I was debating between the Pioneer 919 and Onkyo 607 too. Ater owning an Onkyo for 25 years (and still going strong) I thought i'd end up with the Onkyo, but I ended up purchasing the Pioneer 919 due to the following:- I can connect my iPod touch without having to purchase a $100 dock as with most other receivers- slightly higher power, slightly lower THD- great price ($349 at Newegg about a week ago)I haven't hooked it up yet (need to wait until xmas). Also bought a pair of Polk Monitor 70s for only $170 each, also at Newegg.

Please google it. I think you might find something on avsforum.com. If I remember, it has been addressed or will be shortly. Not sure if this applies to specific Onkyo models.

I currently have them plugged into the Sony STR-DE697 no problems. I was looking to upgrade to Onkyo or Yamaha, but the new Sony network receivers look great at the price.

I use the Infinity Primus series. I have the c351 center speaker, the p163 floor standing for fronts, the p153 for book shelves. I have a 7.1 system, I still use my onkyo speakers for surround, and the onkyo for base. I will soon be purchasing the Infinity base, and the p143 for surround. The Infinity series are by far the best, I have tried Polk,and Klipsch,they don

Thanks P. Seto, I think I will try the same. However, I Checked out the Onkyo 605 at my local Best Buy ($499), but on Amazon ($408), and it looks like it could do some serious damage. My only gripe is that it only has 2 hdmi inputs. I may want to add a PS3 at a later date, which would have my entertainment system running 3 hdmi cables. Is True HD and Dolby Digital plus a huge difference with the onkyo receiver capable of this type of audio?

Just finished setting up my 507 over the weekend, it sounds great, love it for the price, it should enough power for most of the home theather system. It support 5.1 only, if you want 7.2 then should go with the 607. I had been research, compare the similar features and price range receiver such as Yamaha, Denon, Sony, etc, and read a lot of customer review, I finally settle with the 507, I am not regret at all. Good luck.

Hello Paul, I purchased the Onkyo TX - 8050 as a gift for another. I do not know the answer to this question but, this is the website for owner manuals for Onkyo products: http://www.onkyousa.com/Downloads/manuals.php?source=globalnav Go down the webpage until you reach this model and click to open the manual. The answer may be in there for you. The model is about half way down the page. Or, go to the Onkyo website: http://www.onkyousa.com/?m=TX-8050&class=Receiver&p=i and click on SUPPORT. They have a Support Forum, How to videos, and Frequently Asked Questions that are answered. Best of luck.

I am really wondering about this new tx-nr515..... Provided there are no reviews out there about it, looking at the specs sheet I'm quite skeptical... I mean, it costs 200 more than the tx-nr609 and it has 3-4 additional minor features that can hardly justify the price difference. On the other hand, the tx-nr609 has even some extra features compared to its youngest sibling (higher W/ch, THX Select2 Plus certification, Audyssey DSX, and several other things). Check by yourself: http://www.eu.onkyo.com/en/product-comparison-58455.html?products=20674,11980 For some people the tx-nr515 might be the next big thing, but to me it seems more like an update of tx-nr609 with a much fatter price tag slapped on it. Ofc specs do not tell all of a device, also build quality, post-sale service and so on play their part... I'm interested in hearing other people's opinion about this, since I will be buying an a/v receiver in a couple months.

I was wondering the same thing. It's a shame onkyo doesn't list compatible stands on their website. I've been searching and not finding anything. I just got my system and will take it out of the box and see what we are looking at. Do you ever find anything usefull for mounting or just stands?

Thanks for the response. This looks like a much better value than the tx-sr805. I think that I found my new receiver.

When I do the comparison on Onkyo's site, it looks like it has all the features of some of the bigger systems that the average guy really wants. HDMI Switching, rather than pass thru as well as a couple component-ins for legacy gaming systems. Latest HDMI and good speakers. The price is right as well. What is everyone hearing for a date? I have heard late March to early April? I may pre-order as well.

Well after much debate and searching for the best price, I finally pulled the trigger on the Elite VSX-21TXH. Found a deal on Ebay that was just too good to pass up ($510 shipped). And since the VSX-1019 was similarly priced, it was an easy decision to go with the 21TXH. BTW, both the 1019 and the 9040 are both still right around the $500 mark. I'm certain I'll be happy with performance of this elite AVR. =)

Sorry to say but it's time to look elsewhere than Onkyo, hdmi failure across the board, still no acknowledgement of the problem, this product is just as prone to failure as the lower end models, myself and Onkyo have parted ways am now running an Sc-79 and couldn't be happier

I just got the Emotiva XPA-5 to drive M70 fronts, CS2 center, and M60 surrounds. The difference over my Onkyo TX-NR808 is quite amazing! If you're on a budget the XPA-5 is a good choice. If you have a lot more to spend I'd look at Adcom, Sunfire, and Parasound equipment. I haven't listened to them but from what I've read you won't be let down.I still think the Emotiva XPA-5 is one of the most underrated products on the market. For the money, it's an excellent option. 5 year warranty gives peace of mind.

My receiver just died last night. Purchased in June 2011. So glad I found this question and great advice. I hope Onkyo comes through..

I have the same problem with the Yamaha RX-V665... Probably the same deal as Onkyo... no toggle mode.
