great bargain receiver
By D. Schillinger
I did a lot of research (including Consumer Reports) and settled on this Onkyo as the best compromise between performance and price. I've had it 2 weeks now and am very happy.The auto setup function works better than a much-more expensive Denon unit I set up for a friend. I used the microphone (included) to measure speaker levels at 3 different locations in the room and the Onkyo did everything else. (It's connected to some older Polk speakers-- they sound so much better through this amp!)I bought this primarily to process audio from our new BluRay player and the Onkyo does an outstanding job. The sound is better than in most movie theaters! Especially BluRay DTS or HD Master. Wish more movies were recorded in these formats.We also have our DirecTV HD DVR hooked up to the Onkyo. Audio and video travel through the HDMI Cables, so there's no need to hook up audio separately. Very nice and a feature you will find missing from some more expensive amps.The amp does get very warm. I put a small fan in the back of the cabinet and that seems to help.BTW although this is a 5.1 channel amp is DOES support 7.1 if you want the 2 extra rear speakers... you just have to hook it up to your old amp (or any cheap 2-channel amp) and process those 2 channels that way. The 7.1 decoding IS built into this box.I am not using the "Zone 2" feature but it's very unusual to have that in a receiver in this price range. You can watch a movie in one room while someone else listens to an iPod or FM in another room.I don't think you can find a better receiver in this price range (and keep an eye on the price-- it's falling!)

By M. Klimp
I am replacing my 17 year old Onkyo receiver and bought this after a bit of research. Much improved over the years and sounds better than the old unit. I love the sound and the easy setup. The instruction manual is great.I have a variety of components, some HDMI, some composite video, some digital video, etc. As mentioned in other reviews, this unit will only output the same format that is input. This means that if you have composite video in, you will need to output composite video. For my situation, this meant a variety of output cables and additional button pressing when switching between components (e.g. cable box to DVD player).Considering the cost of cables, I decided to go with the TX-SR607 because it converts all inputs to HDMI output. This means no adjustments to the TV input when switching components and no additional cables. Wish I knew this before I ordered the product and thought I would share my experience.If all of my components were HDMI I would certainly choose this receiver.

Great reciever, easy setup, less cables
By jray
Just got this TX-SR507 set up.Here are some initial impressions. The setup is very easy and fast. Had all the connections complete in less than 15 minutes. Despite some misinformation out there this receiever is not HDMI passthrough for audio. Instead it has HDMI repeater technology. This is way way better than pass through. What this HDMI repeater technology allows you to do is to run a SINGLE HDMI cable from each source (cable box, blueray, dvd player, roku box, or any other device that has hdmi out) to the reciever (you can hook up all the items into this as its loaded with HDMI inputs. From the receiver you run a SINGLE HDMI cable to your TV. Meanwhile the audio is processed by the reciever and sent out to your surround sound system. No additional toslink or analog cables needed. This feature alone is worth the extra to buy this unit. If it was only HDMI passthrough you would need to run separate cables for your surround sound in addition to the HDMI to get your audio output from the reciever to your surround sound system. You can set up inputs on this receiver to pass the audio along to your TV but why would you want to do that.Another great feature is the Audyssey speaker setup mic included. It measures several listening positions in the room and optimizes the audio output for each speaker in your system. This also is super easy to do and other than moving the included mic around and pushing the enter button on the remote you just sit back and let it do the rest.I have this set up with a Martin Logan sub and Klipsch SL speaker system and it sounds great for both music and HT use. This blows away the out of the box HT systems although it costs a little more to get it all together.This receiver does not disappoint and runs cooler than my old Sony receiver. I have read that some say the Onkyos run hot but not an issue for the 507. The only thing i wish this had was a satelite radio tuner built in but other than that it has everything needed to pull everything together. Price was very reasonable considering all the HDMI connectivity this unit has.One thing i would recommend is getting a Harmony remote to add the icing on the cake. Nothing better than pushing one button to get any activity started without having to fumble through 3 or 4 remotes and then one button to shut all the components off when done.
