Customer Ratings & Reviews

This thing sounds great. The Dolby Atmos sounds great. I like to listen to vinyl. It sounds great as well. Just know you need to movies that have atmos. You also need the right kind of speakers as well.

Excellent sound, and lots of power. Another excellent receiver.

I wasn’t in the market but my almost new Denon would not talk to my 6 disc CD player with only RCA outputs. Not only does the new Onkyo receiver work it has a Zone 2 feature that works with intuitive controls. The Denon also had Zone 2 but I was never able to get it to work when I needed it to work. This new Onkyo is user friendly like no Denon that I have ever owned. Musical quality difference is undecernable IMHO. Likewise features and benefits of both match up perfectly. The Onkyo is simply more functional do to user friendliness.

So far so good. Sounds great and seems to have plenty of power for the speakers I am running. Only thing to note is that you get some noticeable relay clicking when it is switching from surround sound content and stereo/mono content. I know it is normal to do so but it is a pretty pronounced sound.

Really, this is a decent receiver. But I'm exchanging it for a higher end AVR. I was pleased with the sound, but my speakers deserve better control at lower volumes and my subwoofer sounds like a garbage disposal. Again, not the fault of the unit, I just mistook this for something that could achieve more clarity on a large set of speakers. Impressive virtual Soundstages, but short on features. Remote feels a little cheap. Couldn't stream video to built-in chromecast. Would recommend it higher, if it weren't priced $50 less than better units from other manufacturers.

This box is definitely an upgrade from my 8 yr old Sony receiver. The sound is much richer and with the addition of Dolby Atmos. My theatre room has come alive again

Great product. Easy to program. Love having 2 channels so can use for speakers outdoors for music and speakers indoors for a movie at the same time. Wish the app was a bit more user friendly.

A decent receiver, not very special. I bought it because of excellent reviews by multiple sources on the web. As a boomer, I needed the geek squad to help me with the digital setup. PROS: Powerful with all the extras. However, you don't need Dolby Atmos nor 7.2 because there are no sources available to take advantage of. Netflix, Amazon and Apple TV have no movies for Atmos nor 7.2 surround sound. I did set up the 7.1 hoping that the receiver could virtually produce the sound experience I was looking for - NOT. The sound was clear when playing Spotify and Pandora. CONS:The Bluetooth circuit was defective but I was able to use Apple Play to listen directly from my phone with Spotify and Pandora. Biggest disappointment were the surround sound modes. When compared to my old Yamaha, there isn't near the dramatic sound modes as in the Yamaha. I think the Yamaha sounds a lot better. If you're not an audiophile, any receiver would be adequate. I was attracted by the features but disappointed in the end. Lastly, I miss the days when you could compare AV equipment in the store. None of the equipment is setup AND the floor staff have no clue.

My TV only has three HDMI slots. This has many more. I plug in DVD player, TIVO, Roku, Chromecast and I have a long HDMI cable to plug in my laptop directly. I can switch from one to the other easily with the receiver. Sound quality is great.

This is a great starter if you’re just starting out with home audio.

Wow one of the easiest setups I have ever had sounds great it has everything you will need to make your place sound like a movie theater go buy a popcorn maker and sit back and enjoy

I had a TX nr 737 for 8 yrs and the motherboard brew I decided to change to a Yamaha RX-V683BL but I had to return it because my speakers overwhelmed it.I went back to my onkyo TX-nr 696 and it is killing best sound easy to use everything about this receiver is great

Excellent receiver, the blue tooth capabilities and different zoning is awesome

An absolutely awesome receiver. Made my surround sound system pop and sound better than ever. Easy to set up and easy to use, I would highly recommend this unit.

What can I say, it’s THX certified! Delivers awesome sound and very customizable. Powers all my speakers with ease. Two front towers, 12” sub, center, two rear speakers and two shelf speakers! It’s like um truly surrounded like in a theater!

bells & whistles....yes power...yes THD...not that I can hear easy set-up....yes my Klipsch left & right towers and Polk Audio center really deserve this Onkyo system. I had to move entire system to our finished basement, neighbors request.

This is our 3rd Onkyo AVR - simply love it. An amazing product and great product for all my devices from Blu Ray, Radio, Cable TV, Apple TV and X-Box. Easy to set up, easy to use and most importantly good quality that will last for years.

This is my 3rd Onkyo Receiver and they have not disappointed. Easy to use, excellent fidelity. My only issue is I wish I had gotten the 9.2 instead of the 7.2. Highly recommended for beginners or pros that want something thats hassle free and works.

I’ve had Denon , Pioneer, and Onkyo. The Denon was the price of a small vehicle but whenever I had Onkyos they were the only ones who could shine a light to the Denon. Ease of use, great sound, enough ports and options to have a respectable home theater

I bought this to replace another one. This is a great product at this price point. It has extra features that similar models may not have and it was extra easy to set up. Enjoying it so far!
