Onkyo TX-SR605 (black)

By (cnet.com)

Two HDMI 1.3 inputs; converts analog video sources to HDMI; onboard Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio decoding; XM- and Sirius- ready; automatic speaker calibration; switches as many as five high-definition video sources.

Downconverts 1080i component video signals to 720p when outputting over HDMI; HDMI video quality converted from analog sources may not satisfy videophiles; Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio decoding cannot be used with current crop of high-definition v...

Onkyo TX-SR605

By Richard Arrowsmith (cnet.co.uk)

Onkyo's TX-SR605 AV recevier supports an incredibly advanced specification with outstanding performance, and it's an absolute steal, price-wise. Sound is beautifully composed and natural, using excellent integration and the seamless steering of ambient ef...

Future-proof specification including integrated HD audio decoding; advanced connectivity; automatic calibration system; HDMI video up-conversion; refined performance

If you're shopping for a smart phone on a budget, but don't want to compromis...

No other budget receiver gets close in terms of features or technology

Outstanding value; Barmy features count; HD-Audio decoding

Creaky remote control; Not the most powerful receiver

Operationally, the TX-SR605 is a dream to use. The setup is fully automatic and the system comes with basic Audyssey Room EQ. There is also a snazzy full-colour GUI which eclipses the blocky text menus of other similarly-priced receivers

But here sits the Onkyo TX-SR605, with a 400 quid price point. Even before it...

"Great Value for the Money!"

By krockls1 (cnet.com)

Definitely Worth the money. 

Excellent Audio Quality (rivals the quality I have come to expect from my Dad's $1000 Denon), HDMI 1.3, and bitstream audio compatible

video upconversion works, but lots of anomalies. Just use HDMI

"Incompatible with Motorola tuners"

By rocmama (cnet.com)

good sound

Onkyo receivers are not HDMI compatible with Motorola cable boxes!! Research this before you invest in a system!

After reading a few very negative recent revi... 

everything runs through it fine; nice to only have one data cable going to wall mounted TV

generates a fair amount of heat, probably good idea to keep well ventilated
