Onkyo TX-NR5008 Networked AV Receiver First Look

 

Onkyo has begun refreshing its line up of receivers and at the top of the heap is the new TX-NR5008 networked model, updating the TX-NR5007. A few years back, with the advent of lossless audio formats to compliment HD video, Onkyo jumped ahead of the...

Although, not a huge upgrade in features from its predecessor, the TX-NR5007 which already had just about every feature known to A/V receivers, the TX-NR5008 does have several notable improvements. The HDMI compliance has been updated to 1.4a for 3D...

Onkyo TX-NR5008 A/V Receiver

 

So the red-felt-topped pool table with the Bud Light (get it?) lamp suspended above it in your man cave doesn't illicit “oohs” and “aahs” from visitors like it once did? Maybe it's time to re-create that 1980s Crazy Eddie's look by installing a...

Super Awesome Sound!

 

I fell in love with this receiver as soon as I set it up. The sound is crisp and clear, amazing detail in quality. Definitely well worth the investment, and an even sweeter deal for me, I happened to get it on sale.

The sound and options are amazing. This receiver has everything you could ever want. It's 3D capable, 9.2, multi-room/zone, streams internet radio without a PC, will connect directly to Windows Media Server, has multiple HDMI inputs, and has on-screen...

The only thing I don't like is the remote, it seems clumsy and awkward. With all the features packed into this receiver, a nicer remote control would have been appreciated. Not that the remote is horrible, it's pretty standard, just wish it would have...

Onkyo top line AV receiver, with known problem, fixed by Onkyo

 

This is the top rated AV Receiver from Onkyo, as reviewed by several specialty magazines. The unit was shipped as an open box unit from Amazon. Box and packing material were pretty beat up, but still OK. I connected everything, MUCH easier with HDMI...

Terrible Quality

 

I recently purchased this receiver from Amazon. The unit's extensive list of features made it an interesting product. However, after using the receiver for only 10 days, the unit suddenly stopped working. The unit will power on for about 5 seconds and...

Lasted 1.5 years

 

This unit worked well, as others have documented, for a year and a half. Last week it started to spontaneously switch function to the Cable/Sat input, regardless of what I selected. I unplugged it and let it sit for a few minutes, and it worked for a...

After five months it went south.......

 

Purchased this system after having the 805 for four years. Thought it would be a great unit for a dedicated theater. After initial installation system sounded terrific, set up was easy,, have the following on the system, Toshiba H-35 HD-DVD player,...

Buyers Beware!!!

 

Pros: Great specs, tons of features Cons: Reliability. The receiver has a design/manufacturing flaw that causes a module to stop working after a short time and requires a retrofit. YOU have to pay for shipping to one of Onkyo authorized service...
