Hey guys, just need some inputs (as to TRUE wattage in RMS, speaker impedance required, just anything about it) before sprinting to buy an Onkyo 494 receiver this week. Also, how you would rate in a scale of 1-10. Tnx. :)
-
hello,
have yet to hear from anyone who owns this model. but as for the specs, you might want to take a look at the manual of this unit. you can find the manual in onkyo's website. here's the address: <http://www.onkyousa.com/redirect_own_manual.cfm?file=TX-DS494(E)0102.pdf>
hope this helps.

I own a 494 paired with Mission M72 fronts. On a scale of 1-10, I would rate it 8. It's a very capable AVR. The sound it gives is warm and sweet, which is good for my taste, considering that I only use generic interconnects and speaker cables. The only weakness I have found so far is POWER, but it's more than enough for a modest room. :)
-
I edited the title, Thanks.

in buying an AVR, before going to the details of specs (which sometimes incorrect) set your preference ist. Are you going to use the AVR more on audio or movies? Onkyo is well known for its audio sound rather than movies. If you prefer movies, go for yamaha, but if you prefer audio, go for onkyo. Onkyo gives fat sound, warm and sweet, but underpower. the 100W is for 6ohms, if you use 8ohms speakers it wil drop to about 55W only, and if you are a bass man, 55w is manipis. you have to use a highly efficient speakers for an Onkyo AVR, say speakers with sensitivity of 88 up. But personally I prefer a sensitivity of 91 for all speakers. The channel separation in movies of Onkyo AVR are not as astonishing as its rival models in Denon and Yamaha. Its THD is too high for a digital receiver, remember, the lower the THD the better. Try to audition feature per feature against Denon and Yamaha, remember, you are going to spend a hard-earned money to an equipment you are going to use for a long period.

I also owned Onkyo 494 matching with Jamo speakers. A setup that i have finalized after scouting, researching ( magazines & internet esp. PinoyDVD ) and auditioning for months. My first option was 595 because of more power but landed to 494 because of financial crisis. After using 494 in couple months, i found that its power is sufficient enough and very happy for the performace of this baby. Check this interesting comparison and recent reviews of Onkyo 494.

correction mr. joeyhomey, its 70w at 8 ohms; all the power you'll need for a small to medium sized room.
actually, the 494 is my baby. i love its midrange esp. when playing any of diana krall's cd's. i love its dynamics
and grunt when watching "fast and the furious". the euro's would not choose it as home theater receiver of the year for nothing. don't get me wrong; it's not because i'm an onkyo dealer that i praise this receiver
to high heavens. it's really something. mr. hilariodvd, if you have time, visit my shop and i'll give you a free
demo sir. i have made one unit as my mainstay (use it to demo speakers(and dvd's) i sell) and i'm keeping it.
btw, you'll be hearing a fully broken-in unit driving mission cinema 72 speakers (another best buy!).
-
Hats off to any ONKYO model. Can't remember the model but believe an earlier model was chosen in the US sometime in 93 or 94 as the best buy AVR. You may want to check-out www.epinions.com for reviews on the specific Onkyo model you want or any HT equipment.
As soon as I can save enough cash and free-up some of my credit cards I'd like to upgrade to another more modern ONKYO. But on second look, I just hate those hard rubber footings that look like the ones under an electric stove. (Also, the dealers here seem to have only gold panels, though the brochures say the models also come in black.) It just wouldnt sit well with my other components that have anodized silver foortings under black panels. Looks nice. So maybe I'll just get a Haram/Kardon.

Tnx for the info, Pep.
Can u give me the specs of the Onkyo 696 including the price.

The 696 is basically like the current 600 without the 6th amp channel for DTS-ES or DD-EX.
Here is a link (http://www.onkyousa.com/model.cfm?class=receivers&m=TX-DS696&p=i) to specifications on the onkyo website. If you have trouble finding it just go to www.onkyousa.com then go to product line... archive... TX-DS696.

Hi, I'm new here,
Just heard the tx-s600 today ;D at bose Sm city. A guy there just bought it together
with a complete bose system with the powered front speaker .
It has a 140watts rated x 6.1 channel with the new dolby pro logic 2, digital ex etc.
Sounds OK but not that great. Maybe because the Bose speakers suck.
The New Onkyo cost P28,000 but can go for as low as P23,800 of you buy any bose speaker.
I guess for that price, OK na ito.

I've had the Onkyo 494 receiver for about 3 weeks now and I'd like to post my early comments about it.
The good:
It's very user friendly. I'm a novice in home theater and I've never even used a receiver before buying the Onkyo but I've not had any problem so far. Kudos also to Mr. Sonny of Home Theater, who helped me set things up, with the cables and interconnects, so any set-up problems were minimized.
It sounds great. I was very concerned about my receiver's capability to play music as well as movies and I'm very happy with the Onkyo. I use it probably 60-40 for music. I read that there are some concerns about its power, but I've a fairly small room and a lot of neighbors so I don't really use jack up the sound. The highest I've gone is probably in the early 60's range (in the volume) before proceeding to turn it down for fear of damaging my eardrums ;) (I have the Mission M73 as fronts, btw).
The bad:
The remote. It always feels like you're holding it backwards or something, such that if its dark, you'll end up pointing the back portion of the remote to the receiver. No backlight. I think that for a receiver-remote, the volume button should be prominent (large and easy to find), as well as the buttons to change the sound settings (from stereo to dts, or to use the dsp's). Not the case here. Then again, this is an entry level receiver so maybe i should just get a universal remote.
As you can see, this is by no means a technical review. Aside from the fact that I'm no techie, I'm still exploring the receiver, see how each element works. Feel free to give me tips on how to further improve my system and to tweak the receiver, especially from Onkyo users out there.
I didn't realize how bad the urge to upgrade is, for equipments such as this where it seems like every week, a new product comes out with what seems like better features. Kakabili ko lang and I've had to urge to call my dealer to ask if I could "upgrade" my receiver ata least thrice. I haven't called though, so it's a good sign. I've no plans of calling, still, except to buy the surround and the subwoofer for my system. Malapit na.
-
Hilario DVD and anybody else interested in the Onkyo 696,
I realized that I made a pricing error on my 696, it is now only at P19,500. It's up for grabs here (http://www.pinoydvd.com/yabbse/index.php?board=7;action=display;threadid=4851;start=0;boardseen=1)

Fair review!, tonedeaf, likewise i have the same difficulty with remote control but it's overwhelmed by the good performance of the receiver itself.

Hi tonedeaf,
You mean you still didn't expereince the full blast of 5.1 sorround and subwoofer with your onkyo 494 right there at your own living room?? but i can see already your great satisfaction as written in your review,
Im sure you'll completely rule out the thoughts of upgrading your receiver once you experienced the output of complete 5 speakers and subwoofer with your 494 especially you have the mission speakers. You're right, its better to complete your speaker setup and experience it with 494 before thinking of upgrading it.
Like you, i have months of comparing yamaha and onkyo side by side but landed to onkyo. As entry level, i considered 595 because of power but i got 494 instead because this model that fits the money in my hand that time and im really eager to buy. i found that 55watt x 5 power is no hindrance since i have medium size of room and its sufficient enough. Im using the reciever 50/50 in music & movies. During my purchase, the good thing is the vendor allows me to bring it home and try for couple of days and then i can finally decide to buy afterwards. I tried all formats of movies from VHS to DVD's, i listened to audio cd's from instrumental piano to heavy metal. Most of other known recievers matching with high powered subwoofer that i auditioned really good and rocks with movies but i was not satisified when playing music. Me and my wife have the same level of appreciation in music but not in movies, so i really need to get a great receiver that delivers equal and i found it with onkyo. :)
;) almondski

hi almondski!
yup, no 5.1 for me yet. 3 channels pa lang (fronts and center) kaya limited pa ang options ko sa sound: stereo, 3 ch music and 3 ch movie lang.
Mr. Sonny has been egging me to buy the sub and surrounds since he installed my system because without it daw, di pa digital and experience ko. however, my financial limitations prevent me from doing so now. sana sa 3rd quarter bonus. i'm planning to get the M70s as surround. i can't remember though what he was offering as a subwoofer basta medyo ang laki (hahaha! nahahalata ang pagiging newbie ko sa home theater). anyway, i trust sonny's judgment though i will of course research on it muna.
with your good reviews as to the 494's performance in a 5.1 setting, i hope my upgrade urge will be minimized. when i do get my surrounds and sub, sana you can give me tips on how to maximize the onkyo's performance.
:)

the onkyo 494 now being sold at P17+++ at Sights and Sound, and the tsx sr 500 at P18T-19T.
should have waited a while, and could have gotten my 494 at 700-800 less :(

tonedeaf- Don't get dishearted that what you bought is cheaper now than before. If a new model comes up, the old ones get cheaper. It is an unending system when it comes to technology...but it has to stop one way or the other. Technology really drains your pockets. :-\
-
tonedeaf,
don't despair. at that price range, the 494 is still the receiver to beat. the tx-sr500 still has to earn that coveted EISA award. i'm still breaking in the new onkyo receivers but no definite conclusion yet if they're better than the models they replaced (although they're more feature-laden). but definitely the onkyo tradition (of superb sound in both ht and music) lives on. for good deals on onkyo receivers text me at 0917-9761009 or landline 8325710. look for rene.

Rene,
Tama ka mabagal ang labas dito sa Sydney ng mga bagong gamit, magkano ba dyan yung TX-NR900, kung mura dyan baka paguwi ko next year bibili ako dyan, problema ko lang ang warranty, bibigyan mo ba ako ng international warranty pare? I am still inclined to buy an Onkyo dahil satisfied ako sa performance ng 656 ko, I've had it for four years wala pa rin akong problema dito. Match kaya ito sa Mission 780. I might try another brand of speaker just for a change. I might give you a ring once I decide on getting the receiver.

there's some concern about a 'popping' or 'ticking' sound for the Onkyo 797 which i've read about in some home theater forums. there seems to be a problem with some DTS DVDs. i don't know how accurate these reports are, as i don't own the 797, but warpzone18 seems to have expeirinced it though he hasn't posted any feedback (see his msg somewhere in this thread). perhaps hyperaudio can answer this question. fyi.

Hi Tonedeaf
Thanks for the info about that popping sound with the 797 . I think Onkyo has already fixed up the problem with the new ones they made but still have to do some research about it before I buy. It would cost me $2200 ausie dollars here if ever I decide on buying it here but if hyperaudio would give me a good deal I might be able to get it from him if price permits.

IMHO, I agree that Yamaha is really better than Onkyo in terms of theater. I have auditioned an Onkyo TS-DS575X with a Yamaha RXV-620 and the difference was very evident. The Yamaha's sound totally envelopes you with distinct sound imaging in each area. It can be accounted to its unique Trifield for 5.1 channels and Quad Field Cinema DSP for 6.1 channels. I find Yamaha receivers to lack in body though when it comes to music.
Although Onkyo has its share for cinema and theater, the sound in a 5.1 channel set-up isn't as fluid and smooth as the channel to channel panning of the Yammies. In the same room, I noticed some gaps in channel transfer and the sound can be localized in each speaker. For some, this wouldn't be such a bother but if you really delve into it, the difference is very evident.
But in audio listening, I'd go for the Onkyo for its warmer and more lively sound compared to the Yammies.
Well, that's just me. ;)

nirvblakr: thanks for the expert advice. ill keep it in mind when i accompany my boss (ngayon ko lang nalaman na HT freak pala) to tech central... he's gonna get a tx-sr600 and mag-au-audition na rin ako ng onkyo tx-sr500/600 and yamaha rx-v430/530 (kung meron)...
ang sabi nya kasi sakin nung last time nag-audition sya, the onkyos sounded better than their yamaha counterparts, mas fuller daw yung sound... i guess ill check it out for myself later...
thanks ulit sa advice dude!
-
Hello,
Sound quality is really relative. Features wise, the Onkyo is best with a 6.1 output. Why get an obsolete 5.1 Yamaha? In the states, a 5.1 is entry level and eventually to be phased out.
Get good speakers for the onkyo and beat that entry level yamaha 430-530.
If you really would like a 5.1 channel, then get a Harman Kardon avr4000. It would be the best
reciever against any onkyo or yamaha. It is best with music and movies with an NAD tube sound.
Actually, phased out na din ang avr4000(310) sa states since 5.1 pa ito. 7.1 channels na ang lahat ng Harman Kardon recievers even the entry level models.
-
mahirap yata ang HK, masyadong mahal... sa receiver budget ko (max 400USD) eh less than 50watts/channel makukuha ko sa HK, while pag yamaha eh i can get 75watts/channel...
granted, mas maganda siguro quality ng HK, pero for ppl like me on a tight budget kelangan good compromise bet price and quality
-
to doubletap:
Hi, di naman masyadong mahal ang HK. an hk avr2000 cost around P18,500 lang. (in upscale audio mkti)
The 40w x 5 rating equals to around 70 watts x 5 in Japanese rating. I guess u know Harman kardon
uses a high current design so malakas naman ito althought you will reach the end of the volume control but without
distortion.
I was also about to purchase a yam 430 (P15,500 in ambasador) but the sound quality in my opinion is ordinary.
The Onkyo txsr500 at around P18,000 is ok too.
Iba kasi if u have a Harman Kardon at home. It is no match in aesthetics and sound quality compared to a common yamaha, onkyo or denon.
TY
-
hey madrigal, thanks for the advice. buti na lang oct/nov pa ko bibili, ill have time to audition the hk... anong HK site ang tingnan ko, yung intl or us?
assumption ko kasi yamaha/onkyo ang okay sa low-cost receivers, while yung ibang brands like HK sa mid-to-hi end. kaya nga ive never bothered to research other brands aside from yamaha/onkyo kasi feeling ko di ko ma-afford. tama ba yung assumption ko or am i missing out on other great brands with low-cost offerings?
budget ko nga pala is 20k max para sa receiver... yung speakers eh decided na ko sa mission m73 sa front and tentatively mission m7c1 sa center (baka mag-change ako, still checking out reviews of this model sa web)... yung sorrounds and sub next time na, won't be able to afford it... okay ba na match yung hk with the missions?
thanks madrigal!

I've just retired my Pioneer VSX 410 and bought the Onkyo TX SR-500. I'm just wondering why I have to reach volume level 30+ with the Onkyo to be able to hear something from my speakers. With my old Pioneer, sound is already audible even at the slightest turn of the volume dial. Is this normal for all Onkyo models?
-
madrigal,
how would the hk4000 compare against the denon 1802? a 6.1 receiver is out of the question for now as our living room wouldn't be able to accomodate a rear center for the 6.1
from wut i've researched the denons is more into moview while the hk is more into music.
-
denon and harman kardon both are good for music and audio, its just a matter of what your ears think ::) I have an h/k receiver and I like its warm sound while many here prefer denons sound, you can't go wrong with either. even though 5.1 lang ang h/k ko its ok because my room is small and I don't have any dts-es dvds yet, maybe next year na lang ako magpapalit ng receiver. Speakers also play a part to get the best from your receiver so match them with your receiver.
-
hilario dvd,
i've got the Onkyo 494. Dial is usually turned up to about late twenties or early thirties before i hear anything.
-
what about marantz? is the SR4200 better than the denon 1602 or hk avr2000 for movies?
-
Hi guys:
Hilario dvd:
youre right, you really have to turn the volume level of the onkyo since it uses a high current amp just like a
harman kardon. para bang ikot ka ng ikot ng volume and wala pa rin tunog. specially on dvd where it is recorded low. On cd's mas louder ng konti. When I watch dvds nasa -15 ang volume level ko with a sub using a speaker with 88 db sensitivity. On amps like Yamaha or Denon, 1/4 palang ng volume, malakas na.
doubletap:
in my opinion, paired with a h/k, that mission will sound hign with a weak bass. Better invest in a good sub. If possible, get a speaker with a high sensitivity of 90bd and above. Psb, paradigm or Infinity have those. Sa tingin ko kasi, mapili sa speaker ang h/k. The missions are best with a Yamaha 430 or a denon 1602 or 1802. Anyway, that is the joy of loving audio stuff since it is a trial in error experience. I also like those missions pero di maganda ang tunog sa H/K..
luther:
h/k 4000 vs Denon 1802? Depends on what speaker you will use. on loudness and bass, the denon is a winner. For home theater, the H/K is better in both DD and DTS with clearer vocals but not that much compared with the denon. the H/k4000 is best with a paradigm monitor set and an Infinity Entra set but the H/k sounded really weak and thin with a Wharfedale diamond8 and missions, For the Denon, the missions sounded more full and the diamond 8 was ok. I guess overall, mas consistent ang denon but the H/K is also great paired with the right speakers. About to buy that denon too but na turn off ako sa gold casing nya. It looks tacky.
I am not an advocate of a Harman Kardon. It is not the best . It really depends on your speaker matching.
If I can afford it now, the best integrated reciever I heard is an NAD. Kahit na Cheap Wharfedale diamond8 ang gamitin mo, it will sound perfect. Sa separates, the Mcintosh is the best Ive heard so far.
-
The TXSR-600 is a good buy if your budget is in the 23000 php range, although I have an h/k receiver that i'm happy with i plan to get this one in the future, mas malakas kasi ;D
-
am planning to get the Infinity Alpha series plus a Velodyne sub, or the JBL LX or Xti series.
Cguro alam nyo naman kung saan shop ako kukuha? ;D
I've heard the Alphas with the H/K, and it sounded pretty good. I've yet to hear it with the Denons.
-
luther:
Contrary to what other people say, I think the infinity alpha sounds real great. that is, paired with the
h/k 2000 or 4000. Some people say kasi that Infinity is not a good brand. most people here purchase b&W, missions or dynaudio. Also, a lot own Yamahas and denons,
Go ahead, get those Infinitys.
-
The xti bookshelf sounds real good, a great match with a h/k receiver ;D

I went to the shops today and had a look for the Onkyo 797, I think I already decided on getting these one just have a couple of questions, so maybe you guys can help me, the binding posts at the back of the receiver, I had a look at it and I don't think my banana jacks would be able to fit into it, what Onkyo technical support in Sydney told me is I have to take out the cover for the binding posts ??? which I doubt very much so if ever I buy these I cannot use my banana jacks anymore. Is there anybody there who has a 797 who can help me?

Correction, hyperaudio. i totally agree with joeyhomey and LtGen.Almondski that the Onkyo 494 is only 55 watts X 5 and not 70 watts as some people think.

hi new_age ,
Welcome to PinoyDVD!
Btw, The Onkyo 494 is 55 watts x 5 in 8 ohms & 70 watts x 5 in 6 ohms. Since it was rated 6 ohms power output ( also printed at the back of AVR ) that's why people assumed its 70 watts power. ;)

Its another classic case of misleading the buyer into buying their product. Why rate the receiver in 6 ohms whereas the majority of speakers available in the market are 8 ohms? Good thing they didnt rate it in 4 ohms so that they (Onkyo) can slap on the "100 WATTS PER CHANNEL" sticker in the front panel and in the box. I was surprised to discover that Onkyo is resorting to such tactics ang gimmicks just to sell their receivers. Must be the competition huh.. :o

Hi Listener!
You're right! we share the same sentiments.

I don't know about the marketing style of Onkyo but i know their product that fits to my requirements, given example is the Onkyo 494 ( which i have ) , i choose this product as the result of my longtime scouting, audition & comparison, considering AVR performance, my home enviroment and my budget. Onkyo AVR like other brands of AVR does have respective power output in each model , from 55watts to 100+ watts power range ( in 8ohms ) so i guess they dont need to trick the buyer in terms of power since they have options to offer. The 494 and its equivalent will do for medium HT/listening room & they have the 898 if you have 4 ohms speakers, kaboom! that's sufficient enough to rock your neighbor's HT rooom. For me, there's no such thing as misleading if the buyer knows what they are buying. ;)

LtGen.
Onkyo's Marketing division does not target individuals like you who know their homework. Prior to purchase you said you scouted, auditioned and compared products. I am assuming that you are quite knowledgeable about HT prior to purchasing your Onkyo that is why you chose the 494 simply because it fit your budget, power requirements and taste. Onkyo's target market with these "deceiving" ratings are the "first timers" and those who are not that technically inclined. Two receivers in front of you...one says 70watts x 5 and the other one says 50watts x 5..both are priced identically....which will you buy if you dont know jack about home theater? Naturally the bang for your buck receiver will appeal to you more. If that is the case then Onkyo clinched the deal because of the false ratings of their receiver. The poor buyer will then have a hard time finding speakers that can match the 6ohm rating so that the receiver that belt out its full 70watt power output otherwise he is stuck with the 55 watt output per channel. Short ended yung buyer di ba?
4 ohm speakers? HT has been my hobby for the past 5 years or so and during that span I have come across only a handful of speaker models sold here in the Phil that has a 4 ohm rating: The KEF Reference Line circa 1997 (UniQ drivers) and the forgettable MB Quart HT lineup (thats why its on sale at MG Infinity) . Do you happen to know of any other quality HT speaker that has 4 ohms and can kaboom and rock my neighbors HT room using the Onkyo 898 receiver?

Listener
I totally agree with your insights from top to bottom. You seem to know your stuff so well. We need people of your knowledge on HT on this forum, I just hope that all these are for discussion purposes and would not lead to a hot argument. I am also wondering why is Onkyo sticks with the 6 ohms capability ever since in the Philippine market, when great speakers here are all rated 8 ohms. A pity for first-timers. For most of us here in this website, who seem to be very knowledgeable in the audio and HT set-up that is probably why we say "6 ohms is ok!", but how about those who are still starting. Spending their hard-earned money to a gear that they would regret in the end. Remember, we all became "beginners" and you know how difficult it was to survive in getting the sound that we wanted.

hi guys,
i am not an expert on speaker design or amplifier
design but i can share some things i've learned during my 20 years in this business.
the issue on speaker impedance is really complicated and is subject to arguments (some heated, as we say; but we don't want that, we want to be enlightened).
afaik, the impedance of a speaker varies with the frequency it reproduces, say it may be flat to 8 ohms within 3 db from 1 khz to 15khz but dips to 4 ohm (or even to 2 ohms) at low frequencies and falls to 6 ohms
at high frequencies. i just read the review of the psb alpha of the psb alpha a/v mini-monitor and the impedance vs frequency curve is a rollercoaster ride with the impedance tested & rated nominally at 6 ohms
and minimally at 5 ohms; a typical example of a fine-
sounding mini-monitor. Most speakers in the mission 70 series are rated at 8 ohms compatible but 4 ohm minimum, again the average impedance falls to 6 ohms.
So with b&w speakers, 8 ohms nominal and 3-5 ohms minimum, the average at 6 ohms. the JEITA (japan electronics and information technology industries association, formerly EIAJ) standard of rating amplifier power into 6 ohms is being used by ONKYO of which its a member. very logical way of rating, to say the least.
i hope that explains ONKYO receiver power rating
specs. more POWER (pun intended) to pinoy dvd and
members! keep that volume control always turning...

Looking back when I was starting in this hobby a year ago, I can say that I was the target of the AVR vendor because I don't know about HT and wide range of receivers & speakers. That time, I was inclined that the only name of good amplifier/receiver is Pioneer and the name of speaker is Bose. When I decided to start-up building my HT, only these two products are in my mind, I went to the showroom and I don't even bother to audition any longer because I already trusted the name. I found Pioneer 110w x 5, being impressed with high power and that sounds good paired with Bose and it fits to my budget. Im impulsive buyer in nature, I couldn't wait especially if I have already cash in my hand and eager to bring home the stuff, which I believe pretty good for me, I control myself buying on that particular time. Prior to my plan of purchase, I got chance to visit audioreview.com and then the Internet leads me that there are plenty of good HT stuff in the market, thru browsing I found Pinoydvd and related sites, then I learned how to spend time in reading HT magazine, HT audition and comparison and more patience of scouting. Finally I ended up with Onkyo 494 55wx5 over other good choices of receivers such as Yamaha, Denon & HK. These are all with the same budget I had before with Pioneer 110wx5. I learned and discovered big difference. The bottom line is, if the first timers like me in the beginning are aware of what they are buying then they will not be wrong in their purchase. The decent manufacturer hand-out their products according to the specification, if their product specify 55w in 8 ohms & 70w in 6 ohms and you are looking for 100 watt in 8 ohms then obviously this not the right stuff for you. Myself admit that the terms are confusing and im still trying to figure-out how it become deceiving as Listener claims in his posts.
I have my neighbor next door equipped by Onkyo paired with Linn 4 ohms speakers and I said kaboom! Because it used to rock even my HT wall, I don't like disturbing neighbor that's why I choose modest 55watt sufficient to medium size room and not risky enough to damage my kid's eardrum if they are playing around.
Its true that we are investing our hard-earned money and nobody wants to regret in the end and bring the fault on the vendor. To the beginners my humble advise is take your time and don't be impulsive, take advantage the benefit of the internet in your quest of looking for good HT stuff and try audition what you really need. There are many HT sites like this board designed for HT awareness especially for the first timers. :) ;)

Thank you for that very informative post on why the impedance load of an amplifier varies with the frequency of the sound that it is pumping out. Im sure a lot of readers will be amazed to know that their HT receiver at home can generate a good deal of power at 3 ohms or so for a millisecond while pumping out those XRCD's or DVD's. Your 20 years of experience in the BUSINESS provides you with the invaluable knowledge of such information. You stated in your post that Onkyo is a member of the JEITA. what other major A/V receiver manufacturer is a member of this organization? Is Denon a member of this association?
I have used a Denon receiver before and they rate their receivers at a real world nominal rating of 8 ohms. I believe that Denon also can brandish their equipment with claims that it too can pump out considerable output with 6 ohms which you find to be a logical rating but they dont do so. Is it because they dont need to to resort to such tactics in order to sell their products and are comparing apples to apples? I believe that Onkyo deliberately using this 6 ohm rating for the sole purpose of gouging the eyes of the first time HT consumer.
This has been a long time problem in Audio and in HT. There is no governing body that tests and rates all audio products sold in the market. There are independent testing labs like the ones that we read about in audio magazines but I believe that even those independent test labs that are hired by the magazine can be swayed to provide a "favorable" rating on a product in exchange for advertising contracts..
Any audio manufacturer can slap on a "250 WATTS PER CHANNEL TOTAL POWER OUTPUT" sticker on the front panel and then continue the spec on the back of the unit with ".........250 watts / channel @ 4 ohms with 10% THD." and get away with it. I have even seen claims of 1000 watts of power from a portable Karaoke machine. Bear in mind that these companies are in it for the money...not satisfying our esoteric audio needs that is why they resort to unconventional marketing tactics like the ones I stated. Sad to say that in my book, Onkyo is now resorting to such gimmicks in order to sell their products.
my .02 cents ;D

Mr. Listener,
Denon(as well as Onkyo and Yamaha) is a full member of JEITA. Kindly check the link below.
http://www.jeita.or.jp/english/member/list/def.htm (http://www.jeita.or.jp/english/member/list/def.htm)
P.S.
I believe Mr. Hyperaudio's point was consumers shouldn't let the manufacturer's specs alone, be the weight-tilting basis of their purchases. Everyone and their mommas know that there is a lot of horse sh!t lying around in manufacturer's ratings(e.g. PMPO anyone?). If a person was "swindled" by Onkyo into getting their "higher-rated" equipment, part of the blame also lies on that buyer. Did that person do his or her homework first and auditioned as many systems as possible? Of course, the manufacturer(i.e. Onkyo) also is not scott-free innocent as a cucumber in this case, However, unless one has a more clearer understanding of the JEITA standards, one simply cannot make random accusations.
It can be argued that incidents like this one can be avoided by a standard-regulating body. However, as you have stated, there is but none, thus it's a "free-for-all" amongst the manufacturers. Not trying to beat down a dead horse but more often than not, "The best solution is an audition."
Cheers,
Biggs

Well, err, actually, Denon does so. Publish output ratings at 6 ohms, that is.
The manual for my Denon AVR-1801 lists two different power output specs, one for 8 ohms and another for 6 ohms. The brochures I've downloaded from their site do the same.
But you're right. Denon is at least forthcoming. So as not to single out Onkyo, I've seen Yamaha AVR flyers where they conveniently publish only the dynamic (or peak) power rating and not RMS figures.
To confuse things even further, Hifi Choice notes that some published ratings are ratings at stereo settings (only two channels are active), which are higher, rather than with all channels active. This was their minor criticism with regard to the Denon AVR-3300, but which was rectified, according to them, in its replacement product, the AVR-3801.
But in their latest roundup, it seems that actual power still does fall short because of other components like inadequate power supply. As an example, here's what they had to say of the Denon AVR-1602:
It's all in the specification. Denon rates its AVR-1602 at 70+70W (front), 70W (centre) and 70+70W (surround) but this is not the same as 70W through all five channels at the same time.
The power supply simply cannot sustain the added burden, so while it delivers 2x105W, this falls to 4x52W and just 5x35W into 8ohm.
An amplifier that really offers 5x70W+ will be a lot costlier, like the HK AVR5000.
Like the Denon, The Marantz SR5200 and the Onkyo DS595 dropped power considerably with all channels driven, while according to them the Harman Kardon and the NAD T761 did not deviate much from their ratings.
Cheers!

Guys
ang hirap pagkatiwalaan ng mga hapon pagdating sa audio ano? ;D Sa video sources ok sila but when it comes to amplification....GO AMERICAN. ;)
This discussion about the "ratings game" will never be put to rest until there is governing body that tests all audio equipment to be sold out the market and until such time, first time buyers will have to arm themselves with information about the product before pulling the trigger otherwise sorry ka na lang if you end up with unit that falls far below your expectations.

You got it Listener, If the buyer don't meet what they are looking for such stuff like Japanesse brands, they have their free will to go and look for it in another brand . If the first-timers will wait for the governing body to make sure the standard rating accuracy of thier prospective stuff, then i don't know how long they gonna hold thier money for purchase. For the meantime, first timers can do the same homework as other beginners do. :) ;)
I coudn't say who's who in amplication, I still got no chance of experiencing American brands of reciever to compare, but for sure Americans are doing good for automatic cars ;) ;D

Hi Mdsaint,
Yung utol ko uses that model of onkyo to power his 8.3 fronts, diamond center and 8.1 surrounds...sounds good naman. And it can play loud.
But when in doubt use more power!...i first heard that when i was learning to drive, i guess applicable din sa HT...hehehe..
hope this helps.

:Dmy onkyo tx-ds494 (18,000.00 - sights & sounds) is now a year old and so far i have no problem with it. i like watching action movies with the volume knob set to 11 to 12 position. the feature that i like best is its auto protection circuitry. it automatically shuts off whenever there is an overload. the speaker terminals are great too. you can biwire your speakers. my room is not that large and i am quite satisfied with 5.1. it also easily drives my wharfs with 86 sensitivity. this is the typical receiver for one who wants simplicityand reliability. ;D

we have the sr600... laking difference kse dati pro-logic lang yng reciever nmin, when we upgraded to onkyo wow parang bago ulit yng pipitsugin namin speakers!! hehehe. we have upgraded our front speakers to m73 kya mas maganda bass reponse.maliit lang yng room nmin(arnd 4mx3m) kaya bingi kami pagnanood ng movie, s 2nd floor yng room nmin pero kahit n sarado ang door ska windows eh rinig p rin s baba yng dog fight s pearl harbor.
pansin din nmin n masmaganda yng video signal n dumadaan nang onkyo. ive tried n ideretso yng video out ng dvd player s tv nmin, tapos compare ko sya s video output n galing s onkyo mas malinaw nga yng galing onkyo.
sr600 supports dts-es discrete pro kahit n wla pang back center yng setup namin pwede mong disable to,tapos yng signal for the back center will be reproduced s surround left and surround right speakers.
it also comes with a programmable remote which has 2 programmable macro. isang pindot lang at program nmin n mag power on yng tv,then switch to video input, power on reciver,switch to dvd input, power on dvd player and eject tray. nice.
output is rated @ 85wx5 for 8ohms load.very nice. ;D

Me and my friends tweaked the Onkyo SR700 with the M74 matched with Ixos 6006 speaker wire and pairs of banana plugs, hooked to an LD player (CLD-D580) routed to a Musical Fidelity X-10D and X-PSU using ixos 104 interconnects.
After an hour and a half of warm-up on the X-10D, which btw has a stock JAN Philips 6922 tubes, the sound of the Onkyo further sweetened when we played Norah jones, Jim Chappell's Serenity Rush, Livingston Taylor's Ink, and Reference Recording Serendipity (courtesy of Hyperaudio) with Pure audio mode switched on. The set-up tamed the somewhat brightness of the M74, making it warm. Removing the banana plugs made it warmer but with the trade off of making it sound marumi. We prefered using the banana plugs with this set-up to emphasize clarity in general.

Anyone here of SR700 model owners experienced this?
My friend owns an SR700, bnew, paired with Mission M74. Whenever he plays a cd on his DVD player (hooked via Digital COAx of MIT Terminator 3) at 65 volume level, when he slowly turns down the volume knob there is a very tiny popping sound coming out of the speaker for every step of the volume level. He returned the unit after a week and got another SR700, but still has this popping sound. But this only happens when you turn the volume up, say 70, then go down slowly, while playing a soft instrumental cd, you'll here the popping sound. When playing nothing or the tuner, wala naman.
What is this popping sound? It is very annoying. anyone from onkyo or toyama here can explain this?
Thanks a lot.

Anybody here with a TX-DS787?
I have a TX-DS787 and 5.1 Pioneer speakers (can't remember the model but the left/right/surround speakers are the same bookshelf type). I dunno if it is receiver related but it is about the sound level whenever I watch movies. Whenever it is on a scene with just dialog, you have to raise the volume to hear the dialogs clearly. But when it changes to action scenes while maintaining the same volume level, the sound is to loud so I need to lower the volume. Anybody experience this? It is quite annoying raising/lowering the volume especially at night.

I hope this will help you.
On the speaker setup of the Receiver, increase the volume of the center channel. You may also decrease or adjust the volume of the mains and surround speakers to your desired loudness.
If your center speaker is small, set it to small (lower frequencies will redirect to the subwoofer), if it is big, then set it to big.

Actually, I did those things already. I have made a +8db difference for the center channel. The alternative I'm going to test is to set the difference real high. Is this still ok?

Check the manual for Dynamic Compression. It will limit extreme sound effects.

Hi levi,
TNX for the reply. I checked the manual and there's no option or setting for Dynamic Compression. There's a Re-EQ option which will adjust the sounds that was supposedly for cinema setup to home theater setup. I'll test this one later.

mga dude meron pa bang nag bebenta na brand new na onkyo494? kung meron san makakabili medyo nasa budget kasi ako ngayon eh :-[
-
what speakers would you recommend for an Onkyo tx-sr600?
I'm thinking of:
1. B&W 600 series
2. Mission m70 series
Please advise which one would I get. I will use it 50% movies / 50% music.
Thanks!
-
Galahad,
Both are very good speakers pero if you have the budget go for B&W pre tapos floorstander yun fronts and bookshelf ang surround..
-
Thanks Hans,
But my max budget for the L/R fronts is 30k+. And medyo over na yata dito yung price ng floorstanders na B&W 600 series?
What if kung yung 602 S3 and gawing kong fronts? Ok kaya ito pag sa music?
-
Galahad,
Ok din yan sir just paired it with a reliable sub..
-
Ok. Notes taken.
Thanks again Hans.

Just saw the post of Hyperaudio sa kabilang thread . May less pa 15% ang 501 so P 18,700 nalang which is a lot cheaper the B&W Shangrila/Sights and Sound. Buy it from Hyper nalang.
-
been browsing the onkyo website checking out the specs for their new av receivers (i.e. 501,601,701) and it says these receivers are available in silver finish but only in selected markets.
anyone know what markets these silver finish onkyos are available in?
-
I saw the 501 and it's really silver finish, try to contact Mr. Sonny Tuazon or Hyperaudio, I think pareho lang sila ng price ng onkyo 501 (around 18k). Go for onkyo 601 mas malufet ;D.
-
great! but unfortunately, i'm not in manila : ( currently working out of KL, so i'm hoping its available in the KL or Singapore market . . . sana meron, it would make a great match to my silver tv and silver dvd player . . .
-
the onkyo dealer here in KL told me that the silver finish models are for the european market, black for the american market and gold for the asian market. he further told me that even if i could get a silver/black finish onkyo here it asia, it would carry no official warranty support.
is this true? any comments?
of all the colors, gold is the one i least like pa naman - it doesnt match any of my components :-\

I agree with you. In one of the forums here I declared that if i were to buy a new receiver it would not be Onkyo. (I have the black 919THX 1996 model) I just hate their current gold facade and black rubber footing that look like they came from microwave ovens.
Their brochures advertise that their models come in silver, black or gold. So this is a revelation to me that those colors each have intended markets. Personally i prefer brushed black panels and Onkyo had those for the Phili market as late as 1998.
Well, i guess if you love the Onkyo sound that much, aesthetics may not matter a lot. But tt does to me. Just my 2 cents.
-

i too prefer black :-\
i have noticed that yamaha amps and toshiba tv's follow this same trend in that the units made for the US market are black and those meant for the asian markets are metallic in color. makes me wonder about the market research results that indicated asians prefer metallic finishes to black . . .
and lets not forget sony wegas that also come in silver metallic finish. buti nga lately their newer models are part black and part silver.
on the other hand, i notice the really high end stuff either comes in black only or some really expensive wood finish . . .
anyway, back to the topic at hand ;D

Sorry if i chip-in out of topic, i just would like to get your opinion about onkyo sr501. i almost ask all a/v shops who sells onkyo among other brands like denon & yamaha, & according to them 0nkyo has a more wider soundstaging or in other words it sounds better, especially if its partnered with a mission speaker set-up.
by the way i need your suggestion cause i'm planning to get a pair of m71i for front & surround & m7c1 for center plus velodyne vx10, sub.
hope i'm in the right place, thanks a lot :)
-
I guess this is the latest here in the Phils and I've just recently setup my system (701 and Mission 70i series)
What DVD player would you suggest me to pair with the 701? The 701 by the way is THX Select Already, preferably i like a DVD Audio/SACD/MP3 and a progressive scan DVD Player. Please.. your thoughts...
Thanks
-
Try to look for pioneer dvd players.. ;) 733a i think is a good player

this is kinda OT but why settle for m71i pre? better get the m72i if you can stretch your budget a little. also check out monitor audio B2, although havent auditioned them yet. but then again, members here are giving up their wharfs and missions for the MA B2. you might end up contracting SARS like they did :).
-
thanks cousin skeeter :)
i'l keep in touch...
-
saan ba Hyperaudio? or where can I get the lowest quote for Onkyo 501 or 601? I think Malaysian made na yung mga binebenta dito, am I right?

you can contact hyperaudio 0917-9761009. you may want to check his thread at the General Section.

hello everybody,
can you consider onkyo as a musical and warm sounding receiver in terms of music compared to other brands like denon, marantz and nad? thanks for any comment.. :)
-
Raycor,
Onkyo have somewhat similar sound with Marantz in terms music.. IMHO sir
-
Hans Adriane,
thanks po sa comment
-
My brother gave me his onkyo 484. I have a wharf valdus center and surround. Planning to buy wharf 8.2, ok kaya ang avr-speaker combination na ito?
-
There are many members with Onkyo-Wharfe combi and attest to their excellent performance. I know that Wharfes are rated nominally at 6 ohms. They make a good match with onkyo recievers that are also rated for 6 ohm speakers.
-
Wharfs diamonds are fine, get the 8.3 instead of 8.2 if budget and speaker placement permit.
-
av_phile1
bro, thank you kung ganon. kasi yung onkyo 484 requires speakers w/ nominal impedance of 6 ohms so diamond 8.2 is a good match for front at di na ako magpapalit ng center at surround.
-
one of the good things about onkyo is their wrat technology. this extends the frequency response from 10 Hz to 100 kHz unlike other receivers. it may not be a good looking receiver but it definitely serves well on my home theatre setup. for me, they are on the warm side which i prefer ;D imho
-
Are Onkyo receivers still using that DB-25 terminals for 5.1 analog connection instead of common RCA terminals? It's so difficult finding a DB-25 to RCA cables. Thanks.

Pre,
almost all later model receivers have already wide bandwidth (10Hz ~ 100kHz). Especially those with 6-channel analog in for DVD Audio / SACD Playback. And it is not exclusicve only to Onkyos.
Cheers.

p're nels76!!
really?! like what brand? :o just compared them with denon, marantz and yamaha. ;D but i didn't say it's exclusive to onkies, just the wrat technology. ;)
cheers! :D

they use rca terminals now in recent models
cheers ulit ;D

Not only is it not exclusive to Onkyo. It's nothing new.
The Sansui integrated stereo amp I had more than 20 years ago had a FLAT frequency response from DC or 0Hz all the way to 120Khz. And many amps i've read the specs of in the intervening years had a 2hz to 100Khz, or 5Hz to 150Khz responses. Even the taiwan amp kit I assembled in 1983 had a freq response of 4 Hz to 90 Khz plus or minus 1 db. Nothing new in there. All hi-fi amos should be wide-range to start with and to say the least. And it's not enough to have just a wide range, it should be FLAT to within plus or minus a db. Onkyo 's WRAT starts at a mere 10hz uo to 100khz which is good enough. But i don't recall their brochure saying anything about that range being FLAT to within so-so db.
-
just considered price ranges from the major players in novice home theatre enthusiasts.
and i didn't say it's NEW
:-X ;D
-
ano ba ang price range ng Onkyo AVRs?
-
av_phile,
they use rca terminals now in recent models
cheers ulit ;D
Good to learn they've abandoned this DB-25 terminal. I just can't appreciate its use in multi-channel hi-fi.
-
yep, good thing they've updated the terminals but the earlier models (tx-sr600, tx-sr500) use clip-on plugs for b speakers (bad trip) they've updated in the 501s and 601s.
to quitacet,
tx-sr501 - 18 ++
tx-sr601 - 24 ++
-
To All Oknyo user/ex-users,
Right now, i have a tx-sr500, using diamond 8.4s (component spkers for d other chan). I find it ok, but you have to really turn the volume up. Music is really good but I find it lacking something when listening to some rock/alternative.
Gusto ko lang mag survey ba...
a. what model of onkyos do you have??
b. what speakers are you using for you onkyos??
c. comments on your combo??
btw, i have a ninong. Onkyo gamit with Infinity speakers, he loves music. GANDA ng tunog. I didn't get the model though (hindi pa sya infinite volume knob), coz I saw it when I was still not so familiar with different brands of AVR. But I guess that's the biggest influence, that's why good shot ang Onkyo sakin. I'll let you know, kapag nagkita/nagkausap kami. :)
-
Bernie,
I am also a new member here in pinoyDVD and have also started this new hobby. I just bought myself a Onkyo SR-601 (with 6.1 channel output) with B&W 601s3 and LCR 60 speakers. I read through the threads to seek advice from different users. From my experience, iba sumipa ang B&W speakers with Onkyo AVR. Max volume for a 601 is level 99. I get desired results b/w 50 - 65 volume level for DVD Movies but for Music I switch to Stereo output at level 55. Audio CD's encoded in 44 -48 Khz are really meant to be listened at Stereo level. If tyou go for 96 Khz sampling (DVD Audio or DVD Video - Concert versions) go for Surround setup. If you crank up the volume believe me di pa rin basag ang tunog at level 70 but its loud enough to wake up the neighbors. I am really satisfied with my setup and still pursuing for audio perfection yun bang pag narinig mo yun tunog kailangan palagi nakikiliti yun pandinig mo sa ganda. Volume level is really relative with the listener. What matters is you don't pump up your AVR to its maximum capacity because that leaves you no room for changes and tweaking if you are not satisfied with what your listening to. It may also hold true that your speakers are underpowered for the Onkyo AVR. Actually I haven't fully grasp the concept of impedance / ohms matching. Still learning as well as you are. ;)
BTW, it also matters if you have shielded speaker cables (IXOS 6006 gamit ko) and IC (Optical) . I bet you know that by now hehehe.
-
i'm using tx-sr600 for 602s3 and 601s3 and velodyne cht-8 for home theatre setup. will be upgrading to lcr600 for center speaker soon. so far so good. the onkyos are good for b&w speakers in my setup. for movies, my volume range is 55 - 65 depending on dvds. for music around 45 - 50. home theatre, i'd say it's decent enough for me. for stereo listening, average! i still have a separate stereo setup ;) my only gripe, i should have waited for the 601. :P
8)
-
got the tx sr501 paired with paradigm studio 20 using it for my front speakers, maganda naman ang combination nilang dalawa, before paradigm titan ang front speakers ko, now the titan's are being used for my rear, naging underrated lang yung 501 when i upgraded to studio 20, kailangan na siguro mag upgrade
-
ako din 50-65 (daytime) ang volume while watching DVD. At night, < 60 lalo na kapag DTS. sa music pinaka malakas na yung 55. (Sa tingin ko kapag tx-sr60x) mas maganda bigay na tunog... mas buo) kaya lang kapag Dolby PLII lang, eg, VCD lang. kelangan lakasan upto 70 minsan lalo na kapag naguusap lang. and the surrounds, medyo mahina. pero kasi surround and center speakers ko upto now e component speakers pa din. maybe that's why. btw, max na sr500 is 94 ata.
E malulupit naman pala ang speakers na gamit nyo, I have no budget for that speakers. pero narinig ko na yan side by side, 8.4 sa 602. GAling tumunog ng BW602. Bakit nga pala may nakita kong brochure ng Onkyo together with B&W? Sister company ba sila or something?
-
"Bakit nga pala may nakita kong brochure ng Onkyo together with B&W? Sister company ba sila or something?"
nope, they just have the same distributor here in the phils. just like denon and jbl here. in europe, it's rotel and b&w (and classe' too) working hand in hand. ;)
when using dpl IIs in vcds and cds, the volume drops down normally because they are just mere dsps and not true discrete channels. don't worry, your diamond 8.4s are ok with the onkyo, you'll be needing a smaller diamond speaker for the surrounds to match with your fronts.
cheers
-
ahh.. salamat. may nagconfirm na compatible tong 8.4 sa Onkyo. ;D Center muna next project. tapos SUB. gusto ko kasi gumagapang sa sahig at dingding ang yanig! yung surrounds, better wire lang to. yung compo speakers ko kasi for surrounds, diffused ang ang placement nung driver. actually 4 yung driver 1-woofer 3-mid/tweet, tapos firing at 3 different angles.. nakalagay nga sa speaker Front surround! ang labo!! ::) ??? ::) Aiwa nga pala sya.
-
dudes, baka may marerecommend kayong budget for P55K- pinagpipilian ko kc yung 501 or 601. d ko ngalang alam kung anung speakers yung iteterno either s dalawa. ung wires na gagamitin yung magaganda na- bili n lang ako s Raon. whatchathink?
-
Good budget there for an AVR and speakers. I suggest you audition the Onkyo 601 with Wharfedale Evolution or Diamond series. You probably will have something left for a good subwoofer. But I am sure they will work just as well with many speakers with a 6-8 ohm impedance rating. You can check out Sound DImension at park Square which carries this brand and try it on with their KEF speakers which I think is on sale.
-
agree with master av_phile1 ;D. I suggest the kef with onkyo ganda sana ng b&w's kaso really too high for my budget
hopefully, I can buy the avr and fronts either this week or next.. onkyo 601 with kef cresta 30 muna... then 10 then 20.. saka na siguro ang sub.. kaso pending approval pa ni esmi. 8)
happy hunting.. ;D
-
Thanks av_phile and bgs- we've decided to get the 601. Ang problema n lang yung speakers and pag-setup.
Dudes, baka may alam kayung nagsesetup ng HT na medyo mura ang service fee- as in wala kasi kaming alam sa pagsesetup ng HT kasi. Ginagawa yung HT/Music Room, para maincorporate na yung specs ng speakers (were thinking abt getting n lang Daiichi Euro8 or Wharfedale Diamond 8s dahil na rin s budget).
Thanks in advance!

HI Batutoy,
I recently bought a SR601. I may have a few suggestions for you. Sana di ka nagmamadali kasi 55K okay for a HT setup but think of it this way sobra tight ka sa budget. Are you willing to sacrifice budget with performance / quality? A friend of mine recommended that I buy what I really want and what my budget permits now. Don't settle for "pwede na yan" para mabuo lang ang 5.1 HT setup. Onkyo 601 is really a versatile AVR that's why I bought it especailly that I am very particular about future proofing my equipment. As I mentioned in my previous message very warm ang soundstage pag audio. (di matining yun highs) I used to be excited to get a 5 speaker package but I thought of installing my speakers over a period of time. Iba yun fulfillment at very rewarding sa pandining mo pag unti - unti sya nabubuo. I first bought L & R front speakers then Center. As I stretch my budget, I'd purchase the surround speakers later on. Last piece yun center surround and Subs. It's up to you dude.
BTW, for my B&W 601s3 , LCR60 fronts I use IXOS gamma 6006. There are threads in General section covering different types of speaker cables and Interconnects.
Good Luck dude. Just my two cents. ;)

Thanks in advance!

Pre out for subwoofer lang, also line out for Zone 2 area (used for connecting to an powered external amp from a remote area)
TX-SR701 have pre-out for 5.1 terminals. BTW the SR701 is THX capable so its slightly around 30K.

Guys, I have a question regarding the RMS output of my Onkyo 601. Based on the spec sheet, 85W per channel min RMS at 8 ohms and 110W per channel min RMS at 6 ohms. Then there's also Dynamic power output(stereo) 2 X 100 W at 8 ohms. I currently have B&W 601s3 that can be driven at 100W at 8ohms. Would like to know if the Onkyo 601 receiver supplies full 100W at 8 ohms or 85W only or the power output dips b/w 8 ohms to 4ohms.

Would like to know if the Onkyo 601 receiver supplies full 100W at 8 ohms or 85W only or the power output dips b/w 8 ohms to 4ohms.
My apologies to Onkyo users, (actually me included). This is basically my caveat against Onkyo, apart from their ugly rubber footing ;D, They put in so many power ratings at different points of reference that they can only serve to mislead unwary consumers. Onkyo can't seem to make up their mind which one to use. I also had the same confusion reading their manuals with my older Onks.
To answer your question: yes and no, sometimes. Let me eleborate.
The 85 watts into 8 ohms is measured using FTC (US) standard for all frequencies from 20hz to 20kz. Onkyo should have stopped there as this is preferred by audiophiles. The 110 watts into 6 ohms is measured only at 1khz (IHF, DIN) and is frowned upon by audiophiles as a useless spec and a misleading rating. Nobody listens to music at only 1 khz. ??? You can safely disregard this particular spec.
While the specs on the net are silent on whether the 85 watts is CONTINUOUS, I will assume it so. But the term is suspiciously absent and the rating could very well have been meaured at the 1khz point. If so, then the actual real continuous rating would be lower than 85, say 70 watts RMS. But let me just give Onkyo's 85 watt rating the benefit of the doubt.
The dynamic power specification is precisely that, measured at transient peaks into the various loads to indicate it is capable of high-current dirves - something older Onkyos didn't bother to print, presumably, they were not high-current amps. But the figures are actually revealing of the amp's inadequate dynamic headroom. If the continuous power is 85 watts into 8 ohms, its dynamic limit at that load is only 100 watts. Hardly sufficient to handle piano and drum attacks even near the rated power. Such transients can draw twice the continuous power. But even so, using the IHF standards that Onkyo uses, the peak transients are only meaured at 1Khz, again an over-estimation. (Most likely there may not be much headroom to talk about. ) So in order to get clean dynamics, the volume should probably be set at around 40% of full power. All the other dynamic figures are useless indication. WHile the spec says the 601 can deliver a dynamic headroom of 220 watts down to 3 ohms, the rear panel has a revealing message on top of the speaker terminals: Caution: Speaker Impedance, 6 ohms minimum. It's the same caution on my Onkyo reveivers of 1996 and 98.
I don't know if Onkyo's technical guys are talking with their marketing guys when deciding what to put on the manual and at the back of the unit.
But going back to your question. The answer is really yes, no and sometimes. The B&w 601 S3 can handle from 25w to 100w of unclipped signals and is rated nicely at 8 ohms with a minimum of 3 ohms for some unspecified frequency. The onkyo 601's continuous power rating of 85w peaking at only 100w during transients are well within the B&W's abilities. So the amp can deliver 100 watts but only during brief transients. And it may start to sound a trifle bit too loud on certain frequencies that could dip to 3 ohms at instantaneous moments. Just don't set the volume past the half-way mark or you could be sending clipped signals during transients that the speaker can't handle. And a speaker that can't handle what you feed into it will usually fry to a crisp. ;D
On second thought, the two should be perfectly matched, they're both 601. ;D
But let not my assessment of the 601 discourage anyone from getting this. Those are based purely on written specs whose over enthusiastic bent I am essentially criticizing, not the receiver. As a surround receiver, very few can equal its features at its price. None can exceed it at that price. Having accompanied a colleague and influenced him on getting this over another brand and helping him install this, I have heard its convincing sonic abilities paired with an MS914, though not at any extended listening. There is no doubt it's a competent performer. But if the tech specs are any indication at all, one just shouldn't expect it to perform as good at high volume levels.

My apologies to Onkyo users, (actually me included). This is basically my caveat against Onkyo, apart from their ugly rubber footing ;D, They put in so many power ratings at different points of reference that they can only serve to mislead unwary consumers. Onkyo can't seem to make up their mind which one to use. I also had the same confusion reading their manuals with my older Onks.
To answer your question: yes and no, sometimes. Let me eleborate.
The 85 watts into 8 ohms is measured using FTC (US) standard for all frequencies from 20hz to 20kz. Onkyo should have stopped there as this is preferred by audiophiles. The 110 watts into 6 ohms is measured only at 1khz (IHF, DIN) and is frowned upon by audiophiles as a useless spec and a misleading rating. Nobody listens to music at only 1 khz. ??? You can safely disregard this particular spec.
While the specs on the net are silent on whether the 85 watts is CONTINUOUS, I will assume it so. But the term is suspiciously absent and the rating could very well have been meaured at the 1khz point. If so, then the actual real continuous rating would be lower than 85, say 70 watts RMS. But let me just give Onkyo's 85 watt rating the benefit of the doubt.
The dynamic power specification is precisely that, measured at transient peaks into the various loads to indicate it is capable of high-current dirves - something older Onkyos didn't bother to print, presumably, they were not high-current amps. But the figures are actually revealing of the amp's inadequate dynamic headroom. If the continuous power is 85 watts into 8 ohms, its dynamic limit at that load is only 100 watts. Hardly sufficient to handle piano and drum attacks even near the rated power. Such transients can draw twice the continuous power. But even so, using the IHF standards that Onkyo uses, the peak transients are only meaured at 1Khz, again an over-estimation. (Most likely there may not be much headroom to talk about. ) So in order to get clean dynamics, the volume should probably be set at around 40% of full power.

Mr. Av phile, need your expert advise, have narrowed my choices between onkyo 701 or 800 against yamaha rxv 1400? which is more powerful and better? why? as to speakers its a toss up between b n w 600s3 vs. mission volare series or m780..waiting for your coments thanks in advance...

Mattmatt, i almost didn't see your querry burried in your quote.
But here's my brief answer. I'd go for the Onkyo 800, even if I prefer the new Yamaha receivers in looks. But if you can get the Yamaha Z1 or Z9, they're better than the Onkyo flagship. I'll see if i can post the reasons tomorrow as I have to leave for home. Bye for now.

Yamaha Z9 is an excellent true Audio & Video reciever, if not the best. Based from its technical specifications and features, I doubt if there one existing who can match this reciever.

At less than 70 lbs, the Z9 is perhaps the heftiest multi-channel receiver on this planet. Its preamp and digital processing features are without doubt awesome and goes a mile away from any receiver out there, except perhaps the Denon flagship (forgot the model). But reading its specs on power leaves me doubting its real abilities in the power department.
Compared to other amps and receivers like NAD, Rotel, Acurus, HK, it's over-rated in terms of its ability to deliver the power promised in the specs. Sound and Vision tested this as a 140 wpc receiver, not the 170 wpc as claimed. Not that it matters really, I am sure 140 wpcs will fill any room with ear-splitting sonics. I am just distressed manufacturers continue to overrate products that are already excellent to begin with. But enough said. Again, don't let my impertinent views get in your way of buying such an excellent receiver.

Bros av_phile1 and philander,
Care to tell me your views about the Yamaha DSP-AZ2? Please? Thanks. ;)

Bros av_phile1 and philander,

As you know, Yamaha is one of the monster in HT components particularty their AV Amplifier/Receiver (no question about that). Yamaha DSP-AZ2 is considered mid-end AV Amplifier. It supports the latest audio formats and provides massive AV inputs of most kind. 6.1 channel and supports DD EX, DPLII, DTS 96/24, DTS ES Discrete/Matrix
No doubt that this amplifier will do excellent in HT applications.
Also, Yamaha DSP-AZ2 incorporates the well-known burr brown DAC.
Having said that...
It does not have the following which I personally think for the same price range you can get with others:
Multi-Room support
No I-link connection (firewire)
No ProLogic IIx (which is not necessary at all)
Not 7.1 Ready
No Tuner (since its not a receiver)
No YPAO or related automatic optimizers
For 70K, I will choose another component...

The reason why I wanted this is because it's the least expensive Yamaha amp that has 2 additional front channels, the Front Effect Channels, so it's actually an 8-channel amp. I would sure love it if it had YPAO, but you can't have it all, can you? Now, with regards to the price, medyo it's not my concern kasi, this is just promised to me by a friend who's residing in Japan, we saw that you could get it there for 89,700 yen, so that's about 36,000 pesos lang. That is if she could get it at that price, kasi dun daw pag luma na model na, mura na kaagad. So, if you could get it at this price, would you choose it? Or would you still recommend another? Can you tell what brands and models you would recommend? Dati kasi the AZ2 was 180,000 yen e, kaya medyo sobrang mahal nga. But, she also told me if she could not get it at an affordable price, I would just have to choose another, maybe here in the Phils. na lang. ang my next option is the Pioneer VSX-D812, but that's another story... Thanks sir. TC. ;D

Any idea how much Z9 will costs, how about Denon? what model is at par with Z9?
Onkyo has come out lately with their 801 model? any significant change on this? One more thing can you pls. help me on choice of speakers? I have narrowed to Mission volare series or the 780se, some say for audio go for 780se and for video , the volare is better, help needed...

just inquired from LIS, mahal pala Z9, 200th plus, Z2 around 70th, sobrang mahal..
-
onkyo has updated the tx-sr501 with the NEW tx-sr502 receiver
updated features:
75 watts per channel (6.1)
dolby prologic IIx and dts 96/24 processing
adjustable crossover for subwoofer 60/80/100/120 or 150 Hz
still introductory in the u.s.
a good contender for entry level receivers!
:-*
-
Nakita ko nga sa website to (sr502). ok na ok nga ang pagdagdag nila ng power. i think this will be a good buy lalo na kung hindi sya aabot sa presyo ng 601. ;)
-
just inquired from LIS, mahal pala Z9, 200th plus, Z2 around 70th, sobrang mahal..
Yup that's about their SRPs alright. At the price of a Z9, I'll much prefer to get a Rotel receiver costing only 120T. If the Z2 can be had for less than 40T as arthurallanz said in his post, it becomes very attractive.
I think the flagship Onkyo receiver (901?) also sells around 110T. Still, I'd prefer a Rotel receiver for 10T more.
-
i don't know if the 901 is the flagship of onkyo because i think integra research is their high-end brand. onkyo collaborated with thx, balanced audio technology and apogee to bring you rdc-7, rda-7 and rdv-1. unlike the 901, it uses the "separates" concept of home theatre. the rdc-7 as the processor, rda-7 as the 7 channel amplifier delivering 150 watts @ 8 ohm loads and rdv-1 as their dvd player. as expected, all are thx ultra certified. you can check out their website at www.intergraresearch.com for more info.
cheers
-
oops typo, website should be www.integraresearch.com
sorry!
-
Is it true that the Integra constitute high end models of Onkyo? How would they fare in performance as compared to the regular Onkyos?
-
Integra IS the hi-end asignation from Onkyo. It has been so I think for the past 20 years or more. As far as performance goes, there are just so many things to discuss. Let's just say that price-wise, they're more expensive. Build-wide, they're heftier and more solid. They carry the separates line. They are positioned to compete with the Elite of Pioneer and the ES of Sony and all the hi-ends Europe and the US can offer, but not the boutique esoteric line-ups.

