Great receiver
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best Buy had a great deal on this so I had to get it for my bedroom. It has a good amount of hdmi ports, great customization and excellent sound when paired with a good passive sound bar or speakers.

Great receiver for the money!!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The dynamic microphone for sound balancing is awesome! The 4K ports are plentiful, the built in chrome cast is nice. The use is very simplistic for individuals that might be technically challenged. :-D

Outstanding!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Onkyo TX-NR686 is a beast of an AVR for it's price point. I had absolutely no issues setting it up and it sounds great. And, the picture coming from my cable box through this AVR is nothing short of stellar!

Good THX certifided A/V receiver for the price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have had the Onkyo receiver for over a month now with no problems. It was easy for this 76 year old to setup. The sound quality is a lot better than that of the 7.1 Sony it replaced.

Incredible Sound
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This has been the best home theater system I've had yet, sounds incredible always, I even bought Onkyo speakers to go with it and it's perfect.

Checks the boxes
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My previous Onkyo stopped working unexpectedly. I called the manufacturer and found out it was common for that model and they offered a small credit toward this replacement model. I was out of warranty unfortunately

Nice sound, but won't last
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This receiver has been a let down unfortunately. When I first purchased it I have to say it had very good sound, however within 6 months it had stopped working and had a burnt smell when it stopped working. Sent it in for warranty repair and they had it for 3 months due to the pandemic. When it came back it worked very well once again, within two weeks of being fixed it would not hold a bluetooth connection. I sold it and bought a Sony. This unit when it works correctly has incredible sound but it wont last.

Great receiver
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this receiver as an upgrade from my Denon, which I have had for years. The Denon was "old technology" and wouldn't work with new TV. I was certain I would get the same, but the Sale price on this Onkyo 7.2 equaled the Denon 5.1 sale. With some hesitation, I opted for the Onkyo. I am overall, very happy with it. Connections are easy. Remote is very easy. I had some installation issues as it wanted me to use the on screen for direction, and had problems finding where that screen set up was on the TV. Once I found that connection, the set up was a breeze. Very happy with the purchase. Hoping it serves me as well as my previous one.

Wonderful bang-for-the-buck.
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this to replace an old Denon when the HDMI board went out. This has far more options to my Denon ever did and was probably half the price of a new Denon. The only thing I don't like is a user interface.
