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.

It's all about the watts, I should have went with the Sony like the old days but I went for the features instead of watts. My next av will be 100 watts I need it to push out more. Overall its decent for a started kit
