Most A/V receivers have seven audio channels for reasons that date back to 1999 and are all but forgotten. The original rationale for adding two channels to surround sound’s basic 5.1 footprint was to accommodate back-surround speakers for THX Surround...

Big, large-scale sound ; Nicely balanced ; Decent punch, power and attack ; Dolby Atmos sounds impressive

Lacks detail and solidity

A well-featured, decent performing amp, but no class-leader

Ok till.....

HDMI Output started cutting off till finally not working at all

Smaller foot print than my NR-809, which is why I bought the 545, the 809 won't fit in my new console cabinet. Easy to setup everything. Surround setup was about the same as the 809, just a different type of microphone. Remote buttons now have a...

Miss the power of the 809, the 545 does not have near the power to rattle windows as the 809, but then I didn't expect it to. GUI has only changed slightly from the 809, not necessarily for the better or worse. Much slower to connect to the NET.

- Pretty easy set-up, all of the inputs and speaker connections are very clearly marked - Has those screw-down/banana-plug speaker connections, which I vastly prefer over the spring-clamps - Many different speaker layout options are possible, not just...

None so far

I read the reviews on this product and noticed one customer complained about not being to find any documentation on this receiver. The first sentence of the product description indicates it comes bundled with an Acoustimass system. I checked Bose's...

Easy to set up and use. The included brief getting started manual in english was all I needed.and got right to the point. Bluetooth was simple. Onkyo app (using Remote 3, for some reason there are 3 onkyo apps named 1,2,3)works great and easy, found my...

For the price, features, and sound quality, tough to beat this unit. No real cons I can think of. Only had it a week, so hope it lasts, but everything is great so far.