I think the 901 is the top-of-the-line, if not flagship, in the HT receiver series bearing the Onkyo logo. Onkyo seems to be positioning the Integra as a separate line-up altogether. In the past, I've seen Integra affixed in the Onkyo logo. Lately, they're not, or are they?

Integra logos are still affixed on the flagship Onkyo DVD players and Receivers. But I think they are starting to separate the series.
-

you're referring to the market here. and i'm pretty sure they're old models. in the u.s., they don't share the same logo together.
-
Just checked the Onkyo website and it seems they still carry the 989 receiver which, while firmware updated to ver2, is already 3 years old. THis is the flagship, not the 901. And it looks like they don't carry the Integra name anymore.
And you're right Krets, there's another website dedicated to INTEGRA. With the DTR-9.1U2 as the flagship in this series. So it would seem the two are now separate. It's at
http://www.integrahometheater.com
-
i think it wouldn't matter whether 901 or 989 ver.2 is the flagship of onkyo because there are less people interested in these receivers hahaha (like me) first, they're expensive. second, impractical unless you have a mini theatre at home. third, you have to buy another set of speakers that can handle these overrated amps. fourth, there are better receivers in that category so why stick with it. hehehe i'm just fascinated by these flagships how they develop every minute and all i could do is just sigh!! i wish i had a lot of mooolahs to spend on these s*ckers! hahaha
cheers everyone!

Philander, the 989 seems to be the exception as, like i said, this is a 3-yr old model with updated firmware. Up to 2-3 years ago most of Onkyo's top receivers do sport the integra name.

These flagships do have a following. Same with the yamaha z9 flagship receiver that exceed 200T. Pesonally, I also wouldn't get them. For the same price, I think I can get better sounding separates.

From Onkyo's asian and international sites, Integra logos are still embedded in TX-nr901 as well as in their two DVD players: S939 & SP800.
Like I said they are now separating the series.
-
Ah ok. I think my basis was the US-onkyo site.
-
Actually, am a bit confused already. Seems there's an Integra name, distinct from the Integra Research name. They appear to be both under Onkyo with different flagship models and designations. They both have different websites.

At the audioholics site, my confusion eased a bit. Apparently Integra Research is the newest affiliate of Onkyo, Osaka. Their products had been jointly designed with US companies and are geared to the US market. Their HR receivers, power amps and DVD players are spectacular to say the least. They are priced more expensively than the Integra products.
-
After viewing it...INTEGRA RESEARCH models are almost the same as the flagship model of INTEGRA and ONKYO....except for the exterior.
I guess ONKYO has done this to make it to the higher-end of the market...giving their brand the "Signature" label. This is much more economical for them rather buying-up a Companies suchas being done by Harman Group; even the new owner of Denon/Marantz/Mc Intosh;r B&W-Classe; Klipsch-Mondial Acurus/Aragon.

To all Onkyo users:
What CD Player do you use with your Onkyo? I own the 797 and currently play CDs on my DVD Player. I'm planning to go with a NAD cd player, but would like some opinions first. Good components doesn't necessarily mean a good combination you know.
Thanks for any input! :)
-
I consider the NAD an excellent brand. Matching commercial CD players and receivers is mostly a non-issue. The presence of digital coax or toslink in either was once a point of contention, but I think that's well behind us now.
-
correction mr. joeyhomey, its 70w at 8 ohms; all the power you'll need for a small to medium sized room.
actually, the 494 is my baby. i love its midrange esp. when playing any of diana krall's cd's. i love its dynamics
and grunt when watching "fast and the furious". the euro's would not choose it as home theater receiver of the year for nothing. don't get me wrong; it's not because i'm an onkyo dealer that i praise this receiver
to high heavens. it's really something. mr. hilariodvd, if you have time, visit my shop and i'll give you a free
demo sir. i have made one unit as my mainstay (use it to demo speakers(and dvd's) i sell) and i'm keeping it.
btw, you'll be hearing a fully broken-in unit driving mission cinema 72 speakers (another best buy!).
hi! how much po itong receiver na ito? and saan yung store nyo? is this good for audio and video? please advise. thanks.
-

Thanks for the response av_phile1. Just to follow-up, I wonder why matching would be insignificant (or a non-issue)? Isn't it that you also consider the sonic character of what amplifies the signal? ???
-
I currently have an onkyo txsr502, its a clean sounding receiver though sounds a bit thin at times at high volumes.
-
Thanks for the response av_phile1. Just to follow-up, I wonder why matching would be insignificant (or a non-issue)? Isn't it that you also consider the sonic character of what amplifies the signal? ???
Nope, my experience with most commercial equipment out there makes matching between digital players and receivers not that significant. At least not as significant as between amps and speakers. But there are some audible differences between using receivers and separate power amps. But that is not so much due getting the right match as getting the better power amps.
-
Is Onkyo 484 still a good buy for a budget entry level AVR? Any comment on this model? Im totally newbie on this kind of hobby and this will be my first AVR. My friend is selling his unit cheap. I just recently bought a DVD player, and im just planning to buy a Sakura amp lang sana. But I still dont have a separate audio system, so i'd like sana an amp that is good for both music and HT. Thanks.
-
i think you can still consider this onkyo tx-ds484 for an entry level receiver but in the future, you might want to upgrade into newer receivers. if your cost in buying this receiver is far from the entry level receiver of onkyo i.e. tx-sr502, i think you can settle for this receiver in the mean time. just remember that this tx-ds484 operates only the basic processing of a receiver, dts and dolby decoding driving at 55 watts x 5 speakers. the older receivers of onlyo offers much better power supply than recent models. it doesn't have more connections for other inputs unlike the newer models.

Bro i think av_phile is pertaining to digital connection ( cd to avr by optical/toslink) if you hook up your cd player via digital connection then you'll be using the AVR's DAC.. but if plan to hook it up with RCA ( analog ) then thats a different story.. Matching now play a role..

Thanks for the response. Actually, that's how my cdp is hooked up, I'm using the analog connection since I want to use the DAC of my cdp.

haha! that's a lot of stretching there... :D
anyway, if torque is limited to those choices, then I would choose the 502 among the four since 1. it is a newer model and 2. it is not refurbished, and 3. it comes with DPL IIx capability, just in case you would want it.

torque, you're right the sr501's and sr600's were all refurbished by onkyo. anyone, are these unit recalled by onkyo??? BTW, if you're budget permits, get the TX-SR502 since full featured na siya at 75w/channnel (Fronts and surrounds @ 8ohms), DTS 6.1 discrete and matrix, DD/DPL II, HDTV-Ready Component Video Input/Output, Digital Inputs-3 Optical, 1 Coaxial, Subwoofer pre-out. This is nice for an entry level AVR. You also might want to consider other avr brands but if you prefer onkyos' then get the 502

Thanks Krets & Hans for d reply. It's way way below the price range hans mentioned. It was a real bargain. Im using it na and I could'nt ask for more ( for now :) ). It sounds good in music as it is in HT. Tsaka na ko mag-upgrade when budget permits.

Bro Congrats... try to learn more about your AVR so you'll maximize its feature and setting.. :) :)

bros,
magkano na ba ang onkyo receivers ngayon? what do you think of these prices, ano kaya ang best buy...
TX-SR501 (brand new) - 11K
TX-SR501 (refurbished by onkyo) - 8K
TX-SR502 (brand new) - 16.5K
TX-SR600 (refurbished by onkyo) - 14.7K
Where to get with those prices?
-
torque, you're right the sr501's and sr600's were all refurbished by onkyo. anyone, are these unit recalled by onkyo??? BTW, if you're budget permits, get the TX-SR502 since full featured na siya at 75w/channnel (Fronts and surrounds @ 8ohms), DTS 6.1 discrete and matrix, DD/DPL II, HDTV-Ready Component Video Input/Output, Digital Inputs-3 Optical, 1 Coaxial, Subwoofer pre-out. This is nice for an entry level AVR. You also might want to consider other avr brands but if you prefer onkyos' then get the 502
guys, thanks for the recommendation. nag-iipon pa lang naman ako but my options are to buy the reburbished sr501 + onkyo dvd player or just buy a brand new sr502. i will also scout for other brands, i'll probably check circuit city this weekend.
mattmatt, 49k! baka balian ako ng buto ni misis nyan...
Philander, I got it from ecost.com those prices were already converted to Peso. Here's the link

if you have easy to drive speakers, I would suggest the tx-sr502, i'm quite happy with this receiver ;)
-
well, even with the not-so-easy-to-drive speakers like the diamond 8.4 and diamond center. my tx-sr502 really is a bang for the buck. so good for both ht and audio/music.

Hi i'm new here in the pinoy DVD
I'm building our HT and recently purchased an Onkyo 502 receiver. Our media room is about 20 sq.m. Please advise me on what speaker I should purchase. I'm a newbie in the HT but was pretty experienced in the car audio since I was in college. Iv'ed auditioned a number of speakers and have taken out some of them. We are more for the clarity than power. Here is my shortlist.
A. Definitive Technologies
Pro Cinema 60
Promonitor Front
Promonitor Surround
Prosub
B. B&W with US audio sub
DM303 front
DM303 surround
LCR3 center
US audio 508
C. MK with US audio sub
k5 front
k5 surround
K7 center
US audio 508
We do 80% movie and 20 audio. My wife and I listened to A and we were happy with it. For us it sounded better than the warfdale, AR, Yamaha, Mission, gale, MS. We have set DefTech as our reference. We will still audition B and C in a few days. All options are in the P39t to P45t range. I know there are other options out there but we are pretty set on these 3. You might think why I'm pairing B&W and MK with US audio but I plan leave room for upgrade to a better sub in maybe a year’s time.
Thanks in advance,
Jay
-
Your comparison seems a wee bit slanted in favour of the Def Tech considering all the speaker components are from the same brand, presumably with seamless integration. OTH the others use another brand for the subwoofer. Perhaps you can try auditioning them without any sub and see if your preference still holds. If it still does, then go for it.

hi!
i am using onkyo tx-sr601 and energy take 5.2 speakers. if you will consider satellite speakers , give energy take 5.2 a try.
with 80% of your usage in movies, it's one of the best choices.
-
how much is the sr-701 here in the phils? ???
thanks. O0
-
last time i check, it's about 37k pesos. almost the same as the yamaha rxv 1400.
-
saan available ang onkyo at maganda mag audition... ;D

Sir,
Sa Makati cinema square. There's a lot of stores there.
Sa Edsa Shangrila Mall meron din. I forgot the name of the store, Sound Dimension yata, near B&W Store, 4th or 5th floor (I'm not sure)....

To all guru out there, after reading your lectures about home theaters i think i need one of my own. I need your professional advice on what to look for in a receiver and speakers, as in the technical things they put in their brochures. I kinda got used to mini components which is much more simple. Is the Onkyo home theater in a box good enough for 31k? Un pa lang kc na-audition ko.
-
lanceloth! i'm not a guru in this but what i can suggest you is browse the home theatre in a box section or simply htib's. there's nothing much discussion regarding speaker and amplifier modifications because they are packaged set-up. meaning the wattage and frequencies are limited to the specs but for me it will do if your use will be primarily home theatre. onkyo is a reliable brand but you can also try other htib's like pioneer, philips, panasonic, sony, yamaha etc. what model did you see? look for the specs from these brands and try to narrow down your choices which will stand out at a certain price bracket. look for the following: watts per channel, dts and dolby decoding, digital inputs, digital to analog conversions, frequency responses and dsp modes.
available ba sa atin un sr-701 na color black? ???
it is available, bihira lang.
cheers

Now that's something new. Care to elaborate?
under FTC, the right way of displaying power rating is
#Watts/channel, continous @ 8 ohms, #% THD
if you observe, power rating of some receiver is in maximum or pmpo to look more
powerful and impressive to consumers. This is what we called sales strategy. But, it does not mean they are inferior. ;)
You can check the power rating in 8 ohms (rms) at the back of owners manual or ask the distributor. ???

Hi, I need an info regarding onkyo or whaterver receiver available locally. I'm in the process of selecting a receiver for a 25sqm space to convert it as an A/V room, what would be a good receiver strong enough to cover the room. I am also thinking of getting a Wharfedale 8.4. Will this be good enough? Any info would surely help my life easier. Thanks

Sir, not that I am against onkyo, but if you will be using Wharfedale 8.4, I would suggest to get a Yamaha 650/Yamaha 750 (approx. P24k+ for 70% HT and 30% Audio set-up) or an Harman Kardon 330 (approx. P30k+ for 50% HT and 50% Audio set-up).
Good Luck! ;)

Thanks a lot control. Where can I get an HK who gives good deals and the Wharfes as well. :D

Sir,
I think you've got a pretty nice set-up there. No need to replace anything,
except if you're not happy with the way it sound. The set-up seems a little different as compared to the common set-up of the members here, maybe because the speakers (Jamo) are a bit expensive here. From your gear, only the Onkyo 701 I've heard but the set-up looks like a great match (based from the specs alone).
Hope it sounds good and I hope you're enjoying it.
Cheers..
-
Thanks Jcob......Well im enjoying watching movies specially dvd and div-x format but since i am based in riyadh, i am just wondering if B&W speakers are better than my jamo...kasi yun ang mga speakers na pinag-uusapan dito sa forum.... speaking of my Onkyo 701.....ok sya.....satisfied ako with the output of the sound....audio man o video...
I love the sound output kapag heavy metal ang nakasalang, ang lupit ng bass nya...
-
Sir,
Onkyo and B&W is a great match. Actually there's a store here that sells the onkyo and tandem with a B&W speakers. Kasi nga hindi masyado popular ditoang Jamo kasi isa lang yata ang nagbebenta. And I think they're selling the entry level Jamo. Although I read a lot of good reviews about Jamo, I think they're one or if I'm not mistaken the biggest speaker manufacturer. Sa itsura pa lang ng speakers mo sir, mukang maganda na, I bet maganda ring tumonog yan. But as always, the usual advise here is to audition it side-by-side to know the difference.
enjoy sir and merry christmas to you and to all pinoy there...

I bought an Onkyo TX-SR501 from one of our members here. Currently I'm using Wharfedale modus 3 (100 watts @ 8 ohms) as my fronts and Wharfedale valdus surrounds and center set (100 watts each channel, 4-8 ohms impedance. Now, my problem is parang mas malakas tumunog yung surrounds kesa sa fronts. I experienced this when using the all channel stereo mode pag nakikinig ako ng audio/music. Ang opinion ko, baka nahihirapan ang avr na patunogin ang modus 3 kasi 8 ohms ito while the normal impedance required of the avr for a speaker is 6 ohms. Dapat ko na bang palitan ang fronts ko? A newbee need your advise. TIA
-
Definitely the AVR will be sending more current to lower impedance speakers, so they can sound louder, assuming the sensitivities are the same.
This is easily remedied by adjusting the volume levels of the rears and fronts, independently, boosting your fronts or attenuating the rears. You should get identical loudness on all channels at your listening position.

Thanks Sir av_phile. I'll try your suggestion mamaya pag-uwi ng bahay. I read somewhere in the manual na pwede i-adjust independently the volume of each channel from 0 db to -12db or 12db, just don't know kung para saan yung function na yun.

That's precisely their function - to balance the perceived loudness of all channels at your listening point.
-
yep, you can adjust your settings through level calibration. you can refer on your manual, i think it's the third from the main menu. try to add some on your fronts then compensate on your surround speakers to equalize. if you want more vocals on movies, you can adjust also your center levels.
-
in my case, yung surrounds are set higher than the fronts tpos yung center pinaka mataas. my surrounds kasi are old component speakers :P siguro mataas mababa masyado sensitivity o kaya, hindi nya masyado nailalabas ang tunog at certain freq.

Mga sirs, another question lang po. I'm contemplating on buying a second hand Celestion Impact 40 to replace my current fronts (Wharfedale Modus 3). My question is, can Onkyo 501 handle this speaker considering that it is a three way speaker rated 150 watts more or less with 4 ohms impedance. Based on some reviews from the net, this speaker requires lots of power to really sing. I dont want to spend my hard earned savings kung di naman compatible sa system ko. Kindly post your opinion, thanks.
-
hmm. my opinion only
if you're driving a floorstander (i'm assuming if the celestion 3-way speaker), try to get a better amp/receiver rating at least 80 watts per channel driving 8 ohms. knowing an onkyo receiver, you have to crank the volume to make it louder. and i think the 501 has 65 watts/channel based on specs so baka mahirapan lang speakers mo. i'm not sure if the celestion speakers are easy to drive speakers but if it is, baka pwede rin yung onkyo 501.

Ah ok. But whatabout the rule in solid state amp not to use lower impedance speaker with that required by the amplifier (i.e. 8 ohms vs 4 ohms), does it apply here?
-
yes i think so juneaki, it applies to every speakers/amps. the latest onkyo amps can handle lower impedance speakers but higher impedance is much preferred.

Onkyo TX-NR1000(http://www.onkyousa.com/images/products/Receiver/txnr1000.jpg)
I wonder how this new flagship stacks up with the flagships of Yamaha, Denon and Pioneer? Initial cursory comparisons based on published specs seems to indicate that it is barely at par with the Yamaha Z9, Pioneer AX10AiG and the Denon AVR-5803 as the finest flagship HT receiver specimens on earth. ;D What's the local retail price?

Mag Z9 na lang ako. "Lang" ha ;D (Same price, same heft and weight, better features, higher power, well-reviewed, proven performance after 1 year in the market, 9.1 pa.) That's just me ofcourse.
-
How about the Denon 5803 or 5805?? this thing weights around 48Kgs.. I've heard one being demoed and at first I thought I was listening to a solid state amp and not to an AVR since an arcam, krell, and a accuphase amp is sitting next to this huge thing, until the tech guy crank the volume a bit further, that's the only time I knew that it was denon who's driving the very expensive and large speakers..... the sound was very good....this AVR is amazing.....
-
The Denon 5805 and the Pioneer AX10Aig are excellent competitors to the Yamaha Z9 for the title of the most powerful if not the finest receiver on earth - the mother of all receivers. All sharing about the same power, heft and weight. Not to mention SRP. Now comes the Onkyo TX-NR5000E which is the latest to join the battle. Still awaiting the entry of Rotel, HK and NAD, among others.
-
meron na ba sa inyo na ka try ng tx-sr702? ok kaya ito for 7.1. ano kaya ang magandang ipartner na speaker setup dito? Thanks in advance.
-
a friend of mine has a 702, paired with a B&W 602 S3 series/package speakers....and a sub...ASW 650...
all I can say is akala ko eh lumilindol na dun sa condo nya....hehehehe tinesting namin yung pirates of the caribbean DVD na kabibili ko at that time....
it is also very very good in music....
sadly he migrated to Canada already, and he brought his gears with him.... sayang, ganda pa naman nung 7.1 setup nya using all B&W speakers and all Onkyo AVR, DVD, and a CD player.....
sarap sanang tumambay sa kanila, naka-wide LCD TV na sya eh....hehehehe
-
i'm also want to get this 702 model in replacement of my yamaha rx v1400 which is for sale right now. I just bought it last month and no defect whatsoever. I'm more into audio kaya replace ko na lng ng onkyo.

Why not try TX-SR701 THX Certified?

Hi Bro, ;)
Any review on ONKYO TX-SR702! It was highly appreciated on foreign forum/reviews and rated with 5/5 ratings! The reviewers of the receivers were all credible... i got to hear this 702! >:D >:D >:D
***********************************************************************************
From www.audioreview.com
Product Model Year:
2004
Summary:
I thought I’d take a few minutes to share my reasons for selecting an Onkyo TX-SR702 receiver to power my dedicated home theater.
I’m running a 65” Hitachi projection HDTV, Klipsch RF-3 II mains, an RC-3 II center and four RS-35 surrounds. I am also using a Boston Acoustics PV700 sub.
Over the past couple of months, I’ve spent a considerable amount of time bringing home and auditioning the following receivers:
Onkyo TX-SR602
Yamaha RX-V1500
Denon AVR 3805
Harman Kardon AVR 430
Harman Kardon AVR 630
Pioneer Elite VSX-56TXi
Onkyo TX-SR702
I set out with a $500 budget to upgrade from a four year-old Yamaha 5.1 channel AVR and first went to Onkyo since I have had excellent results with their past products. Beginning with the TX-SR602, I immediately noticed an improvement in overall sound as the Onkyo was fuller in the low and mid range while being less “tiring” than the old Yamaha, which has now been relegated to my family room.
Since I hadn’t looked at new receivers in some time, I decided to continue my research and went to a local dealer to extensively compare a Yamaha RX-V1500 with the Elite VSX-56TXi and the Denon AVR 3805. All three were located in the same room and the salesman left me alone for over two hours while I ran every type of A/B comparison I could (using essentially the same speakers that I have at home). Realizing that each 7.1 receiver has common home theater, surround sound functions, I decided to focus on music reproduction for these tests and found that the Yamaha and Denon were nearly identical in sound quality. When compared to either Yamaha or Denon, the Elite felt smoother in the low and mid range. Especially when played at lower volumes. However, what the Elite enjoyed in “smoothness” it lacked in “detail”. Since I listen to allot of jazz and vocals… clarity of sound and the subtle nuances of a woodwind or female voice were lacking with the Elite. Out of these three… the Yamaha was the clear winner with its excellent sound definition and expanded home theater functionality.
While trying to get the smoothness of the Elite and the detail of the Yamaha, I decided next to spend a considerable amount of time researching and bringing home the Harman Kardon AVR430 and AVR630 receivers. The sound was excellent and clearly exceeded that of the Yamaha. Nice and smooth with great attention to detail and overall response. Both are 6.1 receivers and have now been replaced with the AVR435 and AVR635 respectively. I intended to step-up to the new receivers as soon as they became available… probably going with the AVR435 since it was closest (although still higher) to my original budget.
However, I continued to research the Harman Kardon lines (I had owned an HK receiver nearly 30 years ago), and I began to see several postings questioning the “build quality” of these receivers. A number of people had run into problems and returned or exchanged their initial units until they found one that worked. I also began to see how difficult they were to setup and “tweak” to achieve all of the benefits of their advanced technology.
Since my home theater is designed to be used by my wife and two children in addition to myself, I began to see how difficult HK would be for them to use when I wasn’t around to set it up for them. In addition, HK’s remote controls are large and unwieldy. Although backlit, the buttons were small and not well labeled for use in the darkness of a home theater application. I’m sure I would have enjoyed tweaking and playing with either of these receivers, however I value my marriage and family and could see where this would quickly become a problem that I wasn’t interested in wrestling with.
All of this led me back to my first impressions of the Onkyo TX-SR602 so I decided to take a closer look at the next step up… the TX-SR702.
In addition to more inputs, more power and a lighted remote, the TX-SR702 is also a THX Select certified receiver. While not meaning a whole lot… it does give this receiver some credibility that it meets or exceeds all specifications required for THX Select certification.
The sound of this receiver met all of my requirements. It was smooth and full yet extremely transparent and detailed at all volume levels. DVD audio is a joy to listen to through this setup and never gets tiring. It provides all of the expected 7.1 surround modes and handles them well for home theater. And, it’s easy to use with a well laid out (although large) backlit remote control.
And finally… buying this receiver online for just over $600 (shipped) from onecall.com got me everything I wanted in an upgraded system without exceeding my budget by very much. I’m happy AND my wife is happy. Good stuff!
A final word on onecall.com… this was my first experience with them and I’ll go back for future purchases. First, they are an authorized Onkyo dealer. In addition to a well laid out website, the person I spoke with on the phone was friendly and helpful i

hey guys! what do you think about pairing the sr702 w/ b&w 604 s2? i heard that the 604's are power hungry, do you think the 702 will match well? my room is about 40sqr mtrs. thnx!
-
Any 503 owners here?
-
ok ba ang tsr501?
-
ok ba ang tsr501?
I have a 501 bought almost 2 yrs ago, I did not upgrade anymore since I am more into audio now. However, will advise you to go into entry levels of yamaha or harman kardon. Mas malakas sila lalo na on powering those subs if you are to go more into HT. Be patient and take more time testing brands and their respective models. With a tight budget, you should be very patient and careful when choosing.

thanks

einnoc got the marantz sr 4500. I might get the 501.
Onkyo vs. Marantz. 7.1 vs. 6.1
Wharfes vs. MS

Wharfes vs. MS
the 501 has already an option for the rear center, well for the speakers, Wharfes will match since series 8
is at the range of 100 watts and 6 ohms impedance. I'm not familiar with MS specs though. AVR and receiver are both I think still on the buy and sell thread. If you are to go to series 9, I suggest 9.4 model for the fronts.
Just an advise based on personal taste and experience.

I was watching this movie where a guy is waiting on a doctor's clinic when suddenly I heard what I thought at first to be clipping. I was totally pissed off, then I heard a DING! It wasn't clipping but an out of scene typwriter sound (someone typing in another room).
Talk about detail.
My HT stuff-Toshiba 28 Z1P, Onkyo 501, WHarfe 8.4, Diamond 9 CS, tomorrow I will get my WH2 surrounds and (rear) center, all pre-owned, all rock-bottom price. Thank God for multimedia and PinoyDvd members for all the tips and discounts. :)
LG Dvd player is brand new.

for the best set up for the LFE (1) set the subwoofer mode on the receiver to 1 (2) set the receiver cutoff to 80 (3) set the sub unit cutoff to 70..... and BOOM at zero channel volume setting, your HT area will rock...... Happy HT viewing.

BOOM that's BASS right?
Thanks.
-
can the onkyo 503E power 4ohm spkrs for extended periods?
indicated in the back panel: 4ohms minimum or 6 ohms per speaker ???

BOOM that's BASS right?
Thanks.
yes........... mine is set to 2 (channel volume) and it already is able to rattle the area. answered your PM.

Glad I found this board. I may be totally out of the loop you guys are in now but want to ask a speaker related question from the experts:
A backgrounder muna: I have an old Onkyo TX-SV525, bought it non sinaunang labas pa ng mga DSP/Dolby Pro-Logic amps pa. It's been a very reliable amp for my modest needs these past ten plus years. I used to have a full HT set-up sa start, but since occsasional lang my then watching movies on vhs and now dvd's, na pare down to the basics nalang. I have an even older pair of Cerwin Vega D-1's as my main speakers nalang. This has served me well even for my audio needs. Now I use this set-up almost everyday to play my excercise dvd's, using a Pioneer dvd player, and listen to my new wave collection from time to time. Buo naman yung audio part ko, all old components as well (Kenwood 5 cd changer, old Pioneer eq) pero works well for me. Btw I'm female that's why I use excercise dvd's. ;) I also love stereo compo's from before pa, know how to set them up, pero not to the level of expertise you guys have ha. :)
So now my q: I want to change my speakers na sana. Don't want to go all HT kasi pangit yung configuration ng room ko. Maybe add a center speaker and sub later. I used to have a Polk RM 3000 sub-sat combo as my main speakers. Want to ask what main speaker brands you'd recommend, on small budget lang ako now, mga P10K below for a pair. My Onkyo is 80W/channel, ok siya driving my 100W C-V's naman. The impedance ng amp ko is min 4-8 ohms. If I can get na 3-way speakers all the better so I can pass on a sub muna.
For now just need recommendations for brands na good match for my Onkyo. At sa mga nababasa ko dito ang dami talagang brands out there. :o I wouldn't know where to begin looking and where to even ask. I've tried asking at a few audio places and when you're a woman asking a salesmen, they can be condescending ha, assuming na wala kang alam. Which at this point is true but why let them know! ;) So I appreciate any feedback you Onkyo guys can give me. Thanks a lot! :)
-
Hi Airborne03,
my Onkyo is paired with a Gale 3040 (3-way)Floorstander, bought last year P9K at 5th Ave, Park Square, Makati. Sounds good naman, though I use the combi mainly for HT. You can browse the specs on the Gale thread on the speaker section. You can also get some ideas on the same section under the "Recommend a Speaker" thread. Another brand that may fit your budget is the floorstander of the Wharfedale 8 series, I think it is the 8.4 model.
-
Hey airborne03!
You might wanna take up devo's suggestion of trying out Wharfes for your Onkyo. I did just that last year and I've never heard my CDs sound better! Great performance for HT as well. As someone who just "graduated" from mini-compos and HTIBs I dare say that because of this setup, I'm never lookin' back. That is, of course, until the next upgrade... ;)
Good luck on your search, let us know what you end up buying. ;D
-
Hey thanks guys! :) The Wharfs have come to my attention kasi nga the price is within budget, especially yung mga na sa For Sale section, I better check if meron now. I just needed to know if they're ok kasi nga I can't drag my amp with me when I audition them. devo: I'll read up on the Gale brand, it's new to me.
I'll let you know what happens too. Thanks again.

Curious lang po ako anu po ba tong features nato with my onkyo "speaker distance" my audible differenced ba if I changed it, 'coz mine dont have. is this feature use only for speaker location referenced only.pa explain naman po.thanks
-
The speaker distance is in reference to the listening position. You have to measure (in meters) the distance of all the speakers'(fronts, centers, rears and sub/s) position from the listening position ie. couch, bed. Once measured, input the measurement dun sa avr speaker distance setting.
In regards to the difference it makes, I think it will have more effects on a bigger listening area. It is the AVR's way of knowing how much power it will have to produce in order to send the sound signal across the listening position based on the distance settings (the farther the distance-the louder and wider the sound would be produced).
I'm just guessing. ;D

a newbie in speakers, HTs as well as in this forum.
a friend just replaced his old (and according to him defective amps) ONKYO TX-SV525 (same as yours airborne03) with a yamaha amp.
to cut the story short. my friend gave his ONKYO to me (along with this headache). how can i test this amp? what speaker should i use? can i just use the speakers attached in the mini compos just for the sake of testing? i dont want to shell money for something that is defective.
i dont know about setting up an HT or something like it. just want to make use of this amp given to me if it is still in good condition. as ms. airborne03 said 80/channel and 4-8ohm impedance for this specific ONKYO model. i dont have the specification of this amp, so i dont know the capabilities of this unit. what i only have is the manual which i downloaded from the net.
if proven na it is defective, is there an ONKYO service center here where i could get it fixed?
thanks.

I am using TX-SR501, but i believe it would be of help sharing to you my experience with thi AVR. Like my AVR, i think yours have an option to increase the volume of surround speakers as well as the other speakers (center, left and right mains and also the s-woofer). Just perform the test tone function and adjust individually the volume of each speaker according to your wish/taste. Higit sa lahat, read your manual.

i already put the volume of my surround to 12db sagad na & yet bitin pa rin sa surround.
unlike yummy ang ganda ng surround.just my cents 8)

yamaha rx450 gamit ko magaling talaga yammy sa HT kaya lng more audio kase ko kaya balaka kong kumuha ng onkyo tx-sr503... guys tanong ko lng kung ano bang pinagkaiba ng high carent sa nde high carent pagdating s audio ? napansin ko kase don s onkyo ko n int amp (100w) mas maganda tunog b&w dm303 ko (audiophile CD) kumpara ko s yammy 450 (85w) mas labas yung bass s onkyo, don s 450 ko bitin ako s sound pagdating s music ;D

Im using a 501 and I hate to admit na parang bitin nga sa surrounds even at max channel vol. levels. The remedy I did was to bring the speakers closer and I found out na parang lack of surrounds output is media related. There would be times na ingat naman ako sa levels because too much naman yung output making the sound garbled and minsan nga ganun...parang bitin, depende sa movie. I have not yet tried any avr's before so I don't know if these findings are accurate and /or applcable to other brands as well.

dou you think speaker wire na branded will make my surrounds vilola hindi na bitin? na audition ko kc
yummy ganda ng surrounds but not so good for music unlike onkyo.(40 series)
i think yung mga movie na less surround still you can hear it sa yummy kasi makalansing yung yummy.
na sasars kasi ko mag upgrade ng AVR para solve din ako sa TIA
fish tayo ;D
-
I guess may Yamaha AVR din will na suit your musical preferences and since sold ka na sa ikot ng Yammie, I suggest you audition some and go ahead with it. Remember, it's just the new year. ;)

im ready now to buy a wharfedale speaker but until I cant decide which one to buy i have my set up txsr601 and my cht10r, guys recommend naman kayo im eying w/ the 9.2 or 9.1 plus 9cs and 9sr for surround. Also any review sa mga user ng ganitong kombo. thank you
-

Or you may try other surround speakers na makalansing at may higher sensitivity of say 89db pataas.

Bro ano problem ng onkyo mo? I have the same model bought way back early 90's pa and up to this day ok pa performance nya esp sa audio. The user cranks it up 3/4 of the vol level and it can sustain it for hours.One time ko lang sya napa service,blown fuse from electrical surge.Service center before was at west ave yung pioneer service center sila din yung dealer. :)

Sorry now lang I saw this. Strange to find someone with an avr exactly like mine pa. When I had my ht set-up before, I never had probs with the surround. I never use this config na kasi pangit yung watching/listening position sa room ko (my bed basically :)) in relation to the speaker positions. Anyway, yes, use what you have muna to test all the speaker connex in the back: front, rear, center and sub (if you have one). Use proper impedance nalang for all your speakers, you have 2 choices naman. Then use the Prologic Theatre to engage all 5. Also check the remote, the center and rear speakers have it's own volume control. Wala ba yung specs sa manual you downloaded? It should all be there. If you still need it pm me I have my manual pa. ;)
Have you tried connecting other components to it na? Are they all working? So far the only glitch I ever had with this happened very early on, had a part replaced sa service center sa West avenue, nandun pa yata, near sa Villman ito, across from it. After that may 10 years na 'to sa akin and still ok. :) Let me know what happens and good luck.

I think this is what happened to mine like 2 months non binili ko. Basta lumabas yung "Protect" ba yun sa panel kasi nga nag ka surge siguro tapos bumigay na siya. Nice to know yours is still in good working order. Believe nga ako sa brand na 'to. ;)

bro i already verify using kef cresta & b&w 303 both with 89db ;D
medyo bitin lang ko kasi yung iba na dvd na konti surrounds halos parang
wala ka ng marinig unlike sa yummy na avr makalansing pa rin.

I think your surrounds ay malayo sa 'yo when you're watching movie. Maybe naka-wall mount ito. If fund is not a problem with you, i suggest you buy a dedicated AVR (like yammy) for HT purposes and a separate dedicated integrated amp for music/audio listening (needs separate speakers too). Yung Onkyo mo pwede mo i-swap or i-offer for sale sa buy n sell section. Pero kung problema ang pondo, i recommend na ilapit mo na lang ang surround mo sa listening position mo. Maybe you can buy a pair of stand so that you can place it just behind you at ear level.
Yung set-up ko kasi (see HT picture galery of PDVD) sa bedroom, i positioned the left and right surround just one feet from the bed placed in a DIY stand kaya dinig na dinig ko ang surround sounds.

thx bro juneaki ;D actually tempted talaga ko magupgrade for yummy 750 nakasale na lang for 19.5k

also an ONKYO user..... check mo gauge ng surround wires mo, I'm using gauge 12 generic and wharfes surrounds with I think 87db sensitivity, OK naman siya with 75% volume of the channel. might be encountering losses if you are using a thin wire for a long distance set up. hope this helps.

natabunan na pala ito...
anyway, due to schedule constrains, i just tested the ONKYO AVR last weekend and the front main speakers is still OK. but the other two slot for the front speakers (i dont know what do you call it guys) seem to be not functioning anymore. right now im only planning to acquire a pair of front speakers for this. so this is not an issue to me.\
@airborne03
how do i test the other outputs i.e. center and rear, if the connection from my source is only using two RCA cables? == connectted to the "front speaker inlet" of my DVD player.

You need speakers with the wires then. I've never tried one with rca jacks, pang mutli-media yata yung speakers mo? Unless you strip the wires and remove the jacks? Don't know if this can be done. ??? Hope someone can weigh in about this.

SIRAIN....2 stars nga lang ito sa What HiFi UK. Better audition for DENON or Marantz Range Series likewise Rotel. Sa mga nakausap kong nag may-ari ng Onkyo, unang bumibigay ang voltage regulator / Power Transistor in less than a four year period.
-
Hindi naman cguro. I have onkyo 656 and a B&W 600 set-up for years and yet i'm still using it. Satisfied ako, until now, sa audio / HT performance eventhough its a Dolby Digital. Maybe it depends sa owner, how it set-up and sa orientation nya to use it. ;D

Hi Guys...
Just want to ask somehting about Onkyo. I manage to peep through the top grills and saw the PCB inside. Tanong ko lang kung talagang ganung ang loob ng isang Onkyo? I mean what I saw is that parang nde machine soldered yung sa PCB level... parang handcrafted.
Ganun ba talag yun? Or peke ang ganung Onkyo?
Onkyo owners... please englighten me =)
Thanks.
c_rhomel
-
Hello c_rhomel!
Actually I already ask that topic sometime ago. According to their technician, we should be happy if it's handcrafted cgurado na matibay and makapal ang pag-solder. Unlike kapag machine manipis! ;)
-
thank you sir... at least nasagot na rin ang tanong sa aking isipan
hehehe
-
Fellow onkyo receiver owners,
Ask ko lang if your main speakers sounds louder when switching in stereo mode from 5-channel mode? I have a tx-ds494 receiver, and I am just wonderin' if this still holds true today. Thanks!
-
There's a good chance a receiver's front channels will sound louder in stereo mode than in multichannel mode at a given volume setting. That's because the power supply is providing its current to just 2 channels in stereo mode, whereas it will have to supply 5 channels in 5.1 mode drawing the same current level.
-
onkyo fans,
please check the web site of onkyo europe. they have now 2 new avrs, the 604e and 674e.

ONKYO WILL BE AT THE ALABANG AUDIO FAIR 2006. Check out the HT set-up at the Hi-Fi Lounge Room.

Hi guys, anybody have info on Onkyo TX-SV545 Receiver? Kahit basic specs lang and year this ones came out?
Thanks
-
Onkyo TX-SV 545 was my first avr. It has DD but no DTS decoder. 70 watts output per channel (5 channels). I bought it in 1998. I don't remember the other specs. Hope this helps.
-
I'm using Onkyo 503, with A an B set of Front Channels, each channel pumps 95W RMS @ 8ohms.
B channel can be used in other location/room to a have a set of speakers, right?
If A and B are both playing, the 7.1 will be reduced to 5.1, maybe because the power is being used by B set of speakers. Is it possible to combine the front A and B channel to have a higher power? (i don't know the technical terms for bridging and bi-amp)
A Front channel + B front channel (positive to positive and negative to negative) then to speaker
I will combine the A and B only for stereo, but setting to A again for movies 7.1
Is it possible? I only made this wild idea as a temporary solution to maximize my AVR potential.
this will be a guage on my upgrades.
TY
-
I could be wrong, but if the manual doesn't specify bridging, I won't do it.
Bridging capability is specified in most dedicated power amps, but I haven't seen such with AVRs.
-
My AVR doesn't have pre out, what do you think is the best solution aside from upgrading to more power AVR? If I want to add tube amps.
-
My AVR doesn't have pre out, what do you think is the best solution aside from upgrading to more power AVR? If I want to add tube amps.
Have 2 separate setups. One for HT and one for audio (tubes). You get the best of both HT & audio. I do this with my current setup but I have to swap wires when I go for my (hybrid) tubes.
Easiest way IMO to swap between 2 setups (w/ one set of speakers) is to have 2 sets of wires with banana plugs at the speaker end, then swap between audio & HT wires at the speaker end, its kinda difficult to crawl & unplug from the amplifier end.
You have to be extra cautious & make sure the wires wont short each other if you turn one setup on. ;)

Maybe that would be effective with higher end receivers claiming ALL CHANNELS DRIVEN (ACD) power ratings for their amp section, meaning each channel can give the posted power rating on each channel at the same time . NAD, Rotel, Arcam, HK does this, also all power amps are ACD. But I noticed that ACD receivers usually DO NOT split their outputs to A & B speakers.
Most mass market receivers rate their power ratings in 2 channels (thus the high numbers) and divide them among 5-7 channels for HT. Let's face it, to make a true 100w x 5-7ch amp is not cheap & will be too heavy & no space will be left for the other electronic parts of the AVR. Just look at & try to lift a 100w x 5 power amp and you will know what I mean.
There are new mid level receivers now ( rated 2 ch, then divide to 7) that you could assign your 6th & 7th channel power to the front via "bi-amping". But I find it questionable if it will give a genuine boost since they will get the power from the same 2 channel source anyway. :-\
But if there is an ACD receiver that can give its 6th & 7th channel power rating to the fronts for Bi-amping, now THAT is a true power boost.

As usual, great advice again, I tried the B Speaker and there is no audio coming out from it, possibly it needed an external power to drive it, but it is more complicated than borrowing the 6th and 7channel if its really pumping 95WRMS per channel at 8ohms as the manual say, it will be a great boost.
Assuming I have another 2 channel amp let say 50 rms @ 8ohms, because I dont I have a pre-out I will get the signal from the front channel that has 95RMS.
Is It possible?
What do you think will be the output from the 2nd amp, is it 145 rms?
The front speaker has 2 sets of terminal (hi and lo) what will be the wire connection?
ONKYO NEW AMP speaker
+ - ________ + - ___________ hi + -
l l lo + -
l________________________________l
I will split the wire from Onkyo going to New amp to drive the hi
and from Onkyo to speaker to drive the low. Is this possible?
TY

I previously owned a 501, and like your 503 it has no pre-out, so you wont be able to connect an external amp. More so, it will be disastrous to connect another amp on the speaker outputs of your 503. You can just do with what the 503 offers, and later on upgrade to another AVR which has pre-outs.

HAVE CHOSEN....I THINK!
am pretty tired as it has been a long long day but wanted to keep you updated in "real time".
As you know I am no Audiophile and would be hard pressed to find the vocabulary to compare the products I am demoing so please put up with my novice approach.
Firstly.....a few hic ups today. Not enough speaker wire in the truck. They were to bring a spool but they only brought 20 meters when needing 25-30 . ...oh well.....
Bought some speaker brackets from perfect vision which would have been great....but the back of the atoms/titans are a polymer type resin not wood so to drill a hole was not recommended. The ADP 370 surround dipole was also of the same polymer substance on the back so again could not drill( and the bracket that the 370 comes with is not adjustable ...having said that... Never should have bought brackets in the first place as Paradigm provides a swivel bracket mount upon request for both the atom and the titan..DUH! So no worries here. Must order them. Unfortunatley for me the Paradigm supplier is closed till Jan 2 or 3
Unwrap the Onkyo and the black one I ordered turned silver ....no biggy the demo will go on!!!!
Set up the speakers with the Atom as surrounds. The titan is just a bit too big as I feared with my limited head room and space.
Unwrapped the Denon avr 2807 and thought it looked great. Powered it up and the sound was real clean with the few CD's I played.. At 110 watts per channel I thought this baby was about to blow me out of the water but must say....it did not. ( These are CD's that I and family had listened to many a time for many a year.). System sounded real good though. Went on to some movie clips to see how the surrounds would work and they did the trick. Speakers and receiver seemed to go pretty well with each other. Played a live Rock concert on DVD which is crystal clear in respect to quality. Like the 90 watt Denon I auditioned in the paradigm shop I slowly cranked it up to full volume. Was really surprised when the volume indicator stopped moving. I was looking for the additional 10 watts you had recommended to me before). Must also say that on the highest volume the speakers seemed to break up...got muddy...and I was huffing and puffing with what I hoped was Adrenalin. Unfortunately the Adrenalin was really ....well......dissapointment. My son looked at me and said....that didn't sound to good there dad. Asked myself Why were the monitor 7's whimpering out?
Decided to give the Onkyo a try. As soon as I put on the same DVD at low levels I noticed a major difference in the body and tone of the music. Raised the volume higher and higher and as I did the smile on my face got bigger and bigger. Cranked up the music to about 90% which was louder than the Denon at full volume and had no break up or muddy sound. Clear as a bell it was. Cranked up the volume to full and it sounded real good.....no distortion at all. Tossed on the "red hot Chili peppers live at Slain Castle and it was killer. Wife and kids came right out and said the Onkyo was better for them. In my opinuion it was also better for me...big time! Very different than the Denon...much more Alive and open....and more powerful to boot. Proceeded to listen to the same CD's as before of Usher (to test the sub) some rock, and even some pop (Madonna for the wife) and it was all kick Asssss take no prisoners.
Am happy with the Paradigm speakers and am pleased with the Onkyo. The combo to "my ears" seems to be the "REAL DEAL"!

I am currently using an entry level Onkyo AVR for my (2ndary) bedroom setup. Its a good performer for its price & very warm (or thick) sounding for an entry level AVR. I combined it with a rather bright sounding JBL satellite speaker system. Great combination, IMO.
I also heard this perform w/ Mission bookshelf speakers, excellent!
A "recommendable" entry level AVR if I may say so.
-
magkano entry level or cheapest na onkyo avr?
-
I saw a 503 selling for 18k at park square.
-
how much is the onyo 604, 703 and 801?
-
Anyone knows which Onkyo model has HDMI 1.2a & has the best lowest price?
I saw Yamaha VR-1700 but cost a whopping 58k :o Hopefully, within the next 6 months, prices will drop further ::)
-
I am seriously considering a 2nd hand 501 being sold to me here in PDVD at P10k and an HK AVR135 at P14k? Which do you think is a better buy? Or should I consider buying the 503 at P18k as mentioned by Baboinsky. TIA
-
@jptransfiguracion
If you can spend more for a new receiver then get the new one, but if your budget can't then get the 2nd hand AVR units being sold to you. Also consider the specs of the AVRs that you have in mind and compare which has the best specs for you.

Hi!
Our precious 11 year old Harman-Kardon AVR-80 -- have served use really great, solid power and superb sound quality (am into rock music & DVDs... during that it cost me an arm and a leg... made in japan, cheaper models were made in korea then... dunno now) just gave up on us this week.
Briefly going over the reviews here... I'm looking into acquiring a new Yamaha or Onkyo receiver... Whats your recommendation for sub-30K & sub-50K pesos?
Cheers!
Sonny

Hi Sonny....
Harmons reputation preceeds itself (just like Denon) before one even mentions the word receiver. But I gots to say....the HK I demoed......although having merrit, seemed to be a bit ....LACKING..(just like the Denon receiver). I often wonder why? It made the JBL and the Infinity speakers I demoed seem shallow and that left me scratching my balding head.
DUDE....do a demo of the onkyo at "sights and sounds" Edsa Shangrila plaza.......try out the Onkyo 803.( 51,000 pesos)....and compare it to any DENON model. I am sure you will walk away....AMAZED at the difference.
Your decision to go with Onkyo IMHO will be reinforced BIG TIME .

Hi guys, where can I locally find the cheapest or reasonably-priced, brand-new Onkyo receivers?

Did you demo the highest model HK? I know that they were out of stock of the 6 series for the whole December to Jan. To compare a low model HK & a high model Onkyo is not an "apple to apple" comparison. :)
The lower models pale in comparison to the powerful upper model receivers... of any brand.
-
I think Onkyo SR803 or SR 804 receiver will be comparable to Denon 380x series and HK 3xx series.
Pricewise, I think they probably have a big difference....
Those 3 receivers mentioned above have different characteristics in sound reproductions, what maybe be good sounding to me might not be perceived the same by others, that's why I generally dont dissed receivers that I havent chosen to give respect to other's perception.
Also some people perceived that "as long as my Amp/AVR produces much louder sound than the other Amp/AVR, then what I've got is much better" hehehehehe I alway's encounter this kind of people who always look at the wattage of the amp......like, "pare ilang watts ba yung kaya nung receiver mo, yung sa akin kase eh 1 million watts eh" herherherehrehrehrer ;D
But as you get mature with this hobby, you approach this in different perspective..... ;)
well diff. strokes for diff. folks sabi nga nila.....
-
I think Onkyo SR803 or SR 804 receiver will be comparable to Denon 380x series and HK 3xx series.
Its HK 6xx series nga pala, yung 3xx series is lower mid level nila. ;)
I have owned 2 high model receivers of different brands since I started this hobby, all I can say is that at that price class/ level, they all perform equally well, each having its own strength (processing, detail, musical reproduction, surround, midrange) & its up to the buyer's subjective taste to decide w/c one among them suits their preference.
There is no "Pangit" na receiver at this price/ performance class, merely a "preferred" receiver.

But as you get mature with this hobby, you approach this in different perspective..... ;)
Kung lakas & wattage lang ang paguusapan, HK6 series should have been auditioned as well. With 1110w power consumption usually found in THX ultra receivers, 50 AMPS (my external power amp only has 40 amps!!!) and 75w all 7 channels driven (other AVR's in this class were found to only produce 45w all channels driven ;)), you can crank 7 (not 2) floorstanders in tandem and the HK will just ......smile :).
I wonder kung kaya ng ears....
-
Agree with you guys. One thing i learned in this hobby (learned it first at kotseaudioclub) is not to diss other brands that I havent chosen, specifically amps, receivers and speakers. Its really a personal decision/taste. What may sound good to you, may not sound so good to others. Thats why my recommendation is to audition, audition and audition. Let your ears decide, not somebody else's perception. ;D

Hello again guys,
Really need to get a new receiver, my dad's bugging me for a while already bu have been busy with work since the start of the year.
Any recommendation on where I could find good selection of Onkyo receivers at reasonable price? I looking at acquiring a tx-sr604 or tx-sr674.
Cheers and thanks!

Hi sir Sonny,
well as far as store, Marami talagang options for this.
Here are some stores where you can start:
-SGT at Tordecellias st. Makati;
-Sights and Sound at Shangrila mall Ortigas or
-Sound Dimension sa Park Square Makati.
now as for the "Prices", best is to talk to the owners and get best possible discounts.
Isa lang naman ang price nyan lahat for they have MSRP's to follow. discounts nalang nagkakaiba.
Now as for the 2 models you're eyeing for, i sugest got for the 674, equipt yata sya ng Audessy EQ2, w/c from the review i read was really good in balancing and producing the best sound possible for the room in regards with the speakers.
Hope this helps.
CHEERS!
-
Sayang lang talaga sa Onkyo, 7 series pa saka may pre outs :(
-
That's also my observation with other models, even Yamaha. It's the higher models that have pre-outs. I find that ironic. Because it's the lower models that will most likely benefit from upgrading with higher powered outboard amps. Their higher models already have sufficient power most of the time to require outboard amps. And their flagships would rarely need one. Pre-outs should be standard. Gaano lang ba mag lagay ng 6 RCA terminals? ;D
-
Agree sir. It must be with the budget models, all costs are being minimized. Thats why those sub 20k receivers w/ pre outs are quite useful.
BUT, the question of processing comes next ... cant help but wonder if the higher models have better processing. If you look at the specs of most receivers, their processor models are different w/ higher model receivers. SARS "what ifs" still abound, hehe
Bah, this is such an expensive hobby. :D
-
Bah, this is such an expensive hobby. :D
hehehe cant help myself but agree with you on that one mate ;D
that's why some time I forced myself not to go to A/V shops nor browse the internet for these kind of things......
SARS prevention on my part...hehehehehe :D
-

Definitely I'd expect higher models to have better digital processing. Some higher models share that same chips but implement it differently, like having channel independence. And of course you should see better video processors as well that upscales your S-video to component or progressive. Some audio nuts actually use flagship receivers as pre/pro mated to more power Aragon or Bryston power amps. That's because these flagship receivers often have the same or even superior pre/pro circuitry of many standalone pre/pros costing even more. I know a lot of members in other AV forums like audioholics who use the Yamaha Z9 just as a pre/pro. ;D
-
Because it's the lower models that will most likely benefit from upgrading with higher powered outboard amps.
this is because in many low priced models of any brand, the tone control is incorporated with the power amps...they save money here, (production costs) since they were spared one stage of amplification...
amps topology is not unique with any brand, they go thru a fad-cycle, makers of these amps use chips and semicons that are available at the time of manufacture, or they build amps based on what is currently produced by semicon companies...
economy of scale, that is how it is called, all designed to make a profit.... ;D
-
I guess it makes sense...
Higher models have higher power ... the processor knows that & will decode accordingly & give signals (to the power amp) that it knows will be easily handled by its own internal amp.
Lower models however have lower power... so the processor will not give signals (to the power amp) that can fry its own internal amps.

higher models are sold at a higher price, lower models at a lower price......this is all about bussiness, making profits...
manufacturers are out to get the biggest share of the market...so they come up with several models all aimed at getting a broader spectrum of the income groups....there's got to be a model to fit your budget... this makes business sense...

... or are you born yesterday??? ??? ;D ;D ...
take the yamaha cycle Z-series / 1xxx-2xxx series / 4xx-7xx series
yesterday Z series has processor 3, 1xxx-2xxx has processor 2, 4xx-7xx has processor1
today, Z series has processor 4, 1xxx-2xxx has processor 3 (from Z series), 4xx-7xx has processor2
tomorrow, Zseries will have processor 5, 1xxx/2xxx the processor 4 ...
For 4xx-7xx, a little addition of connectors to make distinction between models as you go up - and do you still believe they have different amps inspite of different marketing rating they hyped? ;D ;D ;D
Same with 1xxx/2xxx series
So you want Z-series feature processor, wait 1-2 generation of model cycle and you will get it in the 4xx-7xx models! ;D ;D ;D

I have a few generations of Yamaha catalogs & noticed indeed long ago that Yamaha trickles down its older technology from the high models to its lower ones, like the YPAO.
But the processor ??? I have to look that up. Where did you get this info?
I dont doubt that the 4xx-7xx series use the same amps, but of course they use different THX certified amps for the 1400-2600 series . With that being said, I wonder how the higher model processors that once handled THX certified amps (that could handle more difficult power loads) be transferred to the newer lower models, and these processors will send the same demanding signals to the lower powered amps? There is a processor to amplifier relationship that has to be addressed IMO.
Just wondering. ???
-
Ok, just browsed through catalogs and searched the net.
Yamaha Z-9 YSS 930 x 4
Yamaha 1400 to 2500 YSS930
Yamaha 34* to 75* YSS 938
Yamaha 1200 to 2300, 3200 YSS 938
So ahobbit is partially correct, but the Z9 just has 4 processors. Maybe someday they will bring down the YSS930 to the lower models, but they usually take 2-3 years to trickle down the YSS's from what I saw. There are no indications of the processors used starting from the 1600 series.

Hi MAtZTER,
What model of Onkyo are using for your secondary set-up? Speakers? ;D
I'm having a hard time deciding whether to go to mid level or entry level. thanks
-
Onkyo 494. I have been enjoying it a lot lately since my wife just gave birth & doesnt want to go down to our main HT room to watch movies. I find its performance w/ my JBL SCS satellite speaker set very satisfactory.
Go for a mid level (30+k) receiver IMO, its flexible cuz:
1.) you can either go for an entry level speaker or mid level speaker.
2.) Performance is better than entry levels: so less SARS. :D
3.) Speakers are easy to sell, unlike receivers.

Yah, i totally agree with you... ;D Maybe i'll go for a mid level receiver. Maybe HK340 (ooops! ;D this is an onkyo thread) I narrowed down my choices to Onkyo or HK paired with mission m52 for my 60/40 HT/music preference so less SARS just as you suggested...Thanks a lot Sir Matz...You made it easier for me to decide and make sound decisions that would prevent costly mistakes... ;D
-
just wanted to share
in my experience onkyo's are warm sounding. before i got my tx-sr702, i tried driving my floorstanders w/ an entry level pioneer 509. the sound was thin and the receiver would go into protection mode everytime there was a loud scene. when i changed to the 702 bumilog ang tunog and the receiver never shut down even when i set all speakers to large.
the only problem is the 702 can run pretty hot. it never gave me any trouble pero nakakatakot lang dati when i kept it in a cabinet, the top of the receiver would become too hot to touch. ok na ngayon now that it's in an open rack but it can still run pretty warm. its even warmerthan my outboard amp even though i only use it as a prepro now

My pleasure bro, I have made my own costly mistakes, learned from it & would not want this costly constant upgrading to happen to others. Thus I recommend here & there on getting a good receiver firsthand. Mahirap ang "bitin".
As much as the Onkyo I have in my bedroom is satisfactory as my secondary setup, I cranked it yesterday after reading your post. Hirap pa rin sya sa very demanding scenes. But that doesnt usually happen much as my 2ndary setup is for watching drama, old films or p***ted only ;D.

I so appreciate the sharing of experiences! This is my exact experience with entry level receivers & floorstanders, owned or auditioned. I notice that they tend to go bright on demanding scenes, maybe not enough juice? Thats what I have been sharing this often in these threads but....nm, wont speak na lang, other people's experience is affirmation enough.
Thats why Onkyo surprised me with its warm sound even w/ its entry level model (used bookshelf speakers though).
-
i agree. it's better to save up and buy the best you can from the start. it's more costly if you compromise and end up not liking what you have and then upgrading. hassle pa to sell your old gear. besides its so satisfying building your system piece by piece :D

Remote Comparison
(http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1201/1321856712_e64b26233d_b.jpg)
Note: No subs Yet and auto calibration not used yet.
speakers are wharfedale evo
Initial Toughts:
Connectivity:
The 3 HDMI ports are just about right to cover any current and future HDMI connections i will have.
You can reassign digital connection to any any mode you wish, but analog connections are not re-assignable.
xyvcc color space support is good if your LCD and source supports it.
Heat:
a bit warm to the touch but nothing serious... but i 've never set volume beyond -10db
pop noise:
non noticed
Switch noise:
there is a certain "switch" noise that occurs when audio formats that are sent to the reciever are changed.
This noise can be unsettling for me... but i got used to it after awhile
Remote:
remote i quite filled with functionalities and can double as a universal remote, havent had time to mess with all of the functionality yet.
DSP:
im not that much a fun of using DSP's, i normally use either the direct, pro-logic music/game/movie
I dont have a comparison point for this so can't say much.
Dolby TrueHD:
untested yet... wait till i get PS3
Sounds:
Surround test: passed (easy test)
bass test:
felt @ 60hz
heard @ 80hz
High range test:
hear @ 17Khz, but my friends can hear it still all they way at 20khz
Note: basically it sucks with lf freq now because i dont have a sub yet. hf seems good except that my ears can't hear passed 17khz it seems.
Power:
more than enough for my room, i set volume to -30db to -24db because any louder might disrupt the neighbors.
Conclusion:
Im glad i got this reciever ;D
now i just need a sub and a ps3 hehe

hi allen.... pa-audition naman ng onkyo and evo's mo once ma-complete mo na setup mo, kahit wala pa yung sub. cainta ka lang di ba? marikina naman kami. ::)
anyway, you won't go wrong with the velodyne cht-10r but you may also want to consider the REL Strata II joel is selling at the b&s section. nice reviews esp. this lengthy one:

Congrats! good choice of choosing a mid level receiver w/ pre outs!
Perfect match to your mid level speakers!
Mukhang nag basa ka talaga ng husto sa pinoydvd ah. :D

gratzie sir!
feedback naman sa HD decoding kapag naset-up mo na =)
salamats!

