    I bought this in December of 2023 after i closed on my house to set up my home theater in the den. 3 short uses for Bluetooth music in the start of January 2024 and it stopped working. I put it back in the box and forgot about. I remember my 2 year manufacturer warranty is about to be up so i take it in to the authorized repair facility and they fix and test it, im already outside the warranty period before its returned as they waited a month for parts. They gave me a diagnostic that the center channel was the issue and instructions to test my speaker with a battery and check my wiring, check my speaker all is good... so i change all of my wires to new and not even 2 songs into testing it stoped working again and im out of the warranty coverage so in the trash this things goes. So in total i have maybe 30 min of use for this unit. I had an onkyo receiver in the past and no issues so this was truly disappointing. Will not buy onkyo ever again.

    Have been enjoying Onkyo receiver and disc player for years. My old receiver gave up the ghost, so I replaced it with another Onkyo. Great item, easy to install, and glad to have another Onkyo receiver to enjoy.

    I was replacing an Onkyo I had for 20 years that didn’t power on anymore. Plugged right into my existing Onkyo speakers and works like a champ. Definitely an upgrade from the 20 year ago version…

    No issues, however this is a dated unit, I (must have) missed the date this unit came out, the on screen interface is dated, and didn’t seem all that great, but I suppose at the price point I got it (used-open box), it’s okay. However, I returned it for a different model.

    Seriously good and clean power. I really like the center channel vocal enhancement option. I have owned many similar units and this is one of my top favorites under $500.
