Customer Review

Best Customer Review : 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.


Customer Review 1 : Hard to Beat... Lot of Bang for the Buck - J. Moritz -
For a LR/FR home theater set up this is a great Receiver. It does everything as promised and it does it very well. You don't need a lot of power to drive most home theater speakers that are sold today. I use this unit in my Greatroom and I am very pleased with it. In my theater room which is a true home theater set-up I use the Onkyo 907 with 140 watts. Onkyo's do run on the warm side so be sure they are well ventilated. There are several sub 0 Receivers out there but I think that Onkyo gives you good quality for your money.



Customer Review 2 : Good Value - S. Block - Houston, Texas
Overall, this receiver is pretty good. I replaced a Denon AVR-2805 because I needed HDMI switching and upconversion.

Pros:
1) The sound is much improved. The included microphone and auto-calibrate routine did a great job of optimizing the surround sound settings for our existing 5.1 speaker system. This is installed in a large open family room with wood floors, and I always had problems getting clear voices at low volumes in the past. It sounds great now!

Cons:
1) No On-Screen-Display at 1080p. I was shocked at this. If I switch to 720p the volume OSD works fine.
The "menu" screens will replace the video stream, there is no overlay. Also, the menu switches from 1080p to VGA output. This causes a large delay, and forces the TV to switch display formats.

2) No S-Video inputs. I used mostly S-video inputs on my old receiver. I had to re-wire all of my old (non-hdmi) sources with component video or downgrade to composite cables.
