Customer Ratings & Reviews

love this receiver, but i would like the soft ware Dirac live was more user friendly, i am not sure what i am suppose to be doing with this extra feature and there is no one from Dirac to help

Great stereo.I love the sound mode choices.120w per channel.my prime pinnacle speakers sound great. Ru

Excellent AVR, this marks 2 years now that ive enjoyed mine for. It has enough juice to run my SVS ULTRA 5.1 system Excellently. I also very much enjoy the included dirac eq license!.

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

This receiver is fantastic. It comes with multiple ew softwares, dirac and accueq. The dirac is somewhat clumsy when used on mobile. It disconnected several times until I could finally get it to work. But the receiver itself sounds fantastic. And especially at the sell price of 1200 bucks. If you pair this with a $300 amp, I think you have a excellent 7.2.4 system. That's at a cheaper price than anything on the market currently

Really enjoy the power and sound that go through my speakers. Very happy with my purchase Onkyo

I was surprised when I saw this receiver finally available to purchase at Best Buy. I had been searching many different websites for about a year for the opportunity to acquire this. I replaced my Yamaha Rx-A1070 and couldn't be more pleased with the sound quality, built and overall design. I hope to enjoy this receiver for many years to come.

Great sounding receiver with virtually any functionality available these days. I use is mostly for music listening with a pair of high quality speakers. Easily drives the speakers and generate great sound.

This claims to be a 9.2 channel receiver, but it seems to me that some of the channels are piggybacked off of others. I am also not experiencing a lot of difference between all the different sound and effect modes. My prior Yamaha 7.1 and my Denon 7.1 in the theater room used to give me sensational sound. For instance, on "stadium" or "sports" mode you felt like you were right there surrounded by the sounds of the fans, while the announcers and field action was up front. Now, not really.

This is an excellent A/V receiver. We are using it in 7.1.4 mode with an external Amp to drive the two extra speakers. Sounds and works perfect! Very versatile and highly recommended value for the price.

I’ve been pretty pleased with my RZ50 so far, with audio quality that exceeded anything I had used before, but after only a few short months of owning the product, it developed the apparently common Onkyo/Pioneer HDMI blackout issue. Onkyo support expects customers to pay non-refundable shipping to one of a small number of authorized service centers to warranty their commonly defective products, only to have them commonly fail again. Hopefully Onkyo can fix their poor service some day, but luckily other brands have released new products that brought competition back to the $1500-ish AVR market, so hopefully I won’t have any reason to talk to Onkyo again, not owning any of their products. Hopefully Best Buy can help some way or another.

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..

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.

"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.

Great receiver Well built very good customer service very good picture quality Easy to use

High quality A/V Receiver, amazing Hi-Fi sound whether playing CD's, Streaming via Bluetooth or using as a Home Theater System. Very pleased with this purchase.

This receiver has so many bells and whistles I doubt we use them all. Love the 2 zone capability. Plenty of inputs for all your needs.

My first new AVR in a while… this thing rocks. All the bells and whistles. Dirac is awesome. Set up was a breeze.

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.

I’ve owned many receivers in my lifetime, this is the absolute best one sofar! Needs adjustments for sure, out of the box is same as any receiver
