Product Description
The Onkyo TX-SR606 7.1-Channel Home Theater Receiver provides high-definition video and audio processing for four source components. Onkyo's RIHD (Remote Interactive over HDMI) gives you inter-operability with the displays and playback components from other leading brands. With an expanded version of Audyssey's room correction technology, the TX-SR606 maintains the fullness of surround sound audio quality at low volume levels. With the latest HDMI version and advanced A/V processing capabilities, the TX-SR606 is a powerful control center for all high-definition media, including Blu-ray Disc and HD broadcasts. The TX-SR606 has Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio to enable a lossless, bit-for-bit soundtrack that is identical to that of the studio master.

 Onkyo TX-S606 receiver July 18, 2008
Onkyo TX-SR606 7.1 Channel Home Theater Receiver (Black)I have this receiver more then one month and so far everything is fine. I've replased my six year old Technics SA-DX 940 which's in very good shape but no HDMI's. This one has four and for now I'am set. Amazon price was 387.75$ with free shipping,I can't complain. I,ve read many reviews before making my decision and it was good one. The sound is amazing and the setup was't to mach complicated . Four HDMI's for this price is perfect. Only one thing read Manual first and then start the set up .
The features I wanted at a great price July 18, 2008
I spent a lot of time looking for all the features I wanted in one A/V receiver. Finally the Onkyo TX-SR606 came out with everything I was looking for. One big selling point was the 4 HDMI inputs. I have a Directv HD DVR, a Panasonic DMP-BD30K Blu-ray and a Toshiba HD-A30 HD DVD player that I wanted hooked up to my Sony 60" KDS-60A3000. The hookup was very simple with the HDMI cables all going through the receiver and only one HDMI to the TV. I also have a Wii hooked up to the receiver via component cables and it is output to the TV through the HDMI even though the instructions to me sounded like I'd have to have it hooked up via Component from receiver to TV also. It works great through the HDMI and the upscaled picture for the Wii is awesome. I also have my computer audio hooked up through the surround sound but don't have the video card yet to hook up the video so that is the only other cable I've hooked to the TV. The only problem I've had with video since running it all through the Onkyo is one lip sync problem with a standard DVD played on the Toshiba HD DVD. The same DVD played with no problem in my Blu-ray player and I've not had any other lip sync problems with any video. Even other standard DVD's played fine on both the Toshiba and Panasonic. I did play with the lip sync settings on the receiver while I was having problems with that one DVD but couldn't get it to totally correct. It improved for a time but would gradually get off sync again. Like I said I've had no other video problems. As for the audio it's been trouble free and great. I'm only using my Bose 5.1 speakers as I have a pretty small room so I really can't comment on the new 7.1 audio but the sound I'm getting is awesome. Crystal clear sound and the auto setup of the speakers with the provided microphone was easy once I got the kids out of the room so the receiver had complete silence to run the setup. We do normally watch our programs and DVD's at at least 50 on the volume and if we turn it up to 70 it blows you out of our small room. Even at 70 the sound it crystal clear. I was surprised how far we had to turn up the receiver to get full sound but it's not a problem for us. I do wonder if it would push enough sound in a large room though. I think with good speakers it would be fine but you'd be turning it up to the top end of the scale. The receiver does get quite warm when on but has not caused any problems. I do have it in a stand with glass doors and only a small cable hole in the back so I'm getting a fan to mount in a hole I'll cut in the back just to move air and help keep it cooler. Like I said it has had no problems but I worry about prolonged use with that amount of heat and no ventilation causing problems in the future. One other surprise when it arrived was the size and weight of the receiver. I didn't read the published size and weight as I was just looking at features and price. When it arrived it required some shelve adjusting in my stand to give it a little breathing room as it's much bigger than any component I've ever had in the stand. Overall for my budget and the features I was looking for I couldn't be more happy with this receiver. I also purchased the Onkyo Ipod dock for my wife's Ipod and the sound is very nice through that but the on-screen readout is quite cheesy as it's just plain white text that looks like it's from the pong era of video. I was hoping it would be color and show the album covers and such. One other thing is the remote. It works awesome to control the two HD players and my satelite and TV. Very nice. So nice that I still haven't programmed my Harmony remote to use on it. I would definitely recommend this receiver to anyone looking for HD features and a great price.
 Onkyo TX-SR606 good buy ! July 17, 2008

Was originally going to get the SR605 but when I saw the updated SR606 I figured I might as well splurge a bit. It probably a bit much for what I need but its a great receiver (so far). The 3 HDMI inputs and 1 HDMI output allow me to have CABLE, XBOX 360 and (eventually ) a HD DVD all going to my HDTV under 1 input source so I don't have to keep switching input sources with my TV remote. Overall it has a nice rich sound with the POLK RM6750 5.1 speakers I also purchased and I'm very happy. Only bug I got is the remote. It says it will control other devices but not completely. It will turn devices on and off but I can't scroll through the cable programming guide and there is no 'source' button (as on my HDTV remote) to change source input for a non-HDMI device ( ie WII). Guess a 'universal' remote is next on the list.
Great value but small problems with video processing July 16, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
First, the audio and video quality is outstanding, especially for the price. However, a couple of small annoyances with the video processing keep me from giving it five stars:
1)I still have a satellite receiver with an S-video output. When I connect the S-video to the receiver and connect the HDMI output to my TV, the receiver loses the closed captions during the conversion. I don't know if the receiver loses closed captions if you use both an HDMI input and output, but be aware of this limitation if you want closed captions.
2) If I connect my DVD player directly to my TV (a Samsung LN-T5271F), one of the aspect rations I can set the TV to is "just scan", which automatically adjusts the aspect ratio to correctly display the video whether it is 4:3 or 16:9. However, if I connect my DVD player to the TV through the receiver, the receiver seems to lose the part of the HDMI signal that specifies the aspect ratio, and "just scan" is no longer an option on my TV. It's a small thing, but annoying.
Other than these two issues, the receiver has worked flawlessly for me, and I would recommend it.
One other thing: this receiver runs very hot. Make sure you place it in a location with plenty of ventilation. Even with proper ventilation, I wonder if the receiver will have a shortened lifespan due to the amount of heat it produces.
Excellent value. Remote and input flexibility could be better. July 14, 2008

The first thing that must be said is that for the money, this product is hard to beat. Excellent features, quality, plenty of power. 4 HDMI inputs and 4 digital audio (coax and optical). The Audyssey system automatically applies adjustments that most people would never apply otherwise.
The remote is competent but forget about its universal remote capability. They give you multiple codes for each device and you just have to try them all. And then, some never did work. Not a problem for me since I am using a Logitech Harmony (and so should everyone, IMO).
A bigger disappointment was that the audio-video inputs are more limited than I had expected. If you have several older devices, you should know that only the HDMI, digital audio, and component inputs can be connected to different inputs. And they can't be renamed. So anyone using my system has to know that TV/GAME button shows the old TiVo box and that the laptop is connected as CD. And if I had one more device, I'd have been out of luck.
But for around $400, what a terrific performer.
