Lots of features and excellent sound
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Lots of features and excellent sound, more features than I have used, and great configurations. The phono pre amp isn't the best, but most wouldn't use it for that, if you listen to vinyl you probably have a separate setup anyways.

Very good overall performer at a reasonable price
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Replaced a Denon AV receiver that was ~ 15 yrs old. Found set up to be much more straight forward. Still think Denon has a better look but performance is as good or better. Only problem with set up was difficulty using ARC function for audio. Surround sound quality is very good. Bluetooth compatibility is a big plus.

Best receiver
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this on sale. Best reciever for me so far. Good for listening music and watching movies. Music seems to me like your watching live concert. Movies becomes youre in a theatre watching youre favorite movies.

Fabulous upgrade from 15 year old Onkyo!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Prior model did not have modern technology- somewhat comparing apples and oranges. Prior served very well until the right channel died. Complex set up with all features- only two calls to the super helpful Onkyo US based customer service. Occasional WiFi drops, have not investigated further, very sporadic so hard to diagnose. Overall very satisfied with better sound and picture quality.

If you’re looking for a 7.1/5.1.2, look no further
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I absolutely love this unit. Easy to set up. Purchased this as I knew I’d be able to utilize a set of speakers already installed in my ceiling for height. Have used Onkyo for the last 7 years and will be continuing to do so!

Quality Sound System
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Can be challenging to set up but once we had it set up, the system provides great sound quality. Sometimes I hear things thinking it’s real but later realize it’s the sound system. It’s got a lot of features but I generally don’t use most of the features.

Good buy
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Updated my tv so also needed to update my receiver. This is a good quality nice option and rated highly by cnet. Setup was easy and sound quality is good. I do wish it had more hdmi inputs and at least one composite input for my retro video game consoles but a $25 adapter can take care of that. Overall a good buy for the price but makes sure it’s on sale.

Great Quality receiver
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was skeptical about switching from known brands like Pioneer and Yamaha for receivers. It wasn’t until my buddy, a connoisseur of tech at BB, told me that they (Onkyo) is up there with the magnolia line and pioneer and Yamaha. So far amazing quality sound, and more than enough inputs for my home theater set up.

Satisfied
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Have had the unit about 2 months. Overall works well. Multiple HDMI ports a plus. Sound is best between 50% to 75% of volume use. Lower settings yield very little sound on a Surround Unit. Remote is excellent. For the money has nearly every feature that's desirable. Overall would recommend.

Replaced the Yamaha.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice receiver. I had to replace my Yamaha that I loved because of the various surround modes. This one doesn't have as many options, but the surround is excellent, and it drives my Nose Acoustimas speakers just fine.

State of the art AV Receiver, every bell & whistle
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very very happy with this. It was a distressed purchase as my older Sony ES AVR stopped switching video. A strategic purchase for when my 2006 Samsung 56 inch TV is replaced by a large screen 4k TV, this Onkyo AVR has all the capabilities to switch 4K HDR video as well as providing great sound. Love the app to use a phone or tablet as a remote control, have the kitchen TV hooked up to Zone2 and can control turning that part of the AVR on/off and alter volume using WiFi. Thoroughly recommended!!

Great sound for the money.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We purchased our receiver because our other 4 year old Onkyo Stopped playing audio. We really liked the quality of the sound and ease of setting up. We decided to give them another shot. Reason for the 3 star was the early no audio issue.
