Onkyo TX-NR1009 THX Select2 Plus Networking Home Theater Receiver First Look

 

As manufacturers add more and more features to their receiver offering, it gets harder to impress the public. Onkyo has long been known to bring new features to market first. They do this again with the TX-NR1009, the first receiver with DTS Neo:X...

We've been mighty impressed with the recent offerings from Onkyo but we have to say that the TX-NR1009 has left is a little underwhelmed. When you compare it to the Onkyo TX-NR809, you have to look pretty hard to see where your extra $200 is going....

Onkyo TX-NR1009 9.2-Channel Network A/V Receiver

 

When one looks to upgrade an AVR, one must take much into consideration: features, number of inputs and outputs, multizone capability, channels of amplification, power rating, and, of course, cost. The sub-$1,000 market is loaded with AVRs that offer a...

Firmware updates are a double-edged sword for consumers. On the one hand, we can easily fix a faulty feature in our electronics by either downloading an update directly to the device or from the company’s website. On the other, it allows manufacturers...

Onkyo tx nr-1009 audio receiver

 

I have never owned one of the newer style receivers with multi HDMI connections and 9.2 channel capability. This Onkyo TX-NR1009 is very impressive and works very well with my Samsung 3D television. Installation was pretty easy, the instructions...

Overall Awesome Receiver

 

Ok, so I've had this unit for about 2 weeks now. I'm not going to lie. AT first I HATED it. Well, not completely at least. Let me explain myself.... I've had the TX-SR608 for about 2 years now. Before that, I had numerous HTIB's for my surround sound....

Upgraded from a TX-SR805

 

I upgraded from a TX-SR805 just so I could pass 3d signals over the hdmi inputs/outputs. I used my old receiver as my zone 2 amplifier connected via rca out on the TX-NR1009. *BE ADVISED* if you want to power zone 2 speakers through this receiver you...

Consumer review by:

The Burr-Brown Dac's in this unit...

 

I am seriously thinking about this receiver not just because it has the DTS-NEO but the Dac's are far better than the 809's which has "only" the TI Burr-Brown 1690's on each channel.. The 1009 contains the TI Burr-Brown 192 kHz/24-Bit DACs (PCM1690 and...

Fantastic Unit

 

I purchased the Onkyo TX-NR1009 to upgrade from an old Yamaha receiver and the sound is fabulous. I have Polk LSI speakers (15's, Center, FX and LSI 9's) and this receiver drives them extremely well. I bi-amped the main speakers and this is easy to do...
