Customers are saying

Customers are positive about the excellent sound quality, ample power, and straightforward setup process, along with its extensive features and effective room correction. However, customers have noted some issues with HDMI performance, particularly with 4K Blu-ray, and slow input switching. The complexity of the Dirac feature has also been a point of concern.

    Wonderful A/V Receiver for the $$$!

    "Downgraded" from the Marantz Cinema 50 just to see if nearly double the price was justified. To my surprise, the Onkyo RZ50 is easily the better bang for the buck! Sure, it doesn't have the same detailed ability to tweak settings, but offers slightly better power output and doesn't get as hot.

    This receiver makes my speakers sound so much better whether listening to surround sound or music. It has dramatically improved the sound in pure audio (2 channel) music mode. I had a 12 year old Yamaha Advantage previously which was much more complex but did not sound nearly as good..

    Excellent service with Best Buy. The store sales person was very helpful when purchasing this product. He knew the products and understood what we were looking for. He went out of his way to make sure everything is what we wanted. He got the product to us as soon as possible. Overall very easy to do business with Best Buy. Will return for future purchases.

    This receiver is very impressive for the money. You won't find a better performer at this price point. It replaced a Denon AVR4300H from 2016 with Audyssey XT32. Dirac Live is impressive but there's a bit of a learning curve with it but the end result is outstanding. Well done Onkyo.

    Purchased this to replace a Pioneer that lost the HDMI board. Couldn’t be happier! It has all the features the older Pioneer didn’t have.

    Sound is nice and broad. Full of details even at lower volume. Dirac makes a difference but it sounded clean without it. Perfect balance of performance and value. You will notice the step up in performance.

    This is by far, the best receiver I have owned. This thing punches better than any of my others in the past. My speakers are even outdated. My next step is to get new speakers to enhance even further the capabilities of this receiver.

    This A/V receiver is the best I’ve ever had. Onkyo RZ-50 is a BEAST I’ve been looking for a receiver to power my Bose 301s 201s and my center channel. This is the one it enhances everything it is a must have if you are home theater enthusiast even if you’re not trust me.

    Plenty of power and most of the current extras you would need. The GUI is a little outdated and don't love the fact that you can't externally amplify just the front 3 channels in a larger setup. Great for the price, but only Good AVR most 5.1.2 setups though.

    I bought one in June 2023 for my home theater and another in February 2024 for my family room, and a few months ago, both lost video and audio. They turn on, but the TV just shows "No Signal"; I swapped cables and tried them on other TVs, but the problem persisted. Now I’m waiting on the Onkyo warranty, for just one of them, since the first one I bought is no longer covered.

    Great amp! Perfect for atmos applications. Very faithful reproduction of your movies and music. Other brands add their own equalization algorithms to the end product and onkyo is know for its more natural and “faithful” reproduction of the source material.

    Still tinkering as the technology has improved from my cheaper onkyo avr. Paired with decades old Klipsch Reference the speakers have more clarity. 7.2.2 will purchase power amp to push to limits adding 2 more dolby atmos

    A beautiful product for those who want to explore the realms of audiophile home theater and music. Is able to power my 700 series B&W and extremely versatile to support a multi room system. Dirac has taken room correction to a whole new level.
