5 out of 5 stars Onkyo delivers solid preformance   July 18, 2008
J. Eshbach (Emmitsburg, MD USA)
Great receiver. Has additional "B" speakers group which can be used with or without the "A" group; makes for creating extra sound for an entire house as opposed to just one room. If you can get this 7.1 channel receiver programmed (works by using remote microphone which is provided)you are in for a great surround sound which works on any medium (cds, IPod, Blu-ray, etc.) Not that programming the surround sound is difficult, it just requires that you have everything wired correctly and there is little/ no white noise in the room. If you can find it on sale BUY IT.


5 out of 5 stars What a great receiver!   July 18, 2008
E. T. Hildebrand (Marietta, GA)
I recently purchased a new Samsung LN52A750 HDTV from Amazon and decided it was time to upgrade my RX-V2200 Yamaha receiver too. I had been happy with the Yamaha's performance (it was $850 in 2001) and it had never given any problems. But the Yamaha did not have HDMI connections and I wanted to make use of the new connections and capabilities of the new TV and a new Blu-Ray player.

This time around I didn't want to spend a lot of money on another receiver that might quickly become obsolete as the Yamaha did. The way technology progresses it may be time to upgrade again in 5 years or so to gain additional capabilities.

After quite a bit of research it appeared this receiver would do everything I wanted. I've now been using it for the past 8 weeks and just can't believe how much better the sound has been compared to the much more powerful and expensive Yamaha! The sound separation and clarity is way better than before - and I'm still using the same speakers and wires. I can tell this receiver is not packing the same wattage because I have to turn up the volume to about 50% on the Onkyo while I only needed about 25% on the Yamaha. Even so, there is no distortion and noticeably more "punch" to sudden sounds such as gunshots, explosions, and breaking glass.

It would be nice to have at least one more HDMI and Toslink input for possible future needs, but right now everything is working out fine. It would also have been nice to have the Onkyo pull sound input directly off the HDMI connections, but it really is not a big deal to simply run a coax or Toslink audio line to the receiver. After all, this solution saves a lot of money by not having to upgrade to another receiver that can do this. I knew of these limitations before purchasing and still feel this receiver was the right choice.

The Audyssey 2EQ did a fantastic job of automatically configuring audio output to match my speaker layout. There is now a noticeably smoother sound transition from each area and the subwoofer performance is 100% better than before - more punch and a much smoother crossover transition.

We are completely satisfied with this purchase. This Onkyo receiver was inexpensive (only $219), yet performs like I would expect a top of the line system to perform.

Actually I bought this item for my Projector and it was not the right one I was expecting. When I sent it back Amazon has returned complete money back with no questions asked.

Amazon is best for Customer satisfaction no doubt about it.

I love to do business with Amazon.



5 out of 5 stars Powerful State of the Art at a Great Price   June 29, 2008
Mitchell S. Davis (Irvine, CA United States)
Very satisified. The Onkyo replaces my Mitsubishi 1000 receiver. I have a 5.1 system which was very easy to coonect. I especially like the mic which automatically sets the speaker levels.

It may be last years model but it had all the features I needed.

I could not get the Direct TV remote to turn the receiver off. I tried all the codes and could only get it to turn the receiver on. Therefore I use the Onkyo remote for that purpose (to turn receiver off). The buttons on the remote are small and I can't read them since the font is even smaller.

Overall, I would definately purchase again.

I was disappointed in the fact that the audio is not being transmitted to the receiver through the hdmi cables. It requires seperate cables for digital audio to be processed, although it processes audio through hdmi to my hdtv???. When I hooked up my upconvert dvd player through the receiver, I receive an error message on some dvd's that it's format is not supported by the receiver. So in essence, I cannot even use the hdmi ports on the receiver, the video goes straight to the tv and I use coax cables to the receiver. I also experience an audio "drop out" that Onkyo's website, if I remember right, refers to as a problem that they are working on with Dolby... On a positive side, I really like the auto speaker configuration, and the sound of the unit is good..The price was extremely good.
