4 out of 5 stars Audio is fantastic, video not as good   September 24, 2008
M. Kim (San Francisco, CA)
5 out of 8 found this review helpful

I started w/ the Onkyo 706, which sounded ok.. but a minor problem w/ the supplied mic forced a returned and decided to take the plunge and get a Denon AV 989. Having owned previous Denon products, this unit was as expected. Within the week, had a small problem w. the unit and had to rma. I talked myself into the Onkyo 876 for the audio, and HQV video chip. Audio is great, and the remote fantastic. The video wasn't as good as the Toshiba XDE I also bought, and otherwise would give it 5 stars. It does run warm, and heavy..... but so far, s good

------ 1 month update ------------

Cant fault the sound quality.

1 of my primary factors for buying this model was the up scaling capability of the HQV chip. Using a Sony DVPNS601HP,Panasonic DVD-S97S, and a Toshiba XDE i tried various combination of letting the Onkyo do the up scaling or the upscaling dvd player.

In the end, the Toshiba performed best for dvd players. The Onkyo is better then the upscaling on my Tivo XL HD, but that to be expected.

Although the HQV chip in this model didn't meet my high expectations, the sound quality far surpassed every expectation.


Love the remote, and it's functionality.