@mher70:
may $1k ceiling ang johnny air kasi, b4 start taxing you.. kaya di kaya sabay :(
worse.. tumaas prices ng 605 huhu
@gearhead: sure, np for the demo.... i'll update you guys once its hooked up.
thanks for the link and head up on the REL Acoustic Strata, but with his price.. i could add a little already and get a BNEW velodyne CHT10R with warranty. I just don't see the value in investing for the unit :(
but i'd like the reviews though old, praise the unit very well :)
@matz: thanks, this is probably accumulated forum research time of.. hmm... 10-11 months since i started asking for advice on the forums.. hehe... still have a long way to go... subs and especially room accoustics.. will probably take me another year to figure out...
@leomar: i'd love to test HD decoding, but currently no player outputs dolby or DTS HD streams.. last i heard...
if there was any.. it would probably break my already stretched budget.
pag may ps3 na ako and/or maybe pc w/xbox hdvd add on... and kaya i-force ang hd streams to reciever.. sige post ako ng feedback :)

magiging pioneer ako.. once ma-connect ko speakers ko huhu.. tanga kasi ako sa mga wire hehe
phase 6, greenwoods subdivision.
yung phase 1 ng greenwoods is pasig, yung phase namin cainta na kasi hehe...
medyo in the area kami of mercedes ave. pinagbuhatan pasig
BTW, does anyone know exactly how strong/watt an AVR should i use at least for this reciever? i currently have 1500 watt AVR but almost everything in the room is connected to it.. so it's probably overloaded already...
also, anyone willing to help me with cabling? :P
originally a freind of mine was gonna help out.. but it might take him too long to dropby hehe

I know Greenwoods, medyo mas Pasig na nga yan kesa sa Cainta. Although sa laki ng Greenwoods, yung iba ay naging Pasig.
Color-coded naman yung cables... so di ka basta-basta malilito. Kung willing kang magpa-mini-EB jan sa lugar mo.. I'm sure na marami kang makakatulong. ;)

its crimping and connecting my speaker cables from receiver to speakers... i think my cables are a bit too thin... huhu
UPDATE: got the EVO 30 connected in stereo mode with basic wiring. with great difficulty...
sounds good... makes me wonder how it would sound like with bi-wiring and bi-amping(supported by receiver) in 5.1 ::)
also, running the receiver with my curretn 1,500 watt AVR with all the other electronics connected to it caused my AVR to work extra hard... will definetly have to buy a dedicated AVR for the damn receiver hehe

hmm... it seems you have better skills hunting for gear than inter-connecting them. ;D
anyway, some suggestions.
for your cabling need... if you're not planning of getting those expensive exotic cables, i recommend you get the ACE (hardware) AWG14 gauge cable from your nearest SM outlet. there are available 25ft and 50ft lengths i think. you can use two runs for the fronts for biwiring and just a single run to your rears. you can also try the shops in raon where you might chance upon some AudioPro AWG#12 speaker cables.
for the AVR, you will spend about 3,500 for a good servo-controlled unit... so you may also explore the possibility of going straight for a line conditioner instead. there's the Xindak XF500 for P4,500 and the Bada LB3300 for P6,000.

i have "electrical wiring" phobia haha
i already have cables, brand is AXE spk-105a is the model. i had a whole roll imported from taiwan... unfortunately i didnt do advance research enough and when i got the cables.. they are composed of multiple very thin strands.. but total effective thickness is about AWG 16 or 14.. its just that the small strands break off easily.
AVR i normally use the omni brand due to quiter operation and fair price for their higher wattage models.
Last i checked line conditioners don't adjust voltage( correct me if im wrong) so buying a line conditioner wouldn't solve my problem of providing enough wattage at 120 volts to my AVR.
btw, just getting the evo 30 with simple wiring took my like 2-3 hours to do it..... i really suck at crimping and wiring hehe

ahhh.... yes. that would be the main problem. your avr is meant for the US market hence the 120V. i actually use the omni 1500W too. bought them for the price and the functional quality. features include multiple outputs, I/O voltmeters and selectable turn-on delay. you may want to place the avr in a location with proper ventilation. as it is, since you'll be using it for the 120V output, surely it will get a bit hot/warm. as a tweak, you may want to change the default cord that came with it. it's a little too thin for the watts supplied.

changing the cord would void warranty right..?
anyways, my current AVR and incoming AVR( both omni 1,500 watt) will be directly below the aircon.
currently, cooling-wise i'm more concerned about getting cool air to the receiver since my left speaker is blocking the aircon's path to the receiver.
On the topic on the receiver itself, any request for what to be tested or information on it?
its currently setup on 2 speaker mode, but i should get it to 5.0 mode by the weekend.
Hmmm.. no popping issues that i've noticed, but the delay of audio when switching sources and especially when switching between receiver menu and source is very noticeable.
when switching between the different I/O modes, audio inputs are not reassignable but video is reassignable.
I've only tested upconverting to HDMI with the component output of my wii(i presume it hasnt been upscaled yet). There were some graphical differences, but this is largely more attributed to the fact that the wii is now using my TV's dynamic mode on HDMI(video is processed by the TV) instead of the regular gaming mode I assigned for the component(only limited processing on tv).
I will probably have to find a setting that is consistently good or better yet, more accurate to assign to my HDMI port.
Note: THX recommends that you DON'T upconvert your analog signals into HDMI and it must be same out to same in. Meaning if your input on receiver is S-Video your output should be S-video to your TV or if input is component, output should be component.
Personally, i'd rather have less cable clutter and less possible interference than following THX rules on this and of course the expected upconverting artifacts.
I've noticed that the xvYCC color space(this is different from deep color, but usually comes with my it) setting for HDMI on the receiver does alter image/color quality, whether its accurate and better might be debate-able, but i personally prefer the resulting image... It looks much more vibrant.
I know my Samsung 32r81 supports this color space, but I have doubts my oppo 981hd supports this standard since its only HDMI 1.1a(xvYCC is part of HDMI 1.3)... so I'm still debating to myself if i should keep the setting for my DVD player from an "accuracy" perspective..
did some DTS demo DVD 8, 9, 10 tests, but since its still in stereo mode.. there arent much test i can do with the audio processing, since most require at least the surround speakers connected (4.0).

Is Onkyo 705 using Burr Brown DACs? It is confusing to see that some sites says it's using burr brown and some sites says it's not and the one using burr brown is the 805? ???

I am likewise using an Omni and most of my gears are 110 volts, hindi naman siya umiinit. Fyi

based on onkyo's main website, the 705 are not specifically mentioned to use bur brown dac's
the way i'm reading this is they aren't guaranteed to use th brand name/model series, but it doesnt mean it doesn't either.
while the 805 is guaranteed to use it.
though Burr Brown is a good brand name, im sure what ever DAC's Onkyo uses for the mid and lower models will not compromiise their quality
-

i reached situations on very hot days where the avr is quite warm to the touch, but is not a common occurance.
im just making most of my air flow on equipment placement, that why the AVR is near the aircon hehe

sir matz, I think it's because having power amp still has great benefit considering that Onkyo 805's power rating is two-channels driven as indicated in the ff. sites:

In my case, nauna na yung Bada 5-ch power amp, later na lang yung 805 kapag available na... :D
Hay, ang hirap talaga kumpletohin ang mid-level setup ;D

hi sir allen. Meron ba option for automatic calibration? Just like YPAO for yamahas. Thanks!
-
Hay, ang hirap talaga kumpletohin ang mid-level setup ;D
Pero pag nakumpleto mo na, sobrang bihira na lang upgrade, cuz you got the best already. The next step (high end) is too expensive already & price difference is not justifiable (unless you got too much moolah). Whereas price difference from entry level to mid level is not that big ;)
Ok lang yung hirap. Kapag easy come, easy go (bilis pagsawaan). Pero pag pinaghirapan mas masarap i-enjoy yung setup mo! ;)
o ano matt, 805 na??? ;D ;D
Duno yet, but I realized I really have to get a 220v version for independence from a voltage regulator.
I recently removed my voltage regulator (connected to power amp & receiver) & plugged my receiver directly to the designated "pre-amp" sockets (since I dont use the power section of the receiver) of my line conditioner and my power amp directly to the "amplifier" sockets of the LC and the sound was just astounding. The music was more open & mas focused yung image. Sakal tunog ng setup pala w/ a voltage regulator. I will try to experiment w/ voltage reg 1st b4 line conditioner soon. Hopefully results will be positive.
Also, considering I change gears so often, a 110v gear's resale value can also pose a problem.
-

yes there is :)
I just havent used it yet, cause i want to get my subs first before i use it.

Wala ba problem with fluctuating sound output kung 110-120 voltage ng amp even with a voltage regulator? Especially dito sa tin fluctuating ang electricity natin.. :) :) :)

Have an electrician to install separate 15amp circuit from your panel board for AV system. ;D :o

Super newbie question!
Finally managed to buy surround speakers for my 5 year old Onkyo 494. Excited pa naman ako to try the 5 channel speakers and finally listen to DD/DTS audio. However, the only listening modes available to me right now is Pro Logic II - Movies and Pro Logic II - Music. Neither DD or DTS is available as an option.
After going over my manual, I'm taking this to mean that I'm not using the optical or coaxial cable to connect my DVD player to the receiver.
Am I on the right track? Or have I not understood a thing in the manual? ??? ;D
-
tonedeaf, to enjoy both DD & DTS you must use either the optical or coaxial cable to connect DVD player & receiver (not unless you're using the direct 5.1 analog connections from your DVD player to the receiver).
Are you using one of these cables?
-
^i checked my AVR last night. it's just 2 wires. neither optical nor coaxial. ok. that must be the culprit. i've looked around for an affordable optical and coaxial cable just so i can test.

From your DVD player, you should have a video cable (or cables) connected directly to your TV. The best is HDMI. Otherwise, component (3 cables) is the 2nd best. Third best is s-video.
In addition, your DVD player should have a single audio cable from the "Digital out" of the DVD player to the "Digital in" of your AVR. This will either be optical, coax or HDMI, but it doesn't really matter that much. In other words, you already have 2 cables connecting your DVD player to your AVR (probably "Analog out") so just pull out those cables and reconnect one of them to the "Digital" coax plugs. No need to buy new cables.
-
@streetsmart,
i got it working na! i did buy optical fiber cable because the only digital outs/ins for audio in both my receiver and my dvd player is coaxial or optical.
i choose optical because it was the only cheap, pero di naman masyadong generic, digital cable available in true value kanina. ;D holy crap the prices of those things pala (the branded ones i mean) ;D ;D
anyway, back to topic, its the first time in 5 years that i've seen the dolby digital indicator light up in my onkyo 494. yey! now to look for one of them dts dvds.

Now here's the reason why I only buy generic digital cables: ;D
http://boardsus.playstation.com/playstation/board/message?board.id=ps3&thread.id=828972
I truly believe that unless the generic digital cable looks really cheap, it will have exactly the same quality as the *holy crap* branded ones. ;D
And your next step is to balance the volumes of your speakers.

Next year pa raw available 705. By that time mas affordable na sya (35-40k) coz of the 1.) peso appreciation and 2.) proximity of the factory, Malaysia.
Hopefully our local resellers price it reasonably. Unless they do that i might be forced to settle for the Denon.

I bought it online from 8 avenue/Amazon shipped thru JAC.
My latest calculation is around 38-40K if ordered from Amazon and delivered to JAC NY then to Philippines. IATA rate at this time is around 43.25. Bababa pa yan next year.
SRP for the Philippine released Onkyo 705 will be around 46k daw. So I guess the advantage of ordering abroad will be cheaper overall but then if your unit is defective, you will have to ship it to the US to avail of the warranty although Toyama has communicated that they can repair units ordered abroad (US or Hongkong) but then walang warranty. Wala pa klarong release date ang Toyama (Onkyo distributor) sa Philippines. Sabi nila next year pa daw. AV stores are trying to bring the units in themselves and maybe before the year ends meron na siguro dito sa atin c/o the AV stores and not Toyama.

At a rate the way the peso is appreciating, it is very possible na maging 40k ang 705. Real bang for the buck, THX na equippedpa ng latest audiocodecs. Real value for money.

buy the Full-HD LCD/plasma now (lots of models to choose from now) then get the reciever later hehe
-
Onkyo 705 owners please help me. I'm using ps3 to play games and watch blu-rays using blu-ray (HDMI). What I want to do is watch movies off my projector (HDMI) and play games through my LCD TV (component). can it work? I know the 705 only has one hdmi out, but can I choose to output to component instead if I'm playing games?
i would assume yes, since you can assoicate specific "outs" to each of the modes of your SR705... and i remember this functionality being a part of the THX specification.(ie. an input connector of 1 type must be matched by an output of the same type.)

Yep. tempting nga, since the gold I dislike (personal choice lang naman) is the yellowish one.
this one isnt too yellowish. :) I even thought it was silver at first.

kumusta po performance nya in pure direct mode when listening in stereo cds?
as matzer said 49k for local models (interestingly.. the same price as what i bought abroad with shipping).
unfortunately, my ears arent that sensitive enough and my speakers not the high-end enough to heardifference of pure direct mode.. but i think this is because the other modes are already pretty good!!
my only current gripes is related to LFE performance.. but this more probably due to poor sources(mp3's and fake audio cd's) + poor sub woofer placement + no room treatment + no power conditioner.
-

I disagree! your speakers are quite good and you are one of those who have IMO, cleverly done correct matching w/ a mid level speaker & a mid level receiver! Siguro they are all good nga naman kasi. :)

Onkyo 805 is only $50 more than the 705 at Vann's.. ;D ;D

most of the modes are really good, so its really hard to compare unless you know diff you need to look out for.
which brings me to the question.. when is the 706 coming out? :P

verdict to follow after a month of use ;D
I have to reiterate that they are ALL GOOD though, each in their own way (or diskarte), the verdict will be just my subjective personal preference among their strengths.
Geez, this is such a costly curiosity, ROFL.
ob cors...yung latest gear ;D
congrats matz, ang bilis ng turnaround ng mga gears mo.
Thanks, I am starting to wonder why I keep doing this, I dont even plan to go HD soon.
congrats matt...... :)
Thanks, Onkyo 875 sana, but too expensive na, hehe.
-
Onkyo 875 sana, but too expensive na, hehe.
what about the 805? any idea how much is it? :)
-
sir matz, ano speaker ginamit nyo in comparing those amps??
im sure dami followers dito sa final verdict ninyo!! ;D
-
someone offered me an 805 for only 55k (parallel import), but I didnt get it , since I do not need the burr brown dacs ( my audio is separate). I also dont need the "powerful" :P push pull amps since I am never going back to receiver power after tasting power amps. These 2 are the only major difference between the 805 & 705.
Wanted the 875 for the REON HQV Vid processor though, but realized I had a HTPC to do the job anyway.
So 705 fits my bill just fine. Nice improvement in PQ through the receiver's Faroudja, I must say!
-
All of them used my Atlantic Technology system 270THX speaker system plus Rotel THX power amps, my views are based on their decoder performances only, not their power section, as I use power amps in all my setups.
sir matz, ano speaker ginamit nyo in comparing those amps??
im sure dami followers dito sa final verdict ninyo!! ;D
Not really, my final verdict is only applicable to: MOI .
Like I said they are all excellent and it depends on which of their strength you prefer, this is what makes it "the best" for anybody. Whats best for me might not be best for another. :)
Cheers!
-
Congrats Sir Matt on your new toy ;) Looks like your going Full HD na ;D
-
Any of those mid level receivers can be great multichannel preamps paired with rock solid power amps. You can forget about getting a Krell preamp. ;D
-
i was wondering bakit ang bilis ata bumaba ng price nito? $649.99 at crutchfield $661.69 at amazon $599.99 at vanns? so roughly 27k+ pesos. ok naman ang reviews pero 1 month pa lang ang laki ng binaba.

Maybe, since I see some flaws in this model: lip sync, inverted pre out (my L+R front pre out is inverted) I hope they fix this on the next models.
Congrats Sir Matt on your new toy ;) Looks like your going Full HD na ;D
Thanks sir!
NOPE, not yet. I cant swallow spending 1.5k to 2k on a HD disk that I will watch once, then just set aside till next year for a 2nd watching. SD pa rin!!! :D
My golly, isang Nike Golf Dri-fit stretch UV shirt (my fave shirts ever) na yun ah!! & I wear these daily! yung HD disk, one shot deal, tabi na!
Anyway, my SD disks all had a very visible improvement in video due to the 705's Faroudja scaler or maybe cuz of the receiver being a HDMI repeater (to a 10m HDMI cable). Very nice!
So I dont feel the need to go HD yet. :)
-
any idea kung magkano yung 875???
-
Approximately 80k maybe when it comes out here.

may mga flaws kaung nakita sa 705 sir matz? yung 875 kaya meron din kaya?

oo nga sir matz paki explain nga ung mga nakita mong flaws. anu ba ung lip sync?

Buy a generic remote controller. Nagkalat na ngayon yan.
-
oo nga sir matz paki explain nga ung mga nakita mong flaws. anu ba ung lip sync?
Lip sync issue is the improper synchronization of video with audio.
The audio seems delayed relative to the video even when the audio delay is set to 0 msec. It is almost as if there is a minimum audio delay built in. Some Onkyo 705 and 805 AVRs have this issue. Tama ba sir Matz? :D

Yes, plus when I forward/skip the multiple chapters of the demo disks, there is a pause in the sound before it resumes, some 1-2 secs.
Almost never had any of these issues with my previous receivers.
Also, I duno why but my front L+R preout jacks are inverted.
-
sir matz pero ung delayed yung sound di nyo po na experience? naku para palang di advisable bilin ang unit na ito? would you still recommend this unit with your found flaws?
-
Yes, plus when I forward/skip the multiple chapters of the demo disks, there is a pause in the sound before it resumes, some 1-2 secs.
though i personally havent experienced 1-2 secs of delay when skipping chapters,
im sure sir matz knows this already, but for the benefit of the others,
there is a delay when swithing between different sound formats... this is normal as stated from onkyo
-
Also, I duno why but my front L+R preout jacks are inverted.
Maybe you can have it changed to another unit and check if it is indeed inverted.. Baka "LEMON" ang nakuha mo..

Does the TX-SR705 upscale video to 1080p through component input? Is the output towards your display through HDMI already or still component? TIA

Post from AVSforum:
4) Does this receiver upscale my video to 1080p?
This receiver won’t upscale to 1080p. The maximum resolution it can upscale video to is 720p. If you want an Onkyo receiver that upscales low resolution sources to 1080p I recommend you look at the Onkyo 875 or Onkyo 905 models.
5) So are you saying this receiver downscales ALL my signals to 720p?
No. This receiver passes signals from the same source input type to the same source output type at whatever resolution it was when it began.
For example:
1080p HDMI input = 1080p HDMI output
1080p component input = 1080p component output
The only time it downscales videos is when you change the input type via the receiver.
For Example:
1080 Component input = 720p HDMI output

Still gathering my initial comments yet coz I'm an Onkyo newbie. But I could say it definitely has more kick than my former HKAVR335. Video connectivity and upscaling quality is simply awesome. Tried to set my Faroudja OPPO to 480p and it still produces vibrant colors and better video texture.
Saw your setup at the gallery and man you got some awesome gears. We both have an interesting feedbacks coz your driving a hard driven B&W's against my easily driven Missions. What's your listening level? Mine is loud enough at -25 db.

sir,
how much po purchase ninyo sa 705? Am also considering it lately. Thanks.

The Neural THX 7.1 feature is quite cool. turns a 2 channel source to 7.1 better than DPLIIx.
And yes the PQ is amazing. According to reviews I read, its perfect for 720p native TV's or PJ's.
The 705 is an excellent receiver. With 3 Aureus chips, its presents a very detailed HT experience ( I use the pre-amp section only, as I use power amps). Its a bit noisy though. As my wife is now complaining about the sub being felt from our 2nd floor, not something that happened with my previous HK630, Yamaha 2500 or Denon 2807 receivers.
So careful with the neighbors with this one.
-
danrd, how much is the damage? maybe time to upgrade as well. ;D

Got that right pre. Watched spiderman 3 last night and found myself turning down the volume. Hanep sa detailS. Another kickass feature is its one hdmi video in, then all out on composite, component and hdmi. Plus speaker out terminals ready for zone 2. Another gastos but its perfect coz I'm thinking of putting another set of speakers on the Dart area. :)

At first I thought this as well, but all you have to do is to adjust the lip sync to 0, & this problem will never bug you again.
The 705's sound will pause a second or two before it resumes when you skip a chapter (specially when I watch my demo disks). But if you read reviews in the net, this happens to ALL receivers with internal video processing. The audio needs a few seconds to catch up with the video thats being processed.
If you see the processed video, this minor setback is not really bothersome compared to the big improvement I saw with my video quality. I accept the tradeoff w/ no complaints. :D

Mismo! ;) It's day 3 and I really love what I hear each day. Haven't activated it's Audyssey yet and it Rocks already. Movies on default settings were way much better than my HK335. Love the audio quality on "all speaker mode".

Setting up Audyssey is actually simple but there are many rules you need to follow. There is a pretty comprehensive summary at the Onkyo 705 thread in AVS:
http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?p=12162481#post12162481
I am not sure what kind of mic is provided with the Onkyo models. If it is the one that looks like a puck (or big coin), you need to use a very light tripod.
There is a general consensus that once Audyssey is set up properly, it performs its job very well. It is actually a very sophisticated system.
-
does anybody know what the real power rating per channel is? just wan to know if they will not exceed the speakers that i have in mind for this AVR... assuming that I am able to save up for this avr before any new models come out.. hehehehehe

I sure hope it does Sir Mark. Its the first thing I'll do when I get my hands on the mic. Naiwan ko kasi sa shop eh. ;D ;D Thanks for the tip.

surrounds: diamond 9.DFS

The 705 will be more than enough to drive those. Mas maganda kung ganito:
fronts: diamond 9.6
center: diamond 9.CM
surrounds: diamond 9.DFS
Then buy an accurate sub like velodyne kahit 10r lang oks na. ;)

ic... thanx for the tip.. just for clarification, when you say more than enough.. that does not mean my proposed speaker set up cannot handle the 705? but it would be better if i get the better speakers (9.6 and 9.CM)?
im thinking of getting the 9.5, coz the price diff of the 9.6 and 9.5 is quite big, compared to the price diff of the 9.4 and 9.5.... as for the center, i think i can strech the budget for the CM as long as it's ok to pair the CM w/ the 9.5
kelangan ko ata mag-ipon lang ng mas matagal hehehehe

If it was me ok na yung 9.5's. They say that the 9.6's are harder to drive. Though a 705 will drive it enough, I am sure it will be easier to drive the 9.5's. I have a magazine that reviewed the 9.6 and they used higher model AVR's for it. Besides, if your room is not that big, those 8in woofers might prove to be too much.
does anybody know what the real power rating per channel is? just wan to know if they will not exceed the speakers that i have in mind for this AVR... assuming that I am able to save up for this avr before any new models come out.. hehehehehe
The manual states 100wpc 2 channels driven. If I remember correctly, a higher model Onkyo 80* (not the THX ultra 805 I guess) yields about 50wpc all channels driven. You dont need to worry if it exceeds the speaker's ratings unless you crank it up to ear shattering levels.

The manual states 100wpc 2 channels driven. If I remember correctly, a higher model Onkyo 80* (not the THX ultra 805 I guess) yields about 50wpc all channels driven. You dont need to worry if it exceeds the speaker's ratings unless you crank it up to ear shattering levels.
I was actually making a "upgrade proof suggestion" pre. ;D ;D After all, every SARS victim goes for more power right? ;D ;D

Woohoo!!! Congrats Dan on your new toy!!!
Hehehehe Compared w/ the specs of this baby,
my 701....is ancient!!!

Thanks Doc. It's really worth it. I'm actually starting to appreciate its "musicality" aside from its outstanding HT performance. I hear details inaudible before.

If it was me lang naman pre.
Reason is I also am conscious with the size difference of the fronts to the surrounds.
I recently installed a setup for my uncle. His B&W mains were so huge, I really had difficulty matching the tone to the smaller surrounds. I realized bigger is not always or necessarily better in this hobby.
I ended up setting the huge fronts to "SMALL". :(
Thus my suggestion. :)

Read in cnet that the Onkyo 604 cannot output analog sources through its HDMI. Does this mean I should connect my analog sources directly to my TV?
Is the version of 604's HDMI 1.3 already? What the difference of ver1.3 and lower version/s?
-
Found out that the 604 have HDMI ver1.1 only. So what have I got to lose if I get this one instead of AVRs with HDMI 1.3?

Theres a TX NR 801E for sale in the local audio store here. I reckon, its a new 'old' stock due to the model number. Its for sale at 29,400 pesos. What do you guys advice? Is it better to buy older higher spec than new lower spec? At current prices, I think the 60x series are within this range.

If you are really on a budget and you like to play your HT LOUD (like me) then I would still suggest the (NOS) older higher spec. If you dont need the HDMI of the 60x or whatever new features, these older but more powerful receivers can really perform their duties better than a new AVR of lower spec. Its harder to be "bitin" with an NOS 801 than a new 604.
But if you can afford it, the newer Onkyo 7 & 8 series are really good. I just got my 875 this week and all I can say is :o :o :o

80hz should be fine. It will leave the bass (80hz below) to your subwoofer. Since bass eats up a lot of wattage, it would be best to leave it to your sub for more dynamic headroom for your receiver.
oo nga sir matz paki explain nga ung mga nakita mong flaws. anu ba ung lip sync?
The lip sync issue is not a biggie. All you have to do is set the lip sync to zero and it will never bug you again. I just wondered why the factory default was set to 30ms.
Yes, plus when I forward/skip the multiple chapters of the demo disks, there is a pause in the sound before it resumes, some 1-2 secs.
Almost never had any of these issues with my previous receivers.
I read some reviews late and apparantly ALL receivers with video processing has this pause. for the excellent PQ of the 705 on my 720p PJ, its a worthwhile sacrifice I am willing to take. :)

Onkyo TX-SA606X: The New Onkyo AV Amplifier with VIERA Link, AQUOS, and REGZA
(http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/3407/txsa606x1xs9.jpg)
Many of you have heard of the Viera Link, AQUOS (Sharp), and REGZA (Toshiba) system that allows you to control any of these devices with one remote...
Things are a little different today as these manufacturers understand the importance of being open. Behold the very first fully compatible Viera Link (or AQUOS/REGZA equivalent) Onkyo AV amplifier on the market!
Our AV amplifier is of course compatible with Dolby NRs True HD and DTS-HD Master Audio, supports x.v.Color, has a 1.3a HDMI port, and offers a generous 185Wx7ch at 6Ω.

Anyone using the 705 for karaoke dvd? I tried using it but the audio seems delayed. What dsp should I use? The best result is if I choose "direct" in the dsp, but there is still noticeable delay. Tried all the dsps and even changed out the bad singer (mainly me) but still no good. ;D I've tried using my t-amp and another set of speakers to make sure it is not the dvd player's fault.

Do you guys use audyssey? I use it to calibrate my system but I find my sub sounds weak with the calibration. My sub is hsu research vtf-2 mk3. Maybe I'm missing something? Audyssey set my fronts and center as full and my surround as 70hz.

just bump up your sub's db on the receiver. audyssey always set my sub to -12db everytime i run it then i increase it to my liking. my receiver is a denon 2308 though but i guess they share the same audyssey feature.
-
My experience with the 705 is that the audyssey settings needed a few tweaks here & there. I adjusted my sub & center volume. The 705 review also mentioned this as one of the things he didnt like about the 705.

Its not Audyssey that sets the fronts and center to full. It is the receiver that makes that decision.
Just set the fronts and center as not "Full range" and crossover at 80 hz. Also set "Double Bass" off. Your bass will improve a lot.

Do you guys use audyssey? I use it to calibrate my system but I find my sub sounds weak with the calibration. My sub is hsu research vtf-2 mk3. Maybe I'm missing something? Audyssey set my fronts and center as full and my surround as 70hz.
How should i set the onboard controls on my sub?
Set the sub's phase as per manufacturer recommendations.
Set the sub's crossover as high as it goes (so only the receiver's sub crossover comes into play)
Set the sub's volume/gain control to halfway or less. After running Audyssey setup if the receiver has too much negative or positive level trim on the sub channel, you may want to re-adjust the sub's on board gain and re-run audyssey. The aim is to have the sub channel's speaker level on the onkyo around the same range as the other channels (ie if the onkyo has set the sub to +10 you know you must have the on board gain set too low and vice versa)
TOP 10 ONKYO RECEIVER SETUP MISTAKES
7. Improperly setting the volume knob on your subwoofer before running Audyssey
Powered subwoofers always have a volume knob on the back. There's some leeway on where that volume knob gets set, but you'll have problems if it's too low or too high. The best way to set it initially is with a Radio Shack sound level meter. On the Speaker Setup/Level Calibration screen on your Onkyo, set the Subwoofer level to about -3.0dB and set the volume knob on your sub about 1/3 the way up. Then play the internal subwoofer test tone from your Onkyo. While the tone is playing, measure the sound level from your preferred seating position and adjust the volume knob on your sub until the Radio Shack meter reads 75dB. This is easier to do with two people. If you don't have a Radio Shack meter and don't want to get one, read the manual that came with your subwoofer and see what they recommend for the volume knob setting. You can also play some music and listen to some movies and adjust it by ear until it sounds natural.
If you get it about right, after you run Audyssey the Level Calibration for your subwoofer will be within a range from about -3.0dB to +3.0dB. If it's much below -3.0dB, turn the volume knob down a little on your subwoofer and run Audyssey again. Likewise, if it's much over 3.0dB, you have the volume knob on your subwoofer set too low. Turn it up and run Audyssey again.
If you like to run your subwoofer louder than the 75dB level and your Level Calibration is less than 0dB, increase the Level Calibration on your receiver a couple dB. On the other hand, if you want your subwoofer louder than the 75dB level and the Level Calibration is greater than 0dB, turn the volume knob on your sub up a little bit.
If the subwoofer Level Calibration is way off in either direction it can result in distortion. Also if it's too low and your subwoofer has an auto on/off feature, your sub may not come on except during especially loud special effects.
Make sure you read the manual that came with your subwoofer and if their recommendations differ from this, use the manufacturer's recommendations.

Thanks for the info.
The problem is very serious. When you send a DTS-MA bitstream of certain titles to Onkyo or Yamaha receivers, you can have a huge *bang* on your speakers. The *bang* is supposed to be similar to a high-powered gunshot. This problem destroyed 3 speakers of a reviewer of HT Magazine.

SGT & Sights & Sounds has this sir. Ask them for the price. But as I know, it was out of stock right away.
After I heard it perform, I now know why. I still get goosebumps till now (watched Drumline this AM).
-
If you are really on a budget and you like to play your HT LOUD (like me) then I would still suggest the (NOS) older higher spec. If you dont need the HDMI of the 60x or whatever new features, these older but more powerful receivers can really perform their duties better than a new AVR of lower spec. Its harder to be "bitin" with an NOS 801 than a new 604.
this is exactly the reason why "sometimes" good things come to those who are in a budget and have the patience to wait. especially when something like this comes along and its with in your budget. ;D

I read this on avsforum. Although it is in the 805 forum, I think this explains my problem using the 705 with my karaoke dvd.
http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?p=11068977#post11068977
1. The delay is in the range of 47-76ms (according to my measurements). This directly depends on what distance you set your spkrs at. If you want to minimize the delay, then set your spkrs at the maximum available distance (this will enable you to have the lowest delay of 47ms). *TIP: If you are doing this tweak, make sure that your FARTHEST spkr is set to 30 ft, while your other spkrs should be configured relative to your farthest spkr
2. The audio delay is very hard to detect with regular video content (when using with any kind of video player). Even if you specifically looked for it, you would have a very hard time finding any sync problems between the video and the audio (as far as lip movements are concerned). This is why it is not surprising to see that most people do not know that their 805 has this delay.
3. It may be noticeable in realtime activities such as gaming (depends greatly on what kind of game). Some games such as Guitar Hero could suffer from this delay and also games with fast twict-based game play (like Counterstrike where the gun fires off the instant you click on the mouse button). Gears of War is not so much affected because the game has a builtin-trigger lag where weapons don't fire instantly.
4. Definitely noticeable if using a microphone or instrument that is connected to the receiver. Therefore, it makes this receiver very bad for karaoke, unless you use multi-ch inputs (see below)
5. ALL audio inputs (analog, digitalcoax, optical, HDMI) EXCEPT for Multi-Ch inputs are affected by this delay. Simply put, if you must have absolutely NO delays, use the Multi-Ch inputs. However, keep in mind that using Multi-ch inputs is only a partial workaround since you cannot apply any processing (EQ, surroundmodes/thx/audyssey/etc.) to multi channel inputs.
6. We have confirmation from Onkyo and Audyssey that the delays are caused by culimination of delays in the 3 DSP chips of the 805.
7. Lip sync delay settings will not solve the delay problem, only decrease it somewhat (you will still get a delay of ~47-76 ms even if you set the lipsync delay to 0ms). Using Direct or Pure Audio mode also will not get rid of the delay.
8. People tend to notice this delay better with HD/digital channels. What they are experiencing is the CULMINATION of the existing delay in the digital broadcast and the delay in the receiver. This delay may vary from broadcast to broadcast and does not neccessarily mean there is something wrong with your cable/sat box. When used with the 805, the receiver's delay will further exacerbate any existing delays in the broadcast. This is what most people tend to ask about, so I hope this answers it.
9. There are several ways to test for delay. The most effective is to use a microphone setup with the receiver and tap the microphone with you finger and see how instantly the sound reacts. Another method is to compare the original source audio with the sound coming from the receiver (ie. compare the sound of your TV with the sound of the same signal being fed to the receiver). The least effective way to test for this delay is to watch movies and see how the actors lips sync to the audio. As I've stated before, this will not likely yeild any noticeable delays.

My previous setting was way higher than that which I just later found out wrong. Yes 720 yung pj ko. But I was referring to my 32" lcd's picture improvement. My pj's improvement was great too. :)

No audio delay issues w/ the 875. But the 705's audio delay is a minor one, you just have to set the settings to zero, thats all you ever got to do.

hi sir, I'm also planning to get the 606. I have a relative there in Singapore.
Is it already out in the stores there? where did you get your unit? S$825 is quite cheap..
TIA sir.. ;D
-
Guys, I would just like to ask you something. I am on a lookout for an Onkyo receiver. My friend from Hong Kong said he can buy one from Hong Kong and have it shipped over to me. Price is about 1/3 cheaper there. Question is, will this be ok? What possible issues will arise? Is onkyo philippines honoring an international warranty?

There is no Onkyo Philippines. There is an Onkyo distributor (Toyama Inc.). There is no warranty for Onkyo units bought outside of the Philippines. You can however have defective units you bought outside repaired here but at your expense or return the unit overseas which is more expensive and a hassle.

My new Onkyo TX-SR875 replacing my 705.
It's huge, black and 220v
My initial review:
- SQ is far better and powerful than 705.
- The improvement on my PJ output was stunning. HQV Rocks hard!!
If you all ask me, I'd say I've just saved myself from buying a power amp and a video processor. ;)

Bought mine from hongkong, don't think there will be a problem as long as ok ang shipper mo. Sa handling lang naman possible masira yun. AVR's are not as sensitive as flat panels in shipping. Yup its much cheaper but bilis phase out dun kaya puro new models lang meron

Does the local distributor of onkyo also carry the integra line? I am keen on buying the new integra pre-pro.

Hi guys, pwede po pa PM kung magkano score nyo sa Onkyo 875 nyo. thanks.

anyone knows if the 875 is available in 110-120v here in pinas? some of the user reviews i've seen have major issues with heat... any 875 owners experienced excessive heat? tia...

Got mine at Theaterworks and its 220v Excessive heat? YES!! But it's natural with amps this heavy. You'll just have to free all things blocking the vent and add a fan.

I use mine as a pre-pro only (with external power amps) and its already HOT! So I placed it on the top layer of my AV rack, in the "air path" of my split type aircon:

Sir, not that I know of, but we asked Onkyo China already & they dont have the integra 9.8 or the similar Onkyo 885 pre/pro. So no need to bother looking for this in HK, maybe Singapore?

Thats a good idea but this thing is so huge it also wont fit in between layers of the rack. :D
Is the laptop cooler via USB or plug type? where does it expel the heat? sideways?
ahh, must be why your pants were bulging at the lap part... :D ;D

uy, deja vu... i asked about this sa SG distro last week eto sagot:
Q: May i know the price of Onkyo PR-SC885P in Singapore? And where can i visit to demo this?
Dear Mr. Leomar
As this product is under Onkyo profession line up and not available for our distribution, so we do not think it will be available at the moment.
We only carry the Home AV receivers like TX-SR506, TX-SR606, TX-SR705, TX-SR805, TX-SR875 & TX-NR905.

^ This sucks, this pre-pro is also hard to come by in the states as of now but it seems having a relative in the states buy one for me is the best option.

True! I also thought that its easier to ask a relative to bring home a 23lb pre/pro than a 61lb Onkyo 875... LOL.
Hopefully its autovolt. 110v gear's resale value is :'(.

ok, here's my setup.. am i in the right thread?
have Onkyo TX-SR605 .. speakers on 7.1 setup... ps3, hd dvd , and wii linked to it... 46in 1080p tv....
have some questions i know people here can answer...
feeling ko lang di lang na configure mabuti yung 605 ko e... kaya di namamaximize.. sayang e.. atsaka bat pag naka uncompressed mas mahina ang output ng audio ng mga palabas? pag trueHD rin and DTS, vs typical 5.1? medyo nakakalito..
i sometimes play with the audio output...mono (erk!), DPLIIEX, etc.. whats the best ba?.. do i need power amp pa to save the built in amp? if yes? what can you reco?
or mag upgrade nalang ako?

M also eyeing a 9.8 or an 885 since all forum reviews are very positive. Sa Japan meron, but may courier kaya sa Japan para autovolt ?

I was informed that you can order from the local Onkyo Distro, you need to give a downpayment, and waaaaaaiiiiiiiit for it to arrive. :'(

May english website ba?
e kung group buy kay? to minimize the shipping cost? hihi
at ma-nego ung price din... hmmm

Personally I don't mind if its 110v as I have a heavy duty tramsformer for that :) If enough people are willing a group buy is possible to save on shipping costs.

;D ;D ;D ONKYO TO RELEASE NEW AVR LINE-UP ;D ;D ;D
Mga bros, you might want to wait for these new babies .....
"As expected, the company is following up the already-announced TX-SR606 , -576 and -506 with replacements for the existing TX-SR705, -805, -875 and TX-NR905. The new models, due in the Autumn, all take the -6 suffix and feature improved specifications over the models they replace.
Upgrades include the Audyssey Dynamic EQ system already seen in the less expensive models, THX Select 2 Plus certification (which includes THX Loudness Plus), and more HDMI inputs, with the -806 having five ins and one out. The TX-SR876 also gains an extra HDMI output, only previously found on the TX-NR905.
The joker in the pack is the PR-SC886, a preamp/processor complete with 7.1-channel balanced outputs – its spec looks a bit like that of the TX-SR875 without the power amps.
The styling of the products is so like the existing ones that the presentation our man has seen simply uses pictures of the old models, though there is a slight sharpening-up of the looks of the silver versions, and of course the new remote handsets seen with the TX-SR606." (whathifi.com)

Really interesting news.
Audyssey Dynamic EQ and Dynamic Volume have also been announced for the upcoming new models of Denon. State-of-the-art technology, which automatically adjusts the eq and volume (in real-time) whenever you listen at below-reference levels. Unfortunately, I always listen at reference levels ...

Agreed. Can't understand why the local distributor is sooooo slooooowwwwww in picking up the pace.
If there's really a strong urge to remedy our "itch" for these new models, best option is to purchase it abroad when these models come out .... ;D

Yes it is. Mas mura pa. Problem is the risk on its transpo and warranty issue (which is most important thing btw).
-
ano connection mo? thru hdmi or through optical/coaxial?
hello boss munskie.. i use hdmi sa mga hd ko, pero may optical na naka abang..
as for the wii, its av cable...
"How big is the room? Did you use audessey?"
room is relatively small, mga 25-30sq foot.. i scroll thru the options, kasi sometimes the games/movies have different output e.. dts, trueHD, pro logic, etc.. nakakahilo sa totoo lang..
wala bang receiver na auto detect na siya nalang mag auauto select ng best option based on the disc?..

I heard they are very conservative in ordering, as they still have stocks of the old models in their warehouse. They have miscalculated their orders before so they are very cautious now.
Too bad, if they have ordered a lot now, they may have made up for the losses of their unsold older models.

However, there are a lot of eager buyers out there who can't wait for their Onkyo's from the local distributor.
Hmmm, hopefully they do change their business strategy. A (feasibility) study can surely help them know the current market trends.
-
The PR-SC886 seems just like an updated version of the integra 9.8 which in turn has an onkyo pro counterpart in the pr-885. I almost forgot but the integra 9.8 costs $1,599 in the states, relatively affordable considering the features.

Onkyo has to do something about its "VERY SLOW" distribution. If they'll prioritize disposing old units, then it will be a shame if other brands catches up.
Just imagine if - Yamaha, Denon, Harman Kardon, releases models with the same specs as Onkyo. Who do you think the customers would prefer. Sayang naman pinaghirapan nila. Being ahead in all but in the end, being behind on sales. ;)

my bad..teka lets just peg it at 30sqm,... around 100 sq ft..

my bad..teka lets just peg it at 30sqm,... around 100 sq ft..
Sir, 30 sqm (lets say around 5 by 6 mtrs) may be too big a room for the 605.
Wait a sec. 100 sq ft is only 9.3 sqm.
Here is the conversion:
1 sq ft = 0.093 sqm.
1 sqm = 10.75 sq ft
HTHs :)

Guess what? Local distro's shipment arrived yesterday. It comprised of 2 (yes TWO) Onkyo 875 and a few 705's, & only 3 were allotted to SGT. Their reservation list was over 10.
My reserved black 875 didnt push through, sigh. 875 must be in such a demand they were only given 2 by their source!
Haay, whats with our local distro? >:(

Matt, isa ako dun sa mga nag pa reserve ng 875 c/o SGT. I've been in contact with Butch and been waiting for over a month. Finally decided to get a Denon 2808 instead. It seems Onkyo's really bad with logistics. According to Butch, 875 stocks aren't a problem in Hong Kong. Nagalit na nga ang dad ni Butch sa kanila because of this. Hehe...

teka teka teka. let me measure it properly...
3.9m x 2.9m approx...or 13f x 10ft...

Toyama is the local distributor of Onkyo as well as B&W speakers. I dunno if Onkyo has a min number of orders, but I know B&W has - which is why Apolinario & Associates gave up carrying the distribution rights for the speakers. Medyo malaki ang min requirement ng B&W, so hopefully Toyama is not neglecting their Onkyo franchise.

Mga Sirs,
Pls. help!!!! Im having issues with my Onkyo AVR 605.
My set-up:
1. Onkyo US series TXSR 605
2. Pioneer DV-600
3. PS3 US 60gb
4. velodyne vx-10
5. Wharfs Diamond series 9.4,9.1,cs,dfs
1. Audyssey Auto-speaker set-up.
Im getting different results each time i tried to set-up using audyssey, initially it sets my amps at 80khz for my fronts, 60 khz for center, 80khz for surrounds, +2db fronts, +3db center, -6db subs, the next time i tried, it sets both front and center at full band. The sounds it produces are flat and muddy so I have to revert to default settings.
2. Lossless Audio signals..
I tried to play Transporter 2 which is a DTS-master audio signal but I dont see on the AVR display that the signal is DTS-master audio. The display is just PCM multichannel 5.1.??? The sound is awesome comparing it with ordinary DVD but that does mean that the DTS Master Audio was converted to Multichannel PCM 5.1??? I also set the AVR "Direct" to process what signal is exactly present in the disc in my desperation to see the DTS-Master audio or Dolby Tru HD in the AVR display.
Mga sirs... Please helps before Im having my own SARS attack... CTLIM my idol (taga bili ng mga pinaglumaan nya hehehe).. baka me advise ka.. You call me Boy Negro in our former company...
-
1. make sure that the room is very quiet when you run audessey. turn off the aircon or electric fan. the setup is best done at night when the rest of your family is in bed.
2.the ps3 decodes truhd & dts-hd ma internally and outputs it as pcm. there is nothing wrong with your receiver. the only way to light up the logos on your avr is to buy a player that can bitstream the advance codecs.
-
Thanks for your reply sir, it helps... yes I did set up the audyssey at 2 am when there's a deafening silence. Thats when I get the full band setting of my front and center speakers.
Do you have something in mind where I can tweak manually the settings.. Honestly, im not contented with the sounds it reproduce right now. SARS attack nearly coming...
Thanks again.
-
try setting your speakers to small w/ a 80hz crossover. the automatic calibration usually gets the speaker levels and distance right but if you want to make sure, you can measure it yourself using a sound pressure level meter and a calibration disk.
what's wrong with the sound? i thought it sounded awsome when playing dts hd ma? what do you mean it sounds better using default settings? you mean everything is set at 0?
-

Room size seems just right for the 605. Maybe try using the Audessey again.

Audyssey set-up should normally be a lot better than manual tweaking, but you have to do it right. Some tips:
1. Do the maximum number of mic positions.
2. Do the main listening position and then the next positions should be quite close to the first, maybe 2 feet away to the sides and front.
3. Don't put the mic close to a wall.
4. If the seat back is higher than your ears, set the mic 2" higher than the seat back.
5. If the seat is leather, cover it with a blanket.
Good luck!

Yes, I'm setting-up again later tonight. The sound is awesome with HT using BD movies, when I tried to play a couple of audiophile CDs I find it flat and muddy in the middle. Maybe Im expecting too much for system designed for HT.

Thanks for the tips... Maybe I was doing it wrong... When I set it up, I was standing and holding the mic just above my ears. I also placed the mic too close to the wall.. Thanks, kahit mapuyat ako mamaya, cant wait til I can optimize my system. :D

You can't hold the mic. Just a slight movement from your fingers will already affect the mic reading. You need to use a tripod. Get a cheap camera tripod. Actually, the lighter the better, meaning the cheaper the better.

i have a 604, and when i use the audyssey 2eq mic, it required me to measure 3 points, when everything is done, it set my all of my speakers to full band with subwoofer, the result is for ht, the sound is so so, but for music (i am not an audiophile) the sound coming out just does not sound good. i researched in other forums and most notably avsforum and found out that a lot of people have issues with regards to how audyssey sets up the bass (or lack of it). and a lot of the people recommended that they should use audyssey for the distance and speaker level measurement and then change the settings of the speakers' crossover to 80hz then put your subs crossover to maximum to let the receiver handle the lfe.
i did as read, and to be honest i think i like what i hear with my system now. i don't know if it could get much better, but for now it is miles apart from when audyssey's first calibration.

Audyssey does NOTdo the bass management. It is the AVR that does that. Audyssey determines the -3db point of the speaker's frequency response and sends that info to the AVR. The AVR then assigns this speaker as "Large" or "Small" (in the case of Denon) or "Full-band" or not full-band, in which case the crossover frequency is set. In the case of Denon, if the -3 db point is 40 hz or lower, the speaker is set as "Large" while in the case of Onkyo, the cut-off is 80 hz.
The Chief Technological Officer of Audyssey, Chris Kyriakakis, has consistently advised that after running Audyssey, it is best to set all the main speakers as "Small" or "not full-band." What you have done is actually perfectly in accord with what Audyssey itself recommends.
By the way, the primary function of Audyssey is not just speaker levels and distance but the creation of an inverse filter (similar to a very sophisticated parametric equalizer) that corrects errors introduced by the room in both the frequency and time domain.

That was also my experience when I set-up, it required me to test at the 1.center 2. Right end & 3. Left end of the room. It set my center & front at full band, +2db front +3db center -6db Subs respectively, I dont like the sound it reproduce when I tried my audiophile CDs so I have to revert the settings to 100hz & 0db. I will try setting up again when I have the tripod of my officemate (thanks for the tip streetsmart), maybe im doing it wrong when I set it up holding the mic.

ah ok, thanks for the heads up. i just followed what others did when i did some research, apparently they (as i am then) aren't as inform as you sir streetsmart, lumabas, it was a lucky move on my part.
thanks again sa info, because indeed, audyssey is a highly praised auto calibration system compared to i think what yamaha and pioneer has. and knowing what to expect and do after can atleast help people understand how to tweak or squeeze more out of their system. :)

would appreciate help for my current setup :
samsung bd up5000 + onkyo tx sr 605 + HDMI + 7.1 speakers
can anybody give me tip on what should i do to maximize the settings?
im not quite familiar on what i should see sa display screen ng avr ko when i play movies on the player.. sometimes i see the dolby red icon lighted up, sometimes wala..there are times when i see dolby 5.1 lighted,
what would be a good sampler to know that its playing MA, and 7.1? medyo nalilito na ako e.

Hi Streetsmart,
I manually adjusted the xover of main & center speakers to 80hz & your right, it sounded better. For my subs, what setting would i choose? The AVR sets the xover at 100hz, do I need to adjust to 80hz or 120hz? Thanks for your help. :D

sir,
What setting do you mean when you say "xover to maximum"? Adjust to 80hz, 100hz, 120hz or the adjustment should be done in the subs itself? Thanks for your help! :D
-
by maximum he means 120hz or higher. some subs have an ht bypass switch that bypasses the subwoofer's internal crossovers. this means that only the avr will do the filtering. if your sub doesn't have a bypass mode. just set it to the highest crossover setting.

ET414 is correct. At the AVR, the Low-Pass Filter setting for the LFE channel should be set to 120 hz. I think that this setting is often mislabeled as being a crossover for the subwoofer. It's not a crossover. It's actually a filter for the Low Frequency Effects (LFE) channel (the .1 in 5.1 or 7.1). The LFE channel has material which goes up to a maximum of 120 hz. The sub setting at the AVR ensures that only LFE material which is 120 hz and below goes to the sub. If that setting is at 80 hz, you will lose the material from 80 to 120 hz. Corrollarily, if the sub has a Low-Pass Filter (or often labeled as crossover), set that to 120 hz (or as high as it can go).
This is different from the crossovers of the other speakers (set at 80 hz usually), which tells the AVR to send frequencies above that point to the other speakers and frequencies below that to the sub. This corresponds to the 5 in 5.1 or 7 in 7.1. This is different from the LFE channel. You normally don't want this crossover to be above 80 hz cuz otherwise, that sound could be detected as coming from the sub, whereas the sub should "disappear." It's true that this conflicts with the advice to set the LFE channel to 120 hz but it's still the best advice cuz otherwise, you will lose the 80 to 120 hz information in the LFE channel (which is worse). Besides, the material in the LFE channel from 80 to 120 hz is not a lot.

PS3 cant output the HD audio via bitstream for the 705 to decode, so wala ka makikita na dolby trueHD sa avr. But you are essentially getting dolby truehd, but the decoding is done by the PS3. I dont know kung ano display sa avr of your 705, but sa denon 3808 ko, if decoding is done by source player, i get the display "multi-ch in". Hope this helps.

Thanks very much Munskie! I guess I still have a lot to discover about the 705 and hopefully I can get to know its capabilities soon. I tried playing Celine Dion and chose LPCM and all the 7 channels are working pero when I change to TrueHD 5 channels lang yung tumutunog ???

guys, im getting desperate.. i need help..
im not sure if my onkyo 605 receiver is hooked up /set up properly.. i just got a bluray DTS HD MA sampler from the buy and sell thread.. i have a firmware updated samsung bdp5000 dual format player.. its connected via HDMI thats 1.3 spec (as the box claim).. but how come i couldnt make this appear in the display of my onkyo?

Bro, does your BD player output the new HD audio formats via bitstream? Without bitstreaming, your 605 cant decode the HD audio formats (therefore, no display on avr like that in the pic). What happens though, is that the decoding is done on the player. Also check too if your Samsung BD player can internally decode DTS-Master Audio.

hi sir munskie, as per the samsung forums and the website, they just recently released a firmware update on their combo player:
This Firmware update provides the following benefits:
1. Upgrades current BD-UP5000 to profile 1.1
2. Upgrades BD-UP5000 with HD audio bit-stream output function. (i dont know if this is what you mean)
3. Updates User interface based on BD profile 1.1
4. Improves playback compatibility in some movies
so i upgraded my player when i got it, but ayun, it doesnt make my avr display that, unless siguro i go look for a player that decodes DTS HD ma..
i was hoping somebody would have the same setup/player that i have..
but anyways, thanks sir

Ok na yung bitstreaming. Just make sure na kasama ang DTS-MA

Mag bossing , na resolve na po ba yung issue ng clicking and popping sound sa onkyo 605,705,805 ? I was contemplating between the 705 and 805 but user's from other forums are still complaining about the said problems..
-
clicking and popping sound
Never had this issue with my 875 til now.
-
never encountered a popping sound with my 605.
-
hmmmm wala pa din naman po akong na experience sa 805. ???
-
likewise no popping sound with my 705 ;)
-
In that case, I guess I will continue my onkyo 705 purchase. by the way , heres the thread link from avsforums regarding onk's spopping :
http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=859792&page=1&pp=30
-
ive read such issue, but never encountered with my 805 ;)
-
i thought my 605 was prone to popping as well.. but when i read other forums and checked my fw version.. found out that i had the latest fw and my 605 is pop proof.. the only rant i have now is not seeng the dts hd ma/ or true HD displayed when im watching movies..
ive downloaded the new fw and the instructions just in case.. anybody who wants to do a DIY upgrade, i can readily send the file... and the how to links...
-
FINALLY!!
i was able to make TRUEHD and MA appear sa 605!!
culprit was my sammy duo player... ive thought na na update ko sya ng firmware.. eventually, di pa pala yun yung latest!
now im a happy person!
-
Congrats! Now you have to tell us your honest opinion on whether or not you can hear a difference if you compare it to plain-vanilla DD and DTS. ;D
-
I have popping sounds coming from my speakers every now and then. Is this an issue with the 705? I thought this only occurs when bitstreaming DTS-HD MA from the player to the 705. I don't even have a blu-ray player yet.
-
honest opinion.... YES!!
i dont have sensitive ears.. i started on the visual side... then i told myself, once i have a good hd setup, ill stop there..
then i bought a 605, and since i have a collection of hd/bd decided to get a sammy bd up5k duo player.. (to preserve ps3.. and gave my tosh a30 to my sis)..
was following this thread and said, why not, since i have the hardware, might as well make the most out of it..
then it was followed by 3 weeks of frustration... only to find out that the "lastest" fw update that i applied to my sammy wasnt the "LATEST" with the 1.3 bitstream support.. (what is it with long fw version name of sammy? cant they stick to 3 digit version?)
then last night, after almost giving up, i tried to check for an update.. and EUREKA...
with a pounding heart.... and fingers crossed, applied the update.... placed a BD sampler with DTS MA.....
....
all the frustrations are worth it.. its like a long treasure hunt and finding THE TREASURE!!
and the difference you ask??
for a newbie and untrained ear.. IT WAS STAGGERING DIFFERENCE!! audio quality and volume was x2 of that of 5.1....
now im beginning to understand when the said that DTS and DD 5.1 was "lossy"...
actually to be fair.. its not lossy.. the best way to describe uncompressed audio vs compressed is that... with compressed audio, youre like given appetizer.. and with uncompressed audio, its the whole buffet!
its more like an ephiphany of clearly hearing what wasnt there in the first place...
and i have untrained ears at that.
hope this FR post has helped...
word of advice.. if you have the hardware.. might as well make the most of it!
its worth it...

If your display isnt 1080p native, better go with the 805. My 720p native display didnt shine with the 875's HQV. But with a 1080p native display... :o.
I am not sure about the SQ difference of the 805 vs the 875 though.
just my .02 cents.

tv is 1080p...
oh well.. maybe sa october nalang... kung may pang sars na....
just 2 questions..
the 875 upscales component to 1080p via hdmi ba? meaning if i plug my wii via component, itll upscale to 1080p??
and how many hdmi input does the 875 have?

According to the manual,
-10w/channel
-the 1080p HQV processor
-VLSC on all channels
IMhO, if your display isnt 1080p native, settle for the 805. I had to upgrade to a 1080p display (and junk my 720p display) to realize the Reon's potential.

Hi! My 705 has arrived already and tried hooking my PS3 (via hdmi both audio and video). I tried playing some Bluray discs mainly Eragon (DTS-MA) and TMNT (Dolby TrueHD) but it seems the receiver isn't displaying these formats in the display. It just displays mulitchannel PCM. Is the audio coming out of my speakers already in HD? How can I make these formats appear in the receiver's display? Tried reading and rereading the manual but I can't get any answers. TIA :)

yup......PS3 cannot send the HD audio formats via bitstream. Internal decoding as eric had stated.
Some players which can send the audio formats via bitstream...
Panny BD30 and BD50
Sammy BD1400 and BD1500
Its a hardware limitation thats why PS3 cant send the new HD audio formats via bitstream. In theory though, even if multichannel PCM appears in the receiver, HD audio can still be had. The only difference, decoding is done by the PS3, not on the receiver.

yup, i stand corrected (removed my post to avoid confusion hehe). it seems that even if you set the hdmi to bitstream it will only send dd 5.1 .

Thanks sirs for the quick responses! I believe that the decoding ability of the Onkyo AVR as compared to the PS3 is still more superior but then it's a shame I cannot utilize it in my set-up unless I buy a standalone BD player. :-\
-
i believe the 705 can process multichannel pcm so you aren't really losing anything except for the hd logo ;)
-
I don't think meron study na much better ang decoding sa AVR compared sa PS3, after all, uncompressed PCM = uncompressed PCM hehe anyways i'm very satisfied sa PS3 + 606 combo ;D

does this means that you can still enjoy HD audio when using PS3 with an HDMI equipped receiver pero walang DTS-MA and Dolby TrueHD?

Sir, its under Source Setup/Name Edit. You can input a 10-character name. I think you also have to select Custom (instead of Default) on the Display option, also under Name Edit menu.

