Customers are saying

Customers regard the TX-RZ50 9.2 Channel Network A/V Receiver favorably for its sound quality, power, and ease of setup, with many praising the Dirac room correction feature. However, some users experienced issues with HDMI functionality and input switching speed. The price-performance ratio also receives positive feedback. While some users found the initial setup of the Dirac Live room correction a bit challenging, the overall consensus is that it significantly improves the audio experience.

    HDMI Issues after a year of use

    After just over a year of owning this unit, the HDMI out is no longer working. Onkyo customer support is terrible, I cannot recommend this product. This seems to be a known issue, yet they do not address it. If I could I would return this and get a more reliable unit, even though this one has all the features I need, I would not purchase it again. I was hoping the HDMI issues would not hit my unit, and I took the chance, but this will prevent me from buying anything Onkyo in the future.

    Home theater installation takes 6months/10 visits

    Best Buy wasn't able to figure out how to use it to give me Atmos. And now tell me I have to order a different receiver (the third one so far-- I ordered what they tell me I need for my installation which has been wrong over and over again). And also that ceiling speakers have to be removed and holes left in the ceiling and speakers placed in different locations. And that I'll have to pay to fix the holes left in the ceiling. My home theater installation will take at least six months and at least 10 visits to complete. And the first installer who was the installation manager never heard of protector hotspots or knew how to prevent them. I have to wait four to five months for a different screen because that's how long it takes. The first installation was rushed so much that everything needed replaced and redone. The components were not turned on to see if they worked or were installed right. No updates were checked. Speaker distances were not entered. And probably 10 times I've scheduled to have someone tell me how it should be done right and I just get a call the day before that says they don't know yet and they cancel and never get back to me.

    Was great at first, then menu options disappeared, like audessy, Dirac, and any setup options and “please wait” came on screen when I tried to get to the menu. Contacted support, went through the tge doft reset and factory reset, nether worked. They said I was under warranty and I just needed to take to my nearest service center…3 hours away. This makes the warranty useless. If you buy make sure to get an extended warranty or roll the dice on a $1500 paper weight when something goes wrong. This was my last onkyo, pioneer, or Klipsch product.

    GREAT receiver for current gen gaming consoles

    So far, I absolutely LOVE this receiver. Upgrading from an older Denon unit that wasn't able to support the full functionality of the current gen consoles (XSX, PS5). This works great, and sounds incredible. I'm also able to add 2 more height channels to my Dolby Atmos setup...looking forward to setting those up soon.
