Onkyo's TX-NR616 is an incredible AV receiver value

 

Onkyo's midrange AV receiver is packed with eight HDMI inputs and a superlow street price of $410. What's the catch?

The ; is feature-packed, with eight HDMI inputs, dual HDMI outputs, built-in networking, and extensive streaming audio support, including Pandora, Spotify, Rhapsody, and Internet radio. Wi-Fi functionality can be added with a tiny, inexpensive USB...

Some users have complained about reliability problems. The eighth HDMI input cannot be accessed via direct button, only by navigating menus. And the TX-NR616 lacks built-in AirPlay.

The Onkyo TX-NR616 is a tremendous AV receiver value, with eight HDMI inputs and a very low street price, although Onkyo's step-down models may be an even better buy.

Onkyo TX-NR616 review

 

Browsing the prices for Onkyo's receivers can give you the familiar feeling of "too good to be true." Take the Onkyo TX-NR616. At its $410 street price it costs around $100 less than comparable models from other manufacturers, and it offers a...

"Save your money - do not buy"

 

The Onkyo TX-NR616 would be better used as a $600 door stop. By dropping the HDMI signal every few seconds, it renders the TV broadcast completely unwatchable. I have seen many mentions of the same problem online, so I am assuming there is a...

Constantly drops HDMI signal

"Poor quality and even poorer customer service"

 

I purchased my Onkyo TXNR616 in late December 2012 and received it in in early January 2013. It arrived with the latest firmware updates and ran well until mid-August when it blew. The repair depot quickly replaced the parts (2 1/2 weeks) that had...

Great price; lots of features (probably best bang for your buck out there).

Slow HDMI connecting; and horendous reliablity and customer service.

What the heck is C-net thinking.

 

The receiver keeps loosing HDMI connection to my PC. I don't understand why Cnet gave it such a good review. Even after FW update that was supposed to fix the issue, nothing got fixed. Never buying Onkyo again.

not very expensive

This receiver has major issues with HDMI

A great receiver with loads of features.

 

I am extremely pleased with this receiver. It is a perfect replacement for my old Yamaha RDX630 which served me for many years. It provides more than enough power for my DALI Zensor speakers, driving them with ease and beautiful clarity. The Audessy EQ...

This is a superb receiver and excellent value. I love the networking features and the vast array of connectivity options. It drives my DALI Zensor speaker system beautifully and with ease - I rarely have it above 55%.

Very few. The networking interface looks aged and isn't easy to use without the mobile app. Zone 2 connectors are low quality. Other buyers have reported HDMI issues.

Do NOT purchase this system...

 

I have now purchased 2 TX-NR616s for my home. The first I returned immediately as the HDMI pass through did not work at all, and with the system on it would drop HDMI signals frequently. My second unit worked out of the box, but within a couple of days...

Sounds and capabilities are great when working.

System does not work consistently.

Great Second Choice - Probably should have been first!

 

I originally bought the Harman-Kardon AVR 2650. It was simply amazing in both style and performance (in Blu-Ray). But when I watched HD sources (Cable, Satellite, OTA) a loud chirping noise was emitting through the speakers. H/K support was...

+ Great sound quality! + Multi-room support (really cool when entertaining) + Great price + Internet apps add new level of coolness + Android app is a bit clunky at first, but works well when you get the hang of it

- Up-scaling is so-so, not much of a fan, but I don't really use it that much as most of my devices are HDMI
