 SR-605 July 1, 2007

Very happy with my SR-605 receiver. I am using it with a PS3 and HD Cable box with a 150" electric screen and HD1000U projector. It has plenty of juice and it will play 5.1 movies through all 7 speakers no problem. The reviewer who had all of the issues did NOT know how to operate the receiver which is easy with a little time. br / br /By far the best bang for the buck if you want HDMI 1.3 and upscaling of everything through HDMI. Way to go Onkyo!!!

I returned this for the following reasons: 1 - Only this only one out there that downscales 1080i signal from component source to 720p. 2 - Low sound. 3- I cannot tell which speakers are active in any given listening mode, I thought there is a way to tell this somewhere in the setup, nada. 4 - Cannot output 5.1 PCM to 7.1 channels.
Definitely, the best for the buck! June 13, 2007

While I have been an A/V buff for many years, I do not go off the deep end buying a myriad of equipment to play anything and everything. I carefully research every piece of gear before I buy(ad nauseam, if you listen to my girlfriend) to do what I want and have the flexibility to handle upgrades in associated components. That said, I have to admit I didn't wait for the TX-SR605 be on the market for more than a week before I purchased one. No magazine reviews, Amazon listings, online blogs, etc had reviewed one when I purchased mine the day after the receiver hit the shelves on the West Coast. br /This receiver should handle most A/V enthusiast's needs for the next several years. The OSD is very straight forward and the listening field calibration(mic included)works well to get you started. It could use a third HDMI input (available on the next unit up, TX-SR705, for $200 more) but with the up-conversion, it will handle component level inputs with no visible difference(IMO). I purchased the Sirius receiver add-on which integrates and plays flawlessly. I also bought the associated Onkyo iPod dock for my Nano(another homerun). This unit is not THX certified (a dubious certification these days for equipment designed homeowner use) but is available on the next models up in the range. The unit will, however, handle all the new (some as yet unreleased) Dolby audio expansion codecs. There are enough assignable inputs to handle most homeowners systems for years to come. I am quite satisfied with this unit and have no reservations. br /My gear rack includes: br /Pioneer Elite PRO-1140HD 50" plasma TV br /ONKYO TX-SR605B Receiver br /OPPO DV-981HD DVD player br /Xbox 360 with HD-DVD br /Playstation 3 (only for the BluRay player, of course) br /Scientific Atlanta 8300HD cable box br /Harmony 676 remote "to rule them all" br /
Solid receiver; some minor (?) HDMI switching limitations... June 13, 2007

Got the Onkyo 605 (replaced the RX-1200) this morning and spent about an hour setting it up. The experience was very positive and I had no problems what-so-ever. br /br / br /br /In summary, it seems to be a solid receiver if you can live w/ inability to matrix "Multi Channel PCM" to 7.1 and lack of component - HDMI switching 720p. br /br / br /br /My set up: br /br / br /br /Toshiba XA2 (HDMI input to receiver); HDMI audio set to "Auto" br /br /XBOX 360 (Component 1080i output connected directly to 60A2000 RPTV); optical input to receiver. br /br /Klipsch 5.1 RF br /br / br /br /I tried a couple of 5.1 SD-DVDs and it looked like receiver applied PLIIx to them (I only have 5.1 at present though). The True HD soundtrack from the Matrix HD displayed as "Multi Channel PCM" and PLIIx wasn't applied as expected. br /br / br /br /The 1080p pass-through on HDMI seems to be working just fine w/o any noticeable degradation of PQ (component transcoding to HDMI is limited to 720p from what I have read though, but that doesn't concern me). br /br / br /br /Here's a run down of the steps (for newbies) and my own experience with them: br /br / br /br /a) Read the manual first!!! br /br / br /br /b) Connect your speakers (preferably using banana plugs from Radio Shack etc.). Make sure that you get the polarities right before turning on the receiver. Run the Audessey setup by plugging in the provided microphone. In my case, it detected that I had inadvertantly unhooked my left front speaker and completed w/o problems after that . br /br / br /br /c) If you prefer an on screen display, connect a S-Video from the receiver cable to your TV / monitor. You may want to adjust the aspect ratio 4:3 or 16:9 br /br / br /br /d) Connect the HDMI inputs (if any) and assign the appropriate HDMI input. In my case the XA2 was connected to HDMI input 1. The HDMI output from the receiver was connected to the TV's HDMI input. br /br / br /br /e) Make sure that you set HDMI Audio Out to "Yes" br /br / br /br /f) If you prefer to see the OSD over HDMI, set the HDMI Monitor to Yes. You will no longer see any output on the SVideo. If you make a mistake on this screen, you can revert by pressing the arrow key on the receiver to switch back to SVideo. br /br /
