 Sounds Great September 29, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
My Sony STR-DE945 went south the other day. I was debating between replacing it with the Sony STR-DG720 and the Onkyo TX-SR606. After reading all the reviews here, I decided to give the Onkyo a shot. What a great decision I made. The sound out of it is so much better than the Sony I had. I had it ran for 4 hours (2 CDs and 1 movie)continuously, and it was warm but not "hot" (definitely not warmer than my Sony STR-DE945).
Superb sound, easy connection, easy controls September 26, 2008

I bought this receiver 2 weeks ago. So far, I absolutely love it. I have connected it to a Panasonic mdp-bd30 blu-ray player and a Samsung LN46A650 46" LCD TV, through HDMI. Setup was very easy, with an HDMI cable comming from my satellite box and another from the Blu-Ray box, and then a single cable going from the receiver to my TV. I set the Blu-Ray player to send the audio information in bitstream to the receiver, and the receiver so far has perfectly played all the audio formats, including Dolby TrueHD, and Dolby Digital 5.1 The sound has been truly amazing, with the Polk 5.1 speaker system I also bought from Amazon. My family and I have watched some high-energy movies, such as "300" and "Apocalypto" and the sound has been truly exhilarating. Even football games have been revolutionary, as the 5.1 separation creates a game-changing experience when compared to watching on a standard TV or even with a two-channel stereo.
Overall, the quality of the sound is stunning. My normal-sized TV room is filled with clear, rich, separated sound. The subwoofer creates nerve-tingling effects, especially in action movies.
Understanding how to configure and set up the receiver was easy. Once the speakers were connected, I used the device's automatic sensor device to balance the speakers and set the equalization. That process took 5 minutes and was perfectly simple to follow, given the excellent on-TV directions that the receiver provides. I am not a techie audiofile, but was able to set up and configure the receiver in about 10 minutes.
I'd recommend buying a Logitech Harmony 550 remote to control all the devices seamlessly from one remote. Even my wife and children can easily control the combination of devices from the single remote.
I originally was going to by the Onkyo 505, but learned that it did not process TrueHD sound, and has only 2 HDMI inputs. The 606 was about $150 more, but it was very much worth spending the extra.
HDMI Switching at an Incredible Price September 25, 2008

This is my second Onkyo receiver. My first did component video and audio switching. It is still working perfectly.
BUT...
This one does HDMI switching and is the reason I purchased it. In fact, it has four HDMI inputs and one output to your TV. If you only have one HDMI input on your TV, this receiver is priceless if you want HDMI quality. Speaking of price, it is the best value in HDMI switching today.
I love the fact that I can pass component video through the HDMI output to my TV. The Auddessy microphone is simple to use and calibrates speaker distances and volume levels perfectly.
My only issue is the slow HDMI switching. It takes a few seconds to switch between sources, often resulting in one or two seconds of blue-screen.
Several PS3 owners have stated they hear a buzz through the speakers. I do not. No issues there.
Overall, this is the best receiver I have ever owned.
UPDATE:
I recently discovered that this receiver requires 550 watts of power. No wonder my electricty bill went up!
 Nice receiver but problems with remote September 25, 2008
I really like this receiver and the quality of both sound and video. However, there is a strange problem with using a remote right after startup. It usually takes about 4-5 minutes after startup before the remote works. During this time, the receiver can only be controlled by manual buttons.
Strange issue that I can find no help on.
Best Bang for Price! September 23, 2008
I am totally satisfied with this receiver. Setup is easy and quick! It does get hot like they say but it's normal. You have to make to sure to give it some breathing room.
