Onkyo TX-NR818

 

A/V receivers have become so powerful and feature rich over the last few years that upgrade decisions have become increasingly difficult to justify. But if you have a large collection of DVDs or use services like Netflix or Vudu to stream movies from...

Excellent audio performance ; Exceptional video upscaling ; THX Select2 Plus certified

Grey-on-black labels are very difficult to read ; No AirPlay support ; No digital outputs to support outboard DAC

Listening to the percussion-heavy “Piano Smasher,” from Blue Man Group’s DVD The Complex, made me us as though we were about to personally reenact the chest-burst scene from Alien.

One key con you missed on this receiver is that it cannot output any digital inputs to zones2/3, only analog sources. You can send a network or USB source to those zones, but not from any digital source connection on the back panel. So no HDMI, no...

Great sounding receiver!

 

I bought this receiver for my recently renovated basement tv room. I played around with the receiver a bit before using the MultEQ XT32 calibration to see if there would be much improvement. Before calibrating I played some music and watched a few...

Excellent Sound, Easy setup

 

Very easy to set up, lots of input options. The Audyssey setup was a cinch. A few minor tweaks for my room and movies sound amazing. Very happy with my purchase.

Awesome service

 

Really enjoying this product. One minor issue is the overlay interface has a small delay, but I only needed to use it for setup. This was my first order with JR & I am really impressed. I phoned them to order and was done in less than a minute. The...

Great upgrade !

 

After many years of great service, on two different continents, shipped around and bounced around (and even dropped once- H A R D !), my Onkyo 805 finally failed - HDMI card died. I had a choice: Pay the $$$ to repair the HDMI card, or purchase a new...

Delivers fantastic clean low end ; Quiet cooling fans ; Seven HDMI connections ; great tools to fine-tune sound ; futureproof: 4000K and 3D

Only seven HDMI connections ; no S-Video connectors

No True 9 Channel Output - Even With Seperate Amplifiers

 

From page 13 of the 818 owners manual we read: Speaker Configuration "Front high, surround back and front wide speakers cannot be used at the same time." Does this mean the receiver only has enough processing power to generate/route any one of these...

Great Receiver But Poor Quality Control

 

I ordered the Onkyo TX-NR818 from Best Buy. In two days it was at my store in Harrisburg ready for me to pick up.Before I did anything, I updated the firmware to the latest version, then set the receiver up. I noticed that there was a constant static...
