Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is one of the best receivers I have owned. It was very easy to set-up and the sound is great!

Working great. Produces great sound. I did have some trouble but Onkyo tech support was great and helped me get new firmware uploaded to the unit which fixed the problem.

This is my second Onkyo receiver purchased to power Definitive Technology BP10B tower speakers (up to 300 watts per channel). The sound is clear and strong with no distortion over the full range, and plenty of power without being anywhere near the max. Very happy with this, and my Onkyo 6 CD changer.

Replaced one that was 10 years old and was amazed by the difference. Excellent quality and sound.

For the price, I'm using all the features like AirPlay and Google Cast plus bi-amping the speakers makes the front 2 speakers sounds great

Paid $249 online (on sale). The system can supply 2 separate audio sources to two different locations at the same time (ex.TV home theater inside and FM Radio to speakers outside). Plenty of power for the Bose surround sound and the outdoor speakers. Was much easier to set up compared to my old Sony receiver. I have a game console and dvd player all routed into the the receiver then out to the TV and surround sound. The only downside is the receiver must be on to use the game console.

Wanted it for Xbox one X but doesn’t do the “right” HDR. Still transfers 4k imagery beautifully, Dolby Atmos is great, but wanted a hdr receiver and this is not it.

I purchased this Onkyo TX NR656 receiver without ever hearing one beforehand and I gotta say, I am super impressed!!!! I originally wanted the Yamaha Advent-age RX A760bl, but I noticed the Onkyo had 100 RMS watts total vs Yamaha 75 RMS watts. Honestly, I had no idea what that equated to but after getting this Onkyo home, plugging up my Klipsch reference series surrounds and sub, it sounds greater than any system I've heard hands down. The volume max is 100 max and if you turn it up past 60 you risk shattering all the glass in the house it's so loud. 0 distortion. If you enter Best Buy in the market for a receiver and see one, by it in a hurry and run to your car!!! Haven't tried Dolby Atmos yet, but DTS X is a dream!!! Wireless connectivity has shown 0 issues to date.....Just stellar!!!

If you are an audiophile and are looking for lots of options then this receiver is for you. Excellent sound and control of the sound.

I love this system - it makes u feel like u are at the theater or at a concert and the volume isn't fully cranked! It's crisp, clear and clean sound is wonderful!

Fast, Crisp clean and doesn't over heat. responsive and easy to use.

Super happy with my Onkyo TX-NR656 sound, outputs and price. Compared to similar receivers in the same price range, I was happy with the 2nd zone and features Onkyo offered. Had to call Onkyo tech support to help with setting up zone 2 since the manual is vague but it was super easy and received excellent customer service. Great receiver for the price.

I bought this to go with a 4k HDR TV. This --product has the most features for the money. I have always had good luck with Onkyo products. I also have the TX-NR757 in another room. I really can't tell the difference in sound or picture quality. Either model is an excellent choice.

Just purchased to upgrade my 10 yr old Onkyo receiver & the sounds is great when I hooked up w/ my new Samsung 800 series TV.

This is an upgrade from my 2010 Onkyo receiver, and wouldn't consider owning any other brand. I love my new 4K/3D receiver!!

Gets the job done. Lots of features, lots of options. Works great with all my game systems, Shield TV, turntable, and more!

Hard to believe an A/V Receiver with all the bells and whistles this one has was on sale for the price I paid. Great deal..

ONKYO has been and remains to be a superior product, this has blue tooth and wifi and all the controls are on your IOS or android device. the sound is of utmost quality and it also has a direct phono input. with out hesitation if you are looking of an outstanding device.

Great receiver! Easy to setup. Loved the Wi-Fi, AirPlay, and audio setup feature.

I replaced a 11 yr old onkyo receiver because of the lack of hdmi connections. It still worked flawlessy when I retired it. This new nr-tx656 has everything I could possibly want in a ht system. Setup was easy. I am using this as a 5.1 system using 4 pioneer 8 inch ceiling speakers and onkyo center channel and subwoofer. Sounds great.
