It is a bit different from my antiquated stereo system, but after a few days I really like the clean and pure sound this reciever puts out. It's great.

Absolutely love this receiver. It's very use friendly and simple to attach to your speakers of choice. I love the ability to use it with multiple devices. Great choice.

I really wanted to like this receiver, but i knew from the moment i connected to my tv, it had issues. From the get-go, the on screen would go dark, come back then go dark, etc. Finally after it returned to setup menu, the test tones were so loud, i thought they would blow my klispch r620 woofers. When i connected my old school 300 disc Sony cd player to the optical imput, and run menus again, i would lose the cd signal (ugh)...Ive had onkyos in the past, NEVER any issues. Im currently running a entry level Pioneer Elite, and it sounds just fine, but i thought maybe, just maybe the Onkyo txnr6100 would be my last receiver. I know theres always lemons, but this receiver left me sour, pun intended. I may opt for the older txnr696, but to disconnect all my sources is a hassle, so i dont know. Ive read reviews that praise this receiver, so i think i may give that one a shot.

Great AV receiver, lots of options and intuitive interface. Sound quality is excellent, a little bright with Klipsch speakers, but outstanding musical detail.

The app isn’t as bad as App Store reviews make you think. Great features, sounds amazing on my Klipsch RP8000FII’s. Probably should have spent the little extra to get the 9 channel for Atmos but overall I’m happy.

I've owned 4 Onkyo receivers over the last 15 years and all within the same parameters as this receiver but with of course latest tech upgrades. This has by far been the worst ever. I played with it adjusting everything to make it come close sounding to my last Onkyo. It sounded so bland and powerless. I do 5.2.2 set up and even with 2 subs it made John Wick sound like an episode of Mr Rogers Neighborhood. Normally the bass would rumble to the neighbors house and now it would barely come through. I decided to start from scratch, rewire, and do setup again. Same thing and gave up after a week of frustration.
After a ton of research (which is very hard to come by, recommend Forums versus online reviews as they don't seem to legit) I was between a Denon and a Yamaha ended up going with the Denon AVR-X1700H it had less watts than the Onkyo and previous Onkyos I had but it seemed like the safest bet as far as future proofing for the next 4 or 5 years.
Highly recommend, very easy (although primitive) set up screen. Great and accurate Audyssey set up I barely had to adjust settings. Now for the same test John Wick. Night and day for sure, my Atmos speakers worked better than ever, bullet casings falling every where, the subs were on point as well.
I don't want to bash Onkyo as of course I only ever buy mid priced receivers. My budget is key as I'm not an Imax, nor feel the need to go over my $600 to $700 max budget. That budget at times is even pushing it sometimes but I do like the added features and upgrades that come within that price range. Their top tier receivers may sound like what I was used to with their previous mid range receivers, but that also says a lot of who they may be targeting, audiophiles with deep pockets.

I had to return this, horrible reciever, try to use bluray function no picture appeared on the tv, and i didn’t feel like i was getting the surround sound effect with this no matter what option i choose, calbration on this does not work. I never heard of this onkyo brand my Yamaha receiver was over 15 years old and I upgraded to this to keep up with technology advances because this has a bunch of hdmi in the back my old Yamaha was all rca only, never heard of the brand Denon im used to buying products like Yamaha, sony, but since this the onkyo didn’t work for me i tried the denon and im so happy with it, the calibration was better and easier and more detailed than the onkyo. I feel the surround sound effect i was looking for with the denon :)

Too many issues with my Sony so I gave Onkyo a try this time. Packed with all the fratures I was looking for and so much more! Will be buying another for my basement set up!
