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.

    Drove from Tampa to Bradenton to pick up open box item in "excellent" condition (defined as having original packaging and all parts/manuals. Box was taped shut. Tape indicated the receiver was inspected by Best Buy techs. Unit would not power up - called Onkyo customer service who advised return to Best Buy ASAP. Waste of time and gasoline.

    I waited 8 months for this to come into stock and it was truly worth it! The Dirac Live room correction software is amazing! It is everything the reviews said it was.

    I’ve always loved Yamaha but this receiver made me switch. It has plenty of power and the vocals are clean and clear. After about 20 years of owning Yamaha receivers this Onkyo made me switch.

    Been wanting this receiver for some time. Couldn't pass it up when it went on sale. This receiver is future proof for most people. Great power and configuration options.

    Great Receiver / Dont Buy it in BESTBUY

    This Receiver is AMAZING. But buy this somewhere else. I've been a loyal Best Buy customer, but it doesnt matter when it comes to price matches. I was off by a few days from the return date and they said they cannot match the price. Better to get this from Adorama or Amazon. It is expensive here and Customer Care is filled with bots.

    Very happy with all aspects of this receiver. Replaced an older Denon. The Onkyo sounds MUCH better. Dirac puts Audyssey to shame.

    Have had this Onkyo receiver for a year and a half. Previous receiver was a Onkyo TX-SR 805. This is a great receiver as a comparable unit. Not as much power but still great for the home theater.

    The first unit was defective. Your exchange policies made the replacement difficult. I had to cancel the original order and reorder it. At that time the unit was off sale and I spent a good amount of time at the store and had to get a manager involved. The second unit works fine and is everything I expected.
