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..

Had to give 5 Stars by Deeked
I am 42 and installing home theater equipment is not as easy as they once used to be, because of the lack of time and patience I have these days, but everything went very well. I didn't even open the manual to do the hookups, I just went off my experience with the past 5 or so Home Theater Receivers I've had in the past.



After connecting all my inputs and the one HDMI output to my Samsung 58" HDTV, I merely went through the setup menu and very easily figured out how to assign and rename all the appropriate devices I had connected. In total I have an XBOX 1, XBOX 360, Wii, VHS player and a Verizon FIOS receiver. (I don't like games very much LOL)



The sound and video for all my devices work perfect for me especially after using the Audyssey setup. Everything calibrated wonderfully and the sound options are great once you are finished.



PS: I also purchased these Atlantic Satellite SPSCUR47 2 Speaker Stands (Titanium) and that made all the difference in the world with my speaker placement. If you don't have your speakers set up properly, you don't know what you are missing.



I'm not much for writing reviews, but I hope this helps someone out.
