Onkyo TX-SR805 (black)

Three HDMI 1.3 inputs; converts analog video sources to HDMI; onboard Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio decoding; THX Neural surround processing; XM- and Sirius-ready; automatic speaker calibration; switches as many as six 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; current crop of high-def disc players lack bit-stream output, which is needed to utilize the receiv...

The Onkyo TX-SR805 is an all-around excellent AV receiver with plenty of audiophile appeal, but its less-than-ideal video performance may give HDTV aficionados a reason to hold out for higher-end alternatives.

Onkyo TX-SR805 review

By Alan Stafford, (pcadvisor.co.uk)

The Onkyo TX-SR805 is a home-theatre receiver that can decode HD audio formats, and produces the best audio we've heard outside of a cinema.

The Onkyo TX-SR805 is an impressive product. Compared with other receivers in or out of its price range, it's a steal. Some audiophiles may sneer at the TX-SR805, because Onkyo is a midtier brand. It's certainly no NAD or Mcintosh, for example. But the On...

The Onkyo is THX Ultra 2-certified. Badge hunters rejoice!

"Quality for the money! Better than Elite!"

Great build quality and workmanship. Excellent sound production and video processing. Nicely equipped sound calibration microphone with great processing power. Nice on screen menu that isn't over done.

Might be heavy for some, not enough HDMI ports,

"Has really annoying audio delay problem"

By yudansha (cnet.com)

This receiver never should have been allowed ... 

Great sound

The sound is delayed (even when set to zero delay), and you can't make it match the screen; Onkyo has no repair center west of Colorado, and they charge you for shipment both ways.