I'm using Dali Ikon with my ONKYO 705 and the sound is really great both for music and for movies (standard and blu-ray). ;D ;D ;D

Yup...thru multichannel PCM. ;)

my 805's are currently paired with missons 7 series full timbre match. never sounded so good! was ready to sell it plus my ditton celestion sub but withdrew.
i have not tried my MAs with it, i fear it won't leave the room. ;D

akala ko di ko to ma enjoy kasi di capable mag decode ng DTS-MA and Dolby TrueHD ang receiver ko.
thanks

actually kahit hindi hdmi receiver, it can also be done, as long as the BD player has 5.1 or 7.1 analog outs, and the avr with the same analog inputs.
-
What speakers could be paired with Onkyo Receivers in general?
In general? Pair it with brighter speakers. Speaker designs with metal dome/horn/ribbon tweeters would be good.
Monitor Audio bronze series, wharfedales?
Wharfedales would not be a good match. They use soft dome tweeters, so the sound is on the warm side.
Monitor Audio and Mission use metal dome tweeters, so they should be good. Sir oReOsHaKe loves the Dali Ikon, probably because its ribbon tweeters (plus a textile dome tweeter to even things out) are a good match.
Horn tweeters are old designs, so they're a bit tricky. If you want horn tweeters, it has to be a Klipsch horn. These days, Klipsch is the only company that can make a proper horn.
But you really have to audition yourself, since personal preference has a lot to do with it. Our inputs are useful only as a guide.

here is a very useful FAQ taken from avsforum.com
1) I own a Playstation 3 and want to get the best sound possible with my Blu Ray movies what should my settings be?
Please be sure to read through Questions 1 and 2 in the "HI DEFINITION AUDIO QUESTIONS:" secrtion (above) to get a fuller understanding of how the Playstation 3 and other hi def players decode audio. I will assume you are up to speed with that information in the things I am talking about next.
For nearly all situations setting your Playstation 3 to PCM output is going to be the best setting for great HD audio. When you select PCM during movie play back your receiver will likely say Multichannel on the front display (if you didn't change listening modes). Multichannel is normal and YES, you are getting True HD and uncompressed PCM audio playback (your PS3 is doing the decoding work, not the receiver, this is why the receiver gives a generic read out.)
Turning on PCM:
To select Linear PCM on the PS3; Play a Blu Ray movie then during playback of the movie, click the "Triangle" button, then select the "AV Settings" icon from the popup menu (looks like 2 sliders), "Audio Output Options" you can select (Linear PCM) or (Bitstream).
5.1 Home Theater Setups:
If you only have a 5.1 speaker set up for your home theater you never have to change your receivers DSP to anything other then Multichannel, this will be your best setting forever on the Onkyo 705 itself. ALL Blu Ray movies are at the very minimum made for 5.1 audio. However, please note; that if you play older Standard Definition (SD) movies, it still gives you a benefit of setting your player to bitstream so you gain ability to decode Dolby Digital and DTS on your receiver.
6.1 & 7.1 Home Theater Setups:
If you own a 6.1 or 7.1 speaker setup for your home theater and you look on the back of your blu ray disc box and the movie says 5.1 channel and you want to "matrix" the audio up to 6.1 or 7.1 channels, you need to switch your DSP to something like PLIIx (anything with the x or ex monikers will do this... ex. Thx Surround EX, Dolby Digital EX and DTS ES Matrix). These will fill in those other (1 or 2) extra speakers even though the sound track is only 5.1. If you leave it on multichannel and the original track is only 5.1 it will stay at 5.1. If you have a Blu ray movie that has a soundtrack create in 6.1 or 7.1 channels (it will say on back of the box) then you may choose to leave it on multichannel and just let the original soundtrack do its job filling all your channels.
What format are you getting? How many channels?
Playstation 3 will send up to 7.1 channels of audio over hdmi. Your receiver is never going to tell you this is happening. The only way you will know is if you click info on the PS3 you will see what kind of audio it is decoding internally. To find out what audio format and how many channels your PS3 is decoding click the "Select" button during movie playback, at the top you will see what its doing. (Ex. Dolby TrueHD 7.1 Ch. 48Hz 4.5 Mbps)
DTS HD Master Audio & the Playstation 3:
UPDATE: As of Playstation 3 firmware version 2.30 which is out now, the PS3 can internally decode DTS HD MA tracks and this is no longer an inconvenience for PS3 owners.
Now that the PS3 can internally decode DTS HD MA you want to keep your ps3 set to Linear PCM for best hi def audio quality of this format.
DTS Core (The "Lossy" DTS signal PS3 owners get if you set your player to bitstream):
At the heart of DTS HD Master Audio signal is an additional DTS Surround Sound Core track, this is the lossy version you are hearing when you play back DTS MA movies on your Playstation 3 using bitstream. DTS Core is actually very similar to the old school standard DTS signal (only up to 1.5 Mbps max). This is a far cry from the bandwidth of the Hi Def audio formats. DTS Core is also limited to a maximum of 6.1 channels only so you can't get 7.1 channel playback when DTS Core is in effect. Your forced to use your receiver to matrix that extra channel up to 7.1. Before the DTS HD MA patch on the ps3 this used to be what we heard all the time for dts hd ma movies. Now just be sure to keep you ps3 set to linear pcm output to get the hi def full version of dts hd ma track.
For more information on DTS Core please visit this link http://www.dtsonline.com/dts-hd/bett...d-tomorrow.php
2) Why won't my Playstation 3 allow my receiver to decode HD audio formats for me? Will it ever be able to?
Please be sure to read through Questions 1 and 2 in the "HI DEFINITION AUDIO QUESTIONS:" section above as well as the question preceding this one. You will need to have an advanced understanding of bitstream vs lossless bitsream vs PCM, also how HD audio formats getting decoded in the player vs the receiver.
Even though Playstation 3 is HDMI 1.3 device it doesn't mean its privy to the full list of 1.3a spec of capabilities. Sony cut a very early deal for a proprietary version of the Silicon Image Vastlane chipset (the 9132). The Vastlane chipset is the brain of HD audio and HD video used among many companies. After the PS3 came out Silicon Image released a (possibly revised) public version of that chipset used in Ps3, this newer chipset is the Vastlane 9134. These latest versions are used for players such as Toshiba A35 and Samsung BDP1400. Even to this day a year later, the new ps3's still use the older proprietary 9132 model.
The PS3 was the 1st 1.3 hdmi kid on the block. The Vastlane 9132 chip was made proprietary for Sony to use in the PS3 and is not sold to the public (other companies). Also, its "official" specs are not listed for the public on any known website. However, If you read the financial report from Silicon Image from the time frame (google this) when the playstation 3 came out you see the Ps3 chipset listed with specs (simple specs, but specs never the less). These specs do not mention handling of the latest HD audio formats at all.

I've spent a lot of time over the last couple months in the various Onkyo receiver threads, and there are a number of issues that come up over and over again. Here's my list of the 10 most common problems people have with their new Onkyo receivers and how to deal with them. All feedback is welcome.
Setting HDMI Audio Out=ON
This one is very common and it causes a lot of problems. Symptoms include not being able to receive any signal format other than 2 channel PCM, getting video but no audio from HDMI sources, and your receiver always being muted when you first turn it on. Always set HDMI Audio Out=OFF unless you want to use your television's speakers.
Expecting to see the TrueHD indicator light up with input from a PS3, HD-A1, HD-A2, HD-A3 etc.
If you have things configured correctly, you'll get all the benefit of TrueHD, DD+ and DTS-HD with your Onkyo receiver, assuming your HD-DVD or Blu-Ray player is capable. However, in order to see the TrueHD or DD+ or DTS-HD indicators light on your receiver, the player has to send the undecoded bitstream. Most current players can't do that. They decode the bitstream and send multichannel PCM. Your receiver can't look at the PCM and tell what format it was in originally so it can't turn on the indicator on the front panel. The list of players that can transmit TrueHD, DD+ etc. bitstreams is very short and includes the Toshiba HD-A35 and HD-XA2 with firmware >= 2.7, the Samsung BD-P1400 w/firmware update, the Pioneer Elite 95FD, and the Panasonic DMP-BD30 .
Expecting to get sound in Zone 2/3 for sources that are connected only with HDMI or SPDIF cables
If you want to use zone 2/3, you have to run stereo analog cables from your sources to your receiver in addition to any HDMI or SPDIF cables.
Sloppy speaker cabling
This is one mistake that can cost you your receiver. Take your time with the speaker wires, especially if you're using bare wire connections. It's very easy to have 1 or 2 stray copper wires brush up against the adjacent speaker terminal or the chassis which can trip the protection circuits or damage your receiver. Consider using banana plugs to avoid this problem, especially at the receiver end, or solder the bare ends of the wires to keep them from fraying.
Using the Surr Back speaker terminals instead of the Surr terminals in a 5.1 system
A lot of people new to home theater assume that in a 5.1 setup you have 3 front speakers and 2 behind you, and that when you go to 7.1, you put the two additional speakers on the sides. That's backwards. In a 5.1 system, you should have 3 speakers in front and two on the sides. The two on the sides are called the surround speakers and they should be connected to the surround speaker terminals. In a 7.1 system, you have two additional speakers behind you connected to the surround back speaker terminals. Because of room constraints or personal taste, many people with 5.1 systems put the surround speakers in the back of the room. That's okay, just make sure you connect them to the Surr L and Surr R terminals. The Surr Back L and Surr Back R terminals only get used for 7.1.
One of the symptoms of mistakenly using the Surr Back terminals in a 5.1 setup is Audyssey failing when it tests the Surrounds.
Dolby recommended speaker setup
THX recommended speaker setup
Plugging your subwoofer into the multichannel subwoofer input instead of the subwoofer preout
This is a mistake that even experienced people make. Both connectors are purple, so it's easy to do. If you're not getting any sound out of your subwoofer, this is the first thing to check.
Improperly setting the volume knob on your subwoofer before running Audyssey
Powered subwoofers always have a volume knob on the back. There's some leeway on where that volume knob gets set, but you'll have problems if it's too low or too high. The best way to set it initially is with a Radio Shack sound level meter. On the Speaker Setup/Level Calibration screen on your Onkyo, set the Subwoofer level to about -3.0dB and set the volume knob on your sub about 1/3 the way up. Then play the internal subwoofer test tone from your Onkyo. While the tone is playing, measure the sound level from your preferred seating position and adjust the volume knob on your sub until the Radio Shack meter reads 75dB. This is easier to do with two people. If you don't have a Radio Shack meter and don't want to get one, read the manual that came with your subwoofer and see what they recommend for the volume knob setting. You can also play some music and listen to some movies and adjust it by ear until it sounds natural.
If you get it about right, after you run Audyssey the Level Calibration for your subwoofer will be within a range from about -3.0dB to +3.0dB. If it's much below -3.0dB, turn the volume knob down a little on your subwoofer and run Audyssey again. Likewise, if it's much over 3.0dB, you have the volume knob on your subwoofer set too low. Turn it up and run Audyssey again.
If you like to run your subwoofer louder than the 75dB level and your Level Calibration is less than 0dB, increase the Level Calibration on your receiver a couple dB. On the other hand, if you want your subwoofer louder than the 75dB level and the Level Calibration is greater than 0dB, turn the volume knob on your sub up a little bit.
If the subwoofer Level Calibration is way off in either direction it can result in distortion. Also if it's too low and your subwoofer has an auto on/off feature, your sub may not come on except during especially loud special effects.
Make sure you read the manual that came with your subwoofer and if their recommendations differ from this, use the manufacturer's recommendations.
Radio Shack Sound Level Meter
Not checking Audyssey's results after doing a calibration
Just because Audyssey terminates normally, that doesn't mean it did everything optimally. Check the subwoofer Level Calibration, and check to see how many of your speakers are set Fullband. Unless your speakers are truly full range, you might want to set the crossovers manually.
Not setting Listening Modes for 2 channel sources
This is mostly an issue for your cable TV input. If you don't set a listening mode for 2 channel sources, you'll occasionally hear loud relay clicks when a program goes to a commercial or when changing channels. When that happens while switching to a program or commercial with a 2 channel soundtrack, just press the Surr button or THX button on your remote to select a 5.1 or 7.1 surround mode. Your receiver should remember that Listening Mode and the clicks should go away. For cable boxes that always transmit Dolby Digital, you should only have to do this once for DD 2.0. For DirecTV receivers that can send DD 2.0 and also 2 channel PCM, you'll have to do it a couple times.
Neither running Audyssey nor manually configuring your speakers
If you run Audyssey, it will determine which speakers are present and disable the ones not present. So if you have a 5.1 setup and run Audyssey, it will disable the surround back speakers. If you don't run Audyssey, remember to go into the Speaker Config and manually disable any speakers not present in your setup. To manually disable speakers, scroll through the crossover settings on the Speaker Config screen and select the option "None".
If you don't disable unused speakers, you may completely lose channels from the soundtrack you're listening to. You'll also be allowed to select Listening Modes that don't make sense for your speaker system. For instance on a 5.1 system, you should be able to select the PLII listening mode but not the PLIIx listening mode. If your Onkyo allows you to select PLIIx on anything less than a 7.1 system, it's not configured correctly.

IMO, Missions pair nicely with Onkyo's. Thats my experience with Mission M71, 72's plus an entry level onkyo receiver.

how about paradigms? will they match with onkyo?

Yup...thru multichannel PCM. ;)
Sir Munskie,
If you don't mind me asking, what's the difference if i will choose "direct" instead of "multichannel" in the listening preference. Got an Onkyo 605 US version & I notice that if i choose "multichannel" the audyssey is turned on (the sound is fatter) vs. "direct" mode audyssey is off but the multichannel is lighted with "thinner" sound. I'm talking about BD movies played on PS3.
Thanks!

this is how I understand it...and correct me if Im wrong.
with multichannel and when the audyssey is on, digital processing such as sub management/speaker configuration still takes place in the AVR. With direct mode, digital processing is bypassed, therefore those sub management/speaker config features must come from the source.
I think im the wrong guy to ask coz I dont even own an Onkyo. But I believe most features and functions are similar, minsan nagkakaiba lang sa name.

Yup meron nga but the display of the 705 is only one liner as compared to Dante's 875 which is 2-liner. You still have to toggle with the display to see the source-> DSP/audio format on that one liner display. :-\

Marvin, some small clarifications: Sub management/speaker configuration/distances/speaker levels should still be activated, even without Audyssey. When Audyssey is not activated, you lose the equalization feature of Audyssey. That's a huge disadvantage.
-
Yeah, you can still tweak your settings after the Audyssey auto setup, it's wierd though, it keeps on setting my center channel as Full Range lols
-

It's not really Audyssey that sets the center channel to Full Range. That's the criterion set by the AVR manufacturer. Audyssey detects the -3 db point of the speaker and the AVR decides if it is full-range or not. In any case, Audyssey always recommends that you switch back your speakers to not Full Range- better bass.

Aside from the normal EQ, Audyssey has 2 other products - Dynamic EQ and Dynamic Volume. Ang alam ko is that they are both included in the 606. Meron akong nababasa na problems sa hardware ng 606 which causes a hum sa speakers when Dynamic EQ/Volume is activated. If you don't experience that problem, that's good. :)
The Dynamic EQ/Volume are pretty much state-of-the-art. Maintains the proper balance of bass and treble, even with volumes below reference. Parang "loudness control" that adjusts automatically, depending on the volume.
Hinihintay ko ang Denon 2809, which will support that. September pa raw lalabas.

hdmi cable hdmi cable
bluray/hddvd/hdmi dvd (hdmi out)------------(hdmi in) onkyo 605 (hdmi out)------------(hdmi in) lcd/plasma
you have to set your players output to bitstream, para the onkyo will decode the sound. it will automatically detect the sound already. the 605 i think has 3 hdmi inputs so if you have 3 hdmi based players, you will need 4 hdmi cables. 3 for the players to the avr and 1 for the avr to the lcd/plasma.

i had the same dilemma before with my pio dv600 and denon 2308 using digital coax or optical. when i set the pio digital out to PCM, the denon 2308 will detect multi channel (receiver decoding) and can select Dolby or DTS on the receiver manually. but when you press audio sa pio 600 remote the denon will not change according to the dvd audio selected and need to set the denon remote to match the dvd audio. sometimes naka dolby ang dvd ko at ang denon naka DTS or vice versa. on the contrary, when i set the pio dv600 digital out to Dolby and DTS (dvd player decoding) the DTS or Dolby logo is lit on the receiver's input. when i press audio sa pio dvd to select DTS, the denon receiver will automatically change according to the selected signal from the dvd. so, ito ang ginamit ko na setting, 1 button to press (dvd remote) to switch between dolby or dts.
-
I'm already using HDMI cables. How will I know that the 605 is outputting in DTS from a DTS source?
It will really depend on what audio output you prefer from the DVD source. You can set the audio you preferred sa DVD player mo. The receiver will not be able to choose the audio for you. If may DTS or Dolby 5.1 ang DVD mo, then you have to choose between the 2 kung ano gusto mo (manually) or make one of the audio you prefer as your default audio sa DVD player mo. Whatever the DVD player will pass on to your receiver will then be recognized by the AVR as such whether its Dolby or DTS.

i had the same dilemma before with my pio dv600 and denon 2308 using digital coax or optical. when i set the pio digital out to PCM, the denon 2308 will detect multi channel (receiver decoding) and can select Dolby or DTS on the receiver manually. but when you press audio sa pio 600 remote the denon will not change according to the dvd audio selected and need to set the denon remote to match the dvd audio. sometimes naka dolby ang dvd ko at ang denon naka DTS or vice versa. on the contrary, when i set the pio dv600 digital out to Dolby and DTS (dvd player decoding) the DTS or Dolby logo is lit on the receiver's input. when i press audio sa pio dvd to select DTS, the denon receiver will automatically change according to the selected signal from the dvd. so, ito ang ginamit ko na setting, 1 button to press (dvd remote) to switch between dolby or dts.
Ganyan nga ang problema ko. Yan na rin ang gagawin ko. Thanks!

magkamatch ba ang paradigm at onkyo? :)
i have heard na paradigm and denon & paradigm and yamaha but not paradigm and onkyo. heard this when i was suditioning for a new speaker. sounds ok on both receiver. nagtataka nga ako why with two different seller of paradigm both stores did not pair the speakers with onkyo.
onkyo and mission ok, that is what i have ;)

waah this is wierd, my 606 with PS3 set to LPCM(meaning PS3 decodes the HD audio), basta BD na PCM, lumabas ang Audyssey light pero kung TrueHD, walang Audyssey light sa receiver @_@ take note naka MultiCh ang display sa receiver in both cases @_@ haven't tried a DTS-MA title though

That is really weird. Honestly, I've been reading about a lot of hardware problems with the 606. I hope there is a simple answer to this.
Do you notice a big difference pag TruHD and walang Audyssey? Sumama ang audio?

Hmmm hinde naman but you need to turn the volume up para maging dynamic ang sound, yung tamang reference level ika nga, kung meron kasi Audyssey, maski low volume, dynamic parin ang sounds, hmmm or i think hinde siya maka Audyssey basta 96khz ang input, yung na test ko na PCM 5.1 kasi 48khz lang ang output

That can't be right. With my Denon 2808, Audyssey is on with TruHD and DTS-MA or uncompressed LPCM and that's the highest possible audio bitrates. Meron ibang problem. I hope you solve the problem or else, it is most likely a hardware or firmware issue with 606. Bagong model kasi kaya baka may toothing issues pero sana hindi naman.

sir, can audyssey be implemented with stereo audio?
-
sir, can audyssey be implemented with stereo audio?
Yup, it should be on all the time except yung Pure Music/Direct Mode
@streetsmart: yup i already sent an email to Onkyo about it, actually parang nasa 96khz siya yata hinde nag on, hmmm need more testing though, most movies kasi nasa 48 khz/24 bit

I have inquired with the dealer where I bought the unit and he said I have to send the unit to them for firmware upgrade. Why is it in the US and Europe, owners of Onkyo AVRs can just download the firmware and upgrade their units themselves. Dito, kailangan pa ipadala sa dealer. Ok lang sana kung taga Manila ako. How about yong mga taga Mindanao and Visayas na nakabili ng units nila sa Manila.

actually, yan din ang peeve ng mga taga US and EU... all onkyos should be sent to send it to authorized service centers... im not sure if their official website has this support for self upgrading of fw... parang nakasulat dun is carry in option lang talaga e, but i chanced upon some other forum that they were able to obtain a cd of the firmware.. kasi sa EU naman you have the option to DIY... so some guy uploaded the cd image EU FW to the interweb, then some guy tested it in his US onkyo.. and since it worked, so somewhere in the interweb are fws of onkyo and a howto on how to DIY.. kaya lang i dunno kung mavovoid ang warranty ng local natin dito if you DIY..

I just got my new Onkyo 606. Everything is great, until I noticed that there's a popping sound whenever I switch sources (dvd, game, cd). It also happens when I pause, skip and stop during dvd playback. Although it's not that loud, I guess it's still annoying since I posted this concern here :). To all new Onkyo user (605, 705, 805 and 875) do you also experience this? Is it just normal to have that popping sound?
One more thing, my avr also produces the mysterious "hum" when you pause during movie playback and when volume is set to above 50. But that doesn't bother since I don't pause and increase the volume, can't see the point there.
Thanks in advance, hopefully someone replies :)

I have a 605 that im using for 2 months now, i never experience that popping or humming sound whenever I pause, switch, etc... There's a slight delays in switching sources e.g from dvd to PS3 which turns my screen into green, its maybe because it detects the signal thru the hdmi. ;D
-
Same here. Been using my 606 for two weeks and never encountered any popping sound.
Best to contact the store where you bought it and let them now as early as possible. I'm sure
they will be able to help.

I have another question, does it automatically upscale to 1080i? I hooked up my htpc and it outputs 720p, my new dvd outputs 1080p.
how does it upscale to 1080i? do I need to change some settings in my receiver? or my pc setup?
TIA

Most of the (up)scalers in AVRs in the price range of the 606 do not proccess signals if it is 720p and up already and most (if not all) does not do it at all on HDMI inputs. It works only on 480i/p and 576 i/p and on analog inputs only.

It seems that when I setup my DVD to play either DD or DTs it defaults to PLIIx for DD and DTS Neo:6 for DTS. I changed the listening preference and when it's already assigned to DD and DTS the rear speakers doesn't seem to work. Am I missing something here?

Rear speakers will work only if you're using DSPs that has the ability to matrix: Dolby Prologic IIx (PLIIx), THX Surround EX, Dolby Digital EX, DTS ES Matrix
On the Onkyo 705 not all of these DSP's are available for all users. If you have a 7.1 speaker setup ALL DSP's are available to you and enabled in all source scenarios. If you own 6.1 or 5.1 setup, less and less DSP's become available.
Each of these matrix DSP's listed above have similar ways of using cross-channel encoding to create the back surround channel audio. These do not become true discrete channels they are for lack of a better term "fake". Many people here on forums prefer PLIIx Movie just because it gives a nice clean balance sound. People who use 6 channel setups can only access PLIIx Movie if the source audio is 2 channels, with 5.1 sources its not. This doesn't have to be the "go to" DSP though so don't feel left out if you have a 6 channel setup there are still other matrix-ing DSP's available to 6 channel users (all of the other ones listed above).

So sir, you're saying that for DD it's normal to be outputed as DD PXII while for DTS it's DTS NEO:6? But how come when I select stereo, it still outputs on all speakers and not just the fronts?
Do I still need to change something in the listening preferences or just leave it as deault (Last Valid)?

Try running Audyssey.. But you can always choose the DSP that suits you. If you have a 7.1 setup, use the DSP that can matrix 5.1 audio to 7.1.

No I did not, just manually configured everything. Do I need to run that?
is your system a 5.1 or a 7.1? yung nag setup ako with my 5.1 i mistakenly put my surround speakers into the rear surround posts of the 606 ::) lols kaya laking gulat ako pag run sa Audyssey bat ang daming speaker error lols

5.1 lang, I think I know where the problem is. I connected my rear speakers sa surround back instead of surround.
-
I already connected my rear speakers to the surround left and right ports, now I know that my connections are correct (5.1 setup). In DD it says DD so that one has been corrected, however in DTS it still shows NEO:6 ???. I know that NEO:6 only works in 7.1, but how come mine still shows NEO. I set Listening Preferences to DTS for DTS, but it still defaults to NEO when I select DTS.
Am I still missing someting here?

Double check the audio settings of your Movie. To be sure, toggle the information display of your dvd/bluray player to see what audio track is playing. I think Darkwing is correct, you may not be playing a DTS 5.1 track.

no brainer, 875 syempre, the mic, maka hiram ka naman siguro dito sa forum, manual you can download from the internet. the remote, that's a bit challenging. kasi you need it to set the receiver up, pero i still think the 875 is the better option. unless, 8 hours naka bukas dun sa pinagdedemohan.

Hmmm hinde naman but you need to turn the volume up para maging dynamic ang sound, yung tamang reference level ika nga, kung meron kasi Audyssey, maski low volume, dynamic parin ang sounds, hmmm or i think hinde siya maka Audyssey basta 96khz ang input, yung na test ko na PCM 5.1 kasi 48khz lang ang output
I just learned that in some lower-end AVR's with Audyssey, when the input is 96 khz or higher, di na umaandar ang Audyssey kasi di na kaya ng chips ng AVR. The problem may be the limited processing power/memory of the AVR.

This is the first receiver i bought. Was so excited to set it up, i didn't read the manual, just the quick setup. Tuloy mali pala pagkabit ko ng speaker wires, pinapasok pala sa gitna :-[ :-[ :-[
Blooper 2
I tried all of the buttons to see the features. Kala ko sira yung remote. Yun pala kailangan press yung receiver button to use the other buttons.
Blooper 3
I watched 2 movies pero parang hindi ako satisfied sa 5.1 nuong una sa Pro Logic 2 and i was also wondering bakit pcm lang at dsp ang nakalight, only to find out later kailangan ko palang i set to lpcm output nung dvd player.
After several bloopers - Ganda ng Onkyo. sulit
Next project PS3. . .
Teka parang mainit katawan ko, para akong lalagnatin. Ito na ba yung SARS!!!

question lang po, if your using the 606 with an upscaler dvd player thru hdmi, tapos naka set yung upscaler mo to 1080p, will the 606 downscale it to 720p? kasi i read this on cnet pero not sure kung tama nga, kasi parang i read it somewhere here in pdvd, na if your input source is hdmi it will just pass it thru as it is... so kung naka set sa dvd player is 1080p it will not downscale it. if other input source ang ginamit like rca, s-video, that is the time that the 606 will upscale it to 720p.
anyone? ???

ic, salamat po sir darkwing. pero how come sa website ng onkyo naka lagay sa specs nito is 1080p? :(

uhmm baka it just means it will pass through 1080p, ang nasa manual talaga is upconvert up to 720p/1080i only hehe
-
uhmm baka it just means it will pass through 1080p, ang nasa manual talaga is upconvert up to 720p/1080i only hehe
siguro nga, baka if your output is already 1080p it will just function as a pass through lang. :)

I just learned that in some lower-end AVR's with Audyssey, when the input is 96 khz or higher, di na umaandar ang Audyssey kasi di na kaya ng chips ng AVR. The problem may be the limited processing power/memory of the AVR.
bro, ang affected lang ba nito yung Audyssey Dynamic EQ™ ? yung audyssey speaker calibration hindi naman right? since the config is not processed in realtime... sana ganun..
TIA,
Don

I dunno basta naka off yung Audyssey light sa amp basta 96khz, actually i really didn't noticed anything peculiar sa audio quality kasi naka full blast yung pag play ko sa concert, pansin ko lang when trying to lower the volume off pala yung Audyssey lols, what is wierd though naka On pa rin yung Dynamic EQ sa Audio Settings

A week ago, I forced all of the video signals to come out to 720p via HDMI in my 705 from its auto default. Everything went fine until yesterday upon turning it on, nothing is displayed on my AX100. I tried cable tv via composite and output to HDMI, PS3 output to HDMI and Pio DV400 output to HDMI nothing happened. Then I just reverted the settings of the 705 to auto and everything is well again. Weird! Didn't try to set it back and test in forced 720p again.
-
Hmmm must be an HDMI sync thingy
-
sir green.. how much bili mo sa 606 and where?
thanks
im planning to get my first avr..kaso hindi ko alam kung onkyo, denon or hk! hehe
-
Bought mine from Sights and Sounds, Shangrilla.
P 15,000.00 cash + P 13,000.00 cc (Black)
The store opposite S & S is offering Silver Denon 1908 (with pre outs and hdmi, 7.1 ch) @ 27,500.00
You can audition them. Don't know about HK kung saan meron sa Shang. Meron rin mga stores sa 5th flr. Probably may HK doon.
Happy Hunting!

thanks! ;)

Hi! also bought my onkyo 606 at S&S recently and about the upconverting issues, yes upto 1080i lang ang 606. but the good news is if you have a 1080p upconverting dvd player you can just set the avr to just pass through the video signal straight to your TV.. ;)
Anyways when I tried calibrating my speakers using the mic thingy, sobrang hina ng pag set nya! nasa 50plus na volume ko d ko pa masyado marinig. kaya nilakasan ko din lahat hehe walang kwenta din ung calibration hehe ;D
-
BTW, I have a question for those who have 606... If you're going to use your ps3 for both gaming and playing BD, where do you plug it's HDMI? at HDMI1 slot (DVD) or HDMI4 slot (GAMING/TV)? ???

HDMI slots are assignable so it doesnt matter where do you want to plug the hdmi cable but for labeling purposes i assigned my PS3 to game/tv switch in the front panel while my dvd player to DVD. ;D

Calibration uses Audyssey which is pretty much state-of-the-art. Hindi normal ang experience mo. After it is set up, the 0 db level on your volume control should be equal to reference level, which is very loud.
Did you use a tripod to hold the mic?

Nope hehe didn't use any tripod. I just placed the mic on my bed (where i usually stay when watching dvds)... do i need to use a tripod? maybe i should just try calibrating again... :P

That's what I thought. You need a tripod, otherwise sira ang calibration. Kung wala ka, kuha ka lang sa CD-R King. Yung mura lang, ok na.
Set the mic at the level of your ears when you watch. Do at least 6 positions, in a circle of around 2 feet radius around the main listening position. But don't position the mic near the wall. It should be absolutely quiet when you do the calibration.

AMP ---> speaker matching is [very] subjective, IMO.
It would be best to audition those speakers, using your 606, and decide which would be best for your "taste" ...

I agree with you sir ... it's quite a hassle, but the last time i bought speakers, i brought along my Onkyo AVR ... this way you already know what to expect when you connect the speakers at home ...another thing is that since you have a new model Onkyo, try to look at stores with the same model of AVR - this would take out the hassle of bringing your AVR, just bring your test CD's and DVD's

ONKYO TX-SA906X AND TX-SA806X TO BE RELEASED IN JAPAN THIS MONTH
(http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii48/JAQY888/3019c4bf.jpg)
QUOTE:
Whether to call it a "champagne" or "gold" finish, we're not sure, but Onkyo is definitely making some kind of fashion statement with these receivers. The TX-SA806X is the natural follow-up to last month's TX-SA706X announcement, but then Onkyo went and broke the naming convention with the TX-NA906X receiver. That's some kind of marketing. But the specs on these new 7.1-channel models look good -- typical beefy Onkyo construction is good for 200- and 180-Watts (into a 6-Ohm load) from the NA906X and SA806X models, respectively. Some notables include the Reon HQV video processing, 4-in / 2-out HDMI 1.3a ports and DTS-HD MA and Dolby TrueHD decoding. We'll let you read on through for all the spec details, but with these shipping later this month, we hope that TX-SR906 and TX-SR806 models for export can't be far away.
Prices: TX-SA906X = ¥367,500 ($3,300)
TX-SA806X = ¥262,500 ($2,400)

Thanks streetsmart! but the audyssey instructs me to put it in only 3 postions... center listening area, left area, and right... how can i do 6 positions with it?
-

yep i know they're assignable.. :) actually i also did the same i put my ps3 to the game/tv slot and i notice that the ps3 automatically chooses what type of sound (dts, PLII, Multichannel, etc..) is the best for a particular game.. i was just wondering what if i played a blu-ray movie, will it also assign them automatically? unlike when i play dvds at my player which is assigned to the dvd HDMI slot, i can choose whatever suits best for my taste.. hmm...
hehe sorry kung magulo ako mag explain hehe ;D

as i understand it, yung 6 position ng mic is for audyssey multi-eq, pag three positions lang ang calibration it's audyssey 2 eq.
-

Yes. There are different versions of Audyssey. Some can do 3 positions, others 6, others 8, others 32. I guess that the Onkyo 606 has the version with only 3 mic positions.

me too, thats why a lot of people praise the audyssey system, its the closest thing to getting a manually calibrated sound automatically. i have a 604. 2 eq din lang sa akin. the 1st time i set it up, the sound actually i did not like. but after asking around here, the thing to do after calibrating from audyssey is to set your speaker to small, then turn your sub's cross over to the max level and the receiver cross over setting to 80. and the sound now is very acceptable. try mo bago mag manual calibration.

Video Calibration Comes To Integra AVRs, Pre-Pro
By Joseph Palenchar -- TWICE, 8/21/2008 7:26:00 AM
Upper Saddle River, N.J. — Integra is taking video-display calibration technology out of the high-definition display and putting it into two A/V receivers (AVRs) and a preamp processor.
The $1,900-suggested DTR-8.9 and $2,600 DTR-9.9 AVRs are the industry’s first with embedded Imaging Science Foundation Certified Calibration Controls (ISFccc) protocols. The products will also be the first, or among the first, AVRs with built-in video-calibration technology, depending on other introductions at the CEDIA Expo.
Integra’s $2,000 DHC-9.9 preamp-processor, also incorporating ISF calibration, is among a handful of pre-pros with video-calibration technology. Anthem has such pre-pros, but they don’t use ISF technology.
All three Integra models ship in September and will be displayed at the Expo.
The introductions make it possible, Integra said, to individually optimize video signals for each video source connected to an AVR or preamp-processor without resorting to complex cable routing and customized remote-control macros. Such “workarounds” make system operation more complex for consumers, Integra contended.
Using the Integra components, installers can use a video-switching AVR or preamp-processor to select video sources, optimize video settings for each video source, and direct the video signal over a single HDMI output to a TV or projector. In contrast, in home theaters that combine other AVRs and video-calibrating TVs, installers can’t individually calibrate video settings for each video source unless they run a video cable or cables from each source to the TV, then separately run audio cables from each video source to the AVR or pre-pro, Integra explained. Without the additional cables, the TV would apply the same calibration setting to all of the multiple sources being switched in the A/V receiver or pre-processor.
In the new Integra components, all coarse-grain and fine-grain calibration adjustments correspond to the ISFccc protocols, and access to the adjustments will be restricted to ISF-trained calibration technicians who perform calibration services to consumers for a fee. Most of Integra’s installer accounts have ISF-certified technicians on staff, said sales director Keith Haas.
Integra “made everything simple by putting the calibration controls in the receiver and providing separate calibration memory for each input,” said Joel Silver, president and founder of ISF, which provides video calibration training and services. “Now, ISF-trained technicians can achieve a perfect match for all the sources and also provide the end user will simple, intuitive control over sources and switching."
For consumers and installers, Integra added, “the simplest and most reliable way to connect different video sources – DVD player, HD player, satellite TV, cable TV, etc. – is by using an A/V receiver or preamplifier to select the desired source and direct the video signal over a single output to the TV or projector. “
Multiple display makers incorporate ISF calibration tools in at least some of their models, Integra said. Those companies include Pioneer Elite, LG, Runco, Vidikron and Epson. Other brands and models also offer detailed levels of color adjustment but do not feature ISF calibration, a spokesman added. Sometimes these controls are easy to access by the end user, but in other cases, the person calibrating the set must know a secret set of commands to get into the hidden menus, he said.
With the three new products, Integra is expanding its selection of components equipped with HD Radio to four from three. All three new models feature HD Radio, joining a carryover $550 TUN-3.7 component tuner with optional HD Radio/satellite-radio tuning card. Two other HD Radio-equipped components, the $2,400 DTR-8.8 AVR and $1,600 DTC-9.8 pre-pro, will be dropped when the three new models ship.

Sounds like the ISF calibration will require the services of an ISF-certified technician. Baka may secret code to access the calibration controls. Once you get into the controls, it seems like you can adjust gray scale, gamma, color space, etc. for individual sources, just like an advanced video processor.
The problem is that I am aware of only one person in the Philippines who is ISF-certified. John from AV Driver - and I don't think they offer Onkyos. They distribute Denons.
Also, even if you can find the codes to unlock the ISF calibration, you will need special equipment (colorimeter) and software to do the calibration.
In other words, I doubt if this feature will be useful for most people in the Philippines.

Pwde ba banana plug sa onkyo 606? sinubukan ko kasi sakin ayaw e, pnilit ko ipasok pero sobrang sikip parang masisira yun terminals.
Pwedeng pwede bro! Just take out the black plastic thing from the plastic terminals with a small screwdriver and you can plug in the banana plugs! Hope this helps. ;-)

You can't output DTS-MA and Dolby TruHD through the PS3. The PS3 internally decodes these and sends them as PCM to the receiver. The receiver receives these as PCM "Multi-channel" inputs.
If the player can send the audio via bitstream to the receiver and the receiver is capable of decoding hi-def audio, that's the only time you will see "DTS-MA" & "Dolby TruHD" sa receiver mo. Your receiver is capable but the player is not.
Bottom-line: It doesn't matter if the decoding is done by the player or the receiver.

this one is correct sir, but your 805 will display "multichannel", but its outputting tru hd or hd-ma your ps3 decoded but in linear pcm form, so its still lossless.

Your AVR will only display DTS-MA or TRUE HD if you bitstream RAW data from your player and let your AVR decode the hi-def audio formats..

Pagkakaalam ko Jake hindi capable ang PS3 of bitstreaming hi-def RAW audio to the receiver unlike Panasonic BD30 or BD50. It can however decode hi-def audio by itself and pass it through the AVR. Pag pass through lang sa AVR, then it won't display DTS-MA or TRUE HD sa AVR mo but multi PCM yata but then you will still get Hi-def audio in your speakers..

Why don’t I see True HD and DTS HD MA light up on my receiver when I play Blu Ray and HD DVD movies?
If you own a some older series HD players, for example Blu Ray players (Ex. Playstation 3, Samsung 1200) / HD DVD player Toshiba A2, A20); those players are NOT designed to output in lossless bitstream (Hard to think those are outdated technology already but for this kind of usage they are!). If you own one of these players its decoding these HD audio formats internally (instead of sending the signal to the receiver to decode). When using these older players you should set your player to output in PCM. It will send this PCM data "predecoded" to your receiver and your receiver doesn't have to do anything but play it. Therefore, your receiver will not show True HD or DTS HD MA light up (because it’s already been predecoded inside your player already) You ARE still getting True HD/DTS HD MA even though your player decodes it you just are not having to use your receiver to do the decoding.
Only players like the ones outlined below in, send out lossless bitstream of "both" True HD and DTS HD MA to allow your receiver to decode it. Yes, if you own those players, you will see True HD/DTS HD MA display on the front of your receiver. These players allow your receiver to decode when your set them to bitstream output.
Players that support lossless bitstream of both True HD and DTS HD MA formats:
LG BH200 [Blu Ray & HD DVD] True HD/DTS HD MA with latest firmware update
Samsung BD-UP5000 [Blu Ray & HD DVD] Lossless Bistreaming of True HD/DTS HD MA with latest firmware update (1.3 or later)
Samsung BDP-1400 [Blu Ray]

hehe! pretty straight forward...but precisely what i needed as info.
thanks so much doc jun!
wonder now how sony ps3 can do this in the future...and if firmware upgrades can handle it. don't understand why sony didn't consider the output of such in the first place.
ahahay!
-
As I mentioned, it doesn't matter.
To get hi-def audio, there are 2 possibilities:
1. The player sends the audio file to the AVR via bitstream and the AVR decodes it. Doon lalabas ang "Dolby TruHD" or "DTS-MA." For this, you need a player which can send the bitstream (like Panasonic BD-30) and an AVR which can decode (such as the 805).
2. The player decodes the audio and sends it to the AVR as LPCM or "Multi-channel In." For this, you need a player which can decode the hi-def audio (such as PS3 or Panasonic BD-50).
Both methods result in exactly the same thing. You get the hi-def audio.
-
But like you told me, sir Mark, if your AVR doesnt decode the hi def audio, it doesnt take advantage of Audessey right?
-
But like told me, sir Mark, if your AVR doesnt decode the hi def audio, it doesnt take advantage of Audessey right?
Yes, it does. The problem is if your input is analog. In that case, Audyssey processing is not used.
-

It will take advantage of Audessey, but not on 96khz audio, not on my 606 anyway ;D

what if i have a player that decodes truhd and an AVR that cant decode truhd, do i still get hi-def audio?
-

as sir streetsmart said as long as your avr has hdmi, then the player will decode it send it to the avr as lpcm, the only difference is, what you will see on your avr's display is "multichannel" instead of "dobly hd" or"dts-ma", but its still hidef audio.
but if your avr has no hdmi, then i think it won't even if you have a player that can decode, because you will only use the coax or optical outs to output classic dd and dts signals.

1080p --- pass-through only
1080i --- from component video to hdmi
had this same confusion before
if u want u can buy a player or monitor with upconversion up to 1080p
as far as the 606 is concerned it can only upconvert component video up to 1080i by using hdmi output
hope this helps
-
forgot to ask.. is the 606 a 1080p?
-
isteb,
the 606 don't have the capability to convert any video signals to 1080p. Although it can pass-through 1080p resolution from other sources.
also, the 606 can upconvert component video signals to hdmi, but up to 1080i only

ONKYO TX-SR606 7.1-High Definition Receiver
(http://www.eu.onkyo.com/ir_img/17575774_36598187a6.jpg)
For
Vigorous and exciting sound; full-house specification; exemplary menus and set-up
Against
Can get a little abrasive when played at antisocial volumes
It’s an indication of how comfortably the Award-winning Onkyo TX-SR605 led the £400-ish receiver pack that its replacement, this TX-SR606, was the subject of rabid speculation on the whathifi.com forums for almost two months earlier in 2008.
Anticipation was reaching fever pitch by the time we got our hands on an example, and as it's five-star First Test demonstrated, it may not be another huge leap forward but the ’606 receiver is still mightily impressive.
The TX-SR606 grabs your attention from the off with its brutal looks, comprehensive specification (four HDMI inputs should be sufficient for even the most expansive system) and, most significantly, the absolutely barnstorming nature of its sound.
It’s a simple device to get the best from – on-screen menus are clear, extensive and a lot nicer than the Denon AVR-1909 equivalents, the remote control (reworked since the demise of the ’605) is logical and not overloaded, and the mic-driven set-up is reasonably quick and precise.
Bags of boom for your buck
Everything admirable about the Onkyo is reiterated in the first few minutes of our I Am Legend Blu-ray. In terms of sheer dynamic clout, the Onkyo can’t be touched by its rivals – it can make you leap out of your seat with the sudden intensity of its attack.
Generating a big, well-defined soundstage, the ’606 steers effects nimbly, separates and integrates dialogue well, and simply slams through low-frequency stuff.
None of this is at the expense of finesse, though, and the Onkyo can tickle the hair on the back of your neck in a tense, quiet scene just as effectively as it can clip you ’round the ear during a big action set-piece.
It’s just as exciting with non-HD multichannel audio or stereo music. There’s no doubt the ’606 can become a tad brash in extremis, the top of the frequency range becoming clamorous if you’re really pushing on, and this is a trait that’s been made more obvious by the Denon AVR-1909’s greater body and richer tonality.
But if, above anything, it’s full-on movie thrills you want, you won’t spend £400 more effectively than this.

Reviewed By HomeCinemaChoice From TechRadar Website
The world's hottest AV receiver has had a facelift.
After breathing new life into the moribund AVR market with the TX-SR605 last year, Onkyo has returned with a sequel product, the £400 TX-SR606.
(http://www.gspr.com/onkyo/images/txsr606b_front_300.jpg)
This Onkyo receiver is one of the relatively few affordable receivers able to decode DTS-HD Master Audio and Dolby TrueHD soundtracks from a Blu-ray disc
Familiar styling
A cursory glance would indicate that there's little real difference between the two models, so what's new? Well, certainly not the look of the receiver, which I must confess to not being that enamoured with.
The angular fascia and the impossibly small buttons with unreadable labels make me want to hide it away in a cupboard.
Our review model was black, but a silver option is also available.
New features
What is all new for 2008 is 1080i upscaling, two more HDMI sockets, and Dynamic EQ tech. This year's remote control is completely different, too.
It's not a learning remote and there's no fancy LCD display on it, but it is well designed and can control other Onkyo components. And, now that the company has introduced equipment control using the HDMI CEC protocol (dubbed here RIHD), it should be able to control a range of other kit.
Panny's VieraLink, Toshiba's RegzaLink, Samsung's Anynet+ and select Sharp's TVs are all compatible when laced up via HDMI.
(http://www.areadvd.de/images/2008/onkyo_tx_sr606_back1.jpg)
Impressive connectivity
Connectability is very good for the price point; the four HDMI inputs give you the same flexibility that you would enjoy on a higher-end receiver.
They can all pass through a 1080p signal and handle uncompressed multichannel audio, including DSD from a Super Audio CD player.
There's no Ethernet port or USB inputs, though, so you can forget about any networking or multimedia playback functionality. That's reserved for Onkyo's higher-priced flagships.
Simple interface
Ease of use is better on the 606 over the 605. Onkyo has significantly improved its GUI.
It's perhaps not quite as flashy as Sony's receiver interface, or as intuitive as Denon's, but the new icons and larger text size make the initial setup procedure a lot more user-friendly.
You can, of course, skip complex manual calibration altogether if you use the Audyssey auto setup feature. Just plug in the supplied microphone, position it in your favourite chair and start the audio test.
The Onkyo will set its own speaker level and delay times. All you have to choose is how you want to allocate the seven speakers.
If you have a 5.1 system, the spare rear surround channels could even be used to drive a stereo pair in another zone, although I would always recommend matching the box with a 6.1 or 7.1 speaker package.
6.1 surround sound
The TX-SR606 seemed happy driving my 6.1-channel cinema, sending plenty of oomph to each Miller & Kreisel speaker.
It's rated at an optimistic 140W per channel into 6 Ohms , but in our Tech Labs, we measured the receiver's real world output at 122W in two-channel mode, dropping to just 38W with five channels driven (at 8 Ohms).
That may sound low, but it's actually a slight improvement on the SR605, and don't forget that this is a £400 amp.
(http://www.areadvd.de/images/2008/onkyo_tx_sr606_inside_elkos.jpg)
Dynamic performance
That said, it has enough transient power to deliver the bombastic sound effects of Blood Diamond on Blu-ray with the same comparative detail of its predecessor.
It's a brash, exciting amplifier that's tuned for fine detail and bass thump. It therefore makes short shrift of modern movie soundtracks, as long as you don't try and crank it up much, as which point it becomes a bit breathless.
Just flick to a chapter on Blood Diamond to hear how well this AVR handles short, sharp bursts of gunfire.
A less dynamic amplifier would have trouble convincing your speakers to make such sound effects convincing, but here there's enough rampant power to really feel the impact.
The metallic click of the reload will probably make you jump, too.
Broad soundstage
The ocean-deep bass and crunchy treble manage to convey a broad musical soundstage too, but I feel the lack of mid-range expression and muscle extension prevents this receiver from sounding like a true hi-fi amplifier.
Vocals and acoustic instruments just don't have the depth of the models higher-up the range. The SR606 is better suited to rock and dance music, and action movies, than classical music and costume dramas.
But then you do a reality check and remember this is basically an entry-level product; somehow it just feels like it should be compared to stock much richer. And that I guess is the ultimate compliment.
DTS-HD and Dolby TrueHD
Using HDMI as the primary input, there's little this model can't accomplish. I was very impressed by its performance when it took an uncompressed DSD stream from a Super Audio CD via HDMI from my 80GB PlayStation 3.
It's also still one of the relatively few affordable receivers able to decode DTS-HD Master Audio and Dolby TrueHD soundtracks from a Blu-ray disc.
The 606 will signpost the jump in clarity and bass extension when you switch from regular 5.1 mixes to their higher-res cousins. Try Chapter 3 on Close Encounters of the Third Kind: Ultimate Edition and select the DTS-HD MA track to hear for yourself.
(http://www.areadvd.de/images/2008/onkyo_tx_sr606_eq_settings.jpg)
Excellent EQ
As well as extending the bass notes lower as the alien ship hums overhead, making everything resonate, the sound effects seem supremely well-placed to put you in the centre of the action.
The main new tech running throughout Onkyo's 2008 AVR range is Audyssey Dynamic EQ. This clever audio processing maintains the dynamic range of a soundtrack, even when the volume is lowered.
Normally, when the level drops, LFE and ambiance vanishes. Dynamic EQ does a great job of maintaining the balance.
Onboard scaler
The onboard scaler is also intriguing. While it doesn't upscale to 1080p, it does make a decent fist of building up SD images to 1080 lines and a better one of making 720p images.
If you don't have better upscaling at source, perhaps in a Freeview box or standard Sky receiver, it's a worthwhile addition to the feature roster.
Of course, it's rare for a DVD player not to have its own scaler these days too, and again, the only way to find out which component is the best at upscaling is to compare them.
I discovered that my Denon DVD-1910 did a better job of turning 576 lines into 1080 than the Onkyo, but the Onkyo was certainly better at it than an older Samsung player, which caused blocking and softness.
Of course, if you have a 1080p source, you can simply pass this straight through without any scaling, thanks to the latest HDMI 1.3a ports. And with four of these to choose from you're fairly well future-proofed.
Improved performance
By adding a scaler, Dynamic EQ, two extra HDMI ports, and improving the power output (albeit slightly) Onkyo has crammed enough inside the SR606 to bring it bang up-to-date.
The danger was always that this could push the features-to-performance ratio out of whack and compromise the Onkyo's audio prowess.
Fortunately hasn't happened. The chassis, outward design and most of the internal electronics seem exactly the same.
(http://www.areadvd.de/images/2008/onkyo_tx_sr606_3.jpg)
Better than the original?
As I've said, the sonic balance is geared toward action movies and in-your-face soundtracks, which it handles very well, lending real impact to explosions and picking out treble detail in complicated mixes.
It's not the most refined sound, but its dynamic and direct approach will certainly have wide appeal. And there's no doubting this box of tricks is extraordinary value.
In short, this is one sequel that I suspect will do even better business than the original.

sir gisan925,
i agree with you, contrary to some reviews, i found this amp to be a very musical amplifier. truth is it can make you distinguish excellent recordings from the bad ones. use it only in stereo w/ b&w dm302 - great soundstage ::) , just make sure that the speakers are spaced properly ( at least 5 feet apart ).

Although I haven't actually tried Onkyo 806 + B&W 684, I'm pretty sure your 684 will benefit from the added power. The higher the power, the better your 684 will sound since B&W are known power hungry speakers. Of course, you have to audition it yourself to hear if the degree of improvement justifies the added costs. If you're satisfied with 606 so be it. I've heard 606 with 684 and it sounds very good already.
Btw, for whatever it's worth, you might be interested to know that reviewers use Onkyo 805 with B&W 685 http://www.hometheatermag.com/receivers/208bwonk/index.html (http://www.hometheatermag.com/receivers/208bwonk/index.html) and Onkyo 875+power amps http://www.ultimateavmag.com/speakersystems/108bw/index4.html (http://www.ultimateavmag.com/speakersystems/108bw/index4.html) with B&W 683. Again, audition to hear if there is any improvement to your ears and if the improvement is worth the added costs. Good luck!

EXCLUSIVE REVIEW: Onkyo TX-SR606 builds on Award-winning success Andrew Everard 03 May 2008 07:00
Well, we did promise to put our test of the brand-new Onkyo TX-SR606 receiver up on line just as soon as we could - so here, after two days and three nights of listening, is what we think.
Onkyo TX-SR606
Surround sound receiver
£400
5 stars
(http://whathifi.com/csfiles/blogs/home-cinema/Onkyo%20TX-SR606%20scaled-1.jpg)
For All the ability of the TX-SR605, plus much more flexibility
Against Still not the most musical receiver; styling still a matter of taste
Verdict Take an Award-winning bargain, bolt on lots more features without affecting the sound, and keep the price the same: the ‘606 is a steal'
The term ‘eagerly awaited’ is so overused in hi-fi circles these days as to be all but meaningless. Every new pair of speakers, amplifier or – dare we say it – mains cable gets hyped up with claims of anticipation which would do justice to the Second Coming, and if you believed the PR people, you’d imaging people queuing around the block to grab the first units into the shops.
But since news broke of the impending arrival of the Onkyo TX-SR606, the replacement for last year’s What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision Award-winning – and best-selling – TX-SR605, it seems people have been tying themselves in knots searching websites for the smallest nugget of information.
What’s more, they’ve been seeking out retailers willing to take their hard-earned plastic to secure one as soon as possible, and keeping the website Forums abuzz with discussions of where they can find one.
(http://whathifi.com/csfiles/blogs/home-cinema/Onkyo%20TX-SR606%20back%20scaled.jpg)
Risky business
That looked to us like a risky business. After all, this wouldn’t be the first time a manufacturer had replaced a cracking product with a so-so successor. And all the fuss being made seems to have taken Onkyo somewhat by surprise; the people at the UK office just couldn’t believe why we were so eager to get hold of a sample and test it as soon as possible.
Well, the long and the short of it is that the product we’re reviewing here was bought, with our own money, from a friendly local retailer.
Anyway, enough of the back-story – the ‘606 is here, and first impressions are that it looks just like the ‘605, which won’t please those who find the Onkyo aesthetic somewhat challenging. Or ‘pig-ugly’, as they usually put it.
The new stuff is almost all hidden under the skin, but the obvious changes are the four HDMI 1.3a inputs on the newcomer, against the two HDMI sockets on the old model, and a much more ergonomic remote control in place of the somewhat ‘bricky’ old one.
The receiver also now does RIHD – remote control via the HDMI link –, with Onkyo claiming compatibility with Panasonic’s Viera Link, Toshiba’s RegzaLink and selected Sharp Aquos Link products. That means the remote can, in theory at least, drive an entire system via HDMI links; it also has a preprogrammed remote, able to control a large range of other components.
All of that should make the new model easier to use and more flexible, especially in a world where there are increasing numbers of products with HDMI outputs, all needing to be switched and fed to a TV or projector. And Onkyo could probably have left the revamped model at that, kept the price at £400, and still had a top-seller – after all, sales of the TX-SR605 showed no signs of flagging.
The good news is that the engineers haven’t left well alone – for those obsessed with specification, they’ve thrown a whole load more new ‘stuff’ onto the product. And for those of us looking for genuinely useful features, there’s still plenty to appeal.
(http://www.areadvd.de/images/2008/onkyo_tx_sr606_inside_endstufen.jpg)
Same power
The simplest thing would be a bit more power, always attractive for those who like to play the numbers game. OK, so you take the power figures on products like this with a pinch of salt, as they’re usually quoted in the most flattering way possible, but the new model in fact delivers exactly the same output as the old one: it’s claimed at 7x140W, but actually delivers something like 90W all round when the figures are quoted against meaningful parameters of frequency response, impedance and distortion.
And like the TX-SR605, the new model can also be switched, when in a 5.1-channel system, to biamp suitable speakers on the front left and right channels; this is done by reassigning the rear surround channel amps.
There’s still the Onkyo Wide-Range Amplifier Technology, a feature of the company’s products for many years, and Audyssey 2EQ automatic set-up and calibration, meaning you need only plug in a microphone and press a button to have the receiver run a set of test-tones and adjust speaker delay and level to suit your room and speaker positioning.
(http://www.areadvd.de/images/2008/onkyo_tx_sr606_autosetup2.jpg)
Better sound at low levels
What’s new in the improved version of 2EQ found here, however, is another bit of Audyssey technology, Dynamic EQ: this adjusts the equalisation, and thus the frequency response, and the surround level, so you get more convincing results when playing the system at low levels without having to set the rear channels so high that they’re obtrusive when playing much louder.
Also added on the audio side is a new Music Optimiser, designed to make more of compressed music played into the receiver from an MP3 player, or from an iPod via Onkyo’s DS-A1x or DS-A2x docks. This works by enhancing the higher frequencies usually lost in compression, thus giving a more open balance.
As with the TX-SR605, the new arrival is able to receive and decode all the current surround sound formats, including the HD flavours of DTS and Dolby Digital, as well as accepting LPCM from players unable to output native bitstreams, and DSD should you have an SACD player able to output this (such as the PS3 or Oppo’s DV-980H).
But the main event on the new receiver is the introduction of video upscaling, even though the specification freaks will moan that it's only to 720p/1080i. The receiver will pass a 1080p signal, for example from Blu-ray players and the like, though ‘as is’, but will also upconvert and upscale lesser formats and resolutions.
The big question, though, is how the Onkyo performs. Has adding on all this functionality while maintaining the price had an impact on the sound quality? Is the video upscaling and upconverting capability worth having, or just a marketing feature? Or has Onkyo turned what was a serious home cinema bargain into an absolute steal?
Well, the simple answer is that, for all the extra ‘stuff’, the new Onkyo sounds every bit as good as the old one. In fact, it sounds identical, as you might expect given that the specification of the amplification section is the same.
(http://www.areadvd.de/images/2008/onkyo_tx_sr606_remote1.jpg)
Powerhouse receiver
And that’s good news all the way down the line, meaning that the TX-SR606 is a real powerhouse of a receiver for the money, capable of slamming out everything from the airport chase sequence in Casino Royale to the bombardment in Letters from Iwo Jima with real room-shaking thump, provided your speakers can hack it. At the same time it has all the openness and finesse required to make even small effects clear, and sometimes startling, and keep dialogue crystal clear.
There’s never the sense of everything being thrown at you that’s sometimes apparent with lesser receivers; instead, the Onkyo manages to combine an enveloping soundfield with superb effects steering and plenty of bite.
And that Dynamic EQ works superbly, too: it's totally unobtrusive when you're playing the receiver at serious volume levels, but when you back off a bit there's none of that diminution of excitement or sense of envelopment. The system is subtle, but very definitely effective - and much better than those often crude 'midnight' modes you find on many receivers.
If there’s a ‘but’, it’s that this isn't the most musical amplifier you can buy, with a slightly brash and bright presentation across a range of musical style. But then that’s par for the course for AV receivers at this level, and was certainly true of the TX-SR605, too, so it’s no real cause for criticism.
If you want a receiver that’ll mainly be used for watching Blu-rays, DVDs or TV, or hooking up to a games console, the 606 will serve you every bit as well as the did the 605, while still being perfectly respectable for the occasional blast of music.
(http://www.areadvd.de/images/2008/onkyo_tx_sr606_hdmi_settings4.jpg)
Useful scaler
The scaler is a worthwhile addition for those without an exclusive diet of Blu-ray discs and Sky HD: it’s not as good as the amazing Reon HQV system in the TX-SR875, which after all costs 150% more, but it is more than adequate when it comes to upscaling standard definition TV broadcasts and DVDs for viewing on a plasma or LCD screen.
We found it works extremely well with standard definition video, such as that from DVD – it won’t fool you you’re watching ‘proper’ HD material, but it does process the signal without any obvious signs of all the adding up, taking away and multiplying by your birthday that'’s going on under the hood.
We really pushed it to the limits by running a Blu-ray player down to 480p and feeding it in through the Onkyo’s component video inputs; while the results would never fool anyone they were watching full 1080p, the picture is pretty respectable, even when run onto our huge main viewing screen via a top-notch projector.
So, the sum-up is this: if you were expecting us to say that the new Onkyo receiver is better in every way, you’re going to be disappointed. If, however, you’re happy with the fact that it sounds every bit as good as the model it replaces, and has added functionality and flexibility, then you’ll understand why we say that the TX-SR606 is an even better buy than its Award-winning predecessor.

