Onkyo TX-SR705 7.1 Channel Home Theater Receiver Review
|
|

After a considerable amount of research and investigating several different Home Theater options such as HTIB, Bose 321, and high end and low end component solutions, I finally stumbled across the HDMI Onkyo Home Theatre line. This was the only affordable option that included all of the functions that I was looking for (7.1, On Board lossless signal decoding, Multi HDMI connectivity and pass thru, power, etc.). It's been 10 months, and the unit has yet to disappoint. I have several components hooked up to this receiver: a Denon upconverting dvd player, Samsung LNT4665 Flat Panel, Verizon's lame motorola box (all connected via HDMI) a PS2 (via component cables) and a cd changer (via composite). Switching between these components is a simple press of the remote. I've had no handshaking issues. A word of caution is that this unit gets really hot. I had to relocate it to a separate section of my home theatre console, so it had plenty of top clearance. I'm currently running as a 5.1 system; paired up with two Polk Monitor 50 speakers, a Polk CSi3 Center Speaker, two cheap surrounds (until I can pick up the Polk Dipoles), and a Sub. Whether it is music or movie sound tracks, this system rocks. I can clearly hear the highs and lows without any problems. Our neighbor spent a thousand on a high end receiver from Best Buy that has the same functionality and performance as this one. for the same money, I was able to pick up some new speakers.

Runs cool. Setup is relatively simple. Integrated easily with my Samsung DLP, Samsung DVD, and DirecTV receiver. Product met all of my expectations. I have used this product for 7 months with no problems.

This receiver has decent power, tons of inputs, and proper HDMI switching. Speaker calibration is a snap using the included mic. The only minor complaint I have is that it sometimes does not respond to commands from my Harmony 670 remote. I don't know if this is an issue with the Onkyo's remote sensor, or if the Harmony is not doing what it should. Based on previous experience with Onkyo's remote, I suspect the 705 is not getting the remote commands because its sensor seemed to have a fairly narrow field of view.

Price was right, lots of nice features but after a month it stopped passing 1080p video to the tv. Had to send it in to onkyo and it is going to take another month to fix it. Sounds like they're backlogged fixing their junk! I wish I'd bought the Denon!
