Onkyo TX-SR606 (black) review

By Steve Guttenberg and Matthew Moskovciak

Four HDMI inputs ; onboard Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio decoding ; upconverts analog signals to 1080i over HDMI output ; Sirius-ready ; excellent automatic speaker calibration ; switches as many as six high-definition video sources ; improved ...

Poor video processing limits utility of HDMI upconversion for analog sources ; sounds better on movies than with music ; no phono input

The Onkyo TX-SR606 offers tons of functionality for the price, but subpar video processing and improved competition means it's less of a standout receiver than last year's version.

This year, Onkyo has released an updated model, the TX-SR606, and has made a great product even better, as it now sports four HDMI inputs and offers upconversion up to 1080i for analog signals. The Onkyo TX-SR606 then adjusts the channel volume...

Onkyo TX-SR606 Review

By Chris Chiarella

Time was, a receiver was simply that, a hub which received the signals from a variety of audio sources, amplified them and enabled them to share a single set of speakers. The advent...

Supports latest high-def audio formats ; plenty of power ; generous inputs ; good value

1080i upscaling could be better ; remote lacks a backlight

Well-featured, reasonably priced, and high-performance, the Onkyo TX-SR606 AV receiver is a sound investment. Onkyo had met the demand for an affordable, versatile home theater receiver with last year's TX-SR605, a truly impressive offering for...

Onkyo TX-SR606 AV receiver

By Jim Hill

The world's hottest AV receiver has had a facelift. After breathing new life into the moribund AVR market with the TX-SR605 last year, Onkyo has returned with a sequel product, the "400 TX-SR606. A cursory glance would indicate that there's little ...

What is all new for 2008 is 1080i upscaling, two more HDMI sockets, and Dynamic EQ tech. Connectability is very good for the price point; the four HDMI inputs give you the same flexibility that you would enjoy on a higher-end receiver. They can all ...

Preview: Onkyo TX-SR606

By Philip Wong

Like a bottle of exquisite French wine, the entry-level 600-series A/V receiver is continuously refined. Could this Onkyo end up another instant hit again?

 Though not perfect, the i780 is an excellent choice for those who want the most features in a sub-S$1,000 PDA-phone.

Last year, if someone wanted to buy an A/V receiver and wasn't flush with cash, our recommendation was easy--the Onkyo TX-SR605 offered an unparalleled feature set for the price and sounded great to boot. This year, Onkyo has released an updated...

Onkyo TX-SR606

We€™re still big fans of the TX-SR606, but new models from rival brands have seriously upped the ante

Solid specification ; simple to set up and operate ; muscular, invigorating sound

Not the final word in refinement and finesse

Onkyo TX-SR606

US Note: This is an automatic translation. The text can differ from the original review.

RX-V663 has almost all the inputs and outputs can potentially wish for, including the disc player input (MM). But it has only two HDMI inputs and a ditto end. Lite knapert given that HDMI has become the new video standard. Multi-Channel Output allows you...

Good dynamics; Very EUPHONIOUS, 4 HDMI inputs ;

No multi-channel output ;

Then came the HDMI standard, and all focus was on strengthening the video circuits. HDMI-switching was a necessity, the same applied decoding of audio via HDMI. But with the regular DVD format, there was really no great need for this, other than that it w...