Hello guys,
I'm setting up my ht and I'm thinking of upgrading my 6 year old yamaha avr to one that supports hdmi, truehd and all the stuff I'm currently unfamiliar with. will this take full advantage of the panasonic bd55/35's audio features? I was just planning to connect it via optical.
can anyone explain in layman's terms what a 350+ usd amp like the onkyo 606 can't do that a 1k ++ avr (876) can? thanks.
which shop carries onkyo? thanks.
The 876 has:
1. better video processing power
2. better audio (more power)
3. better flexibility (pre-outs)
It's good to aim for the best, but it is more better to know your priorities. You don't want to pay for the extra bells and whistles that you won't use anytme soon.
Hope this helps.
-
thanks for the reply sir, problem is mahirap mag audition ng ganyan dito ??? huhu
Oo nga e.. kakaunti lang at bihira stocks ng higher end receivers dito. Try to coordinate with AV stores that have demo units of B&W in store like SGT. From time to time, they have new stocks of Onkyo 805/875. So timing lang. Good luck!
-
Dear Onkyo TX-SR606 Owners:
Please share your experience with this remarkable receiver.
-
who carries the 876 here in the philippines and how much does it go for? thanks
-
This is my first integrated receiver (previously had 3 stereos connected to 5.1 channel outputs of my generic dvd player. The power is more than adequate for my bedroom. Though not a true blue audiophile here is my experience.
For music, i fall asleep when listening to Susan Wong at pretty loud volume. Watching movies keeps me awake and smiling knowing i made the right choice. Price wise and Quality wise. Considered a higher model w/ preouts but the price difference is too much for me, and that may probably lead me to buying other gears(tubes, et. al) and never be content with what i already have. :)
-
i used the onkyo with my old Z-5500 speakers, using the sub connected to the amps' pre-out, and I must say, the sound is a revelation! after having calibrated the amp using the included calibration mic, i tested blu-ray movies on a ps3 connected via HDMI on the speakers, and it sounded like I bought a whole new speaker system...
Of course, some of this may be attributed to the fact that I was using ps3 direct to amp via HDMI--- previously I had used an HTPC and analog outputs of my soundcard directly to the Logitech Z-5500's mini-amp. But wow, the audible difference between the two was unbelievable... the sound was enveloping and bombastic, and directional effects panned well and were discernible.
I can only imagine how much better the amp will sound when it is receiving bitstreamed soundtracks, doing the lossless decoding of dts-hd ma and dolby true-hd by itself... will post here when i get my hands on a blu-ray player to do this...
-
Guys, i just got an onkyo 606 but am still running on my old Logitech Z-5500 satellites...
I'm planning to upgrade to proper home theater speakers, but my room is only a small studio apartment and I've read that the onkyo 606 has some power limitations.
What are the specs I should be looking for in speakers for the onkyo 606, given that it's being set up in a medium/small home theater?

Introduction
Time was, a receiver was simply that, a hub which received the signals from a variety of audio sources, amplified them and enabled them to share a single set of speakers. The advent of home theater brought with it a need for video inputs as well, particularly as source components evolved from VCR to laserdisc to DVD to Blu-ray. New and competing audio formats have cropped up as well, to the point where the A/V receiver is now more akin to a Swiss Army knife, a complex gadget called upon to tackle a myriad of entertainment challenges.
This is most assuredly the era of high-definition, and now many people are buying into Blu-ray only to find that their old receivers aren't quite up to the task. Onkyo had met the demand for an affordable, versatile home theater receiver with last year's TX-SR605, a truly impressive offering for the modern age, with HDMI switching and the latest audio codecs. And after listening to consumer and industry feedback, they have addressed the 605's few limitations to make its successor even better, resulting in the killer TX-SR606.
Design and Features
I performed my review on the silver-chassis version and, once my infatuation with its looks wore off, I set about connecting all of my components to the well-designed rear panel. More than enough inputs awaited me: five composite video and four S-video with shared analog stereo, in addition to two component video inputs, assignable to any of the two digital optical and two digital coaxial audio inputs. What really got my juices flowing were the four HDMI inputs, up from the 605's two. HDMI-switching receivers such as these use what's known as an HDMI repeater, which essentially regenerates the audio/video signal sent by the component over the original HDMI connection before passing it out again over another cable, to the HDTV.
The TX-SR606 passes a full 1080p signal (1080 lines, progressive scan, the best that HD currently has to offer) and is HDMI 1.3a-compliant. The higher bandwidth of 1.3a means that it accepts the raw digital bitstreams of the high-resolution Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio formats, in addition to supporting up to 48-bit color depth (the current standard is 24-bit) and potentially higher frame rates. So right away we know that the TX-SR606 is a good investment today, and one that will provide headroom for the future of consumer electronics as the quality continues to improve. Onkyo has also added Remote Interactive over HDMI (RIHD), their own proprietary spin on the more common Consumer Electronics Control (CEC), to better allow the operation of multiple connected HDMI devices from different manufacturers with a single remote.
Pumping out a solid 90 watts for each of its seven channels (left, right and center front, left and right side surround plus left and right rear surround), the TX-SR606 accepts spade, banana, and bare wire speaker wire terminations. A sub pre-out also passes the dedicated low-frequency directly to a powered subwoofer. In a keen bit of rear-panel economy, the back surround speaker terminals can be repurposed to bi-amplify the left and right mains, if you have fancier front loudspeakers and no rears. Additional push-terminal speaker hookups are provided for a powered stereo Zone 2, for remote listening in a different room, even from an alternate source, should you want a movie in the home theater and music up in the kitchen at the same time, if that's your pleasure.
AM and FM antennas are in the box, and the receiver provides a total of 40 station presets. The TX-SR606 is also Sirius-ready, meaning that if you are a subscriber with your own SiriusConnect Home tuner and antenna, you can plug into the eight-pin jack and enjoy satellite radio through your home theater, quickly and easily. As this is also the MP3 age, Onkyo has added a Music Optimizer circuit, a generally successful effort to restore some of the sound quality and visceral impact lost when songs are compressed down to small digital files. To this end, Onkyo is also selling the optional DS-A2X Remote Interactive iPod Dock ($109).
(http://reviews.digitaltrends.com/images/full_reviews/onkyo/tx-sr606/606-front-big.jpg)
Testing and Use
I was able to perform all basic setup and tests using just the simple blue LED readout on the face of the unit and the clean, ergonomic remote control. The same information can also be displayed bigger and brighter on the screen of a connected TV. Also here is Audyssey 2EQ, a smart room calibrator that automatically determines the number, size, and crossover settings of the connected speakers, to work best with the subwoofer (if you're using one) and factor in room size and listening position. If you can plug in a cable--the jack is on the front panel, people!--and move the small microphone thrice to different spots on your couch, and press a single button as many times, you can do this. It's pretty empowering to custom-configure your own home theater in less than the ten minutes estimated in the manual. Audyssey 2EQ also plays well with the newly added Audyssey Dynamic EQ algorithm, which provides real-time loudness correction to compensate for a variety of sonic anomalies in your home theater. When it's engaged, you'll probably never know what you're missing, and that's a good thing, as it results in truer, more natural sound.
Stereo music CD's via the TX-SR606 were as clean and lifelike as I've ever heard within my walls, but of course the most revealing performance tests would be done with Blu-ray's Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio soundtracks. Touted as "lossless," these formats can be bit-for-bit identical to the original master recordings created by the studios. The receiver automatically detects whichever sound format we choose on a disc and decodes accordingly.
So much of what I was hearing was what I was not hearing: After more than a decade of DVD watching, my principle complaints remain frequently muffled dialogue and the occasional distortion of high frequencies. Across a slew of demo discs, these problems not only disappeared, but I experienced a revelation akin to my first discrete Dolby Digital 5.1 review: I thought I knew what a great cinematic surround environment was supposed to sound like, but now the effortless reproduction of all channels and their blend into a seamless whole, combined with the abundance of organic detail, brought me closer to the movies than ever before.
Of course it also supports the best that DVD has to offer, including Dolby Digital EX 5.1 and DTS-ES 6.1. While a variety of after-the-fact processing modes is provided (Orchestra, Unplugged, Studio-Mix, etc.), each represents another step away from the creators' original intent, and so they should be used with discretion. The 90 available watts per channel are more than enough to fill a medium-to-large home theater without introducing distortion.
We live in a world of multiple, disparate video sources, and one of the most attractive features of the TX-SR606 is its ability not only to switch between its different inputs and use a single output to the TV (my display ran out of inputs years ago) but what it does with all of those signals. The onboard Faroudja Directional Correlational Deinterlacing (DCDi) chip turns standard 480i video content into smoother, more pleasing 480p. Popping in an old Faroudja/Sage DCDi demonstration disc, I found the effect is most pronounced on "jaggies," those stair-step edges on difficult-to-reproduce diagonal lines, and it can be a real boon here to all of your standard-quality source material, particularly if your DVD player does not offer its own progressive scan output.
(http://reviews.digitaltrends.com/images/full_reviews/onkyo/tx-sr606/606-back-big.jpg)
New for this model is 1080i upscaling on all analog signals, even measly 480i composite. It's not quite the blessing that is sounds like, as it cannot magically turn your standard-def video into perfectly believable HD. It can pull heretofore unseen detail from movies and TV, but it can also introduce new artifacting, a digital haze that some viewers might find unpleasant. This is a feature you will want to experiment with, to see firsthand if the good outweighs the bad, but kudos to Onkyo for including the option.
Conclusion
While the $579 price tag qualifies this product as "mid-range" and not "entry level" in the grand scheme of receivers, such value in an HDMI-switching Dolby TrueHD/DTS-HD Master Audio all-in-one is hard, maybe impossible to match. For me, the two extra HDMI outputs alone make this receiver worth the increase from the previous generation's $499. The additional refinements of the Music Optimizer, 1080i upscaling and Audyssey Dynamic EQ loudness compensation are delicious gravy.
So you have your HDTV, your Blu-ray player, and a bunch of speakers: Everything you need to complete the home theater experience is right here. Well-featured, reasonably priced, and high-performance, the Onkyo TX-SR606 AV receiver is a sound investment.
Well-featured, reasonably priced, and high-performance, the Onkyo TX-SR606 AV receiver is a sound investment.
Highs: Supports latest high-def audio formats; plenty of power; generous inputs; good value
Lows: 1080i upscaling could be better; remote lacks a backlight

Guys, i just got an onkyo 606 but am still running on my old Logitech Z-5500 satellites...
I'm planning to upgrade to proper home theater speakers, but my room is only a small studio apartment and I've read that the onkyo 606 has some power limitations.
What are the specs I should be looking for in speakers for the onkyo 606, given that it's being set up in a medium/small home theater?
Get 6-ohm or 8-ohm impedance speakers, that's pretty much it. Do not match the wattage ratings of the speakers to the receiver. You'll barely use up the full wattage rating of the receiver unless you go really loud to reference levels.
Some brands to look at are the following:
Infinity
Polk Audio
JBL
Yamaha
Mission
Wharfedale
Monitor Audio

Onkyo works well with wharfedale than denon-wharfedale combi. I used to own a Denon 1604 powering my wharfedale diamond 8s but Denon is wanting in music department. I now use Onkyo 601 and my wharfedales sing very well both in HT and music. (but it's just my experience though. your ears will be the better judge) ;)

help, where to buy 876? and how much? thank you
-
I asked around and 71400 is the common answer. I think all stores are part of a cartel or something. hehe. I got mine for 71k from Listening in Style.
You'll love it, I'm sure. I love how you can specify different output resolutions/upscaling for each input/source. Audessy is great too. Instant calibration:)

Sirs,
I need help.
I got an 805 and when I was setting up the AM presetting, I found out that the frequency is in the interval of 10 instead of 9.
I checked the manual and it says that some model can be set to either 10 or 9 interval. But I tried on my unit and it wont.
Any suggestion? ???
Thanks

Mga sirs, anung ma recommend niyo na setting ng speakers? Audessy set mine to 120hz lahat.

long time absentee on pinoydvd, just managed to put my old gears in storage for a couple of years back together again, with a few new members to the family :)
was wondering if any onkyo user was using the optical out on their receiver? am trying to hook up a 5.1 headphone set that has its own decoder to the 876 so I can use it for late night xbox gaming, but seems to be no signal from the receiver. xbox is connected to the receiver via hdmi. do i have to turn on the optical out somehow? my impression was that it was on all the time. or will the 876 only output signal to its optical out if input is via optical too? only reference in the manual to the optical out seemed to suggest this but wasn't clear.
i wouldn't mind connecting to the xbox directly but micro$oft made the connectors in such a way that it's impossible to plug in the optical cable when an hdmi cable is connected ???
either way, happy to be back!

Initially, Audessy in my 606 set my speakers to 100hz. Then i made my customized settings: 80hz for all speakers. With the Audessy eq still on; bass/treble-flat. Then I used my Radioshack spl meter to recalibrate the speakers. Sounds good to me. ;)

My suggestions:
If you want to change the crossovers set by Audyssey, there is no problem to raise them but it is not good to lower them. Below the recommended point, there are no Audyssey filters so the sound will not be great.
There is a lot of experience to show that the levels set by Audyssey are more accurate than the Radioshack meter, especially for the subwoofer. Unless there was some noise during the Audyssey calibration (in which case it is best to re-run Audyssey), I suggest you leave the levels as recommended.
The appropriate tweak to try out after running Audyssey is to change the setting for speakers designated as Full-range. Apply a crossover instead. This is almost always the best setting. Also set the sub to 120 hz (that is actually the LPF for the LFE channel).

Patulong naman po. Saan pwede ipagawa yong old Onkyo receiver ko. Matagal-tagal na rin ko syang nabili, di ko na matandaan. Problem is hindi na nya na-sa-save ang settings, tapos yong buttons for 'DVD', 'VIDEO 1', etc.. minsan nagkakapalit-palit. Like if you press V1, V3 and nadi-display. I tried putting up with it kasi nakukuha naman sa tiyagaan ng pag press repeatedly ng function and setting up again everytime na i-power up sya. Functions fine pa naman overall, except sometimes nawawalan sound yong right front speaker intially, then after a while nagkakaroon - baka grounded konti(?).
Another problem is the remote, hindi na sya functional - tagal na kasi tapos minsan nahuhulog-hulog. May replacement remotes ba ang Onkyo or would a Universal remote work on it?
Kindly suggest a trusted service center or a DIY approach if any. Thanks!

mga bro patulong naman....
recently acquired an Onkyo 876....but I have a problem with the HDMI....my 876 doesnt accept any input in its HDMI..... maybe theres any secret on how to solve this?
actually this is the 2nd brand new unit that I have. The first unit also came with this problem and I thought that it is defective....My distributor happily give me a new replacement....but this unit also doesnt accept any HDMI inputs so I thought maybe I am doing something wrong in here....
HEELLLPPPPP!!!! ??? ???
-
how much ang ngayon dito sa atin ang:
onkyo 606 and onkyo 706?
-
Could it be a defective HDMI cable? ;)

tama! might be your hdmi cable. it's good to have reliable spare cable handy.

i think you can get a 606 between 26-28k and a 706 from 43-46k.
-

nope.....now I have 4 brand new HDMI cables....hindi defective.....tinesting ko na lahat yung apat direct from dvd player to TV and walang problema....pero once na kinabit ko na sa 876 ayaw na.....
I've followed the instructions on the manual.... I think this is a handshake issue...pano kaya ito i-solve?
I've never had any problems like this in my previous Denons.....
-

thanks for the info sir :)
-
what do you mean your 876 doesn't accept hdmi inputs? have you set it up properly? maybe you didn't assign the hdmi inputs to the video component in the setup menu? ex: hdmi1 - dvd. the 876 also has 2 hdmi outs, baka nakabit sa sub instead of main?

Defective hdmi cables usually cause handshake issue. Have you checked on the osd if the "HDMI MONITOR" is turned to "YES"?

already done this.....I am not new to this kind of thing....although I am a Denon user since 1996 and a Pioneer user since childhood.... :)
This is my first Onkyo Receiver....I still have an Onkyo Audio Setup at my bedroom which I have since 1998
Monitor Out at HDMI Main....
HDMI In-1 at DVD....
Digital In at HDMI In-1....etc....
Now I can use my DVD using component cable and a Coax.....which is quite frustrating since the reason I bought this receiver is because of its 4-HDMI out....and its video calibration capabilities
I think its time to call the Onkyo technical staff
-

cables are fine....I have 4 new HDMI cables....tested it direct from DVD player to TV....even tested these cables in my friend's setup and it works fine.....I even borrow his Accuracy HDMI cables to test it with my setup but it doesnt work in my setup....
HDMI monitor turned to 'YES'? where can I find this bro?
right now, my monitor out is okay....it is set to HDMI Main and I can watch my Cable TV and DVD using Component cable and Coax as digital input to my receiver, all output to monitor is through HDMI Main....
ang nangyayari eh pag binuhay ko na yung dvd player lalabas sandali yung opening menu ng dvdp tapos mapuputol na....tapos parang di na makapag-konek silang dalawa....
tnx for the reply....I still cannot solve this 'handshake' issue....
-
I assume we both have the same remote. Mine is 875. From the remote press "SETUP" then from osd, select "Input/out assign" then "HDMI monitor" - select "yes" :)
-

the interface is different then....but already done that....there are 2 HDMI output in 876.....I've set mine into HDMI-Main....
Output through HDMI is working....I've already tried inputs from S-Video and Component and the 876 will upscale it and send out the signal through HDMI....
The input using HDMI is the one that is not working now.... :(
any more help guys?? :(

Have you assigned the hdmi input devices? You have to do that manually.
-
maybe it is a handshake issue. have you tried using a different hdmi source? what dvd player are you using?
-
or baka yung dvd player settings ang may mali. try experimenting w/ the different output resolutions.
-

The safest is "AUTO". You should try this one too 5speed. This might be your problem. :)
-
Danrd, yup I already done the HDMI assignment manually, even try to use the different inputs like DVR/VCR, CD, etc as inputs...and use the DVD as its source.....still the same result....
ET414, I've already borrowed my friends Denon DVD Player and his HDMI cables.....and still all it does is briefly shows the opening wallpaper and it will start to blink and then blue screen....
and yes bro....I already tried the AUTO mode of my DVD player.....maybe I need to try to use the lowest setting of my DVD player (480P)....
nothing works for now.....I am becoming dissapointed with this Onkyo.....:(
-
nothing works for now.....I am becoming dissapointed with this Onkyo.....Sad
Patience brother. I feel the same as you when I first got my 705. Medyo ma-kalikot lang talaga 875/6. But the rewards are awsome.
nd yes bro....I already tried the AUTO mode of my DVD player.....maybe I need to try to use the lowest setting of my DVD player (480P)....
I meant set "Auto" on the "Resolution" of your 876. Try it. I feel this is your problem. :)
-
Danrd,
done this bro....still the same problem.... :(
well kalikutin ko na lang siguro ulit....baka matsambahan.... ::)

Thats wierd, I thought you just didnt read the manual like a typical male :D. But turns out your problem is legit. I couldnt see how it still doesnt work after those settings. And 2 units to boot!
I will whisper to my 876 tonight and ask for the secret code. ;D

My suggestions:
If you want to change the crossovers set by Audyssey, there is no problem to raise them but it is not good to lower them. Below the recommended point, there are no Audyssey filters so the sound will not be great.
There is a lot of experience to show that the levels set by Audyssey are more accurate than the Radioshack meter, especially for the subwoofer. Unless there was some noise during the Audyssey calibration (in which case it is best to re-run Audyssey), I suggest you leave the levels as recommended.
The appropriate tweak to try out after running Audyssey is to change the setting for speakers designated as Full-range. Apply a crossover instead. This is almost always the best setting. Also set the sub to 120 hz (that is actually the LPF for the LFE channel).
wl try your suggestion bro streetsmart! thanks! :)

Hello guys,
I bought a onkyo tx-sr706 recently. My problem is that it can not detect dolby true hd and dts-hd ma. I am using sony bluray player bdp-s300 and has an updated firmware.
I use a ixos hdmi cable but not sure if it is 1.3 version. Does the cable version have something to do with it?
Please help. Thank you.

hdmi cable should be atleast 1.3a. but just some question, did you set your sony bluray to bitstream the signal to the 706. because before the 706 will do the hidef audio decoding it should get the bitstream of the audio signal, if the players audio ouput is set to lpcm, then what you will see in your 706 is multichannel. :)
-
Hi iiinas,
I tried using the high-end hdmi cable with the brand name Kimble Kable with high speed 1.3v and still the same.
Yes i have set the blu-ray player to bitstream it to the 706 and still the same. Maybe i have to try other brand of blu-ray player.
thank you for replying.

Hi all!
I have an Onkyo 494.
Yesterday, the remote sensor suddenly stopped working. So now, neither the Onkyo remote, nor my Harmony 525 works with it. It's not a battery thing, have replaced the batteries of the Onkyo remote with new ones. Tapos the Harmony works with all other equipment (TV, dvd, WD).
The only thing new to my set-up is the WD. Di kaya pareho sila ng range or something? But shouldn't the consequence be that both will turn on at the same time etc? Very strange. ???
Anyone ever experienced the same thing?
-

after trying my blu-ray player to other brand of avr, still it can not detect it. My sony bdp-s300 is the problem.
You are right. I have to set the audio setting to pcm and the onkyo will display multichannel. Maybe that is the best i could do than to buy another bluray player just to decode true hd and dts-hd.

i hope our friends with contacts in the us (ebay) will be able to bring in the 607 at friendly prices

120Vx5.5A = 660VA (or approx. 500W). di kaya medyo kapos ito for a 7.2 system?

mukhang di masyado enthusiastic ang reaction sa new models na ito, kulang pa kaya sa features?

Onkyo receivers MSRP has increased in the US significantly... I think this can be attributed to the "law of supply & demand". Because of recession, US distributors anticipated a slowdown in consumer spending kaya konti lang imports nila.. Would you imagine an Onkyo 806 before sold at $600+ went up as high as $1000+.. Kaya swerte ang umabot sa landed price na P36k sa paborito nating lahat sa seller dito... ;D sayang nga lang at hindi ako umabot... ;D

pa delete na lng mods if OT, nasira ang avr ko walang display, pero may power, anyone can help me? tnx

Hi guys! Maybe you can help me regarding my Onkyo TX-SR705. It's been with me for more than a year now, 1 1/2 years to the exact. Lately it's been acting up. It turns off as soon as it's turned on.
Reading the manual, it said that the amp protection has been activated. I followed the instruction by disconnecting the power cord, speaker cables and input sources and so on...I noticed that the amp turns on whenever the speaker cables are not connected but once i connect the speaker cables it shuts down again.
What seems to be the problem? Could it be that the onkyo 705 is having a difficult time driving my set of B&W speakers? (B&W 683 fronts, HTM61 center, 686 rear, ASW650 subs) or there is something wrong with the amp itself or connections? Do I need to upgrade my amp? Anybody? Thanks!

or a grounded connection or speaker that triggers the protection sir,...
-
try disconnecting all the speaker wires then turn it on, if the problem persists there's something wrong with the AVR so have it checked. Pag nawala, then as ABCmotorparts mentioned there's a shorting of wires in your speakers.
-
The Amplifier works normally when speaker cables are disconnected but when i connect them back on thats when the amp protection activates. So it must be the wires then...my question now is what causes the wires to short? By the way, i'm using banana plugs.
-
O diba naka 875 ka na? Palit ulet? ;)
just saw your post... scouting lang... but i'hv decided to try the new denon models naman... maybe yamaha... bahala na sa october...

Hi sir,
If you have a separate pair of speakers that you can test, it would really tone down the problem between the amp/receiver and the speaker/connection, in some cases impedance problem can also trigger the protection of the receiver.
Good luck sir, let us know what happens...

It happened to my avr TXDS838 (Auto Protect), and have it checked by the staff of Pioneer/BW/Onkyo at West Ave., and found out that they need to replace some IC's and resistor, cost was Php 5.5k, that was 3yrs ago, And now the problem is, no display image on LCD, but power is in "ON". Weird is, it wasnt used for a long time, and now that problem occur when I switched it on.

Then most likely meron ngang shorted na wires. You may need to do some isolation to find out which wire or pair of wire/s are causing the short. Are you connecting all the speakers back at the same time? Try connecting one at a time to isolate which ones causing the short.
Ganda pa naman receiver mo saka speaker. hehehe ;)

but isn't it that the difference between this and the 607 eh mga 4k lang? i guess that additional outlay is worth it.

mga sir,
onkyo507 is the most affordable avr to feature hd codecs, w o w, galing naman
sars?!
-
but isn't it that the difference between this and the 607 eh mga 4k lang? i guess that additional outlay is worth it.
you have a point ....
pero power consumption ... Onkyo 507 = 390Watts. Onkyo 607 = 540Watts ;D laki nun ah ..... and I dont turn the volume up so much naman .....
Pang BD video nalang yung 4K hahaha!
-
as master matzter likes to say... get the biggest power you can afford. :D
if the 4k difference is something you can stretch into, then go for it. even if the 507 may be 390W and the 607 540W (both max of course), if you like to listen at say a measured SPL of e.g. 50-60dB, then power consumption may be almost identical. what you get though is headroom for those really loud passages. as a rule of thumb also, a higher powered amp tends to be more musical than its lower spec'd sibling.
-
^^ ah ok :) oo nga pala hindi ito constant power consumption :P my bad ......
tsk ..,....... evil thoughts ;D
-
as a comparison, my h/k avr-5550 consumes 120W on idle (not standby. just powered on with no sound) and 1040W max. :o when on idle, para akong me nakabukas na bumbilya and when delivering loads of sound, para akong nagpa-plantsa. ::) :D
-
but isn't it that the difference between this and the 607 eh mga 4k lang? i guess that additional outlay is worth it.

Hi guys,
newbie here.
Just got a pre-owned Onkyo 7.1 receiver that can decode the following:
DTS, DTS 96/24™, DTS-ES® Discrete/Matrix, DTS Neo:6®
Dolby® Digital, Dolby® Digital EX, Dolby® Pro Logic® IIx
i will pair it to my bd player (samsung 1500).
since it can't decode true hd, dts-hd, how can i maximize it?
when im watching bd's?
tia.

Set your BD player to internally decode HD audio and send signal as LPCM to the onkyo

The TX-SR307 would be alright as long as you only need basic features. If you don't know if you're going to delve deep into HT yet, then this is fine. Kumbaga parang evaluation phase... ;D
Hi all! I'm in a look out for a new AVR, can somebody post the updated price for Onkyo SR806 or SR876. Di pa kya ng powers ko equivalent x007 model :D kya old model na lang muna baka sakali bumaba na presyo...Thanks!
I think you can ask the local stores (SnS, TW, etc) for updated prices but I think it'll still be cheaper if you're willing to import from the US via anya618 or TOY 01. Yun nga lang walang warranty.
I'm interested in buying the Onkyo TX-SR807, does anyone know the if it's available locally and the best place to buy it?
I don't think that's available locally since it's a fairly new model. You'd probably still be finding the TX-SR806.
Btw it's called the TX-NR807. NR because of some network-capable features.

TX sr876 on sale here in saudi at P65,000. okay sana pag may kilala ka from here.
I bought mine last year with jamo C60 series and very good performance for both movies and music. I dont know how much price dyan sa pinas.
Go for sr876.....you wont regret it bro. :)
-
^ Bro...where ka sa saudi?
Bought my NOS TX-SR805 from aDawliah. Naka-sale nga mga 806 and 876, pero I still prefer the 805...kahit palabas na yung 807..he he he.
When I auditioned my 805 the other day...we use Jamos floor standers..did'nt liked it..too boomy for me..
Mas prefer ko pa yung MA RS1 ko..
-
Me naman im here in UAE..and sale din ang onkyo 876..and other onkyos amp... pero hindi pa ako bumibili kse hindi ko ma-dispose ung HK ko..:P
-
Hi sir keema, hope you don't mind me asking saan po kyo sa UAE? I'll be in Dubai around end of September, tanong ko lng po sana kung saan shop sale ang Onkyo? Sale din po kya sya sa malaking eletronics store (forgot the name) sa taas ng City Center? Thanks

If you are only visiting...you have to consider the weight of this things...could be around 25kgs...ma-excess baggage ka..
-
On a visit lang sir, but no worries sir DonT pasyalan ko lang iyong shop tutal andun na din ako. No plan to bring 1 home unless a lot cheaper price nya compare sa local store natin.
Para di OT, kelan kya magiging available sa philippine shore ang Model NRxxx7 ng ONKYO?

Dito ako sa Al karj... lapit lang sa Riyadh...
Try mo yung 805 mo with concert series 6 (may c809 din sa batha pero medyo mahal na...baka kubos na lang kainin ko heheheh)
...ok yung result... very satisfying :).
805 din sana kukunin ko noon pero binigyan pa ako ng special discount less SR400 pa..... :)kaya di na ako nakatangi.
Bro.... saan ka naman.....Riyadh din ba?
-
Dami palang members ng pdvd na nasa Saudi...mabuhay kyo mga sadiq! ex-saudi din po ako Riyadh.
Sori mga sir makisingit lang po, magtatanong lang bukas pa ba iyong shop sa ilalim ng telemoney building at iyong bagong building sa likod nito that sells Onkyo and Jamo? If i remember it right meron din high-end shop sa Shoala at Al-Akharia...mga dating tambayan ko between yr. 1998-2005. Sori sir kung OT.

Bro you can check VV and Sons in bur dubai or sa MOE or you can try sharaf DG+ (not sharaf DG only ) sa times square along Shk. Zayed road (after the 3rd interchange). They went on sale last May yata, nasa 3600Dhs (Php47000) ung onkyo 906 (demo unit sya but still with 1 year warranty). Or better yet wait for the Dubai Shopping Festival around January next year... some audio shops are giving up to 70% discount ;).

^ Ang mura naman ng 906 na yan!
@chanum
Jubail po ako. sometimes go to khobar as well...pasyal lang

Huwawww very tempting! Kahit wala akong planong bumili, baka magdalawang isip ako pag ganyan ang presyo...tatanggalin ko na lang laman ng 5.11 rush72 backpack ko at handcarry ko na yan ;D ;D ;D

Nope. have no idea sa price sa pinas.
Tyempuhan lang dito sa dubai. when I bought my speakers last year it was on sale for almost 70% discount. Its a tannoy eyris DC3 and DCC. I bought them from Thomsun electronics sa Wafi city here in dubai.

who owns here 607 then player ko Pana BD60
tanong ko lang kung paano pina display yong DTS True HD.. lagi kasing naka MultiCh pero dama ko difference when I play diff BD e.g PCM DTS Dolby Digital (TROY), DTS HD Master Audio (Band of Brothers) & DTS True HD (Spider Man)... pero naka display when I play them laging Multi Channel
iba talaga pag DTS True HD... as in buong buo yong explosion ng sub :)
teach me how to display the True HD in my 607.. baka kasi hindi pa True HD naririnig ko

set the digital output of your bd60 to bitstream. either way (lpcm or bitstream) you still get the same DTS-MA.

what is DTS MA?
na try ko na both PCM & Blistream in my BD60 but hindi nag display yong DTS TrueHD pero pag ni change pinaka maganda sound/audio output is Multi Channel.. by the way naka 5.1 setup lang po ako
-
as master matzter likes to say... get the biggest power you can afford. :D
if the 4k difference is something you can stretch into, then go for it. even if the 507 may be 390W and the 607 540W (both max of course), if you like to listen at say a measured SPL of e.g. 50-60dB, then power consumption may be almost identical. what you get though is headroom for those really loud passages. as a rule of thumb also, a higher powered amp tends to be more musical than its lower spec'd sibling.
Plus +101 :)

The correct term should be DTS-HD master audio & Dolby TrueHD. TrueHD was developed by Dolby not by Digital Theater System or DTS. ;D

hindi nga po na display yong DTS HD Madter Audio & Dolby TrueHD.. laging naka display Multi Channel

hindi nga po na display yong DTS HD Madter Audio & Dolby TrueHD.. laging naka display Multi Channel
this is a bot puzzling. can you discribe your connection from bd player to avr? hdmi cable lang ba?
-
hindi nga po na display yong DTS HD Madter Audio & Dolby TrueHD.. laging naka display Multi Channel
bro, curious lang ako what input (analog/digital input) ang nakalagay sa display ng onkyo when multichannel is displayed? also, in your hdmi setting sa bd60, anong resolution ang gamit mo?
btw, on a few cases, i get this as well between my onkyo and oppo. sometimes i had to reset my onkyo then it displays the correct format. try mo din unahin i-on ang bd60 then yung onkyo and see what happens.

ok na po na display ko na po.
my connection is purely HDMI.. :)

in DB60 I setup the Sound into Bitstream and turn "Off" the secondary Audio
pero na pansin ko lang.. pag PCM mas buo yong sound kahit yong AVR naka MultiCH yong display lalo na pag yong BD audio has TrueHD
bakit kaya?

mga fellow onkyo user. i own a 606 that i got less than 4 months ago from S and S. I am very happy with it as i used to own a 604 but sold it after around 8 months only to get the 606. I have been a member of pdvd recently lang and after going thorugh threads, buy and sell and all, it has affected my love for my 606 and somehow im telling my self im not happy with 606 anymore. Need your help in putting corrections to my m indset. should i just stick to my 606 and enjoy it? Im using diamond 9.1 9cs and 9dfs. i have a 9.5 but opted to use it sa NAD brothers ko.
Salamat po sa feedbacks in advance

There are definitely a lot of AVR's whose features and performance are much better than the 606 (for example, an 875 is pretty good). Aside from just researching online, what I would do is to try to see and hear a lot of systems and for that, the best is to go to the place of a fellow Pinoydvd member.
Once you've actually experienced the equipment you're interested in and you like it, you need to ask yourself if you can afford it and if it has value for money. If the answer is yes, go for it.

pero na pansin ko lang.. pag PCM mas buo yong sound kahit yong AVR naka MultiCH yong display lalo na pag yong BD audio has TrueHD
bakit kaya?
ah ok. but in theory, they are just the same. the reason why lpcm (multich) registered on your avr is because its the player (in this case, bd60) that is doing the decoding of the hd audio codec (whether it be dts-hd ma or truehd). by bitstreaming the information to the receiver, you allow the receiver to do the decoding instead of the player, hence either dts-hd ma or truehd will now register on your receiver. but as i said it should essentially sound the same.
although i did read somewhere that not all audio decoding chips are made the same, so it might be possible that your bd's chip is better at decoding than the chip found in your receiver, but from the forums that i have read this, it is really debatable. but as they say its your ears that is the final judge, if its the bd60 that is decoding the better sound then go for it. :)

Ok, the same with the oppo bdp, you have to turn off the secondary audio. Pero it was different with my experience naman, i did hear "better audio" when the onkyo was doing the decoding. But I think it was mostly the onkyo decoding made the sound louder not really better. Do you hear the same audio quality when you increase the volume on the onkyo?

That's good to hear bro. So its basically the same with the oppo bdp, you have to turn off the secondary audio. Pero with regards to the audio, it was different with my experience naman, i did hear "better audio" when the onkyo was doing the decoding. But I think it was mostly the onkyo decoding made the sound louder not really better. Do you hear the same audio quality when you increase the volume on the onkyo? Unless nga, the pana bd60 has better decoders than the onkyo 607.

parang otherway around po ata.. the DB60 player say.. if you use bitstream it will throw the HD Master, DTS or the TrueHD signal. if set into PCM the AVR will do the decoding
ayan.. parang ang gulo gulo na tuloy. pag bitstream gamit ko need ko pa increase ang volume.. pero ang pansin ko lang mas pronouce yong bitstream yon nga lang medyo mahina ang dating ng audio need to increase pa volume.
pero u have a point decoding processing between BD60 & Onkyo 607 for sure magkaiba.

Looks like you have been afflicted with a bug. :D, Have you considered checking out other speakers as well...When I first tried my MA RS1 side by side with the WF Dia 9.1, I was quitely suprised about the significant improvement. I used only a Onkyo TX-8522 with Pio 610 for the comparison.

stick with what you have bro., enjoy the movies and music. ;D
have you thought it over- why you wanna "upgrade" change gears? baka naeengganyo ka lang mga nababasa at nakikita mo dito? anong features na wala ang setup mo na sa tingin mo ay kailangan para mas ma-enjoy HT? (blu-ray o dvd dbd pa rin ba ang gamit mo? ) check out the market and take a break, think things over before plunging. o hindi na ba makapaghintay ng xmas sales? ;D ::)

sir onkyo606, may i know why you're doubting your 606 now? noob po ako and i've been going through a lot of threads here para magka-idea on what to buy as my first avr. i've seen some of your posts and you're a proud 606 owner (or used to be na). planning to get the 606 din kasi, and medyo natakot nyo po ako sa post nyo. hehehe. btw, if i may ask, how much was it then when you got it? thanks! :)

Dami palang members ng pdvd na nasa Saudi...mabuhay kyo mga sadiq! ex-saudi din po ako Riyadh.
Sori mga sir makisingit lang po, magtatanong lang bukas pa ba iyong shop sa ilalim ng telemoney building at iyong bagong building sa likod nito that sells Onkyo and Jamo? If i remember it right meron din high-end shop sa Shoala at Al-Akharia...mga dating tambayan ko between yr. 1998-2005. Sori sir kung OT.
Good day, Kabayans. Nice to read na marami pala kayo dito sa Saudi & GCC. I'm temporarily stationed in Batha, Riyadh until Dec 09.
It's my first time to post sa pinoyDVD after so many years. I was looking for reviews of the Onkyo AVRs and Jamo Concert speakers. Dropped by the aDawliah in Electron several days ago and was given a demo by the staff. Parang magka-kabsa na ko till December ;D
Best regards to all. Hope to see you and your setups soon. God bless.

ngayon lang poa koa nakabasa ulit sa mga sumagot sa aking post maraming salamat po censya na at di ko alam kung pano yung copy and paste yung post nyo tapos sagot ako sa ilalim.
i guess its a matter of going with the tide. I must admit the gallery affected my mindset but all is well now. im just enjoying posting because more than the reply, its the new friends i get to have that makes me happy. dun po sa natakot to get the onkyo 606, please dont be. the reason lang why im getting pickle minded is that i get to see set up with 875B or perhaps 906 and other higher m odel. these surely will dwarf3 my 606 but comparing my 32K 606 to a perhaps more than 70K higer model, im sure they would sound better.
if theres any value id like to keep with knowing folks here, i get to know there are so many cheap and sometimes free ways of tweaking and getting the most out of your set up. i made adjustment on how i placed my speakers, i boughta sabre stand for my 9.1, i set my sub crossover to 160 hz, i re oriented the placement and there it goes, everything sounded up so good as in it seems it has gotten better.
i woudl like to liken my affair with my onkyo 606 to a husband who got tempted to be looking at other pretty ladies and realized no one can be better than his wife. its all about enjoying what i currently have and thats whta doing now.
thanks a lot to those who have provided proper guidance and pointers to me.
kay sir ojofool, he has been at it with me, almost every night, we PM each other and so is john e. thye have both advised me strongly and told me, you have a very nice set up stick to it and enjoy unless you have money to spare.
i ask sir ojofool for a pic of his set up and showed me something like a coke in can and a speaker than i cant even visualize, that brought me to big realization, its always a matter of ejoying your set up
i dont know how it is but im giving plus 1 ba yun to everyone who responded to my post.
censya na po sa mga naguluhan sa akin.
-
;) bro another free tweak is to try to change the jumper cables of your 9.1, you can try experimenting with replacing them with good speaker cables and check for improvements. i changed my stock to a silver coated speaker wire.

Here's my non-expert advise in choosing a receiver.
Choose the model with more power as much as possible. If you have money to buy a brand new 607, why not look for an alternative like buying a pre-owned 805 at the same price. As per experience with receivers of different brands & models, lower-end models equipped w/ new technologies DOES NOT EQUATE the power of higher-end older models. Lets put it this way, I have this Denon 789/1909 that can internally decode lossless codecs, the quality of sound it produces cannot beat the Marantz SR6001, Denon 3806, Yamaha 1700, HK 347, Onkyo 804 & the non-HDMI HK 635. Though negligible difference vs. the Denon 887. It is good to see the receiver displaying " Dolby TruHD, DTS MA" whenever you play lossless codecs but thats just it. Of course it's totally different story if you have the extra money to buy high-end new models like the Denon 3310, Onkyo 876. Please note that I am not giving this advise because i have receivers for sale at the marketplace. You can look around, visit reputable distributors here in the Philippines and ask (better if you compare side-by side)for older but higher end models. Iwasan na ang SARS ngayong 2010, Iba na ang usong sakit ngayon.

As per experience with receivers of different brands & models, lower-end models equipped w/ new technologies DOES NOT EQUATE the power of higher-end older models. Lets put it this way, I have this Denon 789/1909 that can internally decode lossless codecs, the quality of sound it produces cannot beat the Marantz SR6001, Denon 3806, Yamaha 1700, HK 347, Onkyo 804 & the non-HDMI HK 635. Though negligible difference vs. the Denon 887. It is good to see the receiver displaying " Dolby TruHD, DTS MA" whenever you play lossless codecs but thats just it. Of course it's totally different story if you have the extra money to buy high-end new models like the Denon 3310, Onkyo 876. Please note that I am not giving this advise because i have receivers for sale at the marketplace. You can look around, visit reputable distributors here in the Philippines and ask (better if you compare side-by side)for older but higher end models. Iwasan na ang SARS ngayong 2010, Iba na ang usong sakit ngayon.
bakit ngayon nyo lang po na share yong non-expert advice nyo po.. tuloy naka kuha na ako ng 607. Well so far tamang tama lang naman sa level ng pandinig ko ang 607 @35hz music & @ 48hz HT ;)

That's nice to hear... Iwasan mo lang mag-audition ng higher models pag happy ka na sa 607... Baka lang mahawaan ka ng SARS. ;D

i woudl like to liken my affair with my onkyo 606 to a husband who got tempted to be looking at other pretty ladies and realized no one can be better than his wife. its all about enjoying what i currently have and thats whta doing now.
look lang naman, no touch. (audition lang).
pero as sir streetsmart said, kung muslim ka pwede apat na asawa, basta parehas ang treatment mo sa lahat. (iba-ibang setup- pang ht, audio, pc)
the best, better stick to one....at a time (for now?)
enjoy! ;D

hi
im close to acquiring a onkyo 705 and while reading the specs yesterday i saw that it has a phono input
do any of you guys connect your turntable to your onkyo and how does it sound ?
-
the 606 stays in my room as of the moment, next thing i would do is apply the tweak that joh e advised me to do. i dont have 55K to get and 875 hahahahaha.
kaya tama ka sir ojo, stick to one.......... for now ;D
-
Onkyo 607 not bad ah, mura pa. ;)
-
hi mga sirs! :)
just want to ask anyone beside google about this amp that i've seen ...Onkyo TX-DS989..magandang receiver po ba toh? i know hindi sya future proof pero ano lang po sa tingin nyo mga sirs?
salamat po..:)
-
what's the best place to go so i can compare different onkyo receivers?
-
there are a lot who carries ONKYO. In PDVD you have DOM, Sights and Sounds, Theaterworks.
-
just waiting for my new receiver, ONKYO HT RC180
-
Ayos! haha
Do you plan on selling your 606 too?
-
definitely I will in fact nasa market place na sya ;D ;D ;D
-
Mahanap nga... :D
-
If I buy an Onkyo AVR from the states, will the local distro honor the warranty?

Most definitely not. I think they will service it though (if needed and with fees) but of course you have to remind them that it's 110v.

Question to all 606 user (or 605 and up), how do you set the fronts to small. I can't seem to find the option to change the fronts to small on the OSD, the only options I have is to change the cut off frequency. If there is no way to set it to small, what's the best cut off frequency without sacrificing the bass of the fronts and sub?
Thanks!
-
sir based on readings from the net and reviews and offcourse from pdvd ht gurus, best setting is at 80hz. you dont have small or large setting for onyo as onkyo is more flexible in adjusting the cross over, best to do is set all channels, fronts, rear and center to 80hz, if you have a sub, set the LFE setting to 120hz. hope this helps

Thanks!
"Large" and "Small" is a terminology that some manufacturers (like Denon) use. Onkyo doesn't use it. For the Onkyo AVR, the moment you select a crossover frequency, you have effectively set the speaker to "Small."
The correct crossover frequency depends on how low your satellite speakers can go and whether they are located close to walls (the closer to a wall, the deeper they go). 80 hz is good for most situations.

Hi Guys ako naka kuha na ng onkyo 607 sa LNS okay sya kaso hindi pwede yung samsung dvd player ko kasi may ksama speakers yun e. Hindi masetup. Kaya gamit ko yung old dvd player ko. Composite connectors tuloy. Hanap pa nga ako bluray player ngayon kahit panasonic bd60.

the 607 naman can upscale composite to 1080P di ba? try checking your manual kung video signal wala dapat issue dahil may upsacaler naman and onkyo yung faroudja yata, di lang ako sure sa audio kung ano kaya detect ng dvd mo, im sure experts in pdvd can provide better response ot your query ;)

-
just wanted to share fellow ONKYO users.
i recently got an HT RC180 and by far this is the best sounding receiver I have heard and used. SQ for both HT and Audio listening is superb. Apart from this, its THX certified and is network capable, has pre outs so it can accomodate turn table and it can also be used as pre amp in case your looking for more power and intends to use a power amp.
this is a beast of a receiver, highly recommended. ;) ;) ;)
-
Just curious, how much does an HT RC180 cost nowadays in your "favorite" AV shop? I read the specs and boy, I'm impressed. TY. ;)

Onkyo to Support HDMI 1.4 with 3D-Ready Capability in 2010 A/V Receivers
January 6th, 2010
OSAKA—Onkyo has announced that all of the A/V receivers in its 2010 line-up will support the new HDMI 1.4 standard. HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) 1.4 specifies a variety of new capabilities for a wide range of video, audio, and computer products. In the case of the new Onkyo products, support will be provided for both 3D video and Audio Return Channel capabilities.
Onkyo is proud to be one of the first to implement HDMI 1.4 across all of its new A/V receivers for 2010. Onkyo’s strong backing for the new standard is based on a recognition of the added capabilities it enables and the simplification it provides for system connections.
The Audio Return Channel in HDMI 1.4 enables a TV, via a single HDMI cable, to send audio data “upstream” to an A/V receiver or surround audio controller. This provides increased flexibility to the user and eliminates the need for a separate S/PDIF audio connection.
Onkyo will introduce its first HDMI 1.4-capable products this spring.
Since 1946, Onkyo has been passionately committed to developing audio products that deliver uncommon performance, quality, and value. Bundling proprietary technologies and innovations with other sound-enhancing exclusives, Onkyo continues to create award-winning products that are lauded by many of the industry’s leading audio publications. The company’s philosophy is to deliver products that are superbly designed and built to a consistently outstanding standard of excellence. Today, Onkyo is at the forefront of the home theater and digital revolutions. For more information about Onkyo products, visit www.intl.onkyo.com.
Onkyo Corporation, Japan

mga sir,
if i have a dvd player with upscaling capabilities already and connect it through the 607 via HDMI, would it still enhance the video output? TIA ;D

Usually, the recommendation po is just do one upscaling, either thru the receiver or the dvd player. If via the dvd player, configure the onkyo for an output resolution of "through". If you want upscaling via the receiver, set the dvd player to not do upscaling and select the output resolution on the receiver (720p/1080i/1080p or auto). Try na lang po whichever is better for you.

thanks for the reply, have you tried with a dvd with HDMI? how is the upscaling if through the 607? near 720p na ba?

I haven't tried a 607 before but I do have a onkyo receiver where I did the upscaling and later switched to the player upscaling when I upgraded. In some cases, if the source material is good, it is near HD quality naman na.

hi guys,
just got my onkyo tx-nr807! i'm reading the manual and it says
"don't connect more than one cable to each speaker terminal. doing so may damage the a/v receiver"
paano ito? e yung speaker wire ko 2 wires per cable. di ko alam ano tawag dun. basta isa "red-green" tapos ung isa naman "black-white".
help!

Bro wrong thread ka, anyway to answer your query, speaker cables consist of two wires, a positive terminal (usually red) and a negative terminal (usually black). Connect the positive wire (in your case red-green) to the positive speaker post (red) of your onkyo and the negative wire (in your case black-white) to the negative speaker post (black) of your onkyo.
Hope this helps

Mga guru's please remove this thread if it is OT, I would like to ask only if it is ok to pay at least 7k for the repair of my Onkyo TXDS 838 Integra ( or I should buy a lower end of Onkyo), I brought the unit in West ave, and this was their estimated price. TIA

7k is too steep for me considering it's current market value now.
I'd rather you just save up for a new one. What was cutting edge when you bought that unit new has trickled down to even the entry level AVRs now.

i noticed 2 sirang avr mo? di kaya may problem ka sa speakers or sa kuryente? possible short circuiting sa speaker wires or within the speaker. pwede rin "madumi" o unstable ang meralco supply mo. i suggest you check these before you replace the receiver/s.

Newbie here. Question lang for Onkyo tx-sr507. Pwede ko ba ikabit dvd player sa optical or coaxial out and ps3 sa hdmi at the same time? Paano setup ng receiver kasi naka hdmi out din receiver to tv? TIA
-

yup you can, the digital out (whether optical or coaxial) is assignable at the receiver. so what will happen is your dvd player is connected via hdmi into you 507's hdmi input #1, dvd player is connected via digital out (whether coax/optical) into 507's digital in, at the receiver, you assign audio out of hdmi #1 to digital in (where coax /optical is connected.
for ps3, connect via hdmi to 507's hdmi input #2, and at the receiver, make sure audio output is also through hdmi #2. in your ps3's settings, you can choose audio output via hdmi whether through bitstream (meaning 507 to decode the audio) or through lpcm (ps3 doing the decoding of audio).
and lastly, connect one hdmi cable from the 507's hdmi out to your lcd/plasma's hdmi input.
you should be good to go.

grabe! sobrang daming options! i don't know where to start!
pwede pala 11 speakers ito, and 1 subwoofer.
it has so many listening modes, i can't even count them.

i have the twin sister on NR807, mine is HT RC180, yes you may opt to use 11 speakers but if if im not mistaken, its only 9 that can run at the same time, for front, you have an option to either use a front height speaker or a front wide speaker but can use them both at the same time, the front height is activated when you choose dolby PL II x while the front wide is activated when you choose audyssey dsx. apparently and based from some reading i had and some feeds from sir mark(streetsmart), the best option is the audyssey dsx using the front wide, this option provides better sound envelopment but has to be set up follwoing certain degrees of angle from the listening position.
indeed too many sound fileds to choose, THX cinema, THX music, surround sound sensation among others
for audio listening my fav is pure audio and direct, not sure if 807 is 7.1 or 7.2 channel, the HTRC180 is 7.2 channel but waht the heck, any .1 channle receiver can also do dual sub set up. congrats on your new receiver, it has tons to offer ;) ;) ;)

doing the digital out as per my understanding i need 2 connection 1 for video and 1 for audio...tama ba?

If you were to choose between (model names are live hyperlinks):
- TX-SR606 (http://www.onkyousa.com/model.cfm?m=TX-SR606&class=Receiver&p=s) (DTS-HD Master Audio and Dolby TrueHD, 105 watts/channel), a bit more expensive
- HT-R560 (http://www.onkyousa.com/model.cfm?m=HT-S5100&class=Systems&p=s) (pass-thru HDMI, 130watts/channel)
which would you pick and why?

Hello mga sir tanong lang po ako. Im using txsr-607 and im using the ps3 slim for playing dvd movies. But when I set the options to dolby digital and the surround back speaker doesn't work but if i choose dolby digital pllx it works perfectly. By the way I set the ps3 slim to bit stream. thanks for your fast reply.

i connected my dvd player to my onkyo via component video cables.
Picture quality was still poor. I was hoping that video upscaling would make the picture better. I'm not sure if video upscaling was indeed enabled because even though I set onkyo's monitor out to 720p, the image I get is still not what I expected.
any tips?

the 807 uses the faroudja chip to do the upscaling duties. its a fairly good chip and should do the upscaling well. what dvd player are you using? i suppose since you are using component, its not an upscaler. if so, is it the progressive kind of dvd, if it is, try setting it to 480i or turn progressive scanning off. and hopefully feeding the 807 with unprocessed signal will let the 807 do its job better.
if the picture is still bad. it now goes to software, does all your dvd looks the same? or just certain movies looks bad and some looks good. sometimes its the software, as they say garbage in garbage out.

i'm using an old pioneer dv-535K. and i'm playing an original gladiator dvd. i am not sure if this is progressive scan though. by the way, here's my set up.
dvd to onkyo via component video.
onkyo to tv via hdmi.
it says in the manual that
"For optimal video performance, thx recommends that video signals pass through the system without upconversion (e.g. component video input through to component video output)."
Labo naman. kaya nga cinonnect sa onkyo para sa upconversion e.
-
Instead of via component video, have you tried connecting the DVD player to the Onkyo via HDMI but setting the input setting at 480i? Then from the Onkyo to the TV via HDMI also. That might do the trick.
Ah, yes, the old pioneer player will not have HDMI. Try component video from player to Onkyo, then HDMI from Onkyo to the TV, and Monitor Out setting to HDMI.

my understanding of the reco is that the signal going into the onkyo should be without upconversion meaning 480i not even p, because doing a 480p means the signal has been through deinterlacing already. but looking at the net, it seems the 535 is not a progressive scan capable player. so it should be pumping out 480i signals.
can you try the 1080i signal, since the 807 can upconvert to 1080i through component. and see how the picture looks.
-
teka guys. what should the picture quality look like ba? should it like an hd torrent download?
-
maybe i'm so used to hd content already that dvd looks bad na. di kaya?
-
It's possible. The 720p and 1080p mkv and other HD files are closer in quality (in fact sometimes indistinguishable from) to blu-ray than DVD. DVD images will not as look as good.
-
teka guys. what should the picture quality look like ba? should it like an hd torrent download?
nope it wont look like that. although those jack sparrows dvd9 dvds looks way better than those old original dvds. imho.

Finally bought the first few pieces of my HT. Had to maintain a certain budget thats why i had to sacrifice a bit on the entry levels. LG LH35 TV, Onkyo 307 reciever, LG BD 307 Blu ray player, Wharfes 9.4 for fronts and Wharfe CS9 for center. Next month na sub and surrounds at max na card ko :'(.

Congrats sa new toy niyo. Sir parang naka harang ng konti yun center dun sa tv.
-
Salamat pare. Oo nga eh, thinking of having something under para tumaas ng konti yung TV. Kaso inaalala ko naman baka matumba pa siya pang nilagyan ko sa baba eh. Di na kasi kaya sa mismong rack and wala pa pambili din ng bago hehe.
Will think of something to do medyo eye sore nga siya eh.
Thanks again.

Ganda! Puede siguro wall mount nalang ang LCD.
-
Thanks. Di pa kasi ako makapag wall mount kasi we just rent our place and Idont want to riun the walls baka magalit ang may ari hehe.
Also sayang lang ang wall mount tapos pag lilipat ay babaklasin din. Saving the wall mount till we settle on something on our own.

Finally bought the first few pieces of my HT. Had to maintain a certain budget thats why i had to sacrifice a bit on the entry levels. LG LH35 TV, Onkyo 307 reciever, LG BD 307 Blu ray player, Wharfes 9.4 for fronts and Wharfe CS9 for center. Next month na sub and surrounds at max na card ko :'(. But I can't complain about the performance... meet my new toys...

Bro ganda new toys mo! try to experiment -- medyo pag layuin mo pa ang mga front speakers mo to achieve better effects...

@ wackys1021 pareho po tayo ng TV LG 32LH35 din akin kakabili ko lang kay boss Vic last last week. Hehehe... Balak ko din po bumili ng ganyang setup na audio. Magakano po kuha mo sa ONKYO mo? :) :) :)

Good for you ShogdGreat. The TV is great for its price. Onkyo reciever is at PhP15300 cash. Plus 10% for 6 months and plus 15% for 12 months. I think sir Vic gives the same prices.

Hi Guys!
I need your expertise on calibrating my 607.
My Setup: ts-xr607, Polk Audio TSi200(Bi-Amp),TSi100,CS10,PSW110
My current settings(By Audessy+min adjustments)
Speaker Config : Sub = Yes, Front = 40hz, Center = 40hz, Surround = 40hz, LPF = 80hz
Speaker Distance (ft): Sub = 10, L/R = 9, Center = 9, Surround L/R= 4
Level Calibration : Sub = -15db, L/R = -6db, Center = -8db, Surround L/R= -8db
Is there something wrong with my settings?
The bass doesn't work when playing audio cd using Pure Direct and other presets.
When watching movies , i need to crank the volume to 45 to get descent bass..
Thanks!
-
mga onkyo masters meron lang ako noob question....hope someone will answer
meron po ako onkyo TX-SR-507 together with the speakers na kasama niya.. ask ko lang if pwede ba ako gumamit ng banana plugs for both the amplifier and speaker to interconnect? thanks in advance hope someone will shed a light on this matter.. :)

yes you can use banana plugs to terminate the speaker ends of your speakers as long as it will fit the terminals of your amp and speakers properly. ;)

i think the pure direct will only make use of your 2 ch. speakers. left and right speakers only.
try to crank-up the bass and treble adjustment.

I have an Onkyo HTR550 my level calibration is at 0db. I did not use the Audyssey settings and tweaked myself to what I want. No sub as John E. knows my problem. But I have decent enough bass considering I am only using Yam HTIB NSP100 speakers.. I know because last night. My neighbor knocked on my door in our apartment at 10p.m. she said' KOYA di kami makatolog" :)

Mr.John E thank you for the reply..however i want know is there a different size for banana plugs or this is standard size...I want to make sure first because im ordering from ebay...so i dont want to waste money with some purchases that i cannot use at all..hehehehehe thanks...
anyone using onkyo tx-sr507 which uses banana plugs on both ends? speaker>>>amplifier?
btw im buying the nakamichi banana plugs any suggestions?

try changing the crossover to 80 hz for the front, center and surround and LPF to 120hz
maintain the speaker distance as this is usually accurate after audyssey

pure audio sound mode and direct sound mode eliminates digital circuitry and dispsnes all sound through your front speaekr only, these setting provides sound according to how the music was recorded thus no enhancement produced, whne choosing this sound mode, you should change yuor sub setting to NO reminder though that this setting is only good for music listening that dont require heavy bass, if you want the bass, it should be either stereo and all channel stereo, then set the sub to YES againThanks!

i believe banana plugs are of standard size. im also using nakamichi banana plugs
banana plugs on both ends is the most ideal as this is easy to manage especially if your into moving your speakers a lot although some audiophile folks prefer bare wires. im using banana plugs on both ends too.

i have had several banana plugs like monster, monster dual, monoprice and self locking ones.
my experience with the dual is there are some speakers na mas malaki ang gap ng binding post terminals such as the monitor audios making the dual plugs unfit.
monoprice singles fits the speaker terminals well but masyado manipis for the speaker terminals of onkyo.
best if you get those self locking banana plugs. ;)
-
i think the pure direct will only make use of your 2 ch. speakers. left and right speakers only.

+1 to brader john.
audyssey tends to lower down bass after calibration. your setting -15db. try to crank it up to suit your taste.

:D
The beauty of Onkyo when tweaked right.. Great bang for the buck.. hehehe.. 8)
Looking forward to getting the Velos being offered here by a fellow member..So that we can go" boom boom boom lets go back to my room" 8)konting tiis pa..

I will this later.

sir waxx, can you check if its compatible with an 807/rc180, i can lend you mine, im in makati tomrrow till perhaps 6pm and quezon city on friday ;) ;)09178830777 here tirso dela cruz
Sir saw this previous post I was wondering if you are ok to lend your Audyssey mic when I get my 7.1 setup up or can I already use this now with my 5.1 setup with my Onkyo HRT550?
-
I was trying to plug in my wife's SANDISK MP3 player using a 3.5male plug to 3.5 male plug going into a 3.5 female to dual RCA male to the AUX on the front panel of my HRT550.
I pressed AUX and no sound came out.
Instead what we did was plug the MP3 player using its usb to the DVD player. Now it's playing but low bass or no sub is what I think is happening.
Any ideas on how I can use the AUX or other inputs?
Thanks Gurus for your inputs

ok naman siya pare di kasi ako maka pag comment coz I'm still missing sub and rears pero dun palang sa speakers ko now lakas n ng tunog specially for bd playback. But I have a friend who is offering a yamaha 465 to me at a reasonable price by 3rd week of march. If I get that then I maybe releasing this 2 week old reciever of mine in the market. If you maybe interested I will keep you posted if it pushes through.

what is the use/or purpose of level calibration?
Usually po all channels will be sweeped by white noise and you adjust each of the channels so that they may be balanced. Para po sa main listening position, the volume of all the channels are level with each other. No channel is louder or softer than the other. Dati po we do manual calibration but with the advent of the Audyssey technology now present in most receivers it should be easier. Though some still prefer manual calibration over Audyssey.

that's because audyssey equalizes sound at reference levels where it sounds really great. but once you listen below reference levels -- which we almost always do because the reference level is usually too loud for home listening -- the sound seems too thin for our tastes. unless you have dynamic eq, good ol' tweaking is necessary when listening at below reference levels to compensate for the equal loudness contours.

