Chromecast Does Not Work
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For video, this seems to be a decent surround receiver. The User Interface via both TV and iOS remote app is terrible, but that's what I've found with all other receivers. Chromecast audio, however, will only work rarely (and lately never), and Onkyo's recommendation is to unplug the receiver. Didn't know I'd bought Windows 8. Since half of why I bought this receiver was to sync my surround speakers to my home audio via Chromecast, I'm disappointed. Maybe Onkyo will fix their software: I can always hope.

Awesome for the money
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great receiver for the money. What other receiver at this price point would give you Atmos and other main stream technologies.

Very good receiver!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The unit is superb, but the sales staff did not know how to hook it up! I hope the staff reads this review!!! No one could be expected to know how to hook up everything in the showroom. The proper response is to tell the customer to call the manufacturer. I ended up calling them at least 9 times and the things they told me were very helpful and I knew them to be correct!!! These units are very complicated so, calling the factory line was absolutely necessary. They were extremely knowledgeable... especially hooking up zone 2.

Awesome Video
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Upgraded from a Sony for the 4K pass through, man what a difference. This was worth every penny spent, and I was able to price match and get 60 dollars off.

Powerful specs for a cheap price!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this receiver during the Christmas sale. For 7.2, or Atmos at 5.2.4 and 100w per channel, there’s no other receiver at this price point. Granted, maybe at regular MSRp there may be other options. I have been using it to power a pair of Infinity R162 and the matching RC263, two sound appeals as rear surrounds and up firing front pioneer Dolby enabled speakers and it is going pretty well! Only downside is there is no pre-amp hookups but at 100w, I think you’ll be fine with most entry-mid level speakers.
