perfect compliment to your Onkyo NR receiver.

Ordered this adapter because I don't have a cable near my HT system. This was an easy solution. Just plug it in the USB port and you got wireless connectivity. Works great!

I owned Onkyo products in the past and when I finally got out of the dark ages and purchased a new LG 50" plasma, I had to have a great sound system to compliment the picture.

I was looking at the TX-SR309 but decided for a little extra money get a few more bells and whistles and boy was it worth it! I've never been happier! This system delivers a wide range of settings to adjust my listening experience to whatever I'm watching and adding the USB antenna to pick up internet radio is great. I don't have to rely on my cable company anymore to provide me commercial free radio.

I would highly recommend this unit to anyone who doesn't have a lot to spend but still demands quality from the product they buy. Onkyo is the way to go.

I purchased these speakers to pair with my Onkyo receiver and height modules (see other reviews) and I am ecstatic with the result. You will see in reviews here and other sites that the speakers compete with  high-end devices that cost hundreds of dollars more.  I love the look and sound. This also represents my first foray into having an active sub woofer, which  I now see as an important factor in  an immersive sound experience.  Very, very happy with these.

After reading lots of reviews on various receivers I found the Onkyo TX-SR507, and thought that it was finally the one to buy. I then decided to take a look at what I could possibly get for a bit more, and found the TX-SR607.
Let me tell you the extra features on the 607 are worth the $[...].

First: Six (6) HDMI ports, including a front HDMI port.
If I were to buy the 507, I would have filled all but one of the four HDMI ports. Leaving me very little room to upgrade in the future. The front HDMI port is also a perfect addition. I can connect my laptop easily and run slideshows or online videos. Even my compact digital camera has HDMI(mini) on it, perfect for showing new photos.

Second: Analog to Digital video up-conversion. Even though my only analog component is a Nintendo Wii, connected via component video. However my TV is wall mounted, and the 607 allows me to run just a single HDMI cable from the receiver to my TV to carry all signals. This is far easier then running bulky component cables. The Up-conversion quality is pretty good, not the best I have seen, but again when the source video is 1/4 the output resolution you can never get perfection.

Third: Automatic volume control. This is the feature that pushed me over the edge. Automatic volume control means no more super-loud TV ads, or changing channels and getting blasted by some overly loud broadcast. Note that Automatic volume control is NOT the same as dynamic compression. Dynamic compression dulls your audio by making both the quiet sounds louder, and the louder sound quieter. Automatic volume control preserves the full-range audio while still keeping the overall maximum volume in check.

The TX-SR607 is short (depth wise) enough to easily connect everything and not have lots of wires crammed up behind it in a cabinet.

The unit does get warm while operating, but never too hot to touch. It is fanless, so that means zero extra room noise. A trade-off I will take over a fan any day.

The sound quality is great. I am using the system with all identical Polk speakers, and a 10" 100-watt subwoofer.
The setup was painless and the automatic calibration worked wonders.

My only request for improvement is to make more if the menu only functions accessible by remote, such as the night mode, or the auto volume level setting.

Used this paired to my Onkyo Receiver and it worked perfectly.  No issues whatsoever.  I love not having to open my cabinet doors all the time.

Let me first start by saying that if you have concerns about the quality of this receiver you are absolutely right! The reputation around Onkyo receivers was shaken so much by quality issues in the recent past.  However, Onkyo finally managed to fix all issues with the latest firmware (#400).  So as consumers we are in a sweet spot.  We get a great receiver for a great price - Onkyo can't inclrease the fallen price atleast for a while and I hope Amazon does put the number of negative reviews into account when discounting prices.  I guess that's the cost failing products pay in a highly competitive market!  Now about this receiver - it is packed with useful features, has a ton of inputs.  Two HDMI outputs is very useful in many situations.  Sound quality is amazing and Audyssey makes your speaker setup a breeze.  Settings can be tweaked to perfection with fine grained control.  Streaming radio options are good, though no support for Netflix and the like. All in all, a neat product at an unbeatable price for what it offers.