Laguna Sir yung seller? papost naman review mo sa new acquisition mo na ht-r500 Sir
yes sir sa laguna, san pablo to be exact as of this time im only using it with a generic aiwa speaker from my byenan ;D for stereo listening and a genric powered polytron subwoofer. tunog lata pa kasi buti na lang may subs kaya hindi masyado masakit sa tenga. used to be a past owner ng onkyo(tx sr503), and from my past experience i've found it to be really good in music(stereo and prologic music IIx). kaya nung nakita ko for sale htr500 nangati kaagad pwet ko para mabili receiver na yun assuming na it will sound also like my past 503. by the way proud owner pa rin ng hk receiver ;) i'll keep you posted pag nakumpleto na po tong set up na to :)

http://gizmodo.com/5488963/onkyos-tx+sr608-is-the-first-thx+certified-3d-av-receiver-and-has-six-hdmi-inputs
Onkyo USA has announced March deliveries of its first 3D-Ready home theater receivers and home theater in a box (HTiB) systems. The new models consist of three A/V receivers and three HTiB systems ranging in price from $299 to $599, and all of them support the new HDMI v1.4 connectivity standard for new 3D video displays and Audio Return Channel capabilities. All are exceptionally well equipped to provide a superior music, home theater sound and video experience, with high build-quality and offering excellent value.
For Onkyo, a name that translates roughly to 'sound harmony' in Japanese, sound quality is preeminent. All these new receivers and HTiBs now decode lossless Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio bitstreams, and include new 192-kHz/24-bit Burr-Brown PCM1690 DAC's that are highly resistant to clock jitter and provide a remarkable 113-dB dynamic range. The lineup includes Onkyo's new easy-to-setup overlaid onscreen graphical display that lets the user watch the program in the background while using the function menus. Additionally, all 2010 HDMI v1.4 models include a new feature call HDMI Thru. HDMI Thru allows content to pass through to the TV when the receiver is in a standby state.
The new TX-SR608 7.2-channel THX-Select2 Plus certified receiver has new power amplifier section that uses three-stage inverted Darlington output topology, and a power boost from 90 to 100 watts. Audyssey DSX dimensional sound processing has been added to its predecessor's Dolby PLIIz capabilities. Additionally, all video sources, including those using the new PC input, and regardless of source resolution, can be upscaled to big and beautiful 1080p via HDMI and Faroudja DCDi Cinema™. The TX-SR608 will also include a front HDMI input, a feature first introduced by Onkyo in 2009. The TX-SR608 will be available in April at an MSRP of $599.
The 5.1-channel TX-SR308 and 7.1-channel TX-SR508 round out this initial announcement of A/V Receivers from Onkyo. The TX-SR308 will be available in March with an MSRP of $299, a followed by the TX-SR508 in April for $399.
The HTiB package systems, which each consist of a receiver, speakers and a subwoofer, are the 5.1-channel HT-S3300 and 7.1-channel HT-S5300; the latter also includes an iPod dock. Thanks to the HDMI interface and the use of advanced Dolby and DTS codecs, all of these receivers and systems are also capable of decoding lossless Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio. The HT-S3300 will ship in March with an MSRP of $379, followed by the HT-S5300 in April for $599.
A third packaged system departs from the traditional HTiB form factor and uses a combination subwoofer and 3D Ready A/V receiver plus two front speakers. It uses Onkyo's own Theater-Dimensional processor to create an immersive and convincing surround effect through just 2.1 channels. The HTX-22HDX has three HDMI v1.4 inputs, handles HD audio formats from DTS and Dolby; offers four distinct audio modes for gaming; and outputs for additional speakers. The HTX-22HDX will ship in May with a $349 MSRP.
"Onkyo's 2010 entry-level product line represents a significant jump over last year's line," said Paul Wasek, Onkyo USA's marketing manager. "We are excited to deliver this first wave of 3D capable products. By upgrading to 1.4, even on the least expensive HTiB, we have eliminated all HDMI pass-through products and allowed HD audio formats to be used across the line. The fact that consumers can now buy a THX-Certified receiver with 1080p upscaling, Burr-Brown DACs, PC input and more for under $600 shows Onkyo's clear commitment to delivering performance and value to consumers."
All of Onkyo's receivers offer exceptional connectivity options with as many as six HDMI inputs, plus component and composite video, numerous stereo input jacks, optical/coaxial digital inputs, and the popular front-panel connections on many models. Two models include Sirius Radio connections, and all these receivers incorporate Onkyo's proprietary Universal Port (U-Port) connector which simplifies connections to optional HD Radio tuners and iPod Docks (included with the HT-S5300).

I just closed a deal to buy HT-S3200 in two days, and now I come home to read this. The successor HT-S3300 is just around the corner. Sigh. The thought of having HDMI audio decoding (no more need for a separate optical cable), plus lossless HD audio at the same price range (hopefully)... Hintayin ko na lang kaya ito. What a way to lose excitement about the current model.

http://gizmodo.com/5488963/onkyos-tx+sr608-is-the-first-thx+certified-3d-av-receiver-and-has-six-hdmi-inputs
Onkyo USA has announced March deliveries of its first 3D-Ready home theater receivers and home theater in a box (HTiB) systems. The new models consist of three A/V receivers and three HTiB systems ranging in price from $299 to $599, and all of them support the new HDMI v1.4 connectivity standard for new 3D video displays and Audio Return Channel capabilities. All are exceptionally well equipped to provide a superior music, home theater sound and video experience, with high build-quality and offering excellent value.
For Onkyo, a name that translates roughly to 'sound harmony' in Japanese, sound quality is preeminent. All these new receivers and HTiBs now decode lossless Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio bitstreams, and include new 192-kHz/24-bit Burr-Brown PCM1690 DAC's that are highly resistant to clock jitter and provide a remarkable 113-dB dynamic range. The lineup includes Onkyo's new easy-to-setup overlaid onscreen graphical display that lets the user watch the program in the background while using the function menus. Additionally, all 2010 HDMI v1.4 models include a new feature call HDMI Thru. HDMI Thru allows content to pass through to the TV when the receiver is in a standby state.
The new TX-SR608 7.2-channel THX-Select2 Plus certified receiver has new power amplifier section that uses three-stage inverted Darlington output topology, and a power boost from 90 to 100 watts. Audyssey DSX dimensional sound processing has been added to its predecessor's Dolby PLIIz capabilities. Additionally, all video sources, including those using the new PC input, and regardless of source resolution, can be upscaled to big and beautiful 1080p via HDMI and Faroudja DCDi Cinema™. The TX-SR608 will also include a front HDMI input, a feature first introduced by Onkyo in 2009. The TX-SR608 will be available in April at an MSRP of $599.
The 5.1-channel TX-SR308 and 7.1-channel TX-SR508 round out this initial announcement of A/V Receivers from Onkyo. The TX-SR308 will be available in March with an MSRP of $299, a followed by the TX-SR508 in April for $399.
The HTiB package systems, which each consist of a receiver, speakers and a subwoofer, are the 5.1-channel HT-S3300 and 7.1-channel HT-S5300; the latter also includes an iPod dock. Thanks to the HDMI interface and the use of advanced Dolby and DTS codecs, all of these receivers and systems are also capable of decoding lossless Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio.

Mga Sir, bago lang ako sa mga usaping home theater, would really appreciate kung mabibigyan nyo ako ng advice... currently, i am building my first home theater system...i have jamo center speaker, a studio acoustic front speaker and a tunog plastic na kenwood subwoofer...with enough budget for the receiver of 20k, i have two units in mind...
Mga Sir, need your advice, a gentleman outside pinoydvd is offering a 3months old onkyo txsr 507 with 4 polk audio RM7 satellite speaker another is an onkyo txsr 606...Please advice, these two units are below 20k, my question is, whish is better, the 507 with package polk audio, or the bare unit 606? Thanks.. really appreciate your assistance...

I've recently done some research because I'm building a 5.1 home theater system from scratch. Onkyo 507 and 606 were among those that I was considering. The 606 is a higher-end but older model, and there are some complaints regarding it's HDMI board running into problems after a year of usage. The 507 is a lower model but is newer, and so far I haven't found as many complaints online (perhaps because it's still less than a year in the market). Some people also report that 507 generates less heat than 606 after hours of operation. All in all, I'd get the 507.
Regarding the Polk RM7, I honestly don't know about them. A quick check at Amazon shows 3 reviewers loving it, and 1 reviewer calling the sound "horrible". http://www.amazon.com/Polk-Audio-Satellite-Speaker-Single/dp/B000YNOWTS (http://www.amazon.com/Polk-Audio-Satellite-Speaker-Single/dp/B000YNOWTS) So better if you audition them and decide for yourself. It's selling for $80 per piece so the Onkyo 507 + 4 pcs. Polk audio RM7 for less than P20K seem to be a very good deal.
-
I used to own a 507. I have only 2 complaints.
1. There's no upscaling of video to hdmi. When you use component or composite connection, you also have to use the same out from the receiver to the monitor.
2. User Interface is displayed on the Receiver only.

How about the SQ sir? Im also eyeing on this receiver for my 5.1 setup to pair with wharf 9.1. TIA.

SQ? I can't really say since I haven't compared it to a different receiver of the SAME wattage. If I remember correctly, the 507 is 75watts/ch. It's probably ok for satellites.
I replaced it with a denon 1910 which to me, sounded "cleaner/softer" to the ear and had more impact/punch than the 507. Probably due to the higher wattage.

the 507 is not comparale to the 1910 actually as 1910 is already in the middle of the pack, this is actually pitted agains 606/607 and yammy 663, the four more or less have the same features wiht plus or minueses over the other
for a starter, the 507 is not a bad receiver specially if your not into those upscaling thing, even using floor staders or bs, the 507 will not dissapoint, you just need to get speakers that has a higehr sensitivity, atleast the way i understood thing as people are saying 90db sensitivity are easiser to drive( iwould have to leave response to further query on this to our HT gurus as as i can not go deeper in the explanation anymore). if your room is not that big and is working on a budget, then 507 is the way to go but if you have an extra juice to extract, you may want to consider the 606, 607 price range is from around 30k to 32 k perhaps. the post above for sale the 605 is actaully a very good option,the 507 would only cost as much. by the way, if you will try to reaserach, you would see that the Onkyo605 is one of the most sough after eceiver when it was relased getting 5 start rating and product of the year award from hat hifi magazine. you might want to pm or call the seller and give it an audition.
good luck on yor hunt
-
Based on my experience, speaker sensitivity doesn't really matter when matching components. Even if one speaker has a higher sensitivity over the other, I'd still pick an amp that will overpower or at least match the maximum RMS rating of the driver to get the most out of it.
Every speaker has it's own distinct sound. Speaker A (sensitivity 92db) may sound louder vs Speaker B (senistivity 86db) off a 75 watt amp but, louder doesn't necessarily equate to being better.

Hi Beefy, may I ask what speakers you were driving with the 507, which sounded better with the 1910? The 1910 is rated at 90 watts per channel (versus 75 watts for the 507). Looks like the 15-watt difference does have some impact.
-
I'm using energy speakers rated at 100 watts RMS. The 15 watt difference had a really noticable difference, but then again, it was a different receiver. I could have given a better conclusion if I changed to a higher wattage AVR of the same brand.
-
^^ I see.. ok got it. Thank you. :)

Will the 608 Matrix Hi-Def audio from 5.1 to 7.1 The 605 could not, can the 608?
-
The 608's aren't out yet locally. Are you talking about the Dolby PLIIx? I don't see why not
-
The 605 has dplIIx but cannot matrix lossless audio. I believe THX Select2 can add surround back channels to lossless audio.

Now that my stash of AVRs are almost gone, i just took a bite on the older onkyo 875 over the newer but lower model onkyo rc-180. Im always a believer that older but higher model would perform better than the new but lower models. The 875 is only a few bucks expensive than rc-180. I guess I wouldnt need the new dolby PLz because most of my movies are encoded in DTS, DD & lossless codecs thru blu-ray disc. Kaya lang darating pa lang one-month from now. Excited na ako. ;D ;D

being an owner of the HT RC180, the best feature I like about this is actually the Audyssey DSX, although magastos nga lang because you need to get at least 7 speakers, 5 of them sa front namely the front, the front wide and the center. at syempre it cost lower ;D
with reference sa binanggit ni brader raul(nogie) the 875 is mean becasue of the power it has not to mention its ULTRA2 THX certified versus mine that is a tad lower, select 2 certified only.
congrats sir raul sa bagong padating ;)
-
^ I'm inclined to get the RC-180 pero nakatsamba yong brod ko ng open box na 875 na halos parehas ang presyo. I'm always longing for this mean receiver if I can get it at the right price. Ayun nakatsamba sa wakas. I hope i made the right decision. ;) ;)

you will never go wrong with the 875 brader raul. this is where preference would come in, i have been fascinated with the dsx set up since hearing it so i made the right decision i getting the 180, in your case, you have always been fascinated by the pwoer of the amp side and the less compliction so the 875 suite your preference well., the 875 packs power and has some features that are not present sa 180 plus i like the fascia design, it looks meaner that the new models of onkyo 180, 807 up to the TOTL 5007 all look the same and i like the way 875 looks way better than the rest
-
When will the 08 models come out? It was recently released in the US and I think, Singapore. Some AV stores don't have stocks of the 607 anymore and are suggesting to wait for the 608. Hopefully will be released in our market soon.
-
I'm looking to pick up the 608 when I visit Hong Kong next month, possibly also the Optoma HD66 3D Projector.

Quick technical question to all. The Onkyo 807 was benchmarked and these were the following results:
HT Labs Measures
Five channels driven continuously into 8-ohm loads:
0.1% distortion at 105.5 watts
1% distortion at 122.0 watts
Since my RX speakers are a 6-ohm load, what could I assume would be the wpc output for five channels driven continuously for 6 ohms?

Basically anywhere is cheaper than Philippines. Prices here are a joke. 38k for an Onkyo 607.

That's also true... there's pro & con for each situation. For some buyers the added cost for peace of mind is certainly worth it. :)

Where did anyone quote 38k for the 607? Note that most prices initially given by shops are SRP. They would be subject to 10-20 percent discount at most audio video shops. The 606 and the 607 has always been at the 28-30k range @ cash.

yes, way way cheaper.

Wife is buying me the Onkyo 608 in Hong Kong in return I buy her an iPad. I would rather purchase a HK model TBH. My HK 605 came with full Asia warranty. From what I have experienced, Philippines warranties are not worth wiping your butt crack with. Just need to confirm that the 608 will matrix Loss less audio.

You have any idea how much the 608 will be in HK? How do you plan to ship it back to manila? Di ba medyo mabigat yan for air freight? Am thinking about going to HK too.

hmmm... US$6++. That range can go anywhere from 601 to 699. Even at US$600 that's 27k in local currency. Not that much difference. Though I'm sure its available for less at other stores. But is it really worth lugging around such heavy equipment through the airport and the risk of the accidents by baggage handlers?
But then again, basing on the prices of the older models especially the Denon 2310, malaki talaga ang difference.

Right now, its not yet available locally. Was assuming that it would still be in the same range as the 607 as it was the same price as the 606, the 1909 and 1910. Might be wrong though.
-
But is it really worth lugging around such heavy equipment through the airport and the risk of the accidents by baggage handlers?
Yes it will be really hassle. Unless the item is shipped to Philippines. Then again one has to calculate the shipping cost + custom fee, etc hence will the expected landed cost cheaper than buying it locally? If there is a big saving then it will be worthwhile considering otherwise save the trouble. ;D

The 2310 may be worthwhile though. Even if the price wasw 799 USD, as opposed to low 700s, it would only amount to 36k. I think locally its available for around 47k.

i was quoted US$620 on the 608 by hivizone and they can ship to the phil by sea at US$35 thru HK post. don't know how reliable is our post office and how much import duties they will charge. maybe it would be cheaper if sent thru JAC HK by sea or the common pinoy couriers. do you pay import tax on boxes sent thru kabayan forwarder or the likes?
been thinking of ugrading my denon 2308 ;D. got to call my ofw friend who bought the 2308. he brought amp right to my doorstep free of shipping charge.

I think Avshop is selling the 607 at 28 or 29k. If its thru HK post and it passes through the local postal system, siguradong taxed ka niyan. Not to mention baka masira pa ng philpost yan sa carelessness nila. JAC may be more feasible. Then again, shipping might be expensive especially if by airfreight. Seafreight would be cheaper but you'd probably save more if you had more stuff in the balikbayan box. I think custom sized boxes are also expensive.

if the 608 is sold locally at 30k, sure it is wise to buy here. but again will wait till the 608 will land on our shores. sa US, the 608 cost only $499, you add $60 sa balikbayan box + other stuff you can throw in the box- mas sulit.
p.s. kasya kaya ang box ng mga avr sa balikbayan box? im sure the bayan box height is not a problem coz it's taller. but the width and length of the avr box may not fit inside the bayan box.
-
Can get the 608 for around 3,700 HKD (22k PhP) If I pay cash. Mother in law knows someone at Customs. Will call him and arrange for him to be at airport when I arrive. 22k is better than 30+ k. Plus I want 220volt and not 110volt from US. Never quite trust AVR's

just arrived yesterday and today at our friendly neighborhood stores. prices for the onkyo 608 are at 31K cash and 37K SRP...
prices seem to be fair considering the 607 is still at 28K cash and around 33k SRP. small difference to pay for a stronger and THX certified amp.
-
Can get the 608 for around 3,700 HKD (22k PhP) If I pay cash. Mother in law knows someone at Customs. Will call him and arrange for him to be at airport when I arrive. 22k is better than 30+ k. Plus I want 220volt and not 110volt from US. Never quite trust AVR's
that's a good deal at 22k peso equivalent sir. to me 110v does not matter coz i always use a voltage regulator.
31k local price is not bad either considering the warranty and hassle when buying from abroad
-

I think the 110 reference is against US purchases. HK is also 220v?
@bludevil,
9k is a great deal. But customs is not really the bigger problem. Its easy enough to pay them off even if you don't know anybody. Bigger problem is if you trust the baggage handlers especially at NAIA. If they mishandle that and you don't declare the full value, there is a limited liability clause on your ticket. And you know that the warranty will not be honored here or even in hk because of physical damage. Plus, thats already half of your luggage allowance unless of course you fly in business class.
But then again... that's still about a 30+ percent in savings.
BTW, where did you have that quoted? Hehehe.
-
amazon is offering the 608 at a lower price than srp of $599. I think its 20% off. Wala bang group buy diyan or members who will ship the units here similar to yammy 663 before? ;D
-
Finally pulled the trigger on the onkyo 608. And even with the 31K price i got I still am satisfied with its performance. Laki ng difference sa tunog and power ng speakers ko compared to the 307 I got before. Plus the THX certification is a welcome bonus.
Next stop... another pair of speakers to complete my 7.1 set up...

Congrat wacksy1021, let your baby sings!! :D

@wacksy1021 review naman po sa bago nyo Onkyo. San po kau bumili? Ok po kaya pair w/ wharf 9.5? TIA
currently using wharfes 9.4 so i think the 9.5 will have no problems it will even be better at the set up since it is a better and more powerful speaker. Sound quality specially for Movie viewing is so much better by many levels compared to my previous 307 set up.
easy to calibrate due to audissey set up and the tv menu screen is very convenient. Still getting used to the complexities though dun sa 307 kasi very staright forward lang ang pag setup, dito ang dami options kaya I have to really research kung para saan ang settings na yun.
Only down side is the heat, contemplating on buying an exhaust fan that I will put in the TV rack directky above the reciever to help dissipate heat.
but other than that all expections I had were met and even above. watched Avatar Blu ray and matrix Bluray and enjoyed the experience better this time than when i first watched it using my previous set up

Wow, that is nice. Thanks wacksy. Bka sa July po bibili ako 608. I think the heat generated by 608 is not as hot as the previous 607. Alam ko po kasi may built-in fan na ang 608.

No problem yang heat, mine is the old 606 model and it dessipates more heat pero no problem encountered even if I do movie marathon and ps3 gaming.

Can't wait to get my hands on it when I visit Hong Kong in 3 weeks time.
607 was 34K when I visited a retailer in Cebu yesterday, No discount either are they taking the p@ss or what? Can't wait to experience Saving Private Ryan in glorious 7.1

Some members got the new 608 locally at 31K+. HK is indeed an AV paradise but if you're planning to get an AVR, it's bulky size & weight hence, lots of hassle....also have to consider custom duties & warranty issues. If the price isn't much different then probbaly it's better to get it locally.
-
If my guy comes thru @ $3700 HKD I'll go for it, don't really wanna spend more than equiv 30K PhP.
-
blu-devil, 608 ba ? why don't you get locally ? warranty very important.
-
Because I'm not prepared to pay upwards of 35k for a 608. No disrespect intended and this is from personal experience. Having lived in S.E.Asia for the last 4 years I have come to the conclusion that most warranties aren't worth the paper they are printed on. I have also noticed that retailers in this part of the world (unlike the UK) will say ANYTHING to get a sale, and that includes lying and general bullsh@tting. One shop offered me a 30 day limited warranty on a Panasonic 3000 projector. What a waste of my time. If I'm going to hand over 100k for an electronic item I want and Insist on at least 1 year full parts and labour, and not some pre pubescent muppet doing a DIY hack job on my gear. I have a VERY low opinion of Filipino consumer electronics sales persons. But if you can prove me wrong I am all ears.
Last week my brother in law went into a CE shop in Cebu and was informed by a sales person who pointed toward a very old HD READY LCD "buy this one sir, Sony will be dropping FULL HD later this year anyway" What a crock of sh*t. If the guy had tried that line on me I swear I would have bitch slapped him right there in the middle of the store. I do not tolerate people trying to make a tit out of me and unfortunately the local CE stores try to do just that.
-
oh ok. it's just that discounted price for the 608 is only around 32 thousand.
edit: oh.. just saw your avatar / signature. you're from cebu. i guess you'll have a hard time finding a decent CE store in your location. if you want it fast try calling sonny tuason at 8118443 (with the appropriate prefix).
-
just talked to sgt. it's 31.4k plus 400 freight to cebu..

To all Onkyo fans who are thinking of upgrade or replacement of your existing receiver:
Onkyo Debuts Three THX Certified, 3D-Ready, Network Receivers with Audio Streaming and Multi-Room Functionality
(http://www.gspr.com/onkyo/images/txnr_1008_mdc_fr1_72.jpg)
(http://www.gspr.com/onkyo/images/txnr_808_fr_open_72.jpg)
UPPER SADDLE RIVER, NJ, 6/1/10 -- Onkyo, a world-renowned name in quality home entertainment, announced the release of three new mid- and upper mid-range network A/V receivers for 2010: the TX-NR1008, TX-NR808, and TX-NR708. Each of these models is THX® Select2 Plus™ certified and offers the latest processing and user-friendly features to support multi-room set-ups, network audio streaming, iPhone®/iPod®-compatible USB, and fully immersive 3D capable home theater with multidimensional surround sound to match.
All of these models have seven of the latest HDMI® 1.4a connections, specifying compatibility with the new 3D video formats, which promise to bring an exciting new dimension to movies and games in the home. These new receivers are also compatible with the mandatory formats for 3D broadcast content of “Side-By-Side (Half)” and “Top-and-Bottom” 3D video formats.
HDMI is also the conduit for 1080p video upscaling of all video inputs, regardless of native resolution, via Faroudja DCDi Cinema™. On all three of the new Onkyo receiver models, DCDi Cinema works to remove jaggies during the video signal deinterlacing process, resulting in smooth progressive-scan video images.
Each of these network receivers includes a rear-panel Ethernet port that links it directly to the internet or to a home PC. Users can then enjoy superior fidelity from a wide range of audio file types, including MP3, WMA, WMA Lossless, FLAC, WAV, Ogg Vorbis, AAC, and LPCM. They can also access a range of different streaming Internet radio services, from Pandora®, Rhapsody, vTuner, and Sirius Internet Radio®, and newly expanded services from Napster, Mediafly™, and Slacker™ internet radio.
The Ethernet connection brings the added convenience of easy firmware upgrades, which enhance the unit’s functionality going forward. Each receiver is also Windows® 7 compatible and DLNA 1.5 certified to allow audio streaming from other network-enabled equipment throughout the home.
Audio processing on all three models includes the studio master-quality of the industry’s two leading lossless codecs, Dolby® TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio™. Complementing these are the expanded surround dimensions of Dolby® Pro Logic® IIz and Audyssey DSX™. The former provides the option of adding extra height channels for improved ambience, while the latter adds either height or width channels. With the 7.2-channel TX-NR808 and TX-NR708, these extra channels replace the surround rear channels. Meanwhile, with the 9.2-channel TX-NR1008, users have a host of different speaker configurations to choose from.
This flexibility extends to multi-room set-ups. Onkyo’s new A/V receivers open the door to distributed audio in up to three rooms in the home. With the TX-NR708, users can take advantage of a powered Zone 2 or a Zone 2 line out. Meanwhile, the TX-NR808 provides a powered Zone 2, along with pre-outs for Zones 2 and 3. Finally, the TX-NR1008 can deliver 5.1-channel surround sound in the main room, plus fully powered stereo audio of two different sources in Zone 2 and Zone 3.
Along with the two extra amplifier channels and one extra HDMI output, the TX-NR1008 offers further advantages over its two siblings. It is equipped with advanced ISF video calibration controls for independent optimization and fine-grained adjustments of every video source. And it sports an extra 192 kHz/24-bit Burr Brown DAC to handle the heavy demands of multi-channel audio processing.
Each of the three Onkyo models includes a full suite of Audyssey equalization and room-correction technologies to ensure optimal audio performance in any environment and at any volume level. Chief among these is Audyssey MultEQ®, which corrects for time and frequency-response problems caused by room acoustics, and which calibrates speakers for optimal audio balance throughout the listening space.
All three receivers have an iPhone®/iPod®-compatible front-side USB port that allows on-screen display of album art and navigation via the included remote. Other noteworthy features shared by this trio include an analog RGB input for video content from a connected PC; PLL jitter-cleaning circuit technology; and Onkyo’s new overlaid graphical OSD for seamless adjustment of settings during a viewing session.
The TX-NR1008 and TX-NR808 include Onkyo's bi-directional and customizable preprogrammed remote control to simplify the process of programming all the components in the system.
With these latest releases, Onkyo looks to consolidate its position as a provider of the most up-to-date home entertainment features backed by rock-solid performance and intelligent design.
The Onkyo TX-NR708 and TX-NR808 will be available at the beginning of July with suggested retail prices of $899 and $1,099 respectively. The TX-NR1008 will ship to dealers at the end of July and will have a suggested retail price of $1,399.
Since 1946 Onkyo has been passionately committed to developing audio products that deliver uncommon performance, quality and value. Bundling proprietary technologies and innovations with other sound-enhancing exclusives, Onkyo continues to created award winning products that are lauded by many of the industry leading audio publications. The company's philosophy is to deliver products that are superbly designed and built to a consistently outstanding standard of excellence. Today, Onkyo is at the forefront of the home theater and digital revolutions. For more information about this and other fine Onkyo products, visit www.onkyousa.com.

What a shame Onkyo cuts down the specs at the 1007 > 1008 transition. Other than the HDMI 1.4 & 3D compatibility, there is no longer Ultra2 Plus Certified and just the more basic Audyssey MultEQ (not the XT version). :-[
Hopefully 1007 will go down in price & I'll get it. ;D

Yes, I will certainly call him. I still have the quote he gave me. Will wait for the right time or at least after the 1008 is launched. :)

i have been lurking in the avsforum lately and have found a lot of good reads there about audyssey dsx and onkyo htrc180/nr807. there is a thread discussing the 708, 808, 1008 and it seems most of the people posting are not impressed, they felt the older models have superior features. more like of a downgrade they say for the new lines.
-
One downgrade I noticed is that they dropped the Audyssey suite from the TX-SR308. The previous model TX-SR307 had Audyssey 2EQ, Dynamic EQ and Dynamic Volume. The current 308 has none of these.
Curiously, the receiver bundled with the Onkyo HTiB HT-S3300 is very similar to the 308, but has the Audyssey suite! What a weird thing to bundle a better receiver with an HTiB compared with a stand alone receiver. ???
-
Eh some body in Onkyo should get a hammer for coming up with such strategy....other brands are upgrading its series at similar price range (and lower in some cases) while Onkyo is the other way round... ??? :-\
-
Maybe they thought that the 3D capability will be their selling point for the new batch? ;D
-
Can anyone suggest a reliable store in Hongkong that sells cheap or reasonable Onkyo AVRs?

HTRC180, NR807 and NR1007 would still be the best option i would say taking into consideration features and price for the newer model for the older one, IMO nothing beats the 875.

Korek ka dito brader. Never been happier in my "HT life" until I acquire my 875. Lahat ng hanap ko sa AVR dito ko lang nakita sa 875. Dialogs are so neat & clean ramdam ko din yong malalim na buga ng 10 incher velo subs ko. Ganda brader Tirso! Syempre, I had it documented from "unboxing to set-up para me papakita rin ako pag meron na ako sa HT gallery. ;D

Sir, sorry for the newbie question, is the price difference of 608 from 508 worth it? I am just about to build my first simple HT setup..i am looking for a receiver which is hopefully below 25k. But looking at the user reviews here and sa amazon, I am thinking of stretching my budget. Sulit po ba?

in my opinion NO. mukhang yung video upscaling lang naman ang pagkakaiba
The THX certification is just a badge in my opinion, Im using a higher model na THX ceritifed din pero wala din namang effect sa listening pelasure ko, or baka di lang ako marunong mag set.

Thanks so much sir for the quick reply!
try checking Onkyo Usa site, there is a feature that provides ide by side comparison of the units, you may also use google and type onkyo 508 versus onkyo 608 which one is better, im sure you can get a lot reads
-
Is there a big difference between the Onkyo TX-NR3007 and the Onkyo TX-NR807 ? Price difference is quite big. (I currently own a Onkyo TX-SR706).
Thanks ! :)

baka mahirap na makakita ng bago nito eh meron na kaseng 876. kung meron man baka mga 70 to 80 k ito. try contacting sir DOM.

so 876, does it mean mas maganda magperform ito or sa added features lang?
ang mga onkyo receivers ba ok sa stereo mode? ???

id dont think there is much difference from 875 to 876
from my experience, maganda din sa stereo mode ang Onkyo especially the mid level units(875 is midlevel i believe) maganda yung pure audio at direct setting nila. in my case im using Onkyo HT RC180 very much similar to Onkyo NR 807. It sounds better compared to 6 series in 2 channel listening mode. Compared to my NAD 325BEE before, i like the HTRC180 better thats why i sold my NAD
But compared to my baby g, a DIY from brader jojod818, the baby g sound way better.
-

Talagang maganda ang Onkyo 875 sa stereo mode, pure audio & direct pero hindi ko madalas ginagamit. In my case kasi, i use stereo mode (audiophile music) to induce sleep eh sa bilis mag-init ng 875 baka pag-gising ko nasusunog na bahay. ;D I still prefer stereo receiver (HK 3390) for my music listening. IMO, HK stereo receivers are hard to beat! ;D

Boss newbie lang din po ako. I choose 508 kasi base din po sa needs ko. I don't need video upscaling features kasi for NMT and my lappy CQ40 HDMI naman w/c is pwede na even video repeater lang like 508. And I think the price difference between 608 and 508 is more or less 10K w/c is dagdagan ko nalang ng konti makakabili nako ng PS3...hehehe ;D

I am a proud owner of an Onkyo 608 and I am satisfied with what I paid for. But as ShogdGreat said it depends upon your need and budget. The 508 is really an upgrade to the previous 507 with its added features. I also chose between the 508 and the 608 when I was upgrading. Maybe it was really because of wanting to purchase a 607 before the new products went out that when I decided and saw that the difference of the 607 and the 608 is very minimal I got the 608 na.
I suggest if you have the budget at 31k then go for the 608 and its other features, for a THX certified reciever this is very cheap and you will have options you dont if you use the 508. If not and you decide to use the price difference for you to buy a set of very good speakers to go with your 508 then that is also great. This means you can balance your budget on a good reciever and a good set of speakers and sub.
Once you decide, always think that you purchased the best para IWAS SARS hehe. Kung pwede nga once nabili mo na gusto mo iwasan mo na magbasa ng threads and enjoy what you have purchased.
IMHO, either way you can go wrong...
-
what onkyo model has discrete amplification like Yamaha 667?
-
what speakers would you recommend to match the 608? ok ba ang polk?

Hi Guys,
I just want to get your reviews regarding the Onkyo TX-SR507. How it performs in terms of movies and stereo listening? By the way I'm more on music listening than movie watching. Also in terms of durability? I heard mabilis daw mag-init ang Onkyo AVRs, true kaya ito?
TIA!

onkyo user here. but if you are realy into music more, you may want to look at harman kardons and denons.
onkyo generally sounds better for movies imho. for music it is a little bit bright for my taste. i am using a 806 btw. as for heat, yup, onkyos do get hot, but i just buy a usb laptop blower to help dissipate heat, and it works for me.

Thanks Sir Iiinas. Ask ko lng po if anong model ng Onkyo ang gamit nyo? I'm considering the TXSR507 coz it's cheaper to other models.

Any user of Onkyo 606 here? please help me to enable OSD thru HDMI.
thanks in advance :)

Sir, press setup (on your receiver), use the up/down buttons to get to "Input/Output Assign" and press Enter. Use up/down buttons again to go to "HDMI monitor", once you're there press Left/Right button and select Yes. You should have OSD on your TV (connected via HDMI to your receiver).

Bro, I thought it was the same for all the onkyo models, apparently it isn't. Looks like that direction I gave won't work. Sorry :(

entry level Onkyos are not know for strenght in music listening, of the Onkyos I heard, the best sounding in the entry level is Onkyo604, the anniversarry series, which i use to own and the 605.
some mid level units does not sound great too in music or two channel audio listening, but it really depends on your taste as what sound bad to one may sound good to another. The best sounding i heard in both music and movie is Denon 1910, in fact even the 1610 and yamaha 863.

Thanks to your inputs Sir Onkyo606! Actually I'm also considering the Denon 1610. Ask ko lng po how it performs? Detailed ba ang sound? Ang hindrance ko lng dito is 75watts lng sya, I'm planning pa naman to get the Polk TSI 300. I'm not sure that this amp might not give enough power. First time ko kc mg-build ng HT.

^^^^ that is more than enough power to drive the tsi300 ...... i have driven that particular speaker model before using yamaha 65Watts per channel .....

Thanks to your inputs Sir Onkyo606! Actually I'm also considering the Denon 1610. Ask ko lng po how it performs? Detailed ba ang sound? Ang hindrance ko lng dito is 75watts lng sya, I'm planning pa naman to get the Polk TSI 300. I'm not sure that this amp might not give enough power. First time ko kc mg-build ng HT.
Add a little bit more on the price of Denon 1610 and you get HarmanKardon160. Better sounding in terms of music and comparable with Denon 1910 for HT. Bias ako kasi ito yung napili ko na AVR versus Denon1910 and Onkyo607 when I was looking for one. ;D
-
Malapit na ma dead kaya ang luma kung amp?
Ano kaya ang problema nang receiver ko ht-r490 medyo kapareho nang 494 wala lang headphone out.
minsan pawala wala ang sound pag ang gamit ko na inputs ay digital,analog sources
except multi channel inputs lang ang gumagana
medyo matagal na ito 2001 pa ata ngayun may topak na.
dsp/preamp/bad cap/etc... kaya problem sa dsp board ?
kahit radio wala :(
kailangan mo pang e off then turn on uli pero after a couple of minutes balik uli
pawawala na naman sounds. :(
kaya ang gamit ko na input multi channel lang.. :(
-
Thanks to your inputs Sir Ment and Gunslinger! I'll take note of that. I'll try to audition these AVRs to personally hear the differences.
-
I'm having second thoughts of including the Onkyo 508 in my options. I've read in another forum that some people are having handshaking issues with this model, most noticeably with the PS3.
Anyone else experienced this?

Sir Gunslinger ask ko lang what speakers you partnered with HK 160?
-
I'm using A-audio speakers. Used to be a little bright and forward paired with Yamaha pero it matched well with the HK.

bro ganyan na ganyan din yung sony str-de845 ko na nabili nung 2001 -- may tama ang digital board kaya 5.1 input na lang ang gumagana.
sowie sa OT.

kala ko sa onkyo lang ang may problem na ganito. kahit sony pala.
pero ngayun ok na naman. almost 7 hrs na ako nakikinig, ang pahinga kasi nito pag tulog na ako hahahaha.

Was interested in getting an onkyo 608 until I read the latest issue of home theater magazine Aug 2010.
They've tested the 608 with:
Five channels driven continuously into 8-ohm loads
0.1% distortion at 82.3 watts
1% distortion at 84.7 watts
Seven channels driven continuously into 8-ohm loads
0.1% distortion at 30.9 watts
1% distortion at 40.1 watts
I just noticed that onkyo rates their avrs at two channels. This avr still got a top pick award and scored high but the wattage bothers me when running 7 channels

My first post in this forum. I just upgraded my old Sony 5.1 HTIB (circa Y2k) to my new set up:
Onkyo 608
PSB Alpha B1 Front
PSB Alpha C1 Center
PSB 5i Sub
Jamo A102 Surround
Era Design 3 Front High
Very happy with my 608 together with the speaker set up that I got. I've read reviews about the heat build up issues with Onkyo but this was suppose to have been resolved with this model. First time to own an Onkyo so I wouldn't have a point of comparison. However my AVR is in a well ventilated rack and just gets warm to touch even after having it on for practically the whole day.
I recycled my old Sony surround stands and modified it to fit the Jamo A102s which was meant to be wall mounted. All it took was a couple of nuts and bolts and new holes drilled in the mount.
-
Just ordered the Onkyo HT-RC180 from a friend on this forum, thank you Philip. Can't wait to get my hands on this beast. Need to find a couple of speakers to turn my setup into 9.1 now. Thanks for your advice onkyo606, it was invaluable and much appreciated.
Pity that the 608 has such low values when 7.1. I'm pretty certain that the 605 retains very high wattage values, even when driving 7 speakers.

congrats in advance sir steve. you wouldnt go wrong with the HTRC180, I have been enjoying this for about 6 months now. it sounds really good with the MA speakers, try to enjoy the 5.1 set up for like two weeks then get the front wide that way you get to appreciate more the expansive sound with the front wide.

What would you recommend, Front Wides or Front Height? I love the idea of the VOG (Voice Of God) channel. Movies such as Black Hawk Down and Fight Club would sound awesome using it.

front wide have been the more expansive. it gives you the feeling of having a wider listening area and makes you feel you are virtually inside the scene. even in the onkyo 807 discussions in avsforums, most if not all owners of HTRC180 and NR807 owners love the front wide set up.strongly recommended is to use speakers of the same series or the same family
-
Thanks for the warm welcome. Yes, the SQ difference is light years compared to my old system. I felt like a kid during X'mas when I had the stack of boxes of the gear I got lying around the room waiting to be set up. I got a lot of flak from the wife aka commander in chief when she walked in and saw all of these.
So I just kept my cool and let her just blab away knowing well that I still had an ace up my sleeve. When everything had been set up and calibrated (took half a day), I had her sit at the sweet spot (she was still blabbing away) and fired up the blue ray player with her favorite scene in her current favorite disk - MJ's "This is It." The expansion of her eyes coupled with the dropping of her jaw on cue when the audio blasted through my system was just priceless!!! :)
-
Mga HT guru ok po ba ang onkyo HT-RC260? Parang katulad din po kasi ng 608 without THX. Mas mura po kasi sya. Meron na po ba nkabili nito dito sa PDVD? Saan po kya meron nito? TIA...

hi guys,
I also just got the onkyo 608 last week, and have tried out movies and gaming. oliver's guys helped me set up the unit, i use infinity speakers(sattelites). the setting is almost on the default, except for speaker calibration, center +2, surrounds +4, watching movies in this thing was great, every detail from the killbill v1 was there swords, effects, and vocals.
For gaming we use xbox and ps3 and it was just like you were there in the action especially in the 5.1 games.
On the reliability side, the avr was on for most of the day, the avr is quite warm but not that you get scortched, bit cooler than the xbox! hehehe
Very happy with the reciever. Was considering Denon 1911, but when i checked the specs went for the onkyo, and heard that onkyo receivers seldom have trouble.
-
yeah. i had a 608 just a month ago. it was awesome for movies but a bit lacking in music. it also only had 2eq while the 2310 has multieq.. anyways congrats ! :D
-
lesly camara ikaw ba yan? hahaha lenard to! yeah got the 608 last week hehe, seldom play music dun, mostly movies and ps3, xbox and concert sold yours na? dati denon 2310 din gusto ko kaso taas price denon and features medyo dated na. whats your avr now?
-

i was able to get hold of the onkyo 606 last week. i connected it to my bluray player using digital coaxial. i was trying a bluray movie cant get it to do dts hd

mga sirs ask ko lang recently aquired the pioneer d610 and connected it via my onkyo 608 how come na yung video settings of the pioneer kaya lang niya up to 1080i at pag nilagay ko sa 1080p eh nag blue screen na siya.
is there a setting in the ampli that i should do para both the input and the output is 1080p?
Thanks mga gurus....

DV610 is 1080P capable,is your TV 1080P capable or HD ready?
by the way im using DV610 too but I set the DV610 to the lowest at 480I and let the Onkyo do the upscaling as it has a better upscaler in Faroudjia, what i did is set my Onkyo AVR to upscale to 720P as my plasma is only HD ready, this set up provides the best PQ for me.i also set my NMT ot the lowest setting and similarly, let the AVR upscale.
HTH.

Most probably your TV can't handle 1080p. I still have an old LCD( probably around 5 years) and it's only capable of 720p/1080i. When I set my media player to 1080p, i get a blank screen.
-
thanks sir beefy, but my tv is toshiba RV600 this can handle 1080p for sure... ano po kaya problem?
Thanks for the advise sir onkyo 606 will try to take a look at that set up... also will do it for my popcorn hour a200 and i will see the difference when i let the onkyo do the upscaling...
still im just bothered why my toshiba RV600 cant detect the 1080P resolution ???

the link tested dv610 with the TV you were metioning and it doesnt have any issues, maybe its just a matter of setting, try to tinker back again
http://www.pinoydvd.com/index.php?topic=107845.0
but like i said, id rather set the DVD player to the lowest resolution and set the Onkyo to the higest resoltuion as i find the upscaler faroudjia better thah that of the NMT and the DVD player

hi sir onkyo606,
question, the plastic covers on the speaker post for the banana plugs, whats the best way to remove? hirap tangalin e. kala ko nung una yun na yung hole for the plug and thought it was small

I'm not familiar with the equipment that you are using but you can isolate the problem by connecting it directly to your tv. Is your pch a200, set at 1080p, working with the onkyo?

Hi guys, thanks for the tip on the cover of the speaker post, malaking help yung advise niyo.
One more thing, almost same question ni wacksy, i ran hdmi from ps3 to avr, then to tv. hindi din lumabas image. what could be wrong sa settings? what i did i reset the reso sa ps3 and set to 720p, and sa set up through lang sa receiver, gumana, pero pag try mo upscale wala labas.
What seems to be the prob kaya? any suggestions guys?
-

yup thats why i wonder the a200 works well even at 1080p resolution both input and output but the d610 is only up to 1080i.
just did the advise of sir onkyo606 and just made the receiver the upscaler for now and maganda naman ang resolution niya ;D

actually kagawad iiinas was the one who taught me to do the upscaling through the receiver kase nga mas superior yung faroudjia eh, when i tried it, i never looked back mas vivid at lively yung colors
happy to hear nagustuhan mo din yung result, enjoy ;)
-
hi guys,
One thing having problem with, pag hook up ko ps3 sa avr thru hdmi at times hindi lumalabas pic, minsan meron.
I tried resetting the setting sa ps3 to 720p and reso ng avr at thru, gumana and lumabas pic, pero if you set the avr to auto-upscale screen goes blank.
What seems to be the prob? any tips?
-
Just the other day...I noticed my 805 is 'skipping' or 'blinking' with a slight pause on the audio while playing Audio CD's on my Pio DV 610. Its happening like every 6 to 7 seconds..quite annoying.
But when I play DVD's...everything is normal. I checked back again with other Audio CD's....they are all doing the same.
What could have I possible done? I hope it is just some settings. My daughter might have pushed some buttons. It does not do it also when it is set on 'tuner'.
-
earlier, i was on an onkyo shop and was looking over an onkyo 308 (P21K) and a 507 (P24K) and while inquiring with the personnel, what kinda stuck in my mind was what he said:
"when hooking up the BD player to the onkyo receiver, the audio decoders of the bd player will be off automatically and the on-board audio decoders of the receiver will take over. besides, the on-board decoder of the receiver is superior to the audio decoder of the bd-player ???"
another thing, he said that if i'm going to get the onkyo 308 and pair it with a floorstanding speakers, the power might not be sufficient. ???
paki-explain lang po mga gurus
TIA
PS
on another shop, they were selling an Onkyo HTIB with a receiver ht-r670. it has 7 speakers. the store owner said that the subwoofer got damaged. they were selling it for about P21K.
-
Hi Othan,
If you are talking about the 308 yes the receiver will time driving the speakers lalo na if it is florr standing and has 150w capacity, usually i know floor standers have min 120w at 6ohms, the 308 specs is a good match with bookshelf speakers, if it is hooked up with a florr stander with hi wattage it might be overworked and would not be recommended.
I also wanted to get the 508 before, when this was explained to me, i opted for the 608, medyo stretched my budget for it though at 30800.
-
Congrats adonph sa 608. Welcome to the club.
-
thanks for the greeting wacksy,
Musta yung sayo? Iam still using default setting kasi hindi pa final yung area na pagagamitan.
I paired the avr with sattelites though, infinity for now. Looking for wharfs sana, question ok ba yung 8.3? floor standers. Being paired with wh2 package.

hi Othan, in short your AV receiver will be the heart & brain of your system, let the AVR do the upscaling & audio adjustment.

608 user here too. using it with B&W 685s for fronts, htm62 for centers and 686 for rears. also have velodynes for subs. love the laid back sound compared with denon and hk which is too harsh for my ears. hindi masakit sa tenga at nakakasawa yung tunog after several hours of use.
-

Hi, got mine sa listen up, megamall. look for toby, mini if nandun oliver ask him. he will give you a great deal.

Yes, thats what i noticed too. i was originally going for the denon 2310 or 11, pero when i compared and listened to both units, settled for the 608. Halos all details sa movie makuha mo, sa denon parang may kulang ng konti, although its a good receiver mas ok features sa 608, and the thx helps hehehe.
panisn niyo hindi na siya that hot when running for hours

Sorry for the late reply as I was out of town. I am fairly new also in this as i just started my system last march. Haven't tried the 8 series but according to reviews it's good. Used my 608 before with 9.3s which is like the 8.3s in a 5.1 setup and had no problem. My setup now is 9.5 for fronts, 9cs for center, 9.1s for surrounds and 10dfs for back surrounds. Rounding it off with my velo impact 12 for my sub. This was the setup that left me satisfied ( for now hehe) so i don't think you will go wrong with the 8.3s. Just make sure you pair the speakers with the same brand for center and surround coz IMHO that is more important.
-
Hehehe, thanks for the advice wacksy, mukang yun wharfs na ako, 8.3 front, 9cm center and still looking for rear, no stock 9dfs e. my sub is a jamo 200.

Hehehe, thanks for the advice wacksy, mukang yun wharfs na ako, 8.3 front, 9cm center and still looking for rear, no stock 9dfs e. my sub is a jamo 200.
yups that the reason why i bought na already the 10dfs kasi hirap na maghanap ng stock ng 9dfs... ok na yung set up mo. you can either wait na may magbenta ng used the 9dfs and use muna yung 3.1 set up mo. or you can complete it na with the 10dfs mura lang din naman siya. value for money talaga mga wharfes...

@wacksy1021 How is your 608 when it comes to music listening? Plan to pair it muna with wharf 9.1 at first. Thanks...
-
Wacksy,
Thanks for the advice, yep ok sa price ang wharfs, the others kasi medyo mataas na like b&w and paradigm, went around manila na to canvass stocks, sayang nga yung isang seller na nagbenta ng 9cs and9dfs, naunahan tayo hehehe.
One thing lang i heard from oliver ng listen up, he told me to remove speaker covers of 8.3, dahil tumatama daw yung woofers pag umaandar speakers due to the design. Do you use it nakabukas.
Ohter than that ganda daw talaga diamond series

if you can still afford to get the wharf Pi 10 and Pi center, its sounds way better than the diamond 9 or even 10 series at least based on my own experience, i used to own both and when i had the chance to get a Pi 10 i diposed the 9.5.
i sold my Pi 10 and Pi center for around 12.5K if im not mistaken

hi onkyo 606,
Thanks for the info, do they still have this model? i saw one here sa site but the front lang.
-
hi onkyo 606,
Thanks for the info, do they still have this model? i saw one here sa site but the front lang.
maybe tough to find but can be found try asking for a demo sa listening room, they still have a NOS of that one although being sold at 13K yata yung front lang at least you get an idea how it sounds and if your OK wiht it, you can post in the looking for section im sure maerong mag bebenta nyan
-
Thanks bro onkyo606 for the tips,
sige will go around and look, then post ako for looking, hehehe.
will check around.

@wacksy1021 How is your 608 when it comes to music listening? Plan to pair it muna with wharf 9.1 at first. Thanks...
Ok lang naman to pair it first with the 9.1 sir kasi eventually when you decide to purchase floor standers you can still use them for either side surrounds (which is what i use) or back surrounds (though i prefer the smoother sounds of the DFS.
main usage ko kasi talaga pare is HT and gaming. But when ever i use it for my cd playing or Ipod ok naman ang tunog niya sa akin... though i must admit I am not an audiophile to know the difference but even when i play soft music or loud stuff it still keeps me entertained which for me is the more important part.
good luck sir sa pag setup..

i know this thread is for AV receivers. just need some help with my Onkyo integrated amp which has an issue. (The input selector switch (dial) wants to do it's own switching. this happens any time the power is on; or what the dial is switched to. example: phono; tuner; CD or tape.) does this also happens to Onkyo AVRs? Does anyone know where i could have it serviced and how much will it cost me, or if its worth fixing? thanks.

I just know that the Philippine distributor for Onkyo is Toyama thats were i bought my 608 they have an office in west avenue malapit lang sa stackbucks west ave. maybe you can try to call them for this.

@ wacksy1021 thank you very much for response/review. Now it helps me to settle on Onkyo. Maybe this August will buy na to ease my audio cravings...hehehe ;D
-
hi shodgreat,
hehehe, welcome in advance sa onkyo people hehehe. You will enjoy your purchase, any purchase you do naman with your decision is great.
dali pa setup, wharfs ba gagamitin mo? oks yan. I was planning to get wharfs din sana pero ended up with Gale standers and gale spkrs.
Let us know pag nasayo na 608!!!!

Pasali po, I'm currently using 606 w/c I bought from Sir Simple. I'm very satisfied with it's performance (for now hehehe) iwas SARS muna ko for 2 years kung kakayanin ko ::) Paired it with Anthony's Proac clone Floorstander & JBL Northridge N- Center MK II ---3.1 lang muna.
-
Makikisali lang din.. to those who bought 608, aside from the THX is there a big diff from 508?, in terms of performance and power?.. how also is the power consumptionl? malakas ba sa kuryente, I heard 600 watts daw ang 608.. NOOB here.. tnx in advance..
-
hi,
congrats to all onkyo owners, onkyo naman ok, ang advice sakin receivers should be paired with dynamic speakers para ok, important satisfied kayo sa bili and decision.
Ang diff sa 508, medyo madami. upscaling, 7.2, 175w @ 6 ohms, gui, 6hdmi.
I was supposed to get the 508 din, but when i did comparison streched budget to 608.
Consumption yes, 650w. medyo malakas depends on speakers
hope that helped ;D

Sa pagkakaalam ko po, 650w is in full volume.

to the 608 users, have you experienced the screen going blank/black and quickly coming back on while watching a movie? there's a clicking sound from the 608 as it goes black as if the tv turns off for a split-second.

I experienced this w/ other avr's but quickly resolved when I changed the hdmi cable. Try replacing the cable, it might be the culprit. HTH. ;D

Guys just want to ask right now i'm still using my Onkyo 607 but would like to upgrade it to onkyo 608 worth it ba ang upgrade tnxs
-
I have been reading this thread and it is the main reason why i bought an onkyo 508. However, after enjoying everything for two days and when I linked up my front surrounds last night, the amp suddenly turns off and the red led blinks. the manual says, unplug it and redo all the wirings. I did just that but still after a few minutes of playing, the amp turns off.
What have I been doing wrong? Asar naman. Please help anyone.
-

IMHO, unless you can sell your 607 at a very god price to get the 608 i think the upgrade is not that much compared to lets say you have been using a 307 or 507 before and upgraded to the 608.

Beware my fellow PDVD brothers and sisters. I hope you do not get an onkyo 508 lemon unit like i did. Was able to enjoy it for 3 days then last night it started shutting off on its own for a few minutes of use. Finally, today it was totally silent. No sound coming out of it. Totally nada.
I hope the dealer does some influence over the supplier and do an outright replacement of the unit. Will not divulge its identity first. I will allow the dealer to work on it muna.
Please also ensure that your dealer can give a 7 day replacement policy for a lemon unit should you get one.

thanks much for the advise, M planning to purchase 508 next week and ur message is just in time.. 608 is out of my budget, appreciate ko muna lower model before upgrade siguro.. let us know for any updates..

wow.....scary!
i'm glad i bought my unit from a reputable dealer and a friend. if ever there's a problem...they are just 1 call away unlike buying from just a regular seller/member here from which i bought a brand new tube amp which conked out in less than a month or probably less than 10 hours of use. i'm not even asking for a warranty or replacement but just directions or recommendations where i can have it fixed but he's not answering my pm or request even though i see him regularly post here. :(

Another lemon onkyo unit here. I own a 507 used it for a year and just today my unit is dead. While watching a movie it suddenly turn off. The red light is blinking and there is a clicking sound. I unplug the unit and unplug all the cables connected hoping it was just a cable problem. But no luck! After plugging it again to a power outlet the red light blinks and immediately you can hear a clicking sound. Too bad my unit is out of warranty.... >:(
anyone with same problem? Any resolution?

I just want to inform everybody that my dealer replaced my onkyo 508 and delivered last night. I was able to enjoy my system since last night. But for future buyers, please verify replacement policy.

I try to reset my 507 a couple of times. after resetting it still wont work.Then before going to work i decided to give my 507 one more try and it will work. ;). Now i was thinking getting an avr for my receiver and other components.

Power surge issue kaya talga yan sir?
Another question. I notice that If I turn off my onkyo 508, the light indicator is on HDMI thru not on the standby indicator. Can anybody explain why please
Thank you so much.

Hello mga master newbie Onkyo 607 user here. So far satisfied ako sa performance ma pa movies or music. By the way ang speakers ko are wharfedale 9.5 for fronts, 9cs center, 9.1 for rear and SVS PB10NSD for sub. But some say that Onkyo pairs good with Mission speakers and others since wharfedale is warm sounding and onkyo too. The only comment is that sa movies medyo mahina yung 9cs center not sure kung dahil sa placement kaya mahina kasi sobrang below ear level yung placement niya. Any suggestions mga master? Tama ba ang hinala ko? Thanks

Hello good eve, I am very interested sa onkyo but I am here in Davao City and there is no sign of onkyo here. Can anyone please help if naga ship ba to davao ito?? We are transferring to a new house and it would really nice If I would be able to buy this onkyo product/products kasi I heard a lot of good things about this brand . thanks!

I notice the following issues with my abovementioned unit:
1. When I turn it off, the standby light does not lit up. The hdmi thru light indicator is the one that lit up. Why is this so?
2. I notice that when I watch blu ray discs and maximize the true hd master format, there are intermittent sound loss in between scenes. Bigla na lang nawawala ang sound tapos babalik ulit.
What could be the issue here? I hope it is not a problematic unit again.
thanks so much pdvd.
-
for the loss of sound issue, i think this would be an issue with your hdmi cable, i also experience audio drop-outs with my 806 when playing hddvd titles, although to be honest, i have not experience any audio drop outs when playing blurays or files through my nmt.
as for the standby light not turning on, that is an issue, you might want to have your unit check.

1. Because your HDMI Control (RIHD) and power control functions are enabled. Try turning these off and see what happens. This is not an issue. It's just that when the HDMI pass through function activates in standby mode, the HDMI THRU indicator, instead of the standby lamp, will light up.
2. Recheck your digital connections. Cable replacement might be necessary.

Your explanation is a relief. I will try to adjust the settings na lang for my RIHD and power control. Thank you very much.

All these issues, solved now.
1. For the audio loss, I replaced the hdmi cable and no problem experienced after.
2. For the HDMI pass thru light indicator, I put the audio control to "Off" and the standby mode lights up now when turning the power off.
thanks so much to those who shared their thoughts.

Let me start off by saying I am a life long fan of Onkyo. But as I am buying new Whafedales I am keeping an open mind to find which brand of receiver matches best with them. Here is an interesting demo and I hope it does not bore you.
Ok....pulled the trigger and got the Diamond 9 series. My fronts are the 9.6 and am doing demos to see which receiver matches best. Started my demo and observing was a fellow DVD member, sir ShogDGreat. We got to chatting and he joined me as he was there to buy a pair of Diamond 9.1's and also came to demo receivers with an eye on figuring out which would match up best with Wharfs. (He actually told me he was most interested in Denon and that was his objective today....to see how they matched up with the 9.1.)We demoed Pioneer, Yamaha, Onkyo and then Denon. Shog also brought his friends and family who took interest in our demo. Let me start off by saying that all of us agreed on the best of the bunch as well as those that were not. I can not tell you all the model numbers but remember prices But perhaps Shog can shed some lite as well.
At the bottom of the list and what was most UNIMPRESSIVE was the Denon and very close to that was the Yamaha. I WILL ADD THAT OF THE 4 RECEIVERS THESE TWO WERE THE MOST EXPENSIVE! The Pioneer (VSX-520 5.1) which was the cheapest in price was not bad at all in fact it was less than 1/2 the price of the previous two tested. Shog and I were impressed with the revealing detail yeilded by this entry level receiver. This left me wanting to her more from Pioneer but a higher end 7.1 unit. We next demoed the Onkyo and without going in to the long story...simply put.... The best reciever for the "objective of matching them with warfs" was by far the Onkyo 507. It created a driving force in these wharfs that was lacking in the previous three. The highs and lows all came together. The base was so tight and pronounced that shog and I imediately turned to one another and commented. The demo was over.
Of these 4 brands we listened to there was a "hands down" clear winner. Onkyo by a country mile. I soon left Shog and his crew but not before he told me that the 9.1's and the Onkyo 507 were going home with him. I guess Shog found his "pefect match".
And I am getting closer to finding the reciever to make my Wharfs sing!
.
Hi Mr dannielsimone. Actually the one we auditioned was Onkyo 508 not 507. At first im eyeing on Denon 1611 which is 3d ready just like 508. When I arrived in S&S, Mr danniel was there and auditioning the pioneer at first. Then i ask one of the staff to audition the Denon 1611. Mr danniel got my attention when he played his demo cd (def leppard) which is one of my favorite rock band. That time he was auditioning the onkyo 508 and i was impressed by the sound coming from wharf 9.4 and mirage omni subwoofer. The slam was very good for me and the detail is just fine for my ears. Then we test the yamaha for comparison and the yamaha was too far for onkyo. Both receivers was tested using their default settings in tone control. I found the yamaha lacking of treble and the slam is not as good as onkyo. Then I said to danniel to try the denon 1611. Then when we played again the same music, i was disappointed. I thought 1611 will sound good because of the reviews i read about 1610. The bass was not there just like there is no sub. Then we ask Mr jhun of S&S that maybe there is something wrong with the setup. Then he said every setup are identical. He check the sub, settings and it is set on yes. Maybe denon will sound good if you will do some tweaking in its tone control. However the detail of the denon is just ok for me.
So my rating for the 4 receivers will be:
1. Onkyo 508
2. Pioneer 520 (if im not mistaken)
3. Denon 1611
4. Yamaha (?)
This is just only for my own preference maybe what is good for me may not be good for others. That's why always audition first before you buy.
I was ended to bring the onkyo 508, wharf 9.1 and omni s10 mirage subwoofer...... Grin Grin Grin
I would like to thanks PDVD for educating me in this hobby and also to Mr dannielsimone in choosing my first HT......So far im very happy to my purchase.

