Onkyo - TX 9.2-Ch. Hi-Res 4K HDR Compatible A/V Home Theater Receiver - Black

I purchased this unit after first having the Denon AVR1295W. I changed the Denon out for this unit due to this one having more power. Let me just say that the difference was immediate with the same speakers and all. It has nice clean highs/lows and plenty of power to spare on my 8ohms speakers. The setup was very simple going through the menu and straightforward and for all the features you get for the money, this unit has a fantastic price. You're getting a 9.2 receiver and no other receiver with this many channels is available for this price. It passes 4k HDR/Dolby Vision content without any hiccups and supports Dolby Atmos, DTS X and all the major formats. If there were a negative I have for this unit, then it would be the fact that you have to press the Info button on the remote to see what digital audio format is coming into the receiver. Otherwise, it only shows the source on the display. This may not be a big deal for some but I like for the format of the audio from the source to show instead of the source and I found no way to change this in the settings. This is my only negative and for most, I'm sure this just comes down to a personal preference. The bottom line is this, you're getting a nice all around receiver for the money with all the latest audio formats supported, 4k HDR/Dolby Vision passthrough and 9.2 channels. (Subwoofer preout is the same signal split between two outputs if you want to do 9.2) I haven't seen these amount of features for the price.

Purchased this model to replace my 4-year-old Sony STR-DN1040. That was a great receiver, but couldn't do Dolby Atmos, and also could not pass through HDCP 2.2 4K content, so I got this bad boy as preparation for getting a 4K TV in the near future. Because I still only have it hooked up to a 1080p set, I can't comment on it's 4K performance, but I expect it would be fine based on other reviews I have read. I have the receiver set up in a 7.1 + 2 configuration, with the +2 being the Zone 3 speakers, which I wanted because my basement is split into 2 areas (entertainment room and game room) and I wanted to be able to turn on and off the speakers to the game room. This configuration works fine, but the effort to activate Zone 3 requires one of two things: 1) Go up to the receiver and press the Zone 3 button to turn them on, and then make sure the source is selected, or 2) Fiddle with the remote, which doesn't have enough buttons, to get the remote to control Zone 3 and not the primary Main zone. To control either Zone 2 or 3 with the remote, you have to hold down one button while also pressing the Zone button of your choice. To switch back, you have to go through a similar procedure. Couldn't Onkyo just have added a few more buttons to the remote? Also, because of the wonky remote, it is difficult with program any of that functionality into a universal remote like Harmony without some serious programming. Otherwise, I like everything else about the receiver so far.

I purchased this receiver back in July, and had issues right out of the box. ARC didn't work that great with my LG OLED. Half the time it wouldn't detect the input or there wouldn't be any sound. I tried it with my older Samsung 8500 in order to rule out the LG being the issue and I had the same problem. I battled these issues off and on and nothing worked. I bought all new HDMI cables and this didn't work. I tried running everything off of my Nvidia box and this also didn't work. The issues are numerous with this receiver. I may come back and try to update this later, but now I'm a little to annoyed. Currently it has no sound out of any of the hdmi ports, but the Bluetooth is working. Unfortunately for me I am stuck with it and have to reach out to the manufacturer as I am a month past the allowed return date.

I have an existing 7.1 theater setup. In order to add Atmos support, I will need minimum of 9.1 Atmos receivers. Majority of such receivers are well into > $1000 range. This receiver is half the price and still offers many of the same features. The setup and menu systems are simple and easy to use. I also like the fact that there is no video upscaling or processing, a feature I often need to disable in my previous receivers. I setup mine as 7.1.2 and both Atmos and DTS:X suounds fantastic. I had some trouble playing Google Cast audio on zone 2 automatically while leaving main zone playing other audio sources. But I don't use cast feature much. You can't go wrong with this receiver for the money.

This Onkyo TX NR787 was an open box deal. Normally retailing for @$649- I got it for $503+tax. So I was able to purchase this 9.2 channel THX certified surround theater Dolby rated receiver for the price of a top of the line 7.2 system but with two more channels of 100w@8ohms so this system really has 900w@8ohms and then two preamp subwoofer outs for subs-also at 8 ohms but most likely not 100w but rather modulated by the volume controller on the Onyo unit so as to prevent the sub(s) from out competing the mains.. Great sound in all of its modes. I love all the extra channels beacause I'm not using it for home theater but to run and feed many components of a massive 40,000watt pa system. And it's well connected with every media stream format or inputs you can conceive. Great Unit! 6 out of 5 stars ******!

Unboxed hooked all speakers and components up before turning on power that takes a lot of time disconnecting old one re connecting everything. plugged in new one and nothing just green standby light disconnected everything changed outlets tried powering just unit itself on same thing. So now I have to drive to Best buy an hour each way to return this pos. I have never had an onkyo receiver I loved my Denon but no Atmos. Onkyo not impressed going to exchange it for a new one but if its a POS too I will never buy an Onkyo product again at any price. I have never bought a 650 dollar item dead out of the box. If your brave enough to buy this receiver hook it up immediately don't wait and lose your return window don't buy from some 3rd party with horse crap return policies.

I got speakers throughout the house. I talked to people at Best buy and they suggested based on the number of speakers and zones that i should go with Onkyo 9.2 instead of the 7 or the 5. The receiver is easy to deal with. Has an app for your phone as well and you can control the zones with your phone. So i am able to turn on the speakers from my bedroom while the receiver is in the living room. The only down side is that this receiver does not work multi room with Comcast. Only when the line is directly attached to it, that zone will show the tv. Other rooms can only be used as Bluetooth, air play, chromcast and so on. that's the only negative thing about this receiver.

Great price point for 9.2 and all of the features that it has with it. The only reason it doesn't have 5 stars and I'm sure that this will be fixed on a future firmware update by either Apple or Onkyo is that it doesn't play Dolby Vision or Atmos through Apple 4K boxes right now. It did right before a firmware update in March and since that a fix hasn't come. Atmos and Vision work directly from your TV or XBOX or any other sources so it's just an issue right now between Apple and Onkyo which I'm sure will be fixed soon enough. Besides that it is brilliant.
