Does the 6200 come with a tuner for radio? From what I gather, this system only has a hookup for an optional radio tuner. I always thought a receiver and tuner were packaged together. No?

Old thread, but still relevant, I think. The HT-s6200 does have a built in AM/FM, and I do own one. It is a great system for the money, no doubt about that. It comes with a great sub and receiver worth building off of if you choose to get new speakers down the road. I have had this system for several months and it is easy to set up, and sounds great for most everything (Blu-rays, games, music, even ol' standard, boring television).

Hi fellas! Quick question, is this a radio that a newbie would be able to learn to use, perhaps with a modest amount of instruction?If it is, Ed, would you like to sell yours? Thanks!

My 6200 just got delivered today. so I can say yes the 6200 has a repeater in it. Im currently running a ps3 and 360 both through the 6200 hdmi repeater and my cable box through component. The onyko extracts pcm over hdmi from ps3 and dolby digital 5.1 over hdmi from 360. Just as stated before, 6200 no longer upconverts SD signals. Oh and if you can get twin/dual banana plugs, cheapest I know of is at m*n*price ... they would of made my setup a lil easier, real pita twist connecting fourteen 16g speaker wires to the terimal posts. no it doesnt come w/ 16g wire, something like 22g or 24g; my stock wires are still sitting in the bag it came in.

The receiver does have a tuner for the radio, you can look at the pics of the front and back to see what it actually hooks up to, I'm guessing all will work but maybe the turntable.

I have spent the last two weeks trying to find an external TV tuner that is ready for the digital TV next February. I have searched all over the internet. I am also looking for a stand alone tuner. I have found analog standalone's. I have found digital usb tuners. But I have not found a digital standalone. I gave in and ordered a $40 coupon from dtv.gov so that I can buy a digital converter and use the analog tuner. Hope this helps! Dave

I have recently purchased a new receiver and found that higher priced ones will have a phono input. There are preamps that can used - reviews of the lower priced ones left me skeptical about quality and frequency response, so I decided to spend the money on the receiver. (Denon 3313)

I didn't opt for internet radio (Sirius), but this model does NOT have internet radio built into it, if I am not mistaken. If it does have it built in, you just wire it up like any other component of the system. This does have tuner built into it, but the antenna is connected to my car's antenna (which is an exterior one that stands up all the time). In conclusion, I don't know if you need a tuner plus sirius to work. I suspect that the tuner is going to work as is, unless your car's antenna is broken, but you will have to subscribe to sirius, given this model can support that.

I have few questions. Can you hook up Bluetooth devices to this receiver? if so, will the recommended yamaha bluetooth will work? 2).Can you play music through zone 2 and not have music playing on the main speakers at the same time? 3) I tried adjusting the volume in zone 2 speakers and it said Fixed volume. what does that mean? Can you adjust volume via smartphone if you have it hooked up through bluetooth?

CORRECTION. I MADE A MISTAKE. The one you asked about is the radio I returned because it did NOT have a speaker! (Could not tell at first from the small picture on the email Amazon sent Buy the Sangean DT-200X FM-Stereo AM/FM Digital Tuning model I eventually got and love.

Use a splitter my receiver only has one pre out for my sub so when I placed the order I also got that as well. The splitter was a recommendation when I was looking at the sub and from what I was told when I was looking around it helps with the signal. This sub really hits nice and clean hope this answers the question

Hey, hope you're still checking this discussion. I'm the guy that wrote that review so you can be sure that what i tell you will be accurate. The software that was on the disk works perfectly with the tuner; video, audio, remote, and all. Search around in the CD that came with the tuner. If you still can't find it, I'm not sure if I can help you there. You see, a lot of the software is third party, and the company that made the pvr sofware stopped supplying the software for this tuner. I wish you luck finding it. It should be in the CD.

I looked up the tuner and i can say it would be perfect match my friend, because the tuner is the right amount of watts 80 watts just get a 12 inch woofer at least ok because the speakers do sound good but really would sound better with a bigger sub, please you have to make sure you separate the sound good, i sold them ASAP because my tuner was at 120 watts per channel way too many, they feel cheap but much better them a lot of speaker i have owned, if you want a very good sounding speaker take your time and by piece by piece polk you can buy on ebay but go with polk.com and down on the right click on polk ebay and get the refurbished- they are good as new trust me i have the TSI300 & Monitor 50s like new you cant tell- so take your time man trust me with the Onkyo will sound so good it would blow you away, if you have any other Q.A please email me bro?

This unit does nothing more than switch between sources & provide Bass & Treble adjustments, It is not a tuner or amplifier, it is a pre-amp. So if you have a satellite radio tuner with a Dual RCA or a stereo 1/8" output, you can connect it (with the proper RCA to RCA or 1/8" to RCA cable) and it will pass through this device to an amplifier just fine. I hope that my answer is clear enough?
