    We never realized how well our surround sound system could perform until we purchased this Onkyo receiver. The price is extremely competitive for this level of sound clarity.

    i like the way it hooks up but i don't know if it's my speakers or the unit but in order to get the full effects of the surround sound i have to turn the volume up way high like around 70 to 80 so over all its a nice unit

    Good entry level receiver for the beginner. But if looking for something that can handle more channels the rz50 is what I’m going to be upgraded too

    Excellent except for the speaker wire connections that are too small for my 14 Gauge wires. 16 Gauge will work just fine.

    First of all I’m a pro AV installer with decades of experience. I don’t generally buy retail but none of my wholesalers carry onkyo anymore so I went to Best Buy. First unit out of the box mutes volume as soon as you change it. It doesn’t matter if it’s on ARC, its own remote, or you turn the knob by hand. Then count 1001 1002 and volume comes back. You never have a clue how much you raised or lowered it. A disaster. I reset the unit, tried various inputs, same deal. On screen display also missing. OK bad unit. Go back and get another since my job was 150 miles away. Figured I would then return the bad one. Second one, has on screen display but on volume, same deal. Despite being the same exact model, one had banana plugs and one had push pins. Onkyo went insolvent a while ago and was purchased by Klipsch. It seems there are issues going on. Turns out Best Buy return policy is also 14 days now so I had to pay $50 a year to become a member just to return these two clunkers. I’ve a friend also in the business whom I contacted who has used the 6100, and didn’t have issues. Do all 5100’s have this issue? Can’t tell you. I wasn’t going to risk a third. Mainly we go to this unit for its sonos ready capability. I went back to a Sony instead. They also have the feature in the ES line.
