Product Description
The Onkyo TX-SR576 7.1-Channel High-Definition Home Theater Receiver features Audyssey technologies that let you tailor surround sound to your home and ensure an enveloping soundscape. The TX-SR576 is capable of receiving and switching 1080p video, as well as processing multichannel surround sound via an onboard Dolby Digital Plus decoder. The TX-SR576 offers integrated system control with selected HDMI compatible high-definition displays, DVD and hard-disk recorders, and Blu-ray Disc players. With one remote control, you can control several functions, including Standby, Volume Command and Direct Change. Compressed music loses a substantial amount of bit information at higher frequencies, so the Music Optimizer technology works to overcome this limitation and enhance audio quality. With Powered Zone 2 and a Zone 2 line-out, you can enjoy surround-sound entertainment in the main room while you play back a completely different stereo source in a second zone equipped with an amplifier or a pair of speakers. The TX-SR576 gives you greater flexibility in choosing from a range of speaker packages. Its surround back speaker channels provide the ambience and effects for movies. In effect, bi-amping gives a more powerful, dynamic soundfield for two-channel music and movie sound effects.

5 out of 5 stars All That And More...   August 28, 2008

I was looking to upgrade to an A/V unit with HDMI capability since I had just bought HD LCD TV. I had a Pioneer A/V, purchased in 1990, which had served me extremely well. It was connected to a surround sound system with speakers built into the walls. I started researching and found the ONKYO rated highly in the price range I was targeting.
Since installation it is all its reviews have stated and more.

I bought the TX-SR576 (from Amazon) and a H/K AVR-247 (BB display unit) to ultimately pick one to replace my Onkyo TX-SR501. I got the H/K because I've always wanted a Harman/Kardon AVR and b/c BestBuy sold it to me for $250. I got the Onkyo because the TX-SR501 that I've been using for several years was a real home run in its performance I figured I'd have similar good results. The end result is that the H/K is going back to Best Buy b/c while it sounded very similar to the TX-SR576 (they both sound great), the 576 won out b/c I managed to get better bass from the Onkyo; yes, for those of you who know about this stuff....I DID update the firmware in the H/K. I'm somewhat sad by this b/c I really wanted to keep the H/K, but I can't argue with better overall sound from the Onkyo.

Other things in favor of the Onkyo....simple to set up even without an on-screen display. Setting up the 3...yes T-H-R-E-E HDMI inputs was effortless as was using the microphone to calibrate the settings for my Boston Acoustics speakers.

The TX-SR576 doesn't decode Dolby TrueHD or DTS-HD but it will handle multi-channel PCM through each HDMI port.....excellent results with my HDDVD and Blu-ray player. The absence of Dolby True HD and DTS HD onboard decoding isn't a problem, b/c neither of my HD disc players can bitstream lossless audio.....I still get the benefit of lossless audio with multi-channel pcm. I also get 5.1 audio through the HDMI from my Verizon Fios box. It's not remotely as pretty as the H/K, but it works better...it's moron-proof simple to use.
