Customer Ratings & Reviews

Excellent quality for the price. Highly recommend for people looking for a complete 7.2 channel receiver (also great as a 5.2) on a budget. Simple, fast setup for those wanting quick help. Can't go wrong!

Good, better than expected. No issue, the sound is better than my denon receiver.

This is a solid receiver with contemporary options and a lot of flexibility. The set up is a more involved than some of the other receivers I’ve owned and set up. In fact I had to bring out a geek squad person to go through the set up versus me or my son doing it.

The surround sound feature makes me feel like i'm right in the show

Got this unit to replace my 16 year old Onkyo which was not Smart TV compatible with my new Samsung 8000 series. Works great! Set up was just a little querky with onscreen setup, but I got through it. New unit is compatible with my old Onkyo cassette tape player which made my wife happy. She has a lot of old cassette tapes she has not digitized. Old DVD player synced just fine.Sound quality is good using my old JBL speakers. For me, the vocal adjustment is fantastic! Many new TV shows have music so loud you cannot discern the dialogue during some scenes. This unit will adjust to bring them in loud and clear. Overall I am very satisfied with the unit and would buy again. ONE NOTE: If you mess up on initial setup, you can reboot setup by following the instructions found on the very bottom of the instruction quick setup guide. One small line in very small print. Easy to miss!

The reciever has great sound for the price. Connects very well with ARC/EARC to the Sony 65" tv. Indicates with light when Dolby Atmos is connected.

I really like this new unit its simple to use and i really like the Bluetooth feature.

Was not my first selection but for the price. It is a very good surround sound source. Plenty of stations and great sound

sounds beautiful and works with dolby atmos right out of the box unlike some other reviews say. Bought it open box excellent for $150 and as far as i can tell it was literally on opened and then returned.

Since Purchsing, ot performance great. It has great features and it inhances my theater sounds.

Best receiver i have purchased!! Easy set up and easy to connect to your system!!

High quality product that is easy to set up and operate! Happy with my choice!

Really a nice little receiver for home audio. Not gonna take the foundation but that's what amps are for. Bought it open box for $150 and it looked brand new to me. Just missing the little microphone to roon test the receiver that should have been in the box but no big deal.

Quality product!! The salesperson at Best Buy was knowledgeable and set me up on the right path with this receiver

The Onkyo TX-SR494 7.2 Receiver is doing a great job in amplifying the sound from my TV!

Nice unit! It took a bit to set up the speakers, as to be expected. The set up screens were easy to navigate. It was an open box deal so I saved a lot on it. It was in great condition for an open box. I had a Yamaha receiver but it finally died and I wasn’t best pleased on how it worked anyway. Greay product! I am very happy with my purchase!

Great quality Sound. It was easy to set up and was just as described.

Amazing...um...everything about it. This is a smart receiver that has so many awesome features-too many to list here. Even has an hdmi port that is a 2way IO for easy comms between stereo and tv. Clearity rich and crisp with enough amperage to fill your living space. Perfect with my Bose system.

Amazing receiver, absolutely just a plug and play and no hassel i love how much you can customize the sound as well.

Easy to install, great sound. I love the sound settings
