TX-SR708 suddenly gone before release due to errors in 308, 508, etc? If I am getting Paradigm Cinema 90 speaker set, will it matter whether I get Onkyo SR707 or NR807 or NR1007?

Care to post the specs? I'm thinking about getting a 708 whenever it comes out and would really like to see the specs to compare it to the 608.

The 838 would operate in 5.1 channel plus one pair ceiling or height speakers when operating in Atmos. I have 9 speakers connected, upgraded to Atmos, and threw on the latest Transformers bluray recorded in Atmos....absolutely blew me away, made a decent movie amazing. Everyone who has heard the Atmos has been amazed, certainly seems to use all available speakers. Google onkyodolbyatmos.com for more info. I absolutely love this receiver, though I do not fully understand how it works....it really works.

Steven L, if you read my review of this player, you should know that the other player to which I referred was the Onkyo 7030. I set them up and did an A:B comparison. With most discs, the differences were barely perceptible. On a few, the Yamaha sounded just a tiny bit "muddy" when compared to the Onkyo. My wife was unable to discern any differences. Both are excellent players. But if it helps your decision making process about getting one of these to add to your "stack," be aware that I am returning the Yamaha and getting a 2nd Onkyo.

I am curious about this system. I have a very small room with only the ability to set up the the front (L+R), center, sub, and rear (L+R). The room does not allow for the set up of what Onkyo refers to as "surround L + R" which are supposed to be set up on the sides of the listening position. Will the receiver provide a decent decoding if I am using the speakers in a straight 5.1 type setup? I am guessing this is what the first post was asking but I just wanted to clarify that rear speakers will still be used and only the side "surround" speakers omitted.

Hey everyone,I just purchased this system and wanted to jump in. I'm using the Sony STR-DG820 as my receiver and have SS-B1000 bookshelf speakers as my fronts. I bought this system to use as the remainder of a 7.1 channel setup. Polk seemed to recommend the setup that Schor talked about when using their satellites in the package as front speakers. Would anyone recommend this setup with the larger bookshelf speakers or would using the sub-out on the receiver be better? Any thoughts? Thanks

Hey Dennis,Did you tinker with the speaker setting on the BD player? Does it still only sound like 2.0 stereo?let me know, Im going over to my nephews house tomorrow, he has the same Onkyo SR550, and I will check his settings for you.Tom

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.

Does the onkyo txnr-828 have pre outs? You should have rca out that says center, front right, front left etc... You would just run a single rca cable to each of the rca inputs on the amp from left and right channel output on onkyo.. You would then use speaker wire to connect amp to speakers. I am using this amp to power polk subwoofers that the amps burned up. I am running the subs as passive(no internal amp) and this amp is doing a really nice job. If you wanted, you could bi amp the speakers by running the amp in mono mode, you would then need 2 amps, one for each speaker. I am quite pleased with the performance of this amp to date.

Hi,I bought the Dayton Audio HTS-1200B home theater speaker set plus SAT-BK Satellite speaker pair to make them work with my ONKYO TN-XR626 7.2, all associated with a subwoofer Canton AS 85.2 Aktiver (200/250Watt, made in Germany). What I can say is that it makes the effect of a bomb. I am fully satisfied with these little speakers.

Here's the one I got for it. Works great and sounds amazing. Onkyo TX-SR604 7.1 Channel A/V Receiver (Black) (Discontinued by Manufacturer) by Onkyo Onkyo TX-SR604 7.1 Channel A/V Receiver (Black) (Discontinued by Manufacturer)

i set up the "before" receiver, which was just an older onkyo 2-channel stereo receiver, and the new receiver (820). the 820 sounds good, but it doesn't sound as full, nor as deep, as the onkyo. i think it must just have internal settings that don't allow it to send those deepest bass tones to the front speakers, because i tweaked every possible thing. i appreciate the help though...and i've definitely had the wires crossed before as well -- makes a huge difference

I can't say anything specific about that problem what I can tell you is that these were a known faulty product from onkyo. It was the first and last onkyo receiver I bought. My receiver went bad after a little over a year of use. Went back to Sony and it's all I buy.

Andrew:>Got to upgrade the receiver for the HD, at which point I'll just use the HDMI. As for what you guys are discussing, maybe the manual is outdated, since a firmware update enabled this unit to output the DTS-HD Master Audio Decoding via the HDMI, without having to go the analog route.Yeah. I would go ahead and upgrade; there are so many good deals on quality receivers right now. I have an Onkyo TX-SR706 with everything I need. I've had it for a week now and it blows me away.

Hello out there!I was wondering if anyone else has had any problems with this Yamaha receiver RX-V665!!! My unit shuts off when I increase the volume and when I use the speaker optimizer. The manual and "Yamaha Live" techs attribute this to my speaker connections. I have checked and rechecked, cut, twisted and tightened my connections over the past 3 months with no results. My older JVC receiver runs my speakers just fine. I recently was sent a replacement receiver and the problem persists. Are these receivers useless??

I bought my TX-SR806 on 03/16/09 for 639.00. I was watching prices for awhile and finally dropped the hammer. It seems I finally made a good decision. I am now reading the manual. That is always fun. I ran the Audyssey set up and received no error messages, so I suppose it was done correctly. I am not really happy with the bass of my system. I bought a Polk RM95 5 pack and the PSW111 subwoofer. Still studying the Polk manual on subwoofer hook up. Charles
