Onkyo TX-SR607 review: Onkyo TX-SR607

Onkyo TX-SR607

Excellent sound quality; six HDMI inputs, including a front panel input; onboard Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio decoding; Sirius-ready; upconverts analog video signal to 1080i; automatic speaker calibration.

Analog video upconversion is poor; no true graphical user interface; no 7.1 analog inputs; no S-Video inputs; big and boxy design; Dolby Pro Logic IIz doesn't have much audible effect.

If you can overlook its poor analog video conversion, the Onkyo TX-SR607 offers up a ton of HDMI connectivity and excellent sound quality for a midrange AV receiver.

Onkyo TX-SR607 7.1 A/V Receiver

I have to admit, I'm a sucker when it comes to having the latest and greatest toys. As my wife can attest, I'm always looking for excuses that will allow me to spring for that next upgrade. In recent years, Onkyo has been at the forefront of new A/V...

During the course of this review, I had to continually remind myself that this was only a $599 receiver. The core performance of the 607 on 2-channel audio and movie soundtracks is simply excellent and should satisfy all but the most discerning...

PLAYBACK 23: Onkyo TX-SR607 A/V Receiver

Over the years I've become something of a student of Onkyo A/V receivers, largely because I've been impressed by the overall value they offer, their ease of use, and—especially—by their much better than average analog audio sound quality (a...

Onkyo TX-SR607 A/V Receiver

The Onkyo TX-SR607 is the first A/V receiver to feature Dolby Pro Logic IIz, which adds front height channels to the existing 5.1- and 7.1-channel configurations. Now gird yourself for deep background and fierce opinion mongering.

Onkyo TX-SR607 A/V Receiver

Now the Pro Logic family has acquired a new member. Dolby Pro Logic IIz, like its siblings, is not strictly an encode/decode format like Dolby Digital. Rather, it operates as a listening mode on top of that. It does not deliver discrete height...

Onkyo TX-SR607 review

Onkyo has crammed its new mid-range AVRs with features, including Dolby's new 'height' channel processing.

Excellent OS ; Lengthy feature set ; Twin subwoofer outputs ; Bi-amped sound quality

Dolby Pro Logic IIz is a mixed blessing

A very good amplifier with a lot of features to play with. The bi-amped sound quality is excellent and has twin subwoofer outputs to boot

Onkyo TX-SR607 review

Not the most agile amp at this price-point, but the Onkyo is still an appealing, feature-packed machine with plenty of clout

Exciting sound ; powerful, muscular bass ; six HDMI inputs

Not the last word in subtlety or refinement

A real belter. One for fans of action flicks, not those who prefer a softly, softly approach

Luckily, these issues only occur if you're trying to upconvert analog signals to 1080i. Instead, you can set the TX-SR607 to "through" mode, which means the TX-SR607 will convert the analog signals to HDMI, but leave it at 480i for your HDTV to do the...
