Pros: This unit is very easy to set up (easy being a relative term of course), has a very good calibration system, lots of options, and very good features. One of my big reasons for getting this one over some of the cheaper ones is the streaming music - its so easy to just log in to your pandera account and stream music ! Also, I consider the solid state relays a pro. Anyone that understands electronics will appreciate an actual physical separation of the circuits, achieved with real solid state relays. When the sound source changes the circuit switches, causing the solid state relay to switch. This results in the "clicking" that people complain about. To be clear, this is ONLY a problem when watching TV, you will never have this happen in the middle of a movie, video game, CD, etc. And really, who watches TV anymore? I don't even have cable

Cons: If you use it for a very long time it does get a little hot. At the very min. never store something on top of it to keep the vents clear, but I actually bought a little computer fan to sit on top of it (which I don't even turn on unless I'm going to play FF13 for 16 hours straight).

Overall Review: Full 7.1 speaker system (going to set up the last 2 channels upstairs when I get around to it), so i don't use the highs or wides, but I have high end speakers (Definitive) that fill the room anyhow, so its not necessary. Mitsubishi HC5500 1080p projector on 100" screen. All hooked up to my Xbox360, PS3, and computer (all streamless easy hookups via HDMI). New visitors generally have their jaw drop off when I demonstrate the system, and this is the heart of it !

Pros: Great audio, Newegg Customer Service Representative was very helpful and courteous.

Cons: VIDEO: The HDMI video out cycles every 2-3 seconds between a good picture and a blank picture. Once in a while, there are video artifacts present. It made no difference on the HDMI input (Directv and blueray). Onkyo tech support could not help, even after resetting the receiver. The clicking sound others have mentioned is also a problem.

Overall Review: I have a RMA number and will return it for some other receiver.

Pros: Lots of power and audio options, plenty of options, crystal clear sound, networking ability, contains all new technology at alow price (except mechanical relays). Earlier I have tried TX-SR806, but it did not get video output for my Wii. Receiver is more flexible to control most of your Audio/Video equipment. I have bought this reveiver to replace my 5 years old SONY system. I bought it from NewEgg.com on a deal for $999. Great service and very quick shipping.

Cons: None as of now.

Overall Review: The remote does not have backlight. Over all, I am very satisfied and recommend this.

Pros: Flexiblity

Cons: List Price....

Overall Review: I've had this unit for 3 months and it is everything I had hoped it was and more. The unit is solid and not a chore to understand. The well written manual is easy to follow making set up a breeze. If you want this system with less power consider the 800 series model it has a little less power with most all of the features. New Egg had the best price on Black Friday...thanks I saved $600!

Pros: I have always been an Onkyo owner and this is the best receiver from them to date. It has so many features I have not used them all as to date. The sound is amazing no matter what speakers you hook up to them, either bookshelves or a full HT system up to the full 9.2 channels. I currently have a 7.2 system with heights. My current room does not have the room for wides so I have not tried them. I bought this receiver over the bigger 3007 and 5007 for the following reasons: I don't need the HQV for video processing, as my other equipment does the upscaling for me. There is only 10 watts per channel between this and the top model, not going to make a difference. USB, I will never use this feature.

Cons: Slight clicking when switching between modes. Firmware updates has helped this a lot though.

Overall Review: I love this thing!!!!!!!!!!!

Pros: Very good SQ. Lots of features. Lots of inputs. Very good auto calibration. Flexible speaker configurations. Internet radio works very well. Media streaming works great from all my PC's.

Cons: Lots of features :) One too few inputs :) (always is...) Remote sucks. Zone2-3 NET source has to be set on Zone1 first, irritating. Upconverting is only useful for 480 content, it seems to degrade 720 and 1080 content, you can set pass-through though.

Overall Review: I upgraded from an old Pioneer VSX-505S thats 15 years old. This is just an amazing device. I've used all the inputs except the front panel ones and setup my Harmony 890 Pro's to work every source on all three zones. Front Deck, Back Deck, and theater room all work perfectly! For under a grand, best bang for the buck by FAR!!!

Pros: Powerful. Wonderful for HT material.

Cons: Some HDMI handshake issues with some adapters/cables. No backlit remote.

Overall Review: This is an outstanding receiver. Having 9 channels at 135w per ROCKS. The upconversion, while not the fanciest on the market, it very well done. I love the ethernet port to listen to internet radio as well as to do firmware updates. This is well worth the price paid and I would recommend it to anyone.

Pros: This is a replacement unit for the one I was having issues with (see earlier review). Newegg shipped the replacement unit right away after they received my RMA and the total turn-around time was 1 week - which is excellent. This unit performs *much* better than the last one and doesn't suffer from the severe hum on the subwoofer output that I had before. New firmware version seems to add album art to Pandora.

Cons: To be very picky there is still a very slight interference from the analog video and analog audio input processing sections that causes a slight hum on the subwooder output whenever you connect a device that has both analog video and audio connections. However it is nothing as bad as before and can only be heard with the volume cranked up very high and no audio present. I can live with it.

Overall Review: I placed this in a cabinet to muffle the annoying mechanical relay click sounds. Onkyo really needs to work on this aspect of the design - especially since it clicks with each new track when playing internet audio such as Pandora.
