nice subwoofer). I married them up with the Onkyo TX-NR656 (7.2 ch) receiver. It pushes all of the speakers with no problems. I like having the Onkyo App on my phone, and being able to turn the system on from our bedroom before I roll out of bed. As of yesterday I finished off our entertainment area with the Samsung UN65MU8000 television. Everything looks and sounds great!! I would definitely purchase again, and recommend to a friend.

The receiver is complex with many functions and options, but is straight forward in its configuration and operation. It produces excellent sound ranges and the video 4K Ultra HD output is exemplary.

I have only had this amp for about a month but in that time i have loved it. There are many features to play with and plenty of power for most speakers. Only con I have for now is that it has a random clicking. This sound does not come through the speakers so it isn't that bad and I will live with it.

Great receiver if you looking for to start or upgrade your current system as I did start with this one. It has more than the desired amount for a seven speaker surround system.

I am less than happy with this purchase. The Net part of the system has been sketchy at best. Spotify does not work 80% of the time. It has difficulty connecting to my media server and also to my remote app. The last firmware update does not allow me to go into the settings so now a little after two year my $400+ receiver s close to useless. It has been a love hate relationship with this unit from purchase and I really wished that I had taken it back after I first purchased it. I kept hoping that the next firmware update wold some some of the reliability issues. Well...I guess that is has because now after 2 years it is going to the electronics recycler and I am looking for yet another receiver hoping that the next one will last more than two years.
