Onkyo TX-SR608 7.2-Channel A/V Home Theater Receiver (Black)

Sure, we call it an "entry-level" A/V receiver. But when you witness the full potential of the TX-SR608, you'll know the level you're entering is far beyond the ordinary. For a start, you get six of the latest HDMI 1.4 inputs for simple hook-up of all your high-def sources. HDMI 1.4 also brings compatibility with the new 3D video format, as well as an Audio Return Channel from your display back to the receiver. Complementing HDMI on the input front, you have an analog RGB video input for connecting your PC, and a Universal Port for Onkyo peripherals. All video sources, regardless of resolution, can be upscaled to big and beautiful 1080p via HDMI and Faroudja DCDi Cinema. Audio processing incorporates quality Burr-Brown DACs, lossless Dolby and DTS codecs, and the expanded surround formats of Audyssey DSX and Dolby Pro Logic IIz. Three-stage inverted Darlington circuitry and jitter cleaning technology work to ensure extremely precise and faithful amplification. In recognition of the TX-SR608's outstanding A/V prowess, it has been awarded THX Select2 Plus Certification. read more..

Onkyo by Joe
Knowing that I was going to upgrade to an hdtv with hdmi, I started shopping for a new receiver to replace my old Yamaha with no hdmi. I really thought I would just buy another Yamaha, but after researching and reading many reviews from many different sources my brand loyalty was soon to change. CNET gave very favorable reviews for this Onkyo with no downside at a very good price for what you get. Knowing that the Yamaha, Sony, Denon and others had lukewarm reviews I decided to take the plunge and buy the Onkyo. I am very pleased with the receiver. It sounds great! The audysey sound was easy to follow which allows the receiver to dial the sound right for the sweetspot of where you will be sitting. The onscreen display mades setup very easy. I also like the idea of less cables which means less spaghetti in my audio cabinet. Since I am no techie, I am sure I am only using a small part of its potential. The remote is easy to use and sync with my cable remote and my wife and kids now have it figured out how to operate it. I put the Onkyo in my cart and noticed after about a week that the price had dropped and without paying taxes I think I saved about 75 bucks and got free shipping.
