More about THX-
THX ensures what you hear through this Onkyo is precisely what was recorded. Select2 Plus certification is specified for rooms where the screen-to-seat viewing distance is ten to twelve feet, and the room volume is around 2000 cubic feet. To achieve THX certification, the TX-NR616 had to meet the most demanding standards for home cinema audio quality and performance.

Instaprevue
Easy, Live Source Selection
This receiver incorporates InstaPrevue visual port management technology, making input source selection much easier. InstaPrevue provides a live video thumbnail of the available content on your devices connected via HDMI. You no longer have to remember that your gaming console is connected to Port 3, or your BD player to Port 1, for example- you can see what's playing and choose accordingly.


MHL
Watch Your Smartphone Content on TV
The front-panel HDMI port is designed for the connection of mobile phones and other portable electronic devices using the new MHL standard.

Direct Digital Connection: The Cleanest Your iPod Can Sound
The front-panel USB port lets you play MP3 and AAC stored in an iPod/iPhone, and MP3, WMA, AAC, and FLAC audio files stored on a flash-memory device, and you can use the system's own remote for track selection and playback. Your music will sound much cleaner and clearer, as the audio signal is transported in digital rather than analog form through the direct digital connection.

Have an Apple TV? The Onkyo remote is preset to control Apple TV.
Use it with your Onkyo A/V Receiver. It's all integrated, and it all works together beautifully.

Free Apps: Seamless Control & Streaming
The Onkyo Remote App 2 for iPod touch/iPhone¹ and Onkyo Remote for Android² and Kindle Fire provide an intuitive way to operate Onkyo network A/V receivers. Control input sources, adjust settings, and play audio stored in a smartphone wirelessly (Android and Kindle Fire only) using the application's interactive graphical display. The Remote Apps are available separately as free downloads.


Audyssey for Onkyo
Audyssey Room Correction: You'll Hear The Difference
  • Audyssey 2EQ tailors multi-channel audio for your home theater speaker set-up by measuring three room positions and applying a resolution filter to the satellite speakers to correct for room acoustics.
  • Audyssey Dynamic EQ® maintains a consistent bass response, tonal balance, and surround-sound effect at different volume levels, so you can enjoy the natural dynamics of your content regardless of the volume.
  • Audyssey Dynamic Volume® automatically compensates for volume fluctuations in different audio content, for example, during commercial breaks, while optimizing the dynamic range.

Onkyo is energy efficient
Save Power With Hybrid Standby
Hybrid Standby provides 'HDMI through' functionality while the receiver sleeps, so you don't have to fully power up to watch a Blu-ray or play a game using just your TV's sound. The receiver also maintains a local network connection when on Hybrid Standby mode, so you can switch the unit on at any time using the Onkyo remote apps for iPod touch/iPhone and Android.

5 out of 5 eggsLike a half price Mercedes

Pros: Has the feature of much more expensive AVR's
Everything works flawlessly
Wireless works perfect even in a closed cabinet 30 feet and three walls away.
Love the iphone app and with CEC I never need the Onkyo remote.
Three zones is unheard of at the street price
THX Certified
second HDMI out is fantastic
8 HDMI's is unprecedented...even the 626 has fewer
$20 wifi dongle

Cons: Audyssey 2EQ...MultiEQ obviously is better

Other Thoughts: This AVR is the best deal I've gotten on anything in a long time. I was waiting for the sky to fall with the reviews but it's been flawless. My Energy Take 5.1 system sounds very nice. Initial firmware update performed before connecting anything. Firmware update takes 2 minutes.
The sheer value of this AVR has me scratching my head. A side by side comparison of receivers substantially higher priced and this gives nothing away.

5 out of 5 eggsexcellent reciever

Pros: great sound. I am using polk speakers and am just amazed at the sound that is coming out. The %.1 is sounding great I can not wait to here what blue ray and 7.1 one is going to sound like.
But even better is the music the instrumental and vocals are blended excellently and the transfer from midlevel base to the sub is seamless. I have not seen any of the problems mentioned.

Cons: I don't like the lack of written hand book. I am just old school and like having the book in my hand. Will probably have to print it off at some point.

4 out of 5 eggsGood review in a sea of bad

Pros: As advertised! Easy to hook up. Tuned the speakers in a few minutes. Love the updated on screen menus.

Cons: None so far. Was a bit quite at first but made some adjustments and now it is perfect.

Other Thoughts: I am glad I read through all the reviews to find that Onkyo had fixed most of the problems when this first came out. We shall see how this works out in the long run. I did purchase the extended warranty, something I never do, but why not be safe. My old 505 Onkyo's HDMI switch did go out right before the warranty. I think it is going out again. So buying the extended warranty should protect me from bad switches. However, I did notice they installed a fan on the newer Onkyo, my guess is because the heat was killing the old ones.

4 out of 5 eggsNot Perfect, but for the Price **NEW FORWARE 4/11/13***

Pros: The features and ports available.

Cons: My receiver had worked flawlessly since I bought it from NewEgg in November. (I immediately updated to the October firmware.) So this month I decided to play around with the settings and turn on the "HDMI through" option. a day later I lost video and had to reset the receiver.

Now there is an update for this problem as well, released 4/11/13

The update must be done via USB so head to Onkyo's website and get it.

NOTE... another user posted here about the update process... he is incorrect. unzip the new firmware package and copy EVERYTHING to the USB drive.

5 out of 5 eggslatest firmware installed

Pros: Latest Firmware installed from factory. Works flawlessly. replaced a tx sr 608 and much easier to navigate menus and listening modes. worth the upgrade from earlier onkyo at the right price point. There are 4 hdmi devices attached to this receiver, no issues. added usb wifi ...works fine.

Cons: runs warm give it room to breathe. Since there have been bad units,I advise testing all features on this item which is time consuming.

Other Thoughts: manufacturer and newegg offer extended plans. I would suggest it for this model,due to its earlier issues.

1 out of 5 eggsBuggy eve after update

Pros: powerful system. good network features.

Cons: Even after the newest update, the HDMI ports don't work properly. It takes forever for the TV to come on and the audio glitches like crazy.

Other Thoughts: I bought this receiver because it was on sale. I figured I would give it a shot. Sad to say that the problems previously stated were never fixed. Don't waste your time in purchasing this receiver because you're going to end up paying $50 to ship it back. I bought the Yamaha 673 and love it. No problems at all. Save yourself the headache.

1 out of 5 eggsDO NOT BUY!

Pros: Easy to set up. Sounds great

Cons: Stopped working altogether after 5 months

Other Thoughts: DO NOT BUY THIS RECEIVER!! After 5 months of working flawlessly, this receiver suddenly started to make popping noises and proceeded to start smoking! I was lucky to be home to pull the plug and prevent a fire. Search the Internet for problems with this unit. The same malfunction I mention here has been documented by others
