Worked great for 2 yrs. just like the rest of them (google for 'onkyo no sound problem'). They run hot all the time and people get a run around from Onkyo when they ask for repair/replacement. In 2 yrs. you will be looking at the half of the new cost for repair or another $900 for a new one! I am not buying anything from them EVER again, just like everyone else who got burned by this company! Trust me, I thought the same thing as you when I first read similar reviews. I thought what are the chances this could happen to me!? Guess what? It will!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Great sound. Very flexible. Runs everything!
What's not so great: Zone 2 control is a little complicated.
Everything I have tried works. Great features. The only trifle is that the Zone 2 controls are a little complicated.
This product has... Plenty of power for all my needs, Interfaces well with TV, Easy to use controls, Good multi-zone capability, produces very good sound.
About me... practical, Audiophile, Tech savvy

Great receiver for price, it was 799 when I bought it. I am running this with DefTech 8040 speakers and Epson 8350 projector. Both pic and sound from this receiver are awesome.

What's great about it: great price
What's not so great: GUI is unimaginative and clunky to navigate
This receiver is amazing! I've been researching new AVRs for several months now and this one was on the tops of my list. I finally picked it up and couldn't be happier. Great power for almost any speaker set up and can have 2 subs and also offers 2 HDMI outs for less than $1000. Great deal.

What's great about it: All the Apps and easy setup
What's not so great: Needs a good TV to really apreciate
Love how easy to set up, and the auto EQ setup with the microphone. All of the built in internet app's especially the one to connect to the music and play lists on my computer. This one competes with the Marantz I used to own, and as far as I am concerned blows it away at half the price!

I don't know. I've had several decent and a couple of higher end A/V surround systems going back twenty years. I've been playing around with this stuff since the 1970's, and have had some great sounding systems.
The rap on AV receivers has always been that the focus on Video sacrifices quality in the Audio area.
I bought the TX-NR709 three weeks ago and returned it today. I really couldn't get the music quality from it that I was seeking. The movie mode audio was good, no problem with that, but I could not obtain good bass balance trying several different music sources.
With a Blu-ray video source focused on speech, center channel action, surround channels and deep bass, I thought the receiver was fine. When I tried playing CD music, a phono record, or music downloaded at high quality settings, I really couldn't get what I was hoping to hear. So, I'll try a different brand and see if I can do better.
On the upside, the connectivity technology in this receiver is exceptional. I played with Pandora, Spotify and a DLNA connection to Itunes on my PC, and connecting was easy and the system worked well. The remote control was also the best I have ever used. It was very user friendly, had a lot of great features, and could operate all of my components pretty much flawlessly.
I'd recommend this receiver to people mostly interested in movies, video surround, and internet connectivity.

What's great about it: EVERYTHING!!POWER POWER POWER!!
What's not so great: NOTHING AT ALL
This is an awesome THX reciever with great power!! I have had this amp for 3 weeks with six 8inch inwall, two 8inch centers and twin 12inch JBL subs in my media room! 24x16 Theater. I crank up everything I can throw at this system and this reciever has plenty of power to spare! Great for Bluray sound! The beginning of Star Wars blows me right out of my theater seat! I tried a 7.1 channel Pioneer and this has more power and features. Buy this ONKYO 7.2 reciever and it will pay you back in the sound it produces. Great job ONKYO and BEST BUY!! I am also running a EPSON 8350 projector from BEST BUY. Also a great item!
I would recommend this to a friend!
