    Still breaking it in. Responds well. It is easy to setup. The dolby atmos is awesome. The dts-x is also awesome. Music playback is nice. Only complaint is the spring clips connections. I thought that was old school

    For the price on sale is beatable but thí AV is not 4K pass through just support up to HDR, can’t watch 4K movie just HD upscale so disappointed, buy Sony AV 7.2 instead.

    This receiver was the correct purchase for us. The ease of set up was great and it replaced the previous Onkyo seamlessly. The included microphone and instructions led us through the setup in about 15 min. We will defiantly purchase another Onkyo in the future,

    I bought this along with a 65" Class Sony TV. Now I connect my game system, Blue Ray, CD Player, Cable Box, EVERYTHING to this receiver, which has one OUT cable going to the TV so all my sound is controlled by the Onkyo. Great value, and sounds awesome.

    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.

    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.

    Onkyo - TX-SR494 7.2 Receiver is good, but not the best Onkyo. This receiver is good for the price, the sound is good for the price and the receiver is good for a small room.
