Yup I should have rephrased that better. The total power output should lower down proportionally based on the number of channels being driven.

Sharing an article on an older Onkyo 7-series
http://www.soundandvisionmag.com/article/onkyo-tx-sr706-av-receiver?page=0,2
To summarize, yes it can reach 70 to 80w easily while running 5-channels on an ok THD level but it won't be able to last for about 5 seconds before it clips when run continuously. That max 35w posted is even running on 4-ohms, just imagine how many watts it will get on 8-ohms. Please don't get me wrong, I'm not bashing Onkyo, I'm actually gonna get another one of their avrs, probably a 709 or an 809 in the future but I'm just not setting my expectations that high. Plus you are right, if your ears are satisfied with the performance of the AVR, good for you, you just saved a ton of money

Aside from what's already mentioned (number of channels driven and measurement tolerance for distortion), most AVRs are also measured for max output at 1kHz (instead of a full band 20Hz-20kHz spec). Dynamic headroom can also be very different.

JEITA numbers make me

at times.

Finally set-up my wife's 809. Pretty full and heavy sound quality out of the box. Sa next vacation nalang fine tuning ng settings but this AVR seems to rock hard. Wife is very happy.

Read this on High-Def Digest:

New Onkyo Receivers May Suffer From Defects – Free Repairs Offered

Onkyo says that the receivers that carry the non-safety related defect were made between November 2011 and January 2012.

First and foremost, nothing is wrong with the receivers that's dangerous. There won't be fires or sparks or anything like that. Onkyo says that there are two big issues here. The first is that the unit may turn off automatically right as you turn it on. The second is that you may be experiencing noise from the speakers when at low volume. Full list of affected receivers below:

TX-8050
TX-8255
TX-SR309
TX-NR609
HT-RC360
TX-NR709
TX-NR809
TX-NR1009
TX-NR5009
HT-S3400 (HT-R390)
HT-S7409 (TX-NR609)
HT-S8409 (TX-NR609)

Kinabahan ako Kasi kasama yung HTIB model nung sakin (HT-R390). Checked the website and entered the serial number, "your receiver does not need this update" daw.

ako din na-alarma dito, bigla ko tuloy nabisita yung likod ng 709 ko, 2011 made kasi yun. thank God 8th and 9th digits of the serial number read "1X"

been browsing around avsforums, when the press release came out there has been rejuvenated talk of how onkyo's QC is crap. based on my observation though, actual reports of owners experiencing the issue are quite few.

i ordered a 709 just last week before the recall came out, it was a "1Y" but fortunately after checking on the website, it reports that my unit should be fine. I'm hoping there's no issue once it gets here.

on other note though, TX-NR717 & TX-NR818 just announced...

Onkyo Mid-Range AVRs Deliver High-End Performance
http://onkyousa.com/press_releases.cfm?id=254

Good news: MultEQ XT32 on TX-NR818
Bad news: 2EQ on TX-NR717
More bad news: $100 price increase on MSRP ($999 for 717; $1,199 for 818)

Billabong · « **Reply #2715 on:** Mar 27, 2012 at 08:21 AM »

Sana yung higher Onkyo models (3XXX/5XXX) pag ni-release may audyssey calibration na better than MultieEQ XT32. Baka XT64?

rthirtyfourgtr · « **Reply #2716 on:** Mar 27, 2012 at 08:28 AM »

^ or maybe even Trinnov which has been said to be better (but prohibitively more expensive) than Audyssey

if they're bringing XT32 + 9.2 pre-outs down to the 818, TX-NR3010 & TX-NR5010 better have Audyssey Pro + 11.2 processing

Uy Bro kamusta ka na rin! You still haven't availed the freebies I offered. Hehehe. I won't forget how intimidating your SVS looked, but wife is really elated with the quality of your Infinity. Natapat lang na meron friend from Cainta who arranged for the balikbayan box shipment of our 809 to Manila when he toured the US last Xmas - nakulam ko rin syang bumili ng 809 kaya sabay kami. Took only about month to reach Manila from CA - very safe and buong buo ang package. Ayun hapi-hapi kami pareho.

Keep in touch Bro!

The 757 was one fine model. Honestly, I still find the Yamaha warmer sounding than Onkyo, but Onkyo has been offering good-grade modern AVRs at very tempting prices compared to their equivalent Yamaha models. The 809 sounds really nice out of the box - I like the heft of its sound, and it should even be better with proper calibration. But my wife never bothered to use YPAO even once and just kept it sealed, so I dont expect her to use Audyssey either. Basta buong-buo ang sound out of the box and maganda ang soundstage, ok na yon. Hehehe.

Mga sir sino na nakatry kung magkano yung charge sa service center ng onkyo?

Ang nangyari kasi last week nagstandby mode siya (due to protection circuit) kahit normal listening loudness lang... I think hindi naman shorted yung output dahil naka banana plug ako at natry ko na yung speaker sa ibang amp, ok naman...

Then ngayon hindi na siya nag o-on, wala na rin yung standby LED.

Nag oon lang at bumabalik yung standby LED pag tinanggal sa electric plug ng matagal (about 1 hour) pero namamatay uli after ilang minutes

Ganun parin kahit nakatanggal na lahat ng nakakabit sa kanya...

Sino na po naka encounter ng prob na eto? Model pala ay TX-NR900

Thanks

Try mo muna i-reset yung Onkyo. Tingnan mo sa manual yung procedure for resetting

If the amp spec says something about the damping factor, that should also help. there are low wattage amps with high damping factors that can run a speaker nicely because it has good control over the driver.

these will be amps with 2 ohm ratings...

ATJr. · « **Reply #2728 on:** Mar 31, 2012 at 08:16 AM »

this is typical of all amps, not just ONKYO, understand that power transformers of any amp is limited in power capacity so that at some point, clipping is reached resulting to gross distortions as shown in the graphs below:

the higher distortion levels at the mW levels is due to cross-over distortion plus hum and noise....

Anyone using 809 with 6ull hd tv and a 720p projector connected both on the hdni out? I have to diconnect the hdmi of the tv first everytime I wanna use the pj. I was told that if both display have differnet video it always recognize the higher resolution. Is this true? Anyone experiencing this?
