5 out of 5 stars Onkyo TX-SR705 7.1 Channel Home Theater Receiver   July 6, 2008
In years past (before retirement) I used to spend thousands on high end "surround sound" receivers. I'm startled to find this Onkyo sr-705 does everything I have need for it to do....and then some. I'm still not comfortable installing them but had a "cable guy" moonlight the job and we have it running letter perfect. What great bang-for-the-buck. The hdmi connections really make the setup easy


2 out of 5 stars The HDMI inputs failed after 10 months   July 4, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I got this receiver in Sept 07 and here it is July 4 and I have problems. Two of the three HDMI input ports do not function. The third ports sometimes works. I have reset and reprogrammed this thing repeatedly. I installed a DSP firmware upgrade with no benefit. I emailed Onkyo who sent me to warranty repair. I do have a local repair center but the delay for repair is four weeks, maybe six weeks maybe longer. The repair shop said there are lots of units in for repair. I again contacted Onkyo but got no reply to my complaint of a long wait. I found scattered similar complaints on Google.

Until it failed on me, I had enjoyed this unit. I liked the computerized sound field setup. I like others found it a little weak in loudness.

I cannot recommend this unit. Onkyo TX-SR705 7.1 Channel Home Theater Receiver (Black)

I have owned many stereo receivers and this is the first one to fail like this.



5 out of 5 stars High End Receiver for amazing price!   June 30, 2008
My old Onkyo receiver from the 80's worked great for many years. Time to upgrade for the digital surround sound though. This receiver will not disappoint.

It does run hot. Make sure you have 2-3 inches of ventilation above this. I was hoping it would have Hidef digital radio station capability and wi-fi like the higher end Denon's. However, they cost thousands. Other than that, this receiver can do the same thing as the higher priced receivers.

Great job Onkyo!




5 out of 5 stars Great Receiver   June 30, 2008
I bought this receiver at the end of May it came with the latest firmware update and the thing works great.I had no trouble setting it up as I previously had downloaded and read the manual twice as well as read the AVS forum thread for the Onkyo 705 for a month before my purchase.I paired it with Panasonic Th-42PZ700u plasma,dishnetwork vip722 pvr,Panasonic BD30 blu ray and a panasonic dvr/vcr combo using a pure hdmi chain.I use onkyo sks 240 speakers.My only complaint is the remote but i can overlook that since 'm going to purchase a Harmony One remote to make my life easier.Just a great receiver that puts out excellent sound.It does run hot so don't cram it into a small space.


4 out of 5 stars All I expected and more   June 26, 2008
Bought the product from Vann's and I could not be happier with their service. The receiver has performed flawlessly and provides excellent sound when paired up with the Bose speaker system we use. Set up was easy and very accurate, just make sure the kids are entertained while the system runs its diagnostics as the speaker will pick up any of the noise and stop the process. All in all, with no interruptions, it was 15 minutes from box to play. Only drawback is the heat the unit generates which is substantial in a closed cabinet. At this price point this unit is very hard to beat and the HDMI and S-video ports along with the ability to expand allow this unit to keep pace as the technology evolves. No hesitation in recommending this product.
