Needs a better FM receiver June 23, 2008
D. Walterscheid (Muenster, TX United States)
I have this receiver hooked up to a 7.1 surround system, and it works great. I used the included microphone to automatically adjust the speaker volume levels but, I didn't quite agree with the chosen levels, so I manually went in and adjusted them. I would have given this receiver five stars, except for the fact that the FM receiver doesn't pick up anything but extremely close stations. I live approximately 50 miles from most major stations, but to have several FM receivers that can pick up the FM stations very well. The only way this receiver will work for listening to FM stations will be if I hook it to an external antenna.
Onkyo SR605 June 20, 2008

Onkyo SR605 is a quality receiver for the price. I highly recommend it for those people who don't want to spend a lot for a receiver, but want high quality sound. It can be a little difficult hooking up the connections if you are putting the receiver in a cabinet.
 I love it !!!! June 18, 2008
Joseph Castleberry (Chicago)
Lets just easily start with the biggest understatment possible - this reciever should be priced much more for what it does - for it's price it provides you with a quality that exceeds what anyone could want as a new or upgraded audio/video receiver.
It allows you to connect everything in your entertainment center to it - and sends all your connected devices to your tv using a single HDMI cable - this elimintates tons of expensive cables , and the huge mess of them behind your tv " especially good if you have a wall mounted tv " or pets that try to chew on everything.
The sound quality is phenominal - after using the microphone that comes with the 605 to program itself and adjust to the accoustics of your speaker setup - it becomes apparent that this is the reciver you should have bought from the very begining - I have had mine hooked up with the full 7.1 using mix and matched speakers of my preferance - I actually selected my favorite center channel , rears , sub , and ect. to make sure I was getting the sound I wanted , then let the receiver do the rest of the work setting it up - it cant even begin to explain how amazing my concert Blu rays and HD DVDs sound - I can hear every instrument sing through each speaker as if I was there.
Deffinatly take time to read all the features of this unit since there are many I didnt take advantage of - but deffinatly dont let this receiver be overlooked - it is the best bang for buck guaranteed anywhere !!!
 Sounds great but it runs hot! June 18, 2008
Michael D. Perry (Centennial, CO)
Great features for a receiver in this price point. Surround modes sound good and the HDMI switching capability is excellent.
Occasionally I have some strange video issues where the picture (regardless of source)will start jumping around the screen and the only way to fix it is to turn the receiver off and on again.
My only complaint after owning this for a few months is that it gets hot! I mean really hot, if it's been on for any length of time you can't touch the top of the receiver with your bare hands. If you have good air flow in your entertainment center then i say go with this unit, if however you have a closed off area or plan on putting other devices on top of the receiver then i would look at other options.
Good value for the money
Onyko is great, delivery was not so great. June 15, 2008
Merle E. Reiste (Houston, TX)
The receiver is outstanding. However, I do have some concerns about shipping. I selected the "free" shipping when I ordered the unit as I expected to be home when it came. I was called away and the order came about 4 days ahead of its expected delivery date. The delivery tracking indicated that it was delivered on a Tuesday. I got home on Thursday and it was Saturday when I got the item from a neighbor who saw it sitting on my front step. The tracking information indicated that it was picked up at the source by DLH. I did not occur to me that USPS would handle the final delivery nor did I expect that USPS would just leave the item without getting any delivery receipt. High value items like this tend to grow legs sometimes. I had some very anxious moments anyhow! Could Amazon require a delivery receipt for an additional fee paid by the customer? If not, perhaps the risks associated with "free shipping" should be available to the customer when ordering the item. Had it been stolen, would Amazon provide a replacement?
Thanks,
Ed