I am writing this review after nearly 3 plus years of having bought and used the Onkyo HT 7.1 Channel Home Entertainment System.
Truly value for money. Clearly Onkyo made a product that is beautiful, and sounds wonderful. The entire equipment came in a large Carton and was very well packed and protected. Bought this from Amazon vendor - Vanns. Product came within the promised time.
I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of speakers...... I have over the years been very skeptical when it comes to sound quality from speakers that are not from companies known for their speakers. The trick lies in the fact that you can arrange the quality of sound through the amplifier section of the Receiver. All 7 satellites (including the center channel) are clean, clear and crisp. I initially utilized the Audyssey setting using the microphone that came for doing this setup for balancing individual channels' sound. It did a good job of evenly balancing the lefts from the rights in all 7 channels (this included the fader balance Front, side and rear). However, I wanted further clarity and more balance from the rear, which was easy to tweak by manual setting through the receiver amplifier.
At this time I had even set up another home theatre 7.1 system (Denon Amp with 4 JBL in wall / ceiling 2-way satellites) and 2 Active Bang & Olufsen tower speakers alongwith a Polk sub-woofer. After doing as much optimizing as I could with the Denon (Which is a far more advanced receiver), I was not as impressed with the quality of sound from this other set-up. (My feeling is that the B&O were an unwanted set for this. The JBLs were awesome though.) So I actually found the Onkyo a much better quality of sound and easier set-up.
I got another system for my Dad - Marantz Receiver with Jamo satellites and a Paramount Sub-woofer. and I would rate this Onkyo system at par.
That being said, I utilized the receiver for direct audio from my iPod with the iPod adaptor that came with the Onkyo system. That was awesome as I was able to control my iPod through remote - selecting songs forwarding etc. - these capabilities are awesome).
Even the output selection is wonderful - from various modes of surround to plain stereo, and monaural (if people still use it.)
This system has been used for an average 7 hours every day since the time I got it about 3 years ago. and it's going strong !!
I even connected Turntables to the system receiver and it worked wonderful. No need to add a magnetic gain pre-amp for vinyl record turntables (thank God for that or I would've had to search for that piece of equipment.)
I must write that new DIGITAL home theater systems are made for people who have the patience of reading the instruction manual.... Otherwise they will not be happy campers !! These are no longer the easy to use Analog receivers. And in spite of that, Onkyo has still made it the easiest to use.
I have certainly changed my opinion for Onkyo --- I would buy their products more easily now.
Great quality and value for money.

This Onkyo product is exactly what I was looking for. A high quality receiver that I could operate from my iPad.  My primary music source is Pandora which is one of the built in apps, and I occasionally stream music from Amazon Music using Bluetooth.  It even includes preloaded capability for TuneIn radio, something I had never heard of, which lets me listen to hundreds of AM or FM stations over WiFi  Crystal clear with no antenna!!  My next test is to use a USB thumb drive as the music source.

Im powering a pair of older but restored JBL L36 speakers, and this receiver has ample power for rich sound.  Overall, Im very happy.

I did a bit of research before buying the Onkyo Tx-SR607 7.2-Channel A/V Surround Home Theatre Receiver. This was a replacement of my Denon 7.1 receiver that had been in my HT room for 6 or 7 years. The lack of HDMI ports forced me to look for a new receiver. I had almost bought an Onkyo instead of the Denon back then. The Denon turned out to be just OK (relative to this new receiver)with hard to understand userguide and poor setup procedures.

The Onkyo is the opposite, quick connection and setup. I was really happy with the Audyssey 2EQ which does an auto evaluation of your speakers and environment setting the audio to the best settings. Simply put the provided microphone at ear level where you sit and launch the setup. I had in the past used my handy dandy Radio Shack sound meter to manually set the volume on the 7.1 speakers.

The resulting sound is noticably more defined. This receiver brought new life to my sound system and HT room. Even my wife noticed who is not one to pay attention to sound quality....

As I had read the Onkyo runs a little hotter than my Denon but that seems to be normal.

All and all I am happy with the price and performance and would buy again.

Can wait to install this. Have an Onkyo receiver with Polk Audio Signature speaker system. Saw several pictures and reviews and had to get it!
This will really simplify my living room home theater installation!

Got the Onkyo even though there are cheaper alternatives which offer the around the same bells and whistels, - but reading their reviews and owners having problems with firmware updates on the other systems, I finally chose Onkyo because I already owned a previous receiver made by them and had no issues.

This system has ARC (audio return channel) which allows communication from other TV's with ARC HDMI inputs, - i won't get into how useful this is but to make a long story short, it allows the TV to send audio through the hdmi without having another optical cable going to your system - it also allows you to control the volume with the TV remote.  This system is also one of the rare (as of yet) systems to have Spotify streaming built in.  The sound is magnificent and setup was very easy.  There is one thing that's not really much of a complaint, - you need a TV stand or Media center that can hold this thing as it is LARGE.

