 best receiver ive ever owned November 22, 2008

THE VIDEO PROCESSING ENGINE MAKES MY 1080I PLASMA LOOK LIKE 1080P RES. THE SOUND PROSSESING IS PHENOMINAL BY FAR THE BEST THEATER RECEIVER IVE EVER OWNED FOR THE MONEY. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Works for Me November 22, 2008

I am definitely not smart enough to use all the capabilities yet but I am totally happy with the sound. I replaced a 30 year old Onkyo amplifier and reciever with this system. Onkyo is the best buy for the money.
Great Receiver, Not quite what I expected November 6, 2008

I really like the quality of the Onkyo SR806. Great layout, awesome automatic calibration (the result is WAY better than any auto-calibration I had ever run before)
BUT.....
I bought the Receiver primarily to do two things:
1- Upconvert / Downconvert all video for output to 1080i
2- Process the Dolby TrueHD and DTS MasterAudio from my playstation 3.
Unfortunately, I was thwarted in my goal, I think largely due to the equipment I am hooking up to it.
As far as Decoding Dolby TrueHD goes, the Playstation3 does not bitstream that format out of the HDMI connection - it must send it as a 6-channel PCM signal, which is not processed by the receiver. This is most definitely and issue with the PS3, not the ONKYO. After much web research, I found that most BluRay players currently decode those signals onboard and then passes them on to the receiver. So I'm getting the TrueHD output, just not processed by the receiver, so the nice little lights never fire up. I'm not sure that there is a compromise in sound quality by doing it this way. In thinking about it, I'm not sure how much of a difference I should expect with a lossless signal, the Dolby Digital signal is great on its own. One important point is that the optical digital connection cannot carry the multichannel PCM signal, so a receiver with HDMI inputs was a necessity anyway (my previous receiver, an awesome Pionneer Elite, does not have that capability so it has been demoted to my bedroom system.
More disappointing is the video upconvert / downconverting. My HDTV is a 5 year old 65" Mitsubishi which has a GREAT picture but only component video inputs. The receiver will NOT upconvert ANYTHING to 1080i via the Component Connection. If I had an HDMI connection on the Mitsu, it would upconvert everything to 1080p. Again out of luck, but not the problem of the Onkyo.
I'm keeping the Onkyo because I love the way it sounds and I think it will work well when I upgrade to a flat screen 1080p unit with HDMI inputs.
Almost perfect October 30, 2008

I love this AV receiver. The only issues I have had are 1) that there's no switched power outlet on the back and 2) that the upscaling feature doesn't work well on everything. My projector has DVI and Component RGB connectors, and Onklyo says their upscaling isn't supported if you have to use an HDMI-to-DVI converter. I wish I had known that up front, but I plan to replace my old projector soon anyway. Everything else is great, and I suspect my new projector will allow everything to look wonderful.

This receiver is amazing. Setting it up was a breeze. For the nontechnicaly advanced and new comers everything is color coded.
When it came to setting up the speakers I came into a small problem. A slight error on my part. So I hope this advice helps others when setting up the speakers. This receiver comes with a mic that is used to electronicaly test the distance from each speaker to 1 of 6 seating positions one at a time to ensure best sound in all 6 seating positions. When using the set up mic to automatically adjust your speaker setting without having to do it manually make sure the surround speakers from your previous 5.1 plug into the "surround" speaker outputs NOT the "Back surround" speakers. The Back surround is for a 7.1 connection which I still need to upgrade to. If you plug them in the wrong outputs of the receiver you will get an error message while performing the auto speaker set up. This will also cause a problem if you try to manually set up the speakers too.
Aside from that small mishap- sounds great easy set up- self explanatory remote- and the reason I bought it, the THX certification.
The THX certification basically means Onkyo paid Lucas to certify that the equipment meets the THX standards. There are several units on the market that might meet the THX lever of quality but unless products pay for the certification we wont know. To me this shows Onkyo cares about letting you know what you are getting. Some people don't need or want this. If this is you Id suggest looking for a model or 2 down the line. This certification is why this unit has the sticker price it does.
This unit also has 5 HDMI inputs to plug all sorts of HDMI items in like Xbox 360, PS3, a Blu Player ETC... and one HDMI out to connect to the TV. I also like the blue backlite volume knob and the green display on the face of the unit. If you connect the HDMI out there is a on screen option that allows you the visibility of reading off your TV set vs. the small display screen on the unit. This is good when setting up the speakers.
This unit also reads several of upgrade audio options found on the Blu DVDs.