SO GUYS...ANY OF YOU ONKYO FANS USING WHARFEDALES? I AM THINKING ABOUT DOING A HEAD TO HEAD DEMO BETWEEN THE ONKYO 508/608 VS THE HIGHER END PIONEER 920 OR 1020?
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
-
mr. danniel simone: I too have onkyo 508. I paired with polk tsi 300 and cs10 and wharfedale dipole surround. I am loving every sound of it.
Just be sure that your onkyo unit do not conk on you the way it did with mine several days after its purchase.
Other than that, enjoy your system especially with true hd audio settings in some bluray discs. Heaven for me.

For the record it was SHOGDGREAT that actually bought the 508. I am still auditioning. ;D

try to check out in the net, top 10 receiver and you will be surprised Pioneer 1019 is number one im sure 1020 have the same flat form and would sound as great, cost is around 40K.
by the way for whatever its worth, set your expectations accordingly, the way things sounded in the store may not be the same as it will sound in your listening room area. I used to have an Onkyo606 with wharfe 9.5 as front and though its a tad better that the JAMO SR606 i used to have before, issue with 9.5 is the inate boominess and the somewhat lack of strong high frequency(not sure kung yan ang tamange term) the boominess though can only be heard kung naka pure audio and direct setting ka without using the subwoofer, but wiht settings that set the front to 80hz and the sub engaged, i dont have any complaints
good luck on your quest.

Hi am gonna pull the trigger this weekend on an Onkyo but have been reading on a few different boards about compatibility issues with PS3 via HDMI connection. Some are with the 608 but more so with the 508. Are these issues still a problem? Are they software issues? Have they been fixed? (My kids will hate me if they can not play on the weekends).
-
Using onkyo 608 no problem with hdmi connection.

I got an Onkyo TX-SR700 + Onkyo DV-SP500 for my my folks circa 2002 (as their combined birthday present).
It's still alive and well up to now.
I think the issues with these babies is power fluctuation/surges. A/V Receivers are basically half computer half amp.
The amp part may be rugged but the computer that drives everything else in it is not.
Almost returned it to the dealer after a week because of weird noises and behaviors (will shut down in the middle of the movie,DTS wont work even if selected) until I used an el cheapo voltage regulator meant for the computer.
the weird noises died and so did the odd behavior.
I took out the PC regulator and replaced it with a servo type regulator and now the onkyo combo is celebrating its 8th year this month.
wisdom learned = treat your A/V receiver like a computer, not like a typical stereo amp of yesteryears.

Well, my Onkyo HT-RC180 Receiver will finally be in my hands tomorrow. I cant wait to get my grubby little hands on it.

Bought the 707 and got a good deal. Am slowly setting it up. I have sky cable in my living room (no digi box )and the picture does not look great going directly to my new 50 inch plasma. ( PQ on the 50 is worse than on my 42PV80 ::) I do have a sky digi box in my office. But as we all know this has no HDMI connection. So is it a good idea to run the sky cable direct without digi box thru the 707 ? How is the PQ doing so?
Should I use a digi box and composite cable and run thru the 707? Will it improve the analog/digi PQ?
What is your set up?
Any feedback would be most appreciated.
Tnx

for me, worth ang $200 savings ng RC180. but having an extra 25w/ch is also good w/ the 807. i don't need the rest of the extra features of the 807.

My AVR is an omni 1500 Watt Servo Motor Control. Am running a Onkyo 707, Wharfdale 5.1, (Mirrage Omnis10 Sub), Panny 50c10, PS3 and DVD player. Connected to the AVR are two "Panther voltage surge protector with line filter". All companents are plugged in to these line filters. Is this set up OK or are my components at risk? Am I missing something?

estimates:
onkyo 707 = 600 watts
panasonic c10 = 250 watts
ps3 = 200 watts
mirage sub = 150-200 watts
total would be 1250 which is still below 1500 watts of your omnis. read a lot that typically, it would be safer if the components plugged is not more than 70% of the voltage regulator's rated power so that it has enough head room to operate. so 70% of 1500 would be 1050 watts.
if its possible it would be better to get a 1000 watter just for the onkyo, and have all else plugged in on the 1500 watter.

Mga Sirs Question lang po regarding sa Audessey Calibaration.
I am using the following for my System:
1. Onkyo TX-SR507
2. Wharfedale 9.1 and 9CS
3. Polk Audio DSW Pro 500
Upon running the calibaration from the reciever may specific value po ba na dapat ma reach i.e. all speaker values should be near the 0dB level?
First time ko kasi mag set up using the Audessey and I noticed the parang humina yung system after calibration.
Thanks for your feedbacks.

How loud did/do you set your receiver volume before/after running Audyssey?
-
Around 45 Sir, then after calibaration napansin ko na lang humina yung output ng Onkyo.

Around 45 Sir, then after calibaration napansin ko na lang humina yung output ng Onkyo.
You mean -45db? Oks lang yan bro. Audyssey tries to harmonize all of your speakers para balanced sila. I usually listen to around -15db to -30db level. There are a lot of factors to consider like amp power, speaker efficiency, media files, room size and etc. Kaya iba iba yung volume adjustments ng different systems. Ang importante is, gumanda yung tunog after audyssey even if you have to raise the volume a bit higher.

Any HT 260 users here? I heard its almost similar to 608 minus the THX and pc input but cheaper by $100. Is the THX feature really important?

Nope, not in my book. You have to be THX certified all the way. Even the room.
THX is a certification process meant to standardize the listening experience so that theater goers will experience the same thing in any THX certified theater anywhere on earth. But for the home, its benefits can be lost as different room accoustics will make even the same set of gears sound differently. It's a minimum standard at best and there are gears that are not THX certified that are better sounding than those that are.

Thanks for the info sir :)

THX is not a technology, but a set of certification standards.
-
actually there is a thx implementation of dpl2 and dts neo that are called thx movies / thx music...
-
I watched Fight Club in 7.1 and the entire room was shaking during the Plane and Car crash scenes. Truly ground shaking. Beautiful man
-
Hope someone could help identify the possible problem in this scenario:
Setup:
Onkyo 608
HDPro through HDMI
42PV80
Acer H5260
Monoprice HDMI splitter
Sky Cable digibox through composite
Am using the splitter so I don't have to switch cables everytime I change displays from the Plasma and the projector. However, I notice that I sometimes have to remove and replace the HDMI cable on the back of the AVR before the light of the splitter turns on. Also, I don't get a signal from the splitter when its set to Cable. Sound comes out of the AVR but video is not outputted to the splitter.
When the good people from SGT home theater installed the set, they were able to have the video pass through the splitter and output on both screens.
Any ideas on what I should do? Haven't had too much time to tinker with things yet but I'll post more info once I've tried a few other things.

nahilo ako sa current 3d ready lineup ng onkyo...
so what is the equivalent model of the 3d ready onkyo to the onkyo 876?

i dont think meron brader waxx, 875 is the older model and 876 is the newer one, both are monsters and can cream easily the latest models, yung 876 yata naka wolfson dac tapos na hqv reon video upscaler thx ultra2 certified
yung 3d ng onkyo now 708, 808, 1008, the only thing it can boats about is the 3d and the network capability in fact according to some articles i read in some forums, the 08 series practically downgraded features compared to the 07 series
may lalabas yat na 5008 or meron na nga?

Brader better to get Onkyo 508 if you can stretch your budget a little, nasa 23K nalang nowadays. I got mine from SnS last month and Im enjoying with it. Wharf 10.5 requires more power kaya better to get higher power receiver.
Beginner din ako kaya I start mine with Onkyo 508, wharf 9.1 and omni s10 sub. By next year, plan ko bumili ng center (9CS) and fronts (9.5 or 9.6). 9.1 will be my rears then. IMHO mas importante ang sub kesa rears you can feel the rumble and shaking, w/o sub di mo masyado feel ang HT.... ;D ;D ;D

This is not a rant. Just wanted to know if anybody else had a similar problem.
Got a 608 about more than a month ago. Its video output was connected to a splitter which is connected to a panny plasma and my pj. Upon initial installation, i was able to see the menus on the tv/pj. When I got home the same day but after the installers have already left, I couldn't get video from my sky cable digibox to display. I also couldn't get the pj/tv to display the menu. I initially thought this was a handshake issue between the splitter and the AVR. Since the display worked fine with HDMI sources, I just plugged in my digibox to the input of my media player/dvr and was pretty happy watching videos and movies for a couple of weeks. Was too lazy to try a direct connection since the cables were somewhat neatly tied up already.
About 2 weeks ago, I tried installing my xde 500. Initially, while trying to watch Master and Commander, there was sound during the introduction to the menu screen but upon playing the movie sound died. I left it to play while I was dressing up. I suddenly heard the loud sounds of one of the battle scenes. I went down to lower the volume and was able to watch and finish a different dvd after. The next night, we tried watching a different DVD. A couple of minutes into the movie, we heard static which was getting louder. I paused the movie and when I tried playing it again... no more sound. I still thought it was a problem with the DVD player so I shut it down and changed it with my Pioneer. When I played the pio, there was sound already. But since my wife got sleepy from waiting for me fix it, we didn't watch any further. I thought it was really just the DVD player until the next night, the same thing happened. The store where i bought it from told me to try to test tone. I had to wait for it to happen again to try it, but true enough, no sound even during test tone and from all other sources. Plus, my xde works fine with my Denon.
Brought it in to the store that sold me the unit who brought the unit to Toyama. A week after, they told me that it had something to do with the HDMI board or DSP board. (They mentioned both, don't know if they were connected or the same.) In any case, I find out that it might take up to 2 months to get the parts. Has anything similar happened to anybody else here? Was I really that "lucky" to get a lemon?
They advised me that it might have been caused by unplugging and plugging in of HDMI cables while the Unit was on. While I don't really do it that much, there was a problem with the unit since the video output gets dislodged very easily so I often times have to tighten the connections. I wonder how you can test if the connections are tight enough if they're not plugged in.
Anyway, hope they can sort it out soon. More or less a month of use tapos ganon agad. Di ko tuloy alam if its a good thing that I got it locally. On one hand, warranty. On the other hand, if I bought it from abroad, I probably would have gotten a good unit at a cheaper price. ???

Is this happenning while using the NMT only? Have you tried using other NMT?
-
My friend had some issue with his 508 locally purchased.... Ganun din nangyari ata nawala sound bigla dunno why....
Check mo forum nalang sa ibang bansa .... It has something to do ata with power... Is your unit connected sa AVR?
If only you still have the unit... Try mo unplug yung 608 unit muna ata .... Yun ang best recollection ko sa suggestion
Naku mas kamote pag nangyari sa akin yun .... No local warranty :( Seems these models are sensitive to power quality yata ??
oh firmware upgrading might have helped as well .... pero since toyama detected it as a hardware issue eh lucky lotto winner ka lang siguro :(
Hey!!! they should replace it outright! pwedeng kasuhan sa DTI yan!
-

No. It first happened while using my xde 500 then the same thing with my pio 610. Same thing happened when I switched sources to my NMT. So amp talaga problema.

Unit wasn't connected to the power outlet of the AVR.
As for outright replacement... before I took it in to Toyama, the dealer already informed me na out of stock na ata 608 until December pa raw.
Medyo swerte pa sila that medyo good mood pa ako about this. When they were telling me about not unplugging and plugging in the hdmi cables while the unit was on, I thought it was a prelude to not honoring the warranty. In any case... hassle lang. I have a separate setup in my bedroom but the problem is I can't use my PJ unless I decide to transfer my 1709 to my HT setup.
-
my point is what is the use of paying the big premium for the warranty? kasi nga diba we want peace of mind? eh making you wait for a month or two, is that giving peace of mind??
unfortunately for us this is not the USA. if it were, yari sila ... bad practice yan ginagawa nila. Still i suggest talk to someone sa DTI and know your rights. exercise them.
back to topic .... ah baka yun lag ang problem kaya? baka need lang AVR

Mga Sirs,
I'm comparing 608 and 708 online, I noticed the following differences:
708 with push-pull design amplifier and Audyssey DSX while 608 doesn't have these.
My question is, will the absence of these feature significantly affect SQ? Locally, the price difference is 14K medyo malaki. Please mga sirs, I need your inputs.
For those who own the 608, your impressions will be highly appreciated
Salamat po. :)

Audyssey DSX creates a more expansive soundstage and creates an impression of a bigger listening room when engaged. Audyssey DSX allows you to add Front Height and Front Wide speaker but you can only activate one at a time. Definitely better listening pleasure with Audyssey DSX but more expensive as you need to buy at least another pair of front speaker of the same series as the main front speaker. Unless you have room wide enough, Audyssey DSX might not be that significant because there is a speacified placement lay out.

Yun nga sir Onkyo ang dilemma ko eh, whether to get 708 abroad for 34k or buy the 608 locally at 31k. Di pa po sumasagot si sir Dom eh, pa quote sana ako sa kanya ng 608 at 708, baka mas may bawas pa compared sa iba.
How about push-pull design sir? malaki ba epekto nito sa SQ?
Salamat sir

i think you can get it at a better price kay dom, i can give you his number.
about push pull, di na po ako pamilyar dun.
sent you PM
-
push pull ....kung tama intindi ko eto ba yung damping factor???
maganda kung mataas damping factor ng amp .... mas maganda control niya sa speaker :) kungbaga when it wants to stop the speaker vibrating, it do so way faster than amps with lower damping factor. thus a more accurate sound is produced :)

quick question.
via HDMI and video out only
htpc > onkyo > tv
may option ba na kahit naka-off ang receiver, may video feed parin sa tv? :)
may mga tv series kasi na mas preferred ko na naka-off yung receiver (to save electricity narin) :)
-
Sir alam ko dapat naka-standby yung receiver mo para may hdmi-passthrough (depende sa avr)

mga sirs,
noob question lang po, pwede ko po ba gamitin yung speaker ng zone 2 ng 608 when watching t.v.
tia.

AFAIK, kung may audio out TV mo (Optical or analog), pwede mo pong iconnect sa AVR mo para lumabas yung sound sa zone 2 speaker.

quick question lang mga sir.
receiver is onkyo 508.
using HTPC hdmi for video and coax for digital sound.
selected HD audio via windows sound settings (audio goes out via coax, stereo or 5.1 etc.)
setup 1:
htpc HDMI > receiver > TV
htpc COAX> receiver
setup 2:
htpc HDMI > TV
htpc COAX> receiver
setup 1 does work but with stereo output only, since my htpc built-in hdmi can only do stereo.
setup 2 works digital audio. (dts and dd)
i already setup my hdmi 1 blu/dvd to coax1 but it does not seem to work, wala na audio at all maski stereo :(
may mali ba akong ginagawa? :)

selected HD audio via windows sound settings (audio goes out via coax, stereo or 5.1 etc.)
setup 1:
htpc HDMI > receiver > TV
htpc COAX> receiver
hindi kaya may issue yung coax port ng htpc mo, kasi if you set it up that your hdmi will output video only, then with the coax into the receiver dapat nag 5.1 na sya even with setup 1. but you said it outputted stereo, meaning audio and video are coming out via hdmi.
setup 2:
htpc HDMI > TV
htpc COAX> receiver
hence, when you connected hdmi directly to tv. and coax to receiver already. no sound output.
setup 1 does work but with stereo output only, since my htpc built-in hdmi can only do stereo.
setup 2 works digital audio. (dts and dd)
i already setup my hdmi 1 blu/dvd to coax1 but it does not seem to work, wala na audio at all maski stereo :(
may mali ba akong ginagawa? :)
kung may dvd hdmi player ka, try to set it up like you did with the htpc. hdmi to tv tapos coax to avr. pag nag work yung 5.1 then baka may issue yung coax port ng htpc.

AVX is where i buy my lcd tvs. Very good service and super competitive price.

after setting to coax1 press enter on your remote control, display should then be coax1*,i usally do this, hope it works for you.

uubra ba mga bro? ;D

AFAIK, kung may audio out TV mo (Optical or analog), pwede mo pong iconnect sa AVR mo para lumabas yung sound sa zone 2 speaker.
ok sir tnx po
-
thanks iiinas and tirso.
bro iiinas, gumana sya sa denon ko dati.
will try it again later. mukhang tama si bro tirso na settings.
tingin ko ang magandang solution dito ay kulamin ang sarili at bumili ng bagong video card na na HD audio thru hdmi ;D ;D
na solve na ba ang problem brader?

Update lang sa issue ko sa 608 ko sa previous page. Naayos na ni Toyama ang 608 ko. They replaced the HDMI board.
The advice given to me was to avoid removing and reconnecting the HDMI cables while the receiver is on.
Ingat lang while using your own AVRs. I'm just happy that it was fixed faster than originally mentioned.

That is good to know, my main reason for purchasing local unit is really the warranty, kahit more than 10k ang difference kung oorder sa US.

Same here. Although if you buy it sa US, if you know someone there, you could ship it back and have it fixed under warranty. Some would say that the big price difference is worth the hassle especially considering kung dito, walang piyesa, you also have to wait for months for the parts to arrive.
Grabe nga noh... 608 sa US is around 20k landed lang.

na solve na ba ang problem brader?
nope. hassle when i tried to do hdmi all the way. :(
bukod sa stereo lang (na dapat 7.1), eh nawawala wala pa yung tunog every second :(

help naman with my Onkyo 606. If i'm playing a movie, meron siyang bass pero pag MP3 or audio, wala. What do I need to check? Right now, I'm using Xtreamer Pro as my movie and audio player. I also tried using my DVD player to play those MP3 songs pero the same pa din, walang bass na lumalabas sa sub..pero pag sa movie meron. TIA.

Sir, baka naka-set sa AVR mo that the speakers are full band. Baka kailangan lang i-set ang cross-over frequency ng speakers mo, it's under Speaker Config Menu. I guess 80Hz is a good start.

check mo kung ano ang DSP ng mp3 mo if its DIRECT or PURE ADUIO wala talagang lalabas sa subwoofer
the reciever decodes accordingly, kung DD or DTS ang movie,lalabas sa panel ng receiver mo yun, whne you shift to music, and the dispaly sayas DIRECT or PURE AUDIO, walang tunog ang sub

Mga sirs question lang po. After performing audyssey calibration, should I change the crossover frequency of all the channels to 80hz(THX)? Or should I stick to the calibration result na lang?

Mga sirs question lang po. After performing audyssey calibration, should I change the crossover frequency of all the channels to 80hz(THX)? Or should I stick to the calibration result na lang?
Audyssey calibrates the system based on REFERENCE setting. After calibration, resulting setting will be achieveed accordingly. Any changes you do with the result shifts it to PREFERENCE setting.
Simply put,if your satisfied with the results, you may stick with it and thus your will enjoy REFERENCE setting especially if you set the volume to 0 db or 82 db
If your not happy with the result, you can play around with it until you get your desired result.
Please takenote that what I have posted is not out of expertise but experience gain thru the help of other HT nethusiast and after reading a lot of things about audyssey calibrations.
These are the things I could recall as part of Audyssey reminders:
1. Before doing Audyssey, set your subwoofer GAIN to halfway, subwoofer cross over to the highest setting. Run the Audyssey and if after one mic position you can save the result, save it then review the resulting subwoofer level calibration. If its on the highest + value or closer to it, you need to increase the gain level, if the result is on the highest - value, decrease the gain level setting, according to people i have asked, ideal is to get either a + 3 or - 3 db. Once this is achieved, you may proceed with the rest of the calibration.
2. After calibration, you will get a resulting xover, I was advise before that if I get a value lower than 60 hz, I need to set it at 80 hz (80 hz is the THX recommended setting). If the result is 60 and above, I can maintain it.
3. Subwoofer LPF of the LFE is recommended by THX to be set to 120 HZ.
After doing several run of calibrations, I have observed that the center channel tends to be lower in volume, several forums have also shared this observations so what I do is just adjust the center level calibration accordingly.
Someone alos shared with me that running the subwoofer at 6 db hotter provides very good result and I must agree it does.
Please continue to read on stuff and validate everyting before trying out.

Good morning mga bosing, ask ko lang kung sino naka experience na ng nag rereset lahat ng setting pag nag turn-off at nag unplug ng AVR nila. dati di naman ganito AVR ko.(ONKYO TX-SR500). Pls. give recommendations naman. TY!
-
na-check mo na ba sa user manual? ang ibang receiver pagnaka-unplug for extended time nagrereset to factory default. pero kung sandali lang at nagrereset, it's possible nadedrain yung power ng memory chip that keeps your settings.
I would suggest also to call the service center for any advice.. ;D
-
Turning the receiver off will erase the settings, there is no backup battery (Onkyo uses Battery Free Memory Backup) and the length of time depends on the capacitor charge.
-
thank u brader tirso, i will run calibration again. :)

Are you trying to output HD audio (DTS-MA / Dolby True HD) or just DTS / Dolby Digital? Only the 5000 series will bitstream HD audio. What OS and media player are you using?
Could you check if your Onkyo's HDMI setup>Audio TV Out setting is set to ON (page 41 of the manual). Try setting it to off and try again with your HTPC to see if it outputs 5.1.
Thanks.

firestorm
thanks for replying

DTS and DD only
according to ati 4650 should be able to output HD audio. (but at the moment .mkv with DD and DTS is my priority)
using windows xp, with kmplayer, classic, vlc. tried with and without spdif via ac3.
Could you check if your Onkyo's HDMI setup>Audio TV Out setting is set to ON (page 41 of the manual). Try setting it to off and try again with your HTPC to see if it outputs 5.1.
have not checked this yet. BUT my receiver accepts PCM via HDMI, so it should be on. will double check later :D
Thanks.
btw let me add i tried a dvd with DD Ex 5.1, i think it worked (not sure) cause for a while DD logo showed via onkyo's screen. but did not get excited as MKV still streams via PCM stereo only :(
got tired so went back to digital coax.
-
Hav a technician replace the memory capacitor. I usually up it to the biggest that will physically fit. It will save you settings when you unplug even for more than a quarter.

Sir Tirso another question po. I tried running Audyssey again. I got readings below 60hz for front and center. I adjusted it to 80hz (THX) so far so good. Re: SVS sub, I was not satisfied with the bass. I tried setting it at 10 o'clock gain, disabled crossover, and 0 degree phase. SW setting was at -8db. Tama po ba ito or dapat naka 180 degree phase sya at more or less 9 o'clock gain?

Dapat highest setting di ba brader yung xover?
-
Mga sirs, maraming salamat sa mga advice, I will try to cantact ONKYO service center and I will consider all your advice. God bless..
-
Dapat highest setting di ba brader yung xover?
the SVS has a feature that allows you to ENABLE or DISABLE crossover through the subwoofer itself,this allows the reciver to set the cross over instead, which according to people I have consulted and readings on audyssey is the best option. Setting the subwoofer cross over to the highest on the subwoofer itself is similar to DISABLING the crossoever setting on the subwoofer itslef and allowing the receiver to control crossover from waht I understand.
Pa correct na lang po kung nagulo ko ang usapan ;D ;D ;D
-
Got your pm sir. Really appreciate it.

mga sir,
Hingi po sana ako ng tips sa pagconfigure manually ng onkyo receiver ko, wala po kasing akong audyssey mic at feeling ko ndi ko nakukuha ung best na tunog ng speakers ko.
Thanks in advance! :D

kung wala kang mahiram na friend best option mo is thru Allan (toy 01). Meron syang US credit card na pwedeng bumili kahit anong online store sa US kasama ang Shop Onkyo na nagbebenta ng Onkyo accessories. Mura lang yon at nakabili na ako sa kanya nuon. ;D

quick question lang mga sir.
receiver is onkyo 508.
using HTPC hdmi for video and coax for digital sound.
selected HD audio via windows sound settings (audio goes out via coax, stereo or 5.1 etc.)
setup 1:
htpc HDMI > receiver > TV
htpc COAX> receiver
hindi kaya may issue yung coax port ng htpc mo, kasi if you set it up that your hdmi will output video only, then with the coax into the receiver dapat nag 5.1 na sya even with setup 1. but you said it outputted stereo, meaning audio and video are coming out via hdmi.
setup 2:
htpc HDMI > TV
htpc COAX> receiver
hence, when you connected hdmi directly to tv. and coax to receiver already. no sound output.
setup 1 does work but with stereo output only, since my htpc built-in hdmi can only do stereo.
setup 2 works digital audio. (dts and dd)
i already setup my hdmi 1 blu/dvd to coax1 but it does not seem to work, wala na audio at all maski stereo :(
may mali ba akong ginagawa? :)
kung may dvd hdmi player ka, try to set it up like you did with the htpc. hdmi to tv tapos coax to avr. pag nag work yung 5.1 then baka may issue yung coax port ng htpc.
after setting to coax1 press enter on your remote control, display should then be coax1*,i usally do this, hope it works for you.
nope. hassle when i tried to do hdmi all the way. :(
bukod sa stereo lang (na dapat 7.1), eh nawawala wala pa yung tunog every second :(

sa pinagkahaba-haba ng nagawa ko. hehehe napakadali lang pala ng solution, na upgrade ko tuloy ang keyboard and mouse dahil ibinalik ko ang ati 4650 :D
medyo basic, tinanong ko lang sarili ko. ano ba talaga ang malaking kaibahan ng laptop ko at htpc ko. ang sagot sa pagbabalik ;D
eto pics muna, maraming salamat sa mga sumagot at sumubaybay.
bro tirso kamusta ang pagtatagalog ko? ;D

soon i will be buying oknyo 608 at psw 110 na sub.
anong wire po gagamitin ko?
yung package ng reciver meron free wires from manufacturer?
-
anybody own this receiver? what can you guys say about its performance / sound quality? did they improve on the general consensus that onkyo AVR's sound rather bright? can this AVR power floorstanders? like paradigm monitor 11, cc390 etc..? Did they sort out the software bugs if there is any?

No wires are included with the receiver. You use a single RCA cable from the receiver's LFE output to the subwoofer.

Sir doon po sa Line In sa left or right ng subwoofer mo ikabit yung isang cable. Isang cable lang naman ang kailangan ikabit from your AVR to your sub's line in. :)
-
paps bale yung rca from avr will be connected sa L or R ng sub?
yes. are you sure you dont have an LFE in via the subs amp?
sorry kung ilan ulit tinatanong ha, lahat kasi ng nakita ko psw may LFE rca eh ;D

Better result pag both L & R line in terminals ng sub gagamitin mo Bro, use 1 run coax cable 75ohms tapos gamit ka y-connector to connect to L& R line in sa sub

Help! i got my Onkyo sr508. sound is great in music but when i plugged my tv out to my onkyo receiver sobrang hina ng sounds kailangan sa 70 na yung vol. pero pag music naman sa aux malakas naman. also talaga bang kailangan ipress lagi ang receiver button para gumana ang remote pag off yung receiver? may kilala ba kayo na magaling magset up ng onkyo dito? thanks

I'm not sure with the 508 but my 608 has a source level volume where you can add or reduce volume to match the rest of the components.

madalas po kase eh familiarity sa features ng receiver and nagiging isyu but does not mean yung Onkyo receiver mismo ang may problema. May mag features kase na pag baguhan sa gamit eh di agad makap ng may ari kaya di agad maayos ang performance.
-
bakit marami yatang problem sa ONKYO?
I dont think ONKYO lang ang may maraming issues sa mga new models, it runs on all brands.
Sa tingin ko dahil sa sobrang dami ng features which makes the receiver more or less act like a computer, nagiging complicated masyado, hence the unseen problems. I have been in IT industry for quite some time, and pagdating sa bugs hindi mo talaga makikita lahat sa isang pasada. Ika nga, it takes 10 years to make a GOOD software... ;)
-
okay... cge il read the manual first.
+1
and also if you can hookup an HDMI/S-Video/Component cable sa monitor out (kung meron) going to your LCD/Plasma. mas madali syang i-setup if you can see all the parameters and configuration sa screen ng TV mo vs. sa LCD panel ng receiver. Did this with my 606... and also used the audyssey mic to calibrate the speakers.
sir, anong volume ng TV mo? na try mo na lakasan yung volume ng TV? baka lang dependent yung lakas ng input ng RCA sa volume ng tv. :)
Sir yung volume ng TV should have nothing to do with this, assuming na nasa line out nakakabit yung RCAs going to the input ng 508. Pero kung may speaker out at dun nakakabit yung RCAs going to your receiver then definitely you have to increase your TV's volume level.
-
red and white RCA cable tv out ng tv tapos tv in ng receiver. may tunog kaya lang sobrang hina nasa level 50 na volume wala pa din sounds pero pag nasa 80max dun lang may sound ng konti.
ibig sabihin yata nito mahina yung feed/signal ng source. try another source e.g. ipod or any stereo source, where you can adjust the volume FROM the source.

Hi all,
Makikisali lang po, 606 user here. Very satisfied with its over all performance paired with wharfedale 10. Quick question lang po kung ano pwedeng workaround para lumakas yung center speaker ko specially during dialogues. Napansin ko kasi na parang na-oover ride ng DTS settings yung A/V settings ko.
Please advise. TIA

ang dami ko na pong nabasang mga froums at discussions tungkol sa ganitong issue, may ibat ibang karakter and bawat receiver, yung issue sa center speaker, minsan depende sa encryption ng movie, may mga movies na sadyang mahina ang dialogues lalo na kung jakc sparrow sya kaya walang paraan kungdi mag adjust manually ng level calibration ng center channel.
sa mga ilang discussions na nabasa ko, kapag naka activate and dynamic EQ, nag susuffer daw ang cneter channel at mas nagiging mahina, sa akin ganun ang nangyayari, madalas after mag calibrate through audyssey, lagi nyan sineset ang center channel to to around 3 db lower versus sa front and right channel so ang ginagawa ko inaakyat ko lang sya para ma compensate yung tunog nya.
wag po kayong magalala kase kaya ka may mga manual setting para magamit mo to suite your preference. wag ka ding mag alala kung nababasa mo man na yung sa iba aeh maganda ang reviews at resulta kase maram,ing factors ang nagcocontribute para ma achieve yung tunog na pinakamaganda, wag kang matakot na mag laro sa setting hanggang ma chieve mo yung tunog na masisisyahan ka.
-
amen! buti na lang nandito si brader pip! :D naalala ko nung first time ko mag setup/mangapa, barubal talaga. haha!!
jason parang camera lang ang receiver kaya sigurado kayang kay mong ayusin ang setting nung receiver mo ;) ;)
-
Okay na.. dinag-dagan ko nlng ng speakers para mas lumakas. hehe.. yung sa remote pa kailangan pala press muna yung receiver button bago gumana yung controls for the receiver. hehe.. yun lang pala yun. 1st time ko mag receiver para san ba yung setup mic pag kinabit ko tunog lang ng tunog eh. I have a 7.1 setup plus zone 2 speakers. all in all 9speakers na for my room. hehe.. :)
-
yes sir, multifunction kase yang remote ng receiver mo, pwede ring sa ibang onkyo devices kung may RI connection ka or kung compatible yung remote sa ibang devices pero i'm not sure. nasubukan ko lang sya sa 606 ko with an onkyo ipod dock and a 7355 cd player.. works great so tinago ko na remote nung dock at ng cd player.

that remote control is programmable and can work as a universal remote for all devices you have like dvd players, cd players, TV irregardless of model and make, may codes naman that you can input when you try to program differnt devices to be controlled by the Onkyo 606 remote. That's why you need to press the correct button in controlling the devices, when you have programmed a dvd player, you press dvd, when you program a tv, you press tv and so on.
the mic is called the Audyssey mic. Thats your ticket to calibrating your whole system and function based on the surrounding enviroment and its corresponding acoustic properties. The Audyssey calibration optimizes your system based on REFERENCE setting. Your is capable of doing Multeq calibration that allows you to set the mic to 6 different postions. There are times though that after calibration, the resulting paramaters will not suite your liking, thus you will adjust accordingly. Usual adjustments are done on the level calibrations( simply put is more like the volume contriol of each speaker channel, speaker cross over setting( simply put is determining whether your speaker is being set to large or smalland ensure LFE's are directed to the subwoofer), LPF of the LFE ( low pass filter of the subwoofer-sorry di ko na masimplify yung LPF eh).

I'm planning to upgrade my avr to a 9.1. I'm contemplating on getting a 1007 or 1008. I've read in other forums regarding 1008 being a downgrade of 1007 but one thing that keeps me want the 1008 is its ability to use both front width and height while the 1007 can use only either front wide OR height. Another thing is that their calibration systems are different, the 1007 being an audyssey multieq XT and 1008 being multieq only. If I'll just base my choice on these 2 aspects, which of the 2 would be a better choice? My current AVR is an onkyo 806 using multieq and I am using an emotiva XPA-3 for my fronts. Personally I'm gearing towards 1008 because of the front height and width(Sulit ba ang ganitong configuration?) but I have not experienced listening to such avr with that kind of capability. Thanks for your inputs!

not an experts input but may be of help anyway so im giving it a shot.
If I were to choose, id choose the one that has better Audyssey calibration feature. Multeq XT is definitely better that Mult EQ becasue the XT allows more mic positioning and flexibility. The fornt wide and front height is certainly a huge come on but even the Audyssey portal mentioned that the best between the two is the front wide giving the Audyssey DSX feature. The front wide provides a more expansive sound and creates an aura of a larger viewing area. The front height gives an added extension of the front surround effect but not as significant as the front wide. IMO, running them at the same time would be of most benifit if the room is faily larger and the speakers would be of the same series and lineage. Apart from these things, the 1007 is THX Ultra 2 cerified while the 1008 is only select 2 certified, as to how significant it is apart from the prestige it gives, I can comment more as I think the difference is better explained technically, which Im not capable of.
The 3D capability would matter much if you have 3d capable tv or PJ and 3d encrypted movie.

if you dont have a grip yet of how to calibrate using the audyssey mic and calibration procedure, the cross over setting is recommended(THX recommendation) to be at 80hz for the front, center and surround speakers. The subwoofer LPF setting is recommened at 120Hz.
the audyssey calibration allows you to get your system calibrated according to the surrounding environment and exisiting room acoustic property. this may sound so rocket science for firts timer but when you get a better grip of how it is, its easy actually.Please browse through yuor manual first and post back items you have question about.

Bro Onkyo606 has given a good explanation. Further to that, though 1008 can do both front width and height at the same time, you will lose out the surround back (L&R) channels. Overall, some of 1008 specs are indeed downgraded from the 1007, hence the cheaper price. So if you are aftering the 3D feature, need the Front Height + Front Wide & don't mind/will not use those "downgraded specs" then 1008 is indeed a good option.
-
sana yung 508 front wide nalang instead of "zone2" ;D
sabagay i cant complain entry level lang naman :D

Planning to buy one of the new Onkyos in mid 2011 (right now, either the 508 or the 608, to upgrade my 494). Pero parang nakaka-intimidate ang mga bagong models - feels too complicated to set up (based on recent exchanges on this thread which i can barely understand hehe). Buti pa yung 494 ko, halos plug and play lang ;D

masasanay ka rin paps sa paggamit ng onkyo..
-
I got the onkyo 508.. i plugged 10.1 spearkers.. okay lang naman yun dba?.. sa front apat ang nakakabit dalawa dalawa... mas malakas and okay yung sounds at risk ba ang receiver ko pag ganun?...
-
masama ata yan bro. You mean sa frnt left terminal, dalawang speaker, tapos right terminal ganun din, dalawang speaker?
-
masama ata yan bro. You mean sa frnt left terminal, dalawang speaker, tapos right terminal ganun din, dalawang speaker?
baka front height gamit nya. :)
ang pinagtataka ko lang 10.1 setup nya
samantalang sakin nasaksakan ko na lahat ng pwede saksakan 9.1lang. :D
front height 2
front 2
center 1
side surround 2
rear surround 2
sub 1
-
Yup.. dalawang speaker kinabit ko sa isang front left terminal and dalawang speaker kinabit ko sa isang front right terminal. tapos isang center tapos surrounds. tinanung ko sa pinag bilhan ko sa listening room wala naman daw problem kahit ilang speakers ang nka kabit sa receiver. gumana naman lahat kaya naging 10.1 hehe... tapos set up mic ko pa kaya ngyn sobrang okay yung sounds sa rooom ko. hehe..

kung i-cover nila yung warranty sa ginawa mo bro, at maganda sa pandinig mo go lang :D
ayaw mo gamitin yung front height feature?

Bro, pano ba gamitin yung zone2?.. kinabitan ko ng speakers wala naman sounds na lumalabas? kahit naka on na yung zone2 speakers ko.
-
Bro, pano ba gamitin yung zone2?.. kinabitan ko ng speakers wala naman sounds na lumalabas? kahit naka on na yung zone2 speakers ko.
you have to activate that in nthe set up menu
-
Bro, pano ba gamitin yung zone2?.. kinabitan ko ng speakers wala naman sounds na lumalabas? kahit naka on na yung zone2 speakers ko.
kailangan mo activate yan zone 2 via GUI ng receiver.
yung zone 2 pwede mo rin gawin front height.
yung zone 2 para sa ibang location na gusto mo lagyan ng sound e.g. kusina, labahan, kwarto etc.
pero pili ka muna zone 2 or front height? :D

sir onkyo606, question naman regarding Audyssey setup ng 606. I tried it once, pero ng matapos yung setup, yung front speaker ko ang config naka full-range, ano bang ibig sabihin non? Parang malaki yung treatment o pagka sense niya sa front speaker? Ang issue pag mag play ako ng audio, di nagana yung bass ng sub, kailangan baguhin ko manually and i-set yung cut-off sa 40hz pero sa movie sobrang okay kasi meron sub at tamang tama para sa akin. Yung front palang speaker is a vintage diatone ds-211 3 way. What is the best manual cut-off setting para sa front speaker coming from full-range? TIA.

mga sir na naka 608, sulit ba talaga sa actual use yan model na yan? Hirap pala magdecide sa first receiver. nagstart yung budget ko sa pio 520, then stretch a bit sa 820 and onkyo 508. But now it seems all roads lead to onkyo 608...stretch na naman. I just want all your expert opinion before i buy something dat is relatively new stuff and expensive for a newb like me. Sana makatulong kayo kasi gusto ko na rin maka move on sa receiver.salamat in advance

Yes the 608 is worth it. When I changed my HT system I was first deciding between Denon 1611 and Onkyo 508. The salesman told me that the Onkyo was better. I chose the Denon instead. When I got home I found the Denon lacking in power. So the next day I went back and exchanged it for the 608 since it had more watts compared to the 508 and 1611. The Onkyo is a bit harder to configure compared to the Denon and I also prefer Denon's aesthetics. However the power and sound improved by a lot when I got the 608.
-
@Conan
I appreciate your comment sir. I'm just afraid na hindi ko maharness yung full potential ng 608 because im still a dummy about receivers and speakers. Baka magtunog entry level lang yung 608 sakin, at masayang lang dahil hindi pa ako marunong mag calliberate and mag tweak ng sound nya.

onkyo receivers are easy to configure, just read the manual if you get lost. :)
it is 100x easier to configure, compared to denon receivers :D

-
mukhang user frinedly naman nga ang onkyo..
It took me close to 2 hours to figure out why my no sound or video was coming out of my 608, it's because you have to configure the inputs on the On-screen Menu. With the Denon that I later exchanged, after I plugged in the inputs everything worked without having to dive into the menu. But no regrets, I still chose Onkyo over the Denon and it would still be my choice if I had to do it all over again.
-
I think the only problem with the 608, as reported in various US internet sites is the video bug which seemingly not one user here ever experience it yet. Other than that the 608 is adjudged by many as the best as compared with other receivers in the same category like when compared with the pio 920 or denon 1911. After all my research and readings, I finally have closed the deal with the remaining unit of 608 from avshop. ;D
-
Noted mga sirs. 608 is really best in its class and indeed the best pound for sound receiver interms of value. After ko kayo iconsult, si misis naman for re-alignment ng budget. hehe. San po nyo nabili yung 608? Thanks again for all your time.

Bro, you are right. LR is selling it for a sligghtly higher price than you said-P30600.too bad they ran out of stock today, but i had a 608 reserved for pick up tommorw afternoon. I guess this is it, my first ever receiver will be an onkyo 608. Thanks to everyone who made their inputs. definitely helped me decide. My next concern now are the speakers to pair it with. I prefer bookshelf type muna because of budget constraints.

Yup -- ive been reading reviews about the 1911 and the two sides of my mind are now debating heavily. The better sound quality of the denon or the abundant features of the onkyo. ::)

Onkyo 608 has more power than the Denon 1911. Just look at the power consumption 630 watts for the Onkyo and only 460 watts for the Denon. The amp that consumes more power will also output more power to the speakers. Denon has the better Audyssey implementation but the Onkyo has THX certification.

one thing that denon gets right is amp-heat control and untampered HDMI pass-thru. but i must admit, the 608 is so jam-packed with features that it is truly a winner in its price range. even the 508 is also a fantastic offering.
Yup -- ive been reading reviews about the 1911 and the two sides of my mind are now debating heavily. The better sound quality of the denon or the abundant features of the onkyo. ::)
better sound. What is THX if a non certified unit sounds better? ;D
GUI overlay is a plus though

For non-digital connections you have to configure the inputs. Turn off all digital inputs for the source where you connected the RCA cables. For example if you connected the DVD player to the BD-DVD input change the setting of BD-DVD HDMI, Optical to --------- in the menu screen.

Just got the last unit of ONKYO 608 from AVShop, nagkakaubusan yata daw ng 608. According to AVshop Delivery will resume by next year. Good that i had it reserved a week earlier. ;D

My new Onkyo 707 ( 4 months old) shut down and would not power up. Was not happy and with holidays around the corner and new Blue Ray and PS3 in hand needed to act quickly to get it fixed.
I really needed my Onkyo 707 so without haste I brought it in to the service center on 107 West Ave. Quezon City. I met Andrew and Peter who run the show and they were most understanding. They told me not to go anywhere and to sit tight as they would evaluate and assess the problem. They confirmed I blew out the center channel and the unit shut down. Within an hour they had fixed the unit and sent me on my way. I gotta tell you they made my day if not my week as my kids are again playing PS3 and I am jamming Santana "Sacred Fire" with 3 new blu ray discs to be viewed during the holidays.
Thank you Peter and Andrew. You guys Rock as does Onkyo.

just make sure you are using hdmi 1.3a or b cables. and from the bluray player. please make sure that its bitsteaming the signal to the onkyo. or else your onkyo will just display lpcm or pcm.

hi guys, available ba yung silver na 608 dito sa pinas? i already checked out yung mga stores in Mega, Shang, and Makati... puro black lang daw... is the asian version of 608 only have a black casing? ???

were you able to fix the problem? normally you'll have to to go to settings and manually choose to have the player output the audio in bitstream and let the receiver do the decoding. :)

please look at your receivers setting as well, your hdmi input should also be set to output both video and audio or else no sound will come out.
btw, dont use spdif, as this pertains to using either coax or optical digital for audio.

ganito po ba talaga onkyo 608 ? nasa 50+ na yong volume level pero parang bitin pa din..ayoko nman sagarin baka masira yong speakers or avr mismo :D
any inputs or dapat kung gawin ? btw, im currently using old stereo speakers (100watth/ch)

check your settings kung nag audyssey ka chances are lahat ng level calibration mo naka set sa negative db, check also baka na activate yung dynamic volume, or yung late night listening mode
-
salamat po, so normal lang pala na ganung level :) btw, im trying to use my old dvd player (no hdmi) kinabit ko po siya sa 1 on the composite inputs, pero bat kaya walang nalabas na video sa lcdtv, pero meron po syang audio. yong xtreamer at ps3 working naman na parehong nakarekta na sa AVR.

After the audyssey calibration on my Onkyo 608 i was not satisfied with its audio resolution on movies. It seemed that the sound is muffled, although the punch is obvious. Having been acquainted so much with the Pioneer, I am missing the crisp rendition of the gunshots and vehicle crashes on action movies. Until this time I am still trying to figure out the best sound that suits my taste from the Onkyo.
The audyssey calibration brought me these measurement values:
SW ------ yes
Front ---- 150hz
Surround - 120hz
Center--- 60hz
FH ------ 150hz
SB ------ 150hz
SBC ----- 2 channel
Last night before i signed off, except the center, I manually set the F,S,FH and SB into 80hz. I still dont know the effect of my manual assigning of values on the quality of the sound. So can somebody clarify this please. The THX measurement is 80hz in all channel i think, so I just followed that.
Later tonight, I also intend to set manually the speakers on 0.0d db just to feel it.
Insights are welcome... ;D

What speakers are you using? Just set all your speakers to the 80hz THX recommended setting and then add +3 or 4 db to the center speaker and subwoofer (depending on your taste).

pre idunno, kahit sa 2.1 setup ko lang mas malakas mga DD audio kesa sa DTS..kapag naka downmixed to 2 channel. hindi ko pa na try sa 5.1 talaga, no budget pa sa good speakers.

Sometimes Audyssey doesn't get things right and you have to tweak the settings to your preference. I always add to the center and sub after Audyssey sets it. I also use the 80hz THX setting when watching movies.

audyssey measures based on acoustic property of the room. The resulting data is based on REFERENCE setting which is pegged at 0 db listening level, at least the way I understood it. At 0 db, the result of the clabiration would be better felt but id otn think people most people listen at Reference level. Having said so, people would tend to make adjustment on the result after audyssey, thus it becomes PREFERNCE setting.

you may want to check the manual of your 608, it comes with a list of equipment that can be controlled by the 608 remote control. if it doesnt come with a list, get back to your supplier and ask for it. if the equipment your not using is not included in the list, it can not be controlled by your 608 remote control.

and upon checking, i think it might work for component cable input and not that regular single rca video input.

I connected the DVD player using the Coaxial cable to my 608 but what happened was the zone 2 speakers did not work pero nung kinabit ko yung red and white plug (ano ba tawag dun?

baka nga older model ng onkyo yung kinkumpara nya.
mas madalas kasi na mas mura at feature packed and onkyo, maski entry level ko na 508 meron lahat ng mentioned nya + the PL IIz :)

yeah, and i believe lahat ng bagong receivers(the good brands) standard na ang mga yan dahil relatively lumang sound processing na ang PL II EX at DTS Neo.

am a newbie, entry level HT owner and recently purchased the 308. all is great except for the not-so-good FM stereo (or could be my speakers?) or nasanay lang ako dun sa dati kong receiver, a 2001 JVC/RX-6000. but all-in-all it's a good purchase...so just in case you're going for the 508, i expect it would be a better equipment..you may want to check the FM stereo though.

I helped my friend bought an Onkyo TX DS 797 here in PDVD. It is a good HT Amp and already fixed the factory defect on DSP chip. During set up, we followed everything, as per manual. So the DVD player (set in S/PDIF Raw) was connected to Digital input of Onkyo. The performance was good. However, the amazing sound came in when we connect the DVD player analog (left and right) to Onkyo HT Amp DVD analog input and DVD player Digital Out to Onkyo DVD Digital In at the same time. The sound quality was superb. The sound in both music and movie came out more define than the original set up instructions, as per manual.
Can somebody explain to me (technically) why there was a big improvement after we connect the DVD player to both analog(stereo) and digital in the HT Amp? I was amazed but also puzzled. I am just curious why?
Thanks in advance. :)

However, the amazing sound came in when we connect the DVD player analog (left and right) to Onkyo HT Amp DVD analog input and DVD player Digital Out to Onkyo DVD Digital In at the same time. The sound quality was superb. The sound in both music and movie came out more define than the original set up instructions, as per manual.
Can somebody explain to me (technically) why there was a big improvement after we connect the DVD player to both analog(stereo) and digital in the HT Amp? I was amazed but also puzzled. I am just curious why?
Thanks in advance. :)

Is it possible to use the the Front Height, Front Wide and Surround Back speakers at the same time? Thanks

Is it possible to use the the Front Height, Front Wide and Surround Back speakers at the same time? Thanks
yes. but it is receiver dependent, like in my case. i can only do prologic IIx OR IIz. so if my source is a native 7.1, i can do 9.1 including front height via PLIIz. but if my source is only native 5.1, i can do 7.1 but ill have to choose between REAR surrounds (PLIIx) or front height (PLIIz).
bro streetsmart's receiver can do all at the same time ;D

Hi,
Can somebody show me how to put banana plugs in my 508? Been searching the net and I want to get instructions how (pictures on how to do it will be better).
Thanks!

Bro Ninjababez i think our 608 has all these options that we can use that is why i am just wondering if we can set up the receiver to use all these at the same time, though our source is only 5.1. I have 2 SB speakers and also plugged 2 more front height speakers. Now i am planning to plug another set of speakers for the front wide. If we cant use all these speakers at the same time maybe ill have to think it over if i have to buy another set from yhe front wide. Thanks

You have to remove the plastic plug that covers where the banana plug will be pushed through.

You cannot use front high and front wide at the same time (For the 608 model). You must choose only one mode. Many suggest of using the front wide because it provides wider soundstage.

there is no receiver capable of doing this all at the same time, so fra only the denon 4810 can do front wdoe, front height simmultaneously although the 4311 i think is also now capable of this. For onkyo even the highest modle can not do this not even the 5008 although i maybe wrong about this the 5008 though is audyssey mutl eq xt32 capable
if you go to the audyssey thread, thye find better benifit using front wide but i guess it depends on the room as streetsmart would attest to how effective the front height is , his room having a high ceiling
in a very small room, the audyssey dsx setting hardly matters becasue of the constraint on the placement plus the fact that the front, center, front wide must be of the same lineage for proper timber matching, i used RS 1 for front and B2 for fornt wdie before but after a while just decided to remove the wide as there is not much im gaining having to have a very small room

ganito po ba talaga onkyo 608 ? nasa 50+ na yong volume level pero parang bitin pa din..ayoko nman sagarin baka masira yong speakers or avr mismo :D
any inputs or dapat kung gawin ? btw, im currently using old stereo speakers (100watth/ch)
tia
Try adjusting in Intellivolume. There you can define the input volume explicitly for each component you connect in your Receiver.
Medyo bitin din ako sa volume nung una, pero nung inadjust ko sa intellivolume, i feel better having seen the volume level at around 40 with good results :D I also limit the MAX volume to 70 para hindi maisagad ng ibang tao sa bahay.
Note: I am only using HT speakers for the meantime, so I dont want to push the volume baka masira. Di bale na ung speakers wag lang yung receiver ;D
-
Hi guys, I have the 608. Do you guys always have audio/video sync issues? Parang palagi delayed yun salita sa akin. It not only happens on one movie, almost nga majority. Am I doing something wrong sa setting? It's getting to be an annoyance if I have to keep adjusting the A/v sync in the menu for every movie. It's really odd.

sir,
asian model ba 508 nyo? mine is asian, i think there is no way to put banana plugs, unlike in US models.
Can anybody confirm this? I read in the manual that using of Banana Plugs in EU is prohibited. And EU and Asian models are made the same.
And also, the reason behind the prohibition? :D
-
Regulations in most EU countries prohibit/discourage banana plugs for safety reasons.
EU electrical outlets have round holes, so there's a danger of accidentally connecting banana plugs into wall outlets.
The audio industry should have addressed the issue by adopting a world standard for banana plugs.
-
I see, thanks for info sir! ;)
So confirmed na yung Asian version ng Onkyo does not accept banana plugs?

Lately I've been using my bd player, xtreamer and mede8er. I think its mostly its my bd player. I use hdmi to receiver then hdmi to hdtv. Sometimes I adjust the A/V sync to 200ms. That's really high diba?
I'm doing some more tests just to be sure.
Thanks

brader raymund, have you tried watching the BDs in a different set up say living room or bedroom(im assuming you have a dedicated HT room). I just thought about it but i may not have technical reasonings on this but the room might have a contribution ot the delays( again just a thought), the BD player may also is causing this and not the receiver, best way perhaps is to isolate everything, it maybe tedious but it can lead you to the real culprit

Hi bro Tirso, hehe My dedicated ht room is in my bedroom ;D. I don't think its the room. But I will indeed do some more testing bec. its really odd. You will really notice it. The problem now is I watched so many movies from bds to nmt's so I don't really know which one is the culprit. ;D. I just ignored the first couple of times this happened. But when it happened more frequently, it suddenly got my attention.
Actually my wife is the first one that noticed it. Siempre ako, being macho macho ;D, videophile haha joke joke, told her na "Wala naman ah, you're dreaming ata ;D" Then, I actually noticed it afterwards haha. She keeps making fun of my avr upgrade ;D. "Ano ba yan bakit ganun, gumastos ka malaki tapos ganun pala" you know mga Mrs. torture taunts. ;D.
Tonight I just watched The Other Guys and its ok naman. Will indeed do more testing and let you guys know. Baka naman its my nmts, the downloads.
Thanks bro

This is just a guess but check the HDMI cables that they are not bent at extreme angles.

if the receiver has auto calibration, try re calibrating might help

I don't think I got that.
Is the audio already delayed when the receiver is set to 0 ms?
If so, then adding 200ms delay on the receiver will worsen the problem, di ba?

Yes the audio is delayed when its at 0 ms. I never adjusted the a/v sync sa menu when I bought it, until I noticed the audio not jiving with the video. The mouth will move first then the audio will come out (or its the other way around. Double check ko lang) I actually don't know how the ms work. ;D I tried to go negative (below zero) but it won't, it just goes positive ata. This is the reason I increased the ms bit by bit ;D. Nag jive siya sa 200ms (which is the max)
Thanks guys. I will do some testing this weekend.

If the audio syncs when you add 200 ms (milliseconds), it means the audio was advanced when the setting is at 0 ms. Talagang positive adjustments lang ang puwede, walang negative. Receivers can only delay the audio, but they can't advance it.
If you thought the audio was delayed at 0 ms, hindi naman nakakapagtaka yon, confusing kasi talaga. However, even if you're not sure whether the audio is delayed or advanced, there's still one thing that you're sure of ---- the audio is out of sync ;).
The reason why receivers have an option for delaying the audio is because it's the video that's usually delayed. When the TV processes the video signal, the processing causes a delay in the video output, which causes the audio to seem advanced. To get things back in sync, the receiver can compensate by delaying the audio.
The problem is when the audio is delayed. There's no way to advance it.
Do you have an LCD TV? Maybe the TV is doing too much processing such as 24p, MotionFlow, etc. Try turning off the processing features on the TV and see if video output will be faster.
-
Grabe ang price drops for the 608 and 708 over at Amazon. 608 only selling at around 380US$ and the 708 at 684US$.
Hope it translates to lower prices here as well.

Question lang po, which would match well with a 608: MA RX2 or B&W 685?

Question lang po, which would match well with a 608: MA RX2 or B&W 685?
i'd also want to try those MA RX2.....
i'm currently using the 608's with my 685's and find them a better match than those i previously auditioned like the polks, paradigms and infinitys. i like the laid back sound that i'm getting in my current set up. the others were too harsh for me like the HK & 685 combination.
depends really on what type of audio you are into. music or movies ?
-
50/50 for music and video.
Im after the Rx2 mainly for the looks (available in White). Searched the net for positive feedback for the MA Rx & 608 but not much talk about this combi. The CM5 series is also in my shortlist but a bit outside the budget, hoping B&W would make a limited edition white. I just prefer the 20ish look of gloss finish.

hi Sir Barrister, thanks very much for the info. I have a led tv and I turn all post processing off naman. I know my bd player is set on 24p ata (will double check). I haven't tested it, but I'm now watching hellboy 2 ;D A/v is in perfect sync and when I check my onkyo menu its set nga on 200ms. For now, ;D as long as its ok hehe, I'm fine. But I know it shouldn't be like that. I will try recalibrating with the audyssey mic and also check my cables. Really weird. Thanks again sir, will keep you guys updated.

i get to check the Onkyo 807/HTRC180 Thread in AVSFORUM and last night there were several disucssions about the Audyssey Mic that comes with the 807/180. Apparently the mics are labelled ACM1 and is found to be the wrong mic, it should have been ACM1H. They were saying Onkyo is willing to replace the mic with the correct one, I tried my luck by sending an emaiulo to the Onkyo office. The discussion mentions inaccurate results because of the ACM1.
anyone familiar with this issue ???

Na-eexperience ko sa 608 yung audio drop out pero sa simula lang.
kasi gamit ko laptop as my player... lumalabas yung audio sa laptop hindi sa receiver.
ang correction lang na ginagawa ko is either I choose another hdmi input using the controls, then return to my original input or manually reconnecting the hdmi port on my laptop. ok na afterwards.
but for video signal loss or handshake issues... so far, wala naman...

What do u mean by that sir? You mean in the laptop settings? or the Receiver?
I have a suspect na, probably my generic HDMI cable is too long, or my NVIDIA card is having a hard time sending a good HDMI Audio/Video Signal.
Saken naman kasi paputol putol yung sound, ok ang video, pero yung sound intermittent. Tapos sa LCD display ng receiver yung HDMI minsan nagbiblink.
Although medyo magulo, dahil pag sa PC hdmi ng receiver ko kinakabit nagbiblink ung HDMI at walang sound na lumalabas, pero pag sa VCR/DVR hdmi port ko kinakabit may sound kaso paputol-putol. Kaya baka may problema sila sa isa't isa hehe!

im using a cdr king hdmi cable, 1.5m, connecting the laptop n my receiver, another cdr king hdmi cable from receiver's output to my plasma tv.
im using a vlc player to play mkv movies.
when i play an mkv file from the laptop, walang audio na lumalabas sa speakers ng receiver...
video lang ang lumalabas sa tv.
to correct this... i have two ways:
1. while playing a movie, remove the hdmi cable from the laptop n re-insert the hdmi to the laptop. the audio will be channeled to the speakers of the avr.
2. if i am using input hdmi 1 for my laptop, using the remote of 608, i will choose another hdmi input and enter it. i will then choose hdmi 1 again so that it will activate my laptop again as my input source, the audio from my receiver's speakers will be heard again.
so far corrective measure lang to. hnde n ako nagexplore how to prevent it kasi i plan to buy an nmt.
its very possible na may problem ang hdmi cable maybe you can try to exchange your other hdmi cable so that you can see if the cable is the real prob or try to directly connect your pc to your tv.

typical handshake issue due to OS reverting back to non digital output. nangyayari lang ito kung hindi permanent ang hdmi mo as output for audio. since youre using a laptop, im assuming that you remove the hdmi connection every now and then. :)

That is a common HDMI problem, and you just have to unplug/plug the cable.