Very impressed with this product it is worth every penny.

Chose this factory refurbished Denon over the new Onkyo TRN626 (same price) because Onkyo quality has become terrible in recent years according to the masses. I was worried that maybe I would have problems getting refurbished. Turns out the only problem (I thought) I had was because I wasn't waiting long enough for the setup mic to start its process (takes about 45 seconds and I thought it was locked up).

The Audyssey setup was very impressive (see attached photos of setup process). It even knew at the beginning that I had swapped the speaker ( + / - ) wires accidentally. I used the included mic and cardboard rocket ship stand around my listening area and it measured the feet and inches from each speaker to the ear, adjusted levels, and even set the crossover frequency of my Klipsch Quintet III speakers (120Hz and it got it exactly right).

Setup led me through connecting and naming my inputs (used all 6 HDMIs in and 1 out to TV), then connected my iPhone to the Denon right from my phone (Airplay, never used it before), and finally connected to the WiFi network using the phones connection. I didn't even have to enter my WiFi password.

I tried out all the inputs including optical and digital coax to make sure they worked before leaving it all as HDMI. It has 2 of the rear ports that do 4K, but I don't have a 4K unit. I am using all 5 rear HDMI (DirecTV DVR, PS3,PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One) and the front extra HDMI (FireTv) so it had just enough to go completely HDMI and a single cable to the TV which I love. The HDMI pass-through works great too. With the receiver off I can still use the TV if I need other functionality. The switching works great, haven't had any drop outs or video issues and the Denon even overlays the menus on screen over what you are watching.

It says "DirecTV","Xbox One", etc. on the panel when it switches sources. It also switches the surround mode appropriately (Stereo, Dolby, DTS, Multi-Channel). The sound is great in all modes

The unit was packaged excellently with strong foam supporting it in the box, plastic wrapping sealed, with new remote, setup mic, antennas, batteries and instruction packets. The unit was 99.9% unblemished (shiny, smooth, black, no fingerprints) with a tiny little fingernail-sized nick on the side, which no one will ever see. The back panel is spacious and solid. Connections were easy to make, even using all the speaker ports and HDMI ports.

This unit works great with the Harmony 700 remote we purchased to replace all the others (which it does and is amazing). We have a single button touch to swap TV, gaming, and movies and it appropriately powers/shuts off everything it needs to.

I am very happy with my purchase and would highly recommend this to anyone else.

This unit was shipped securely and in a timely fashion. I replaced a 15 year old Dolby pro logic Optimus receiver with this unit. I am currently only running two main front speakers and a center channel. This unit has a very refined sound, and the overall audio quality is extremely good. You can always tell how good an amplifier is by how well it sounds, not only at high volume but also at low volume. With that being said, my old receiver was a 200 watt unit and delivered enough power to my Optimus 990 speakers to rattle the windows! My neighbors would complain if I turned the volume over half way. This Onkyo unit has the power but I haven't been able to get it to deliver it yet. Perhaps I'm doing something wrong in the setup? When I play music from Bluetooth it is even lower volume. I have noticed that I need the volume setting at around 50% just to hear the voices from normal tv operation. I'm sure that it has something to do with setup and I plan to call the special phone number given to Onkyo "RZ" model customers. The unit is very nice and has functionality for days. I consider myself somewhat of an AV enthuist and having been a Radio Shack Manager for over 15 years, I feel that I know enough to be dangerous. I will hold out judgment until I set up my Atmos 5.1.2 configuration and become more familiar with the settings on this unit.

Not enough room to say how great I think this receiver is. Just buy it, you'll be glad you did.

I use this on my Onkyo TX-NR646 AV receiver w/ 14 gauge speaker wire.  They make setting up a receiver so easy.

I love these banana plugs. They are super easy to install. Just watch the video on the Amazon website or on YouTube.  Anyone can connect these in no time.

These are very heavy duty and high-quality...you can tell they're well-made.

I'd recommend picking these up right away.

Exactly what I expected from Onkyo.
Good looks, more than enough power for an average room and the features I want.
And the remote control controls other Onkyo components !
Shipping was quick as lightening and it was packaged adequately.

After researching Home theater receivers I was down to 3 different brands and opted for the Onkyo TX-SR606. They certainly have newer models available now and I would not hesitate to purchase another Onkyo. Setup, the instructions, the quality of sound is all top notch. Not to mention I have had this receiver for a very long time and never had a problem with it. I have recommend to a friend