Question mga master. Kailangan ba naka 12 o'clock yung volume knob ng subwoofer pag mag audessey calibration?
-
Question mga master. Kailangan ba naka 12 o'clock yung volume knob ng subwoofer pag mag audessey calibration?
It depends on the subwoofer. Pero, for most subwoofers, yes...12 o'clock is a good starting point. ;D
-
panong starting point master? ibig sabihin ba babaguhin pa mismo yung knob position after ng calibration or avr nalang adjust?sensya na sir newbie lang po sa ganitong hobby.
-

Yes...co'z after you get the results, the desired decibel level for the subwoofer should be 0 dB level. So, if ang result is + dB level, you have to lower the gain and pag - dB level, you have to increase the gain. Everytime you change the gain, you will have to run Audessey all over again until you get the result of 0 dB level or close to it. :)
-
matagal tagal palang calibration pala yun master.akala ko pagset mo ng 12 o'clock ok na yun hindi na kailangan baguhin. :D .After doing the steps master then nag 0db na receiver ok na adjust sa AVR yun?
-
Yes matagal tagal yan. yan din turo sakin ni brader ninjababez na hindi ko pa rin nagagawa.hehe.
-

Yes! Save settings ka na once you've achieve 0 dB level. The best part I enjoy about our hobby is actually the process of getting the best sound out of your system. That is why calibration for me is fun.;D
-
how about sa ibang speaker (FS, SS and Center) do I have to change anything? Thanks sa info master!

wala ka naman gain knob sa satellites, i suggest that you leave it as it is. BUT you can always adjust it to your preference. ;)Yes matagal tagal yan. yan din turo sakin ni brader ninjababez na hindi ko pa rin nagagawa.hehe.
kakatamad naman kasi sa case mo bro, once a week ka lang nga makaka-nuod tapos mauubos pa oras sa calibration ;D
-
Ako nga nagpapaabot pa ng 11pm-12am bago magcalibrate, para tahimik, minsan nga yung aso ng tita ko sa kabilang bahay, nagtatahol, badtrip ! inulit ko yung audyssey...pero worth it naman e, parang gusto ko ngang mag-audyssey e, kasi last december pa ako nagcalibrate e may xmas tree pa sa sala noon, ngayon wala na, so nagbago uli yung room acoustic

I read reviews that the 8xx series or higher models of the Onkyo has a high wattage selection. It's really nice if the amplifier is powerful, because the dialouges are fuller, bolder and clearer...plus the overall soun staging is pretty awesome. :)
There are no issues with using SVS speakers with the Onkyo, as they are neutral sounding speakers. ;D

I believe there is one in the market place for 32k. I'm not sure kung sold na. No problem with this Onkyo model in driving the svs speakers, yakang-yaka, ako nga gamit ko 608 lang, really satisfied with the performance of this receiver. maganda pa sa 806, mult-eq sya unlike yung 608 ko 2EQ lang

PM kagawad iiinas for insights on actual listening experience, he owns one
para sa akin
1. 806 has better face plate lay out and appearance mas musculine tingnan compared to newer model
2. Higher power rating but doesnt have newer features like Audyssey DSX. Has DTS MA and Dolby Ture HD though.
3. Ultra 2 THX certification versus Select2 of some newer models
4. Mult EQ capable only
5. Biggest downside- mas mahal pa kesa sa mga bagong modelo, recently otep sold one fro around 35K used unit at 110volts, price sa AMazon di bumababa sa 800usd from the last time i checked but the 807 is around 600 plus lang

I know that this isn't an AVR, but I'd like to say that I'm impressed with the Onkyo A-5VL Integrated Amplifier. It's an awesome little amp for the price that's both sonically refined and environmentally sound. :)
The matching C-S5VL SACD Player is also quite good, by the way.

Probably not that important, but is the front panel display of the 806 green color? It seems like an old Sony Betamax Player to me... ;D

Ang alam ko sir all speaker channel ay may DAC naman, so i guess wala yun sa coax, hdmi output, etc. Please correct me If I'm wrong. Using the same source, parehas lang siguro ang labas nang sound, just use exactly the same setting, or better yet try it sa pure audio mode...

natest ko na sya sa ibang source, mas bright pala talaga spdif/hdmi input nya compare sa coax input. mas gusto ko yung coax for music and hdmi spdif for movies. ;D

to some people, walang bearing ang cables and parepareho lang, sa aking personal na experience, mas makapal ang tunog kapag naka coaxial versus optical or HDMI. But becasue of the hassle, i only use HDMI straight for NMT even if it has coaxial, wiht my dvd, i use coaxial for audio and hdmi for video.

Does anybody have any idea regarding TX-NR3008

good morning...
just a few questions and an observation with our onkyo s5305 system:
-at times there would be a slight audio drop while watching a blu-ray movie (ps3), cguro mga 1 sec lang tapos everything goes back to normal, does not happen on every movie naman. what causes this?
-there is a listening mode called "direct" per description of the manual it says:
"audio from the input source is output without surround sound processing"
does this mean that this mode is well as close to how the audio was meant to be heard?

I'm not sure with Onkyo receivers, but with other brands "Direct" is normally used for 2 channel sources. It will bypass surround processing, so that audio is only output as Left/Right channel information. Some brands still do bass management in direct mode however, while others don't.

Onkyo 608 does not have a filter resolution for subwoofer/s.
MultEQ comparison chart

Crossover, Polarity, Delays, Levels Yes Yes Yes Yes
* Up to 32 measurement positions with MultEQ Pro.
Sana pala I just waited and purchased at least the 708 para naka MultEQ man lang.
Now the question is whether to upgrade to an Onkyo receiver with higher Audyssey EQ or purchase an SVS-EQ1?
Any idea/opinion on this?
-
Sir jao, just my opinion, either you go with a multieq/multieqxt with svseq1
or get an av receiver with multieqxt32. The xt32 already has a subeq ht. Either way I think both would entail giving out the same amount of money. I went with the xt32 route.

Or you can do a lateral move and try the Denon 1911 with MultEQ. But honestly if you keep on worrying about what your gear doesn't do, you'll never be happy.

Actually sir, what I'm after is the quality of the bass in my ht set-up since I don't have a dedicated HT room. I placed a few bass corner traps and absorbing panels but of course it is not enough given the location of my HT which is in a sala. Since 608 only has 2EQ, bass coming out from my system is not really "fully" calibrated so to speak. Since I want to have the sub calibrated together with my system and I'm dead on getting a sub-eq1 anyway , I'm just trying to figure out which route to take in order to save some funds... to get an avr with sub-eq integrated already or go the avr plus eq1 route. I would just like to maximize what I already have, ika-nga ni kagawad iiinas. ;D. Are you not curious to know and to listen to your system's full potential? I know I am... :)

Bro Jao, swak ang advice ni Conan. :)
nga lang pag sanay ka sa onkyo, baka manibago ka sa denon. medyo laid back ang tunog nito compared to your onkyo.
i suggest getting a new receiver. atleast, yung mapagbentahan ng current receiver mo konting dagdag nalang, upgraded pa ang receiver :D
IMO malaki ang difference ng MultEQ sa 2eq :)

I had a Denon 1611 that had Audyssey MultEQ for two days. Though my sub now is different than what I had then so I can't make a direct comparison and I returned the Denon because the power was weak for my then JBL speakers which are not as sensitive as my current Klipsch speakers. I'm actually happy with the way my system sounds now so no I'm not curious. :)

I guess that'd be subjective. It's best if you can head to a shop where you can compare them. I think MLY/AVShop has these units available for demo.
For me: When used with entry level speakers and moderate volumes in typical spaces, they are very close (benign loads). However, the increased current capacity of the 608's power section could be heard when using hard to drive speakers, and/or listening at elevated levels in a bigger room.

Actually once you use the pure audio mode it will bypassed unnecessary circuits, even the system menu.

Guys, good am. Tanong ko lang, kasi napansin ko parang sobra mag-init yung TX-SR508 ko. Ang pagkakaalam ko kasi 500 watts ang ratings nya pero sa init na pinoproduce nya parang more than 500 watts ???
Ganito ba talaga ang operating temperature ng Onkyo AVR's? Thanks :)

Kung mejo worried ka brader, pwede mo gamitan ng usb fan from cdrking
-
Medyo nagiinit talaga sya kahit may built in exhaust fan ang onkyo avr, that is why important yung ventilation around your avr. Gusto mo sir lagyan mo nang laptop fan, you can buy sa CDR-King pati yung USB wall socket kagaya nang ginawa ko:

sir been an owner of a onkyo txsr503 and htr500(planning to sell ;D), and yes malakas sila mag init lalo na if your playing it loud sa music but i guess ganun talaga mga onkyos! and nothing bad naman happens.

Kung gusto mo mabawasan ang init ng Onkyo mo, idisable mo ang Upscaling feature nya. Sa player mo na lang ikaw mag-upscale... ;)

You are correct, no upscaling for the 508.
-
hindi sir. i've been using the Aux In line bago ko pa i-bi-amp yung connection sa speaker wala naman problem dati. ever since lang ginamit ko yung bi-amp dun nagkaproblema.
err, baka po naka set yung front speakers nyo as large speakers? naka bi-amp din kasi yung 508 ko eh and pag naka set lang sa large speakers nagka ganyan ang onkyo ko..pero pwede rin naman set sya sa bi-amp just lower the level po set nyo lang ng " zero " yung cal level.HTH ;)

Hi Gurus,
Tried plugging my midi player for videoke with HT-R670 (HT-S6200) but the sound quality from the mic input is very low. Can you suggest what I will add e.g. mixer or preamp that have echo level? Needed to put 2 mics and the midi player before plugging it to the AVR. Will only used vidoeke for 2 hours a week.
Thanks,
JM

Have you tried using line-level connections (RCAs)? Kung available lang naman.
question lang po about the fan, would an exhaust fan be better than a fan which has the air going into the receiver?
These units are designed to suck air from the bottom of the unit and exhaust through the top by building a convection current. It's usually easier to just aid this natural flow by putting an exhaust fan on top (better kung may shroud). Blowing air into the case from the top can cause undue turbulence (increasing noise), can bring more dust into the chassis, and might cause insufficient flow to some critical parts.
A laptop cooling pad with the fan blowing in reverse sounds like a simple solution. :D
-
thanks for the explanation sir stagea and wengkapre. hindi ko nga naisip yung thing about the dust. thanks again. :)

Hey Masters!
Anyone with the new Onkyo 509's?
How does it compare with the 508?
Thanks in advance!

Hi mga sir,
I was about to grab SR508 and paired it with Infinity P152 for a start.
do you think it's a good matched? any input would be appreciated...
thanks in advance

iirc infinity speakers are bright, paired with a bright receiver, im not sure if it's gonna yield a good result.
you can PM stickfighter to confirm if infinity is bright or warm. :)

Onkyo 508 may be slightly "brighter" than its Denon counterpart but not considered bright compared to other brands of receivers. It's best to listen to this combo first if it suits your ears. AVShop has both receiver and speaker on hand to demo.

Are these features (present on the 709) enough to choose a 709 over a 609?
110w vs 100w power
certified 4ohms performance
Bi-amp capability for front
Pure mode processing
Phono input
HDMI I/O 8/1 vs 6/1
RS-232
IR Input
12V trigger
Learning remote
Activity Based remote
Auto Speaker Calibration W/Mic. Audyssey MultEQ XT (709) vs Audyssey 2EQ (609)

Now when you turn the receiver off, the yellow "HDMI Thru" light should be illuminated instead of the red - power off indicator. Warning though, when I did this before, the amp would become warm when in HDMI Passthru mode.

Good day!
I have a noobie question:
What settings do you guys use when watching movies?
I noticed that when I watch movies via my Xtreamer, connected to the Onkyo 509, the sound of the dialogue is a bit nasal and it is very tiring to my ears. I use the DTS/5.1 setting on the Xtreamer. And DTS on the receiver.
When I switched to XBMC using a laptop with HDMI, the sound opened up a bit. But I noticed that the DTS option is gone, instead, I am to choose between Direct and Multichannel. Either of the two produces better sound compared to the DTS setting.
I use a pair of A3's for LR and an A6 for the center.
Thanks in advance!

Does the Xtreamer have a "pass through" option instead of choosing DTS?

Chief,
According to the makers:
"The HDMI has been configured to the 1.3a spec, allowing full support of HD Audio pass-through for DTS HD-HR, DTS HD-MA, Dolby Digital Plus and Dolby TrueHD and DTS Downmix."
I set it to the DTS/Dolby D 5.1CH Setting on the Xtreamer and Used Direct on the AVR. Seems to sound better. More open sound than setting it to DTS on the AVR.
Is this the pass-through method?

I'm not sure because I don't have an Xtreamer but in my Blu-ray player and Mede8er there is a "pass-through" setting meaning the player just "passes" on the signal untouched to the receiver which will do the decoding instead of the player. When you choose DTS on the Xtreamer then that is not pass-through, you are asking the player to decode DTS. Again I'm just guessing since I don't have any experience with Xtreamer players.

I just understood how the settings work. The AV Setup->HDMI Audio On enables the "passthrough". The DTS/Dolby D 5.1 CH setting is for using an Optical Connection.
Now that I have it right, Do I turn on "DTS" Listening Mode, or just use "Direct" Mode?
Super thanks for the patience.

Use Direct as long as the output is in 5 channels. And I think Onkyo 709 is better than the Denon 1912. The 1912's counterpart is Onkyo 609.

A thousand thank you's Sir Conan!
Now have things setup right.
I thought I messed up my connections or I had to buy another NMT!!!
Last question, if I may...
Is it normal to have the delay for the audio to start up?
-

-

Same question as Courage. If the answer is yes, this is normal for a digital connection hooked up to a receiver. Use the analogue outputs instead for listening to CD's and there will be no delay.

Yes.. That's what happens..
My workaround.. "Pause" The movie or music then play.. minimizes the startup delay..
Hehehe..
Thanks again for your valuable advice from experience!
Still earning mine.. slowly buy surely...

One more observation:
When I used the Audyssey setup, my Level Cal is at -12dB for the speakers... Is that right?
Update:
I changed my Media Player already.
Xtreamer, Mk1, has no HD Audio Passthrough, only the Xtreamer Sidewinder and Pro has it.
Got a cheap bang for the buck Kaiboer 130i.
Loving it. Clear and Crisp PQ and it has HD Audio Passthrough.

You have to re-do the audyssey auto set-up & make sure none of the trim levels are at -12 or +12 dB (–15 to +12 dB for the Sub). Here's the thread for audyssey set-up from AVS forum for your guidance.

I read the guide on the AVS forum and it said that the subs trim shouldn't hit -15db which is it's max.
So I redid my Audyssey setup.
I tweaked it till the Subs trim went up to -7db.
The other channels stayed the same at -12db, so I just adjusted them manually to -8db each.
Why? I don't know why!!!
Hahahaha..
Anyone who could give me insight on what I did, if it is wrong or should I make any more adjustments?
It sounds good though. Way better than when it was all at their maximum trims, -12 and -15 respectively for the other channels and the sub.

There must be something wrong with the way you run the auto set-up. I also get undesirable values like distance, trim levels, speaker size pero pinagtiyagaan ko binasa mga tips from this forum at sa labas. I'm now experiencing the "magic" of Audyssey auto set-up. Para sa akin, Anlayo ng difference ng auto calibrated kesa sa manual tweaking.

Okidoks. Thanks for the feedback!
I haven't changed much of my methods kasi. I just tried that thing with the sub where I lower the volume if I get a very low trim set. I turned it to 9o'clock and then I was able to get a higher trim for the subs, which turned out to be -7.
However, the other channels were still the same at -12db which is the lowest trim level for them.
Distance measurements are pretty accurate though.
I read through the Audyssey guide and I couldn't find anything yet on how to improve my auto-setup for the other channels.
Am I doing it wrong by putting the setup mic on top of the backrest of my couch and move it forward to my listening position? Because that's the approximate ear level for me.
I use a 509 btw and the EQ setup is for 3 positions only, so I basically use the center of the couch, the far left and the far right.
*Clueless noob mode*
-
Ok, so I re-did things again, this time with a tripod naman as per advise of the Audyssey setup guide.
I did calibration by putting the mic on a tripod on the couch for center (Position 1), then I moved to the right by 1meter (Position 2), with the tripod on the floor, but maintaining height of Pos 1. Then I moved the tripod to the left of Pos 1 by 1 meter as well.
My room dimensions are about 12 ft x 8ft with a low ceiling of 7ft.
My Speaker Cal based on Audyssey 2EQ are as follows:
Front: -12
Surround: -12
Center: -11
Sub: -9
Speaker Distance Measurements are pretty accurate.
All Speakers are set to Small and my Crossover is set at 100Hz.
The result of my A2EQ calibration is good for music, background movie sounds and games, however, I feel like my center speaker isn't being driven properly because when I turn up it's volume via Level Cal, the sound quality is still very sharp and tiring to listen to in the mid area, but my bass and highs are really good.

Hhhhmm I've never encountered negative settings like those. My fronts are normally at 0 then -5 to 6 for center and then -2 for my rears. Regarding sound quality have you tried turning on Dynamic Volume?

Oo nga e.. I've been lurking in the Ask Audyssey website, and the guy there pointed out that the mic should be at least 18" away from the wall. My couch is backed up to the wall. And I placed the mic at the center position which is less than 18" from the wall..
Sayang, I'm out of the house right now.. I hope that could help.
Regarding Dynamic Volume, yes, I tried it also. It works like a compressor right? Light setting sounds good, but sometimes I still need to increase the volume via level cal for the dialogue. Heavy setting is very compressed sound already for me.

Sir, what is actual distance between your couch and your center speaker? the negative setting might be due to the proximity of your calib mic when placed on your sofa and your center speaker. Second, is your center speaker in between shelves of an audio rack or on top of a glass AV rack or on a dedicated speaker stand? baka kase nakakainterfere sa audyssey measurement ang mga ito, IMHO. :)

Sir jao143.,
The distance between the center speaker and my seat is between 5-6 feet only.
The speaker is on top of a low TV cabinet. which is almost 2feet high.
Thanks for the assist!

My guess: that could be the reason why you are registering a negative DB in your audyssey measurement. I think it is too near, well, I could be wrong...
-
Yup.
Even the Audyssey guy said this:
"This looks like a pretty normal setup. The levels are set so that you can listen at reference with the volume control at 0 dB. It's best to avoid -12 dB trims because it could indicate that the AVR has run out of range. But, there is not much you can do about that unless you find another way to attenuate the speaker levels."
After doing some more research also, I realized that since my couch is backed up against a concrete wall, the setup mic may be also picking up additional reflecting sounds.
So, I'm thinking of putting up thick curtains behind my couch to dampen any sound that would bounce back from the wall.
The ceiling is pretty soft since it's gypsum board material lang so I don't thing it adds that much compared to the concrete wall.

mga braders at masters, patulong naman. i have an onkyo 606 and can't seem to have my hdmi input device show on my hdtv that is connected to the hdmi out of the receiver. pag sini-setup ko naman yung receiver, lumalabas yung GUI sa hdtv screen pero when i try the hdmi input (htpc), nagpi-flicker once yung hdtv as if na-recognize nya then mawawala then it would say "no signal". can anyone help pls. i'm getting frustrated already... :(

handshake issues? have you tried searching on the net for possible problems with your video card when connected to an AVR?
if you may, indicate the vid card you're using and its resolution output.

i'm using an igp videocard sir. it's an ati 4200 which can output 1080p resolution. my hdtv also supports the same resolution. haven't tried searching the net yet for answers but i will later on. just thought i can get a quick fix to this annoying issue. :(

answer might be simple but let me try to help you pinpoint the problem nalang.
1. may video ba kapag htpc direct to tv? - we can rule out issue with AVR if it still does not work.
2. have you downloaded the latest ati catalyst driver? - some web searches reveal issues with linux and your vid card, if you are using linux.

I think problema talaga sa onkyo yan. Try connecting to other HDMI inputs on your Onkyo, and see if it has any difference. When I connect my pc on my onkyo thru PC HDMI, i get on/off connection with audio. When I try it on BD HDMI, it has continuous connection but having trouble with audio.

Sir jao143.,
The distance between the center speaker and my seat is between 5-6 feet only.
The speaker is on top of a low TV cabinet. which is almost 2feet high.
Thanks for the assist!
Hey guys!
Update Lang uli!
But before this, thanks uli sa lahat Ng mga PDVD Big Bros!
Really REALLY Appreciate it. (",)
After all the advise (Thanks Sir Courage, Sir Conan, Sir jao143 and Sir Onkyo606), and the research combined, I have achieved better sound!
<Yahoo!>
Settings:
Speakers = All Small and 80Hz Crossover
New Addition:
Auralex MoPads!
- Got rid of most of the tiring and harsh Mid tones that were there at those settings.
- I can hear more detail. Whispers are heavy-clear and dialogue is felt and heard.
Thanks Mike C! Usap tayo uli soon para I can visit Grace-land!
I put a pair on each of my A3's and two pairs on my A6.
Most of the harsh midtones came from the direct contact of the center speaker on the wooden surface of my Entertainment Center.
Now I can really appreciate my HT setup and Onkyo 509 Amp. (",)
Muchos Gracias Amigos!
Next project:
Heavy drapes behind my couch and bass trap (",)

I've already deduced the problem to be the receiver. I've tried a different hdmi input device on my denon and it worked. when i tried it on the onkyo receiver, it does the same thing (flickers on initial connection then displays the "no signal" error on the lcd tv). I've tried connecting the htpc to my lcd tv and it works just fine. anyway, thanks for all your input guys. i really appreciate it. :D

I am using kaiboer h1055 and I got movie files with DD -THD and DTS MA audio. the kaiboer is connected via HDMI to my Onkyo 608 and the audio is setup on RAW.
How should I get the ONKYO display those signals? Thanks. ::)

Good day! I have an Onkyo 509 and I used a Kaiboer k130i with it previously. When I set it to Raw, my receiver detects it as True Hd or DTS Master Audio.
Flip around the different "Movie" settings on your Onkyo remote.
@Onkyo guys:
Have you tried the Onkyo iPhone app?
It's a cool way to play music with the TV off.
Tipid sa LCD screen burn and power consumption.
Cover art is also visible.
Happy listening!

JC thanks for the info.. i have done that already, but to no avail. In what particular setting did you do to your onkyo bro? thanks again
-
JC thanks for the info.. i have done that already, but to no avail. In what particular setting did you do to your onkyo bro? thanks again
The Onkyo does not need any specific settings (except for the proper assignment of the HDMI port to the corresponding media player). At factory default, if the media player properly outputs HD audio, you can simply switch through the different audio settings using the "Movie" button on the RC as posted by jcsantamarina in case auto detection does not work for any reason. My Onkyo 1008 defaults at "All Ch Stereo" when there is no signal and then automatically switches to DTS-HD, TrueHD, DTS, DD or PLIIx, whichever audiostream it receives from the PCH.
What's the indication on the front LCD panel of your Onkyo when you play a file with DTS-HD or TrueHD? DTS and Pro-Logic respectively or something else?
Your Kaiboer is set to pass-through DTS-HD and TrueHD audio right? The INFO coming out of the Kaiboer indicates that the files are indeed outputting HD audiostream right?
-
JC thanks for the info.. i have done that already, but to no avail. In what particular setting did you do to your onkyo bro? thanks again
Oh.. one more thing about the Kaiboer..
When you change the audio output settings, you have to reboot it.
Hope it will work this time.
-
Clondalkin -- the display is just DTS. Thanks to your input.
JC - I will try your suggestion rebooting the kaiboer after chanign audio output. Thanks din. ;)

Finally that elusive DD-TrueHD displayed on my Onkyo ;D Thanks to all!

Great to hear that! Congrats!
Hey guys, I recently gOt a 1.5KW Voltage Regulator for my TV and Onkyo 509.
Is it just me or did that just help in improving the overall sound of my setup. I noticed that the audio is tighter and much much pleasing to watch videos.
Had a blast watching a "Toto" video concert. (",)
Question, should I include the NMT and the Subwoofer sa AVR? (",)
-
hello guy . .Onkyo sound good for movies :) Can anyone share their setting for normal music playback? As I am not getting the same results as I am getting with movie playback . .
If the music playback still does not improve, maybe I would buy a stereo amp in the future . .Thanks in advance for sharing :)

you will find it difficult to achive the SQ produced by a dedicated two channel stereo in a receiver, the closest perhaps that can satisfy you is to set your receiver to Direct or Pure Audio mode.

Hi guys...,
How to appear trueHD in onkyo receiver? it only apprears in my ps3 when i press "select" while watching BD movies but not in my receiver.
My set up is 5.1 and the ps3 audio settings is set to automatic via HDMI.

pa comment naman po about sa 608 and 509 magkaprice range kasi sila eh.. thanks
imo, parang mas maganda pa rin yung 608. THX certified na and w/ banana plug inputs. i think yung plus lang ng 509 is yung network capability.
-

Kung ako tatanungin, mas pipiliin ko yung may network capability kaysa sa may banana plug inputs. Bnana plug or not, same speakers, same sound. ;D
Pero ung usefulness ng having to access your network is priceless hehe! :D
And for me, THX is just a badge, nothing useful, but that's just me.
-

Hey dude!
I have a 509 and it has Banana Plug terminals too.
You just have to remove the safety covers put by Onkyo EU.
Another difference to note is that 608 has 7.1 audio while the 509 has 5.1.
I was considering the 608 too, but when I heard of the 509 being available already, and I have a small HT area lang naman, I went for the 509.
I am currently a very happy 509 user.
I'll consider upgrading again, after I've upgraded to a bigger HT area.
Btw, the Network feature is good because I can access my Audio on the Etrayz DLNA server and I can use my iPhone as a remote control.

mga sir, may nais lang sana ako isangguni. meron akong onkyo ht-rc160. ang problema ko is namamatay yung connection between my receiver and hdtv. mawawala for a while yung display sa hdtv (black screen) then after a few seconds, babalik yung display and everything is back to normal. hassle sa panonood kasi nakakabitin lalo na pag maganda na yung scene. ang nabago lang naman sa setup ko is i replaced my fronts with an aaudio tritower floorstander. nung euros floor standers pa gamit ko, di ko naman to na-experience. any help would be greatly appreciated... :(

Try to isolate the video dropout issue by replacing the hdmi cable. Pag ganun pa rin problema, defect yan ng unit mo.

kawawa naman si tritower nasisi pa :'( handshake issue yan brader:
HDMI Handshake Problems
One common problem people experience with HDMI is handshake failure. Sometimes, this is because the HDTV is an older, DVI-based model without HDCP support. But in other cases, there's an easy fix -- unplug your components and power cycle your system. This may reset the authentication cycle and restore your connection.
hth :)
-
Can anyone describe the difference between upscaling capabilities of older onkyo avrs compared to the 2011 models? I'm really curious about the 4k upscaling, night and day ba ang difference?
-
kawawa naman si tritower nasisi pa :'( handshake issue yan brader:
hth :)
ahehe. di naman sa ganon brader weng. naisip ko lang baka di kaya i-power ng onkyo ko yung tritower kaya nagkaganon. nung euros pa kasi gamit ko eh di ko na-experience yung problem. i'll try your suggestion tomorrow. sana nga yun ang sagot sa problema ko. salamat ng marami brader! :D
@ sir nogie
salamat din sa suggestion. i don't think it's the hdmi cable though as i've used the same cable before and it works fine with the previous setup. baka kelangan ko nga lang i-power cycle yung system. :)
-
mga sir, question po. pwede bng dalhin s toyama service center kahit ibang brand ng receiver like HK?

I'm not 100% sure about this but I think that the current displays can't take advantage of the new upscaling chip of the Onkyo since they are only up to 1080P.

Very few pa ang actual 4k displays sa CE market, and there are even fewer 4k 3D ones (mostly high-end projectors and some obscenely-expensive flat panels). Thus, most TVs won't take advantage of the 4k output. Native 4k material is very expensive to begin with.
-
So there's no real advantage for the 4K video for now. Maybe after 5 years, and by then you are obliged to upgrade again... ;D

Brader try mo to...
I posted this also sa HTPC thread few months back but did a little editing ;D
BTW, anong video card nang Dell HTPC mo?
I was able to play my 1080p with DTS-HD mkv's smoothly through Windows Media Player ;D
Here's what I did. First I uninstalled all the codecs (ffdshow, CoreAVC, etc.), all the media players(PDVD10, TMT3, MPC-HC). Then restarted my PC. Then I downloaded and installed Shark007 codec pack and x64 components since I'm using Win7 x64 OS from http://shark007.net/ (http://shark007.net/)
In the Shark007 application I just ticked(checked) Shark007 SUGGESTED settings. Then viola!!! My Animusic mkv file played smoothly with DTS-HD output ;D
Hope this will help you guys too in bitstreaming HD audio with smooth playback.

Yung Video Card ko po is ATI Mobility Radeon 5400 Series.. :D

need advice/help guys. We are currently on the final stages of our Home theater system building in our house. The problem is that I recently talked with the one incharge of setting up and he told me the he placed a TXSR-608 with a 7.1 BOSE speaker system for the AV room and 2 BOSE speaker system for the other rooms. This receiver was for all the speakers that we placed for other parts of the house like in the living room, dining room, etc. And he said that he would make it ipod ready by placing a 3.5mm jack. Checked the Onkyo website and found out that this model is not network/internet ready (don't know the proper term).
Anyways, I opting to change this receiver to ones which are network ready so that i could use my ipod as a remote or stream movies/music to it with out any cables. Should i stick to this receiver and look for a BDplayer/TV which has a bluetooth capability? The scenario that I want is that if ever I want to change the music while Im in the dining room, I don't have to go back to the av room to change it. I don't have an idea on these stuff since its my first time to setup. What should i choose to replace the receiver? Please help me. Thanks..:)

barring any issues with cost, id suggest you get any of the following.
NR 1008
NR 3008
NR 5008
If the cost of the above is quite high you may get atleast NR 808

The speakers are already purchased? I'm not a fan of Bose cube speakers.

@conan,
unfortunately all the speakers were already bought and installed last month before the finishing of the interiors this july.:( They were included in the planning of the house for the wiring and speaker to be hidden/imbeded with the house. I really don't know the exact details, since we basically let the AV specialist on home theater (according to hearsay) here in Davao to plan for the AV setup of our house. It was only now that I found out that I was going to connect my ipod through 3.5mm jack or tuner setup. Is there some other way to make it wireless like bluetooth perphaps?

hi guys,
need help. i'm planning to have a home theater setup at home
what do you think is the best speaker set up partnered with Onkyo TX-SR806?
would an bose acoustimass or cinemate ok?
don't have knowledge yet on setting up but i'm willing to learn from the masters here.
thanks in advance
court
Hindi po ako master sir but tanong ko lang yung budget nyo... ;D
For home theater I think ang magandang partner sa Onkyo are the following:
-Polk Audio RTi series
-Klipsch Reference Mark II series
Sa subwoofer ang one of the best is SVS :D

Very powerful indeed.. @220wpc?.. :o

How much would your budget be and how big is the room? Please don't waste your receiver's potential with Bose speakers. Polk Audio, PSB, Klipsch, Monitor Audio, etc. would perform much better than Bose.

Not sure sir louie if this is 6 or 8ohms.. it is not indicated on the site. ;)

You can audition bookshelf Polk Audios at MLY Enterprise ( AVShop ) along Kalayaan QC. They're open Sundays too. The RTiA3 is also ok with your Onkyo.

brother courtmaster, maraming binabagayan ang onkyo, can be B&W, monitor audio, polk, infinity, jbl, klipsch, tannoy. i have two suki as of now: watt hifi at makati cinema square and avshop at kalayaan ave. near qc hall. both are good vendors, enough choice, very good customer assist, pwede tumawad.
brother domesday, i used to live in Davao. medyo limited ang choice natin dyan, there are only 3 shops i know: one is licated at the back of Ateneo, they also have a shop in NCCC and the third is beside the car mags/tire dealer owned by Apiong, malapit sa Harry's tire. They carry Denon and Onkyo receivers but kind of little behind, on the speakers they carry bose and wharfedale. If you can sell you bose speakers better, replace them with other brands as mentioned above. The Manila vendors naman are willing to ship. The other option is visit SM Davao, they carry marantz, kenwood, yamaha, pioneer and teac receivers; speakers mardaunt short, pioneer and kenwood.
i hope this helps.

talk about a back breaker
i was very excited to finally complete setting up my system in the new house, took me three days to do so, finally got to do some test wihtout running audyssey yet, was very happy with the result, now why the back breaker?
when i turned on my receiver, an ONKYO HT RC180 yesterday morning, it acted up, first time it happenes ina year and a half, it wont turn on and the red light indicating stand by mode just kept blinking, remove the plug then plugged again but same result, then i pushed the power button once then the display panel got activated but quickly died dwon again then i pressed hard again, finally it got activated and I was able to finsih one movie without issues. Then i tried it again this morning, same thing happened.
What could be the issue? Am I seeing the end of my precious receiver? I hope not.

Maybe the power button is just acting up sir. I have a Jurassic Onkyo Tx Sr600 that's been with me for 12 years na and still no problem encountered. Built to last at a ang Onkyo ah. ;D Still it sucks when something like that happens :(

Bro,
Try turning it on nang walang naka connect. Remove all cable connections(Speakers, HDMI, RCA's, Optic, Coax etc..). This is just to isolate the problem.. Pag nangyari pa rin then it's your receiver.. Pag hindi nangyari then isa sa mga cables ang defective..

Yup, same suggestion here. Tirso actually text me about this issue earlier today and I suggested the same thing. Disconnect all connections. Just plug the receiver and switch it "on" to see if the delemma still occurs. Process of elimination lang para malaman kung ano talaga ang may problema. :)

i did this, same thing happened, when you turn it on the red light blinks, after about two minutes, it turns on and works flawlessly even at cranked up volume. it pains me as i have never heard my set up sound this good and only after setting it up in our new house. i hope im not seeing the end of my receiver as this one served me well for 1.5 years already
thanks brader courage.

yes sir. it never occurred to my avr. nmt din gamit ko. maybe sa movie file mo yan sir.
my listening mode preset in mono/2ch sources are set to stereo, while the multi channel sources are set to straight decode. so naka stereo pag ka on. when i play a movie in multichannel audio, the clicking sound happens at the very start because dinedecode siguro ng avr yung multi channel codec. everytime i stop or pause the movie playback, it shifts back to stereo, then when i resume play nagckiclick ulit before magappear yung dts/dolby sa avr ...something like that.
-
maraming salamat po sa lahat ng nag post about the issue ng receiver ko.
yesterday everything worked well already,according to a good friend must be the back up battery na na discharged kaya matagal sya mag on after the blinking.
i hope tuloy tuloy na wala ng pang bili ng bago eh
maraming salamat pong muli sa lahat ng nag bigay ng insights at payo sa mga dapat kung gawin.

I'm also having an issue with my HT-RC180: It wont play movies in 9.1. It used to , when I had mainly Sony BS, but now I have mainly FS it wont play 9.1. I was on the phone to Onkyo in New Jersey for over an hour. The CS rep thinks either something has gone kaput inside of the receiver may not be powerful enough to handle 4 FS, 4 BS 1 Cen and 1 SUB. What do you think?

Hi mga boss!! Im new into the auidio stuff and i just want to ask if compatible ba ung speaker ng Sony DAV-DZ270K (http://www.sony.com.ph/product/dav-dz270k?tabName=specifications) sa Onkyo 609/709? Im planning to buy either of those receivers and i'll just use the sony speakers kase mag iipon muna ulit ako for new set of speakers. :)
Thanks!

It should work based on specs but those specs maybe over rated. :)

uu boss malapit na. :) Ang ouput ng 609 is 6ohms dba? So dapat mas malaki ung ohms ng speakers or else mahihirapan ung 609 "i-drive" ung speakers. Yung Sony DAV-DZ270k kse 3ohms rated lahat ng speaker nila pati subs (http://www.sonystyle.com.hk/ss/product/av/dav_dz270k_e.jsp). Tama po ba understanding ko? ???

Mga sir question lang po..
Normal lang po ba na nagiinnit pa rin ang onkyo receiver natin kahit naka passtru lang sya (connected hdmi cable to the plasma)?. napansin ko po kasi mejo mainit pa rin yung receiver kahit naka passtru lang yung light inidicator kahit po kasi nood lang ako ng tv.. is there any way to turn it off?. Thanks in advance mga master.

Sir Conan,
I noticed that too on my 509.
Does it consume a lot of electricity? Or just a bit higher than standby mode? Thanks!
-
Mga Masters,
Tanong lang, saan ba icoconnect kapag 6.1 set up ang rear center surround speaker, sa left or right rear terminal ba ng AVR? BTW, I'm using 805. Thanks :)
EDITED:
Ok na mga masters.
As per AVSForums sa SURR BACK LEFT terminals daw ;D
-
Sir Conan,
I noticed that too on my 509.

Not sure about the consumption but I would imagine it would be more than standby mode as the amp heats up a bit.
-
Yes that's normal. The only way to avoid the heat is to not use pass-through.
Ok sir Conan salamat po.. ;) by the way pano po turn off yung passtru?.. 608 po gamit ko..

Mga brader! Im on the market to buy ONKYO 709 but i don't know kung san bibili kung online ba or local store. Mahal kase pag sa local eh compared pag online (kasama na shipping). Pag sa online ako bumili ung warranty ba dun sa retailer (ex Amazon) din? Salamat!

thats the trade-off between imported and local av equipments.the former cost cheaper but no local warranty and in most cases not 220v, while the latter has warranty and 220v but you need to pay more.

i see. i might consider buying 609 from our local stores coz ung price hnd naman ganun kalayo. but for the 709 its way too expensive here at our local stores. I guess the big difference between the 609 and 709 is their Audyssey. Since this is just my first receiver, might as weel start with the mid-entry level 609 and upgrade from there. :)

I was just about to ask what is the use of pre outs. hehe..
Anyway, follow up question, since ill be buying a 609 or 709, how will i connect my logitech z5500 to the receiver since the logitech has it's own "audio processing". Can i just connect the speakers/satellites to the receiver? How about the subs?
edit: in other words, how can i make my receiver to process the sound instead of the internal processing of z5500? Thanks! :)

Need help in setting up my AVR.
When I power on the amp, the display panel shows "Resolution Error" but after a signal is fed to it, from NMT or DVD it does not show anymore. I'm using a 720p plasma thru HDMI. What settings do I need to set? I tried "pass through" and "720p" in monitor out of the menu but still it shows the error message.

That's normal with Onkyo. I think it has got something to do with HDMI shakehands, because after a while it's ok.

I don't experience this with my set-up though my TV is 1080P resolution.

I'm using a panasonic 5-meter HDMI cable which has no issues with my previous Denon amp. This error did not affect the performance or usage though but I just want to get rid of that error message during start up. I thought that it has to do with the set up only coz when the NMT is playing or changing from one source to the other, the error message is gone. I will post a pic of the error message later.

Most probably depending on the TV or the video source. Because as Sir Conan said, he never experience it. I'm using a Samsung by the way.

I get resolution error message on my Onkyo 1008 whenever I set the media player (PCH) to a PAL setting that is not supported by my TV - which implies that the Onkyo is correctly passing through the signal that is sent out from the source, but my TV can't display it.
My suggestions:
1. Try to upgrade the FW of your Onkyo to the latest one. I did this the 1st time I powered my 1008, and there was in fact an update available (as of May 2011)
2. Have you tried setting all sources and the Onkyo to 1080p? I noted that your Plasma is 720p but it should be compatible with 1080p input via HDMI, unless it's a very very very old model.
3. All your sources (NMT, DVD, etc.) are also set to 720p right now? I think I've seen transient resolution error when I switch from a 720p source to a 1080p source. Transient because the error is gone once you hear that characteristic TIK TIK sound of the Onkyo as it recognizes a signal from a source.

tanong lang po sa mga masters ng pdvd.kapag nagplay po ako ng movie sa ps3 na nakakabit sa onkyo 609 ko wala pong audio na lumalabas sa avr..ito po file ng movie: video codec avc 3.1 mbps audio codec aac 259 kbps..kapag yung audio pinalabas ko sa tv meron naman,kapag nilagay ko na sa avr thru optical walang sound..ano po kayang problem? salamat po sa mga sasagot.. ;D

Sinubukan mo nang ilakas ng husto ang volume ng AVR? One thing I noticed about AAC, sobrang hina ng volume via AVR. Baka lang..hehehe

pero kapag sa tv lang ilalabas yung audio meron naman..kapag sa avr na wala ng audio..
-
tanong lang po sa mga masters ng pdvd.kapag nagplay po ako ng movie sa ps3 na nakakabit sa onkyo 609 ko wala pong audio na lumalabas sa avr..ito po file ng movie: video codec avc 3.1 mbps audio codec aac 259 kbps..kapag yung audio pinalabas ko sa tv meron naman,kapag nilagay ko na sa avr thru optical walang sound..ano po kayang problem? salamat po sa mga sasagot.. ;D
Sir,try mo HDMI connection.from your ps3 HDMI out connect to the hdmi input of 609.curious lng ako bka hindi nka assign ng tama ang optical input ng 609 mo.

I get resolution error message on my Onkyo 1008 whenever I set the media player (PCH) to a PAL setting that is not supported by my TV - which implies that the Onkyo is correctly passing through the signal that is sent out from the source, but my TV can't display it.
My suggestions:
1. Try to upgrade the FW of your Onkyo to the latest one. I did this the 1st time I powered my 1008, and there was in fact an update available (as of May 2011)
2. Have you tried setting all sources and the Onkyo to 1080p? I noted that your Plasma is 720p but it should be compatible with 1080p input via HDMI, unless it's a very very very old model.
3. All your sources (NMT, DVD, etc.) are also set to 720p right now? I think I've seen transient resolution error when I switch from a 720p source to a 1080p source. Transient because the error is gone once you hear that characteristic TIK TIK sound of the Onkyo as it recognizes a signal from a source.
1. will update now and see if it will fix the error message.
2. i have tried it on 1080p already and my plasma can take 1080p signal. i have not checked the output of my NMT though, will give it a look.
3. NMT & DVD are set to 720p. yes, the error message is transient only and shows up during start up when no signal is sent to the amp. i have not experienced it when changing from 720p to 1080p.
btw, here's the error message on the display.
(http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a165/weng2x/DSCF6602.jpg)

updated the firmware and changed the Popcorn output setting to 1080p/60hz (from 1080p/24hz) and NTSC/PAL from (NTSC/PAL 24hz). the resolution error message is gone during start up.
don't know which of the above changes fixed the error, nevertheless the problem was solved :)
thanks sir clondalkin and to the rest who gave their suggestions ;)

Hi guys My 606 didnt come with a mic. Can i borrow drom someone to calibrate my speakers? I tried using a friends mic from a yamaha. Doesnt seem to work. Nag eeror

The answer is no. As per audyssey website, you should use the same calibration mic that came with the receiver.

Good day fellow Onkyo users
got my 608 yesterday....its hooked up with Samsung 32in UA5000 LED Full HD TV...Sony Ps3 for the source....I have questions
1. Is it me or theres a significant loss of resolution or picture quality when I plug the ps3 to the av as compared to the straight to the monitor?
2. even if the display in the PS3 says its using Dolby True HD/DTS....its just says PCM in the av's display?
next....is there a professional color calibrator that you can hire to fix your tv's resolution? Im not so happy with the preset picture modes of the samsung
thanks!!
BTW the Onkyo sooooooooooounds awesome!!!

Set audio mode of PS3 to Bitstream.

With regard to picture quality, set the Onkyo to "Through" mode though sometimes the receiver will still try to upscale in spite of this. You can turn off the Onkyo's video processing by pressing the VCR button and then the Return button. Press it until you see the message "V.Processor Skip". The quality should now match hooking up the PS3 directly to the TV. But you will lose the on screen menu by doing this.
-
No on screem menu? As in no GUI?

Would this work din kaya with older Onkyo AVRs like the 805?
Pano kaya mag passthrough dito?
Wala kasing option na "Through" sa HDMI seetings nya.

Hi Guys,question lang regarding Onkyo 609-
and feedbacks or reviews? or suggestions of other AVR?
planning to setup my own HT in my room, room size is around 20sqm. don't have much idea on setting up. and may mga nabasa ako na to step by step lang..para hindi mabigla sa gastos.
any suggestion on brands and stores?

About dun sa wireless i think hindi pwede. You need an avr that supports Airplay which the ONKYO receiver doesn't support. Another avr option is ung Denon 1912. You cannot go wrong with either of them. :)
-
hi sir, nasa how much ung denon? :D and can it support ung wireless?
does Denon 1912 comparable to Onkyo 609 in overall performance?
-
hi sir, nasa how much ung denon? :D and can it support ung wireless?
does Denon 1912 comparable to Onkyo 609 in overall performance?
Those two receivers are fairly new so there isn't much feedback yet from end users.
-
Notice how really SHORT the 2011 Onkyo AVR cases are? So what discrete components did they take out or scale down physically inside compared to the previous years' models?
-
hi sir, nasa how much ung denon? :D and can it support ung wireless?
does Denon 1912 comparable to Onkyo 609 in overall performance?
I think with the same price range, they are equally comparable. Depende nalang if you want the sound of Denon or Onkyo. I've auditioned both and both are very good receivers. One thing i noticed is that with Denon, the bass has more kick into it. Plus din kase ung Airplay ng Denon since i have apple products. :) Hope next line ng mga Onkyo receivers meron narin Airplay.
Pwede yung Onkyo ng wireless but i think you have to but the dongle and i don't know if its available locally. :)
-
thanks for the inputs sir! :)
did some researching din.. mukha sold na ako sa denon1912..hopefully my budget na ako in time.. now my next problem, what subs and speakers to pair with denon? i really want to feel the bass but at the same time i want to hear the clarity of the voices when talking,, or am i going out of the topic?

Maybe you have an HDMI handshake problem. Unplug the receiver and tv from the electrical outlet for about 5 minutes. Plug them both in and then always turn on the receiver first before turning on the TV.

sir, have you tried directly plugging the xtreamer to the tv to identify if the sync issue is on the xtreamer not the onkyo? if it doesn't happen if you do it that way have you tried adjusting the time alignment settings on your avr?

yes directly is it ok.
@trigo:
Question 1: Is it an avi file?
I've noticed that on some of the avi files of tv shows that I got.
However, I have no problems with mkv files.
That's why I seldom get avi versions na and stick with mkv.
Better resolution as well.
Question 2: How are you connected to the AVR? HDMI, Optical or RCA?
Check the different output options available on the Xteamer.
I used to own an Xtreamer and I remember there are HDMI Compatibility settings on the latest firmware.
Hope you could fix it soon.
Have a great weekend guys!
-
yes directly is it ok.
there is also an option when you press SETUP on the remote then choose 4 then 3, it says 4-3 A/V Sync. There is a millisecond adjustment there and the description says "for matching(synchronizing) audio with visual signal".
If it does not work go to 7-3 HDMI, it says Lip Sync, how about trying to enable that?

Both are turned on in my Onkyo 608, not sure what you have to do in order to get both running though.
-
hi sir Conan everytime kasi i turn on the dolby volume on audio adjust menu, it turns off the dynamic eq when i check the menu on source set up - audyssey. And when I do it vice versa its turns off the dolby and turns on the dynamic eq.

You are correct, Dynamic volume was what I was referring to instead of Dolby volume.

Sir comet, have you experience any issues with your 3008? Sa akin kasi, it shuts down w/o apparent reason. Gumagamit ako ng AVR at stable naman yong current kasi hindi tumutunog ng AVR as a sign na me power fluctuation. I read from avs forum na maraming issues ang 2010 onkyo models from 708-5008. Worried ako baka bigla na lang masira to, halos hindi ko pa nagagamit.

so far sir di pa nangyari sa akin yun. I read also stories about that and because I too was worried it could happen to my unit, I had my unit attached with fan from sir jojo and had a power amp next to it just to make sure hindi siya overworked. The only issue i had with it was the clicking sound which disappeared when I changed my nmt. I always try to use it maybe 3 to 4 times in a week just to see if something pops up. Nakapag-firmware upgrade na kayo sir Nogie?
-
Andami kasi nagkaproblema eh, mukhang hardware issue kasi wala pa ako nababasa na naayos thru FW upgrade. Sana hindi masira yong unit natin. Mahal ang shipping pabalik sa US.

sana nga sir nothing happens, happy pa naman ako with this especially with its 9 channel fh and fw usability.

+1, try to calibrate the sub (with the gain knob at 9-10 o clock) then the result should be closer to 0 or +/- 3 db. then once you listen to it, and you find the sub's output too thin, then you can adjust to as much as +5 db hot.

Patulong mga prens. When i'm listening to 2-ch audio using the Pure Audio or Direct mode, the sub out is not activated on my NR1007. This only happens if the source is NMT thru HDMI, CD player thru toslink and internet radio. The sub is set always to ON sa audio adjustment. Sa internet radio naman, the sub will activate if you reset the audio setting to sub OFF then ON.
Is there a workaround here to keep it ON or OFF as you like and not just OFF all the time?

Nangyari na kinakatakutan ko sa aking Onkyo TX-NR3008.
http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1339186
Last night while watching Cars 2, screen suddenly turned blue. Receiver does not respond to anything from remote control commands, pressing power button, volume knob, inputs .... wala ayaw talaga!
Good thing I bought my item from Amazon.com
Amazon customer service is topnotch!!! They will cover the cost of repair or should I accept it, they are offering a refund of $75 plus $50 gift card that I can use anytime when purchasing an item sold by Amazon.
Galing ng Amazon! Sana ganito rin mga retailer sa Pilipinas!
Below is Amazon's CS response:
Hello,
I'm sorry to hear that you received the defective item though the information was listed on the manufacturer's website.
At this point, I'd ask you to repair the item locally and write back to us with the amount. We'll refund you the amount.
Or if you're interested in keeping the item, I'd like to offer you a refund of $75.00. To accept this refund, let us know and we'll issue the refund to your credit card.
In case if you don't want to keep the item, you're welcome to return the item for full refund. Unfortunately, we won't be able to refund you the return shipping cost.
Please click on the link below and let us know which option you'd prefer so we can take care of it for you.

Ayos to ah. Might consider to purchase from Amazon the next time i upgrade my AVR. Kala ko kase hindi you need to send them the AVR to have it repaired in the US pro pwede pala locally tpos shoulder nlng nila cost. :)

Not sure though if its applicable to all AVR purchase. In my case kasi, the manufacturer (Onkyo) acknowledge that there is a flaw in their 2010 models (708-5008).

OT: top notch talaga ang return policy ng amazon. i once bought a replacement laptop battery but when i received it after almost 2 months it did not fit properly. the allowed refund date had already lapsed but when i told them that i just recently got it because i lived in the philippines, they told me to send it back. they paid the return shipping + the battery cost to my credit card.

Brought my unit in West Avenue for repair:
Onkyo service center in West Avenue told me that the problem is a minor fix. Marami na raw narepair nila na local unit and Onkyo Japan had acknowledge that there is a problem & identified the culprit. Problem is a chemical causing the circuit board to corrode. According to them, they will only have to replace a socket, in some cases yong cable daw at lalabhan daw nila sa sabon at tubig yong circuit board kung kumalat na yong chemical. Yon nga lang tumaas na yong repair fee for units na galing sa labas, yong dating rate na P900 naging P2,500 na. ;D ;D

Galing ng Amazon! Walang retailer dito sa Pinas na mag-offer ng refund or return sa nabili mo na na item. Local warranty will only cover repairs but not refund or replacement. Kaya yong $50 na gift card ko binili ko agad ng Kindle Fire. ;D ;D

Siguro bro pag nagmanifest na lang. Ika nga nila, don't fix it if ain't broken. ;D. Basta biglang lumipat ng input while watching movie manifestation na yon at hindi tatagal mas frequent na yong pagloloko hanggang hindi mo na makontrol.

boss nogie,
when you bought the avr from amazon, did you have the item shipped directly to the philippines? or shipped to a US address then shipped to the Philippines.
this is indeed great news for a lot of us who would like to purchase online but are concerned over potential warrantly claims.
thanks

It was shipped to US address before shipping out to Manila. At first, Amazon contested that item was freightforwarded ergo, it will not be covered by any warranties. I pointed out that issue was "flaw" on the model (not because it was freightforwarded) as experienced by numerous owners in the US.

Hi guys, question lang po. Upgraded from 705 to 809, dati yung upconverting video transparent sa 705 now sa 809 seems a little complicated. Lots of choices like through, direct, custom, and 3 others i forgot. Question is what setting ang piliin ko? To complicate the matter, mayron din video setting yung PJ and the source, what will be the best? THanks!
Sa dark scenes kasi parang malabo yung mga tao and masyado yung white sa background, even my 12 year old sone noticed this when I was testing the receiver. thanks ulit!
-
I am amazed on the Bi-Amp capability of the 609. Have anyone tried this? ;)

Here's my suggestion sir.. set the Onkyo to 'pass-through' para walang alteration sa video signal. Then make the adjustments sa projector. You will need a calibration disc. Most likely sa brightness and contrast yan. But it could also be the other settings in the video chain that's causing the problem. If you want I can help you configure the settings and do some basic calibration. But I'm not an expert a..

I think sometime i have read here an issue on the Onkyo 608's audio delay and I have observed this to be true. I hooked my pioneer DVD player on the Onkyo 608 and played a CD music. Truly when I pushed the play button of the player and the the music is started, the beginning 1 or 2 seconds of the music is not amplified. any explanation for this? ::)

Di lang Onkyo ang ganyan sir. Pati ibang AVR... the delay is because the AVR is taking 1-2 seconds to determine the right codec to use so it can play the audio.. I have experienced other AVR's bnew na ganyan.. Some AVR's now are faster kaya di mo manonotice... Using Analog connection doesnt do that because walang digital conversion of signal na nangyayari.. Derecho sa speakers ang tunog..

just to give you an idea. NR 809 can be had here locally for around 65K but if you get it from amazon, landed is around 42K only,landed meaning inclusive of shipping,1009 is around 1200 USD pero dito 75K for better price reference, check with amazon.com for current pricing of the 508.

you may bump into a cheaper one oneday. but your US version Onkyo is also up to task, so no need to upgrade :)

i've read that thread too...i think 120volts. but if 220volts, it can go higher than 42k?
may sale ngayon dito ng nr 3008 and 1008.i guess they are trying to liquidate these items to give way to the new models.

hi Guys, gurus,
need help.
I have an onkyo TX SR706 (110V). I have a friend who's willing to trade his Onkyo 606 (220V). My dilemma are:
1. budget wise, I need decent fronts (currently have satellite speakers for mid-size room)
2. considering I have velodyne VRP 1000 (110V), which by the way I'm also considering on trading or selling and get US Audio 512.
3. specs wise? I really don't know. I'm literally a newbie on HT, but loves music and movies.
4. regarding price for each - am i on the "lugi" side or not?
5. One of the reasons I'm considering trading my receiver is because, budget wise, I need to make ipon for a better fronts (or complete 5.1) and 2nd, given both (receiver and sub) are 110V, I have to invest on high quality AVR or stepdown transformer, which I don't have. And will not be getting as I can/may use the funds for speakers.
I know, some would react as to retain my former, but then again, I need funds for decent speakers to complete my set.
Hope any of you can share your thoughts on this.
Thanks.

But because of the influx of imported Onkyo AVRs that is flooding the market, Onkyo Toyama has increased the labor fee from P900 to P2,500.

Hey guys! Help me decide.
I'm doing some Pre-Christmas window shopping and I'm deciding if I should get a TXNR 809 or the HT RC370.
I'm currently using a 509.
Will be getting it (cheap) from Amazon, and I don't have any worries sa shipping cost because someone can bring it over naman.
Thanks!

IMO, if purely features upgrade lang ang habol mo (7.2 pre-outs, MultiEQ XT, etc.,) the HT-RC370 would suffice.
Pero if you like to get a substantial boost in power (and get all the additional features as well,) go for the 809.
Either way di ka magsisisi as both models are a significant jump over your current one.

mga sirs,
which is better for a 5.1 set-up? an Onkyo 509 or Onkyo 609? I'll set it up for our living room with a dimension of 8m x 3m. No divider for the dining area. Maybe I'll pair it up on POLK RTI A3 speakers. 80% movie 20% Music..Thanks

609 has more power and features compared to the 509.

ilang watts ba difference ng 509 sa 609?pareho atang entry level tong dalawang model.i've read somewhere na maririnig mo lang ang improvement sa mid level model na in onkyos case is 809 ata.so i think kung sa power walang masyadong difference,sa features baka mayroon pang improvement

If you can afford the 709 go for it because you'll have the option for pre-out just incase mabitin ka sa power you'll have the option to use external power amp. But between the two, I'll go with 609 ;)

The higher the model the better... Higher din nga lang price..

His area isn't very big, so the built-in amp may probably suffice (especially since he's looking at easy to drive speakers).
I truly agree with your suggestion though, mostly because Audyssey MultEQ XT is a serious step up from the included 2EQ in the 609.

Agree. :) 2EQ is as good as no Audyssey for me, but the 509/609 are good receivers for the price nonetheless.

Pa-advice lang mga Brader ano po ba mas ok sa dalawa Onkyo Tx NR809 O Denon AVR 1912 in terms of Movie and Music?
TIA! ;)

I think bro ibang levels yan. The 1912 is more comparable to the Onkyo 609. So performance-wise, mas ok Yung 809. Pero price-wise, Yung 1912. (",)
In terms of movie, I like the sound of Onkyo better than Denon. The opposite goes naman with music. (",)
But that's based on 509 vs Denon 1911. I'll let you know how the 809 sounds, pero mga Jan na. Hehehe..

bro otep_32 tama ka.. salamat sa advice..may sound na thru hdmi...salamat po sa lahat ng nagreply sa tanong ko..the best pdvd.. ;D
Sir,
ano nakalagay sa display ng receiver mo if you set your ps3 to output audio thru HDMI? sakin kasi multichannel and parang mahina ung sound but if you set your ps3 to output audio thru digital out and set your receiver to optical input, the display will be DD or DTS depending on the game and parang mas malakas ung tunog. observation ko lang and just want to know if may kailangang i set if you use HDMI.

@engrjepoy:
Are you using Ps3 fat or slim?
If slim, if you do a little backreading, I remember someone suggested to turn on the bitstream feature on the PS3 Sound Settings. My PS3 is connected via HDMI only and I get either the DTS or DD when I play games. Pero I override it and set it to Game mode. Hehe..

If the game mode already came out, you just have to cycle through the different listening modes. What Onkyo are you using? The X09's normally have their's accessible via "Home" button then selecting "Listening Mode", then Game.

Hello jcsantamarina.
Did your relatives have to take out the 809 from its original carton box then repacked with bubble wraps? My friend and I also got an 809 (nagka-kulaman kaming dalawa) and we're discussing if the sealed Onkyo box would fit as is in a balikbayan box.
Cheers!

Good question bro!
Hehehe.. Hindi kasya! We had to unpack and wrap with towels :) and yung Magic cleaner foams ng biyenan ko..
Plus they're also asking if they can pack it sideways. sabi ko no. Worst case scenario is the front panel should face up. Tama ba?
Magaling naman mag-pack family ko. Kasi I import stuff regularly naman. Make sure maganda lang padding.
Oh one more thing.. my mom suggested to re-pack also even before it arrived to avoid the unnecessary "customs" inquiries. Hehehe.. Pasko kasi. Kahit hindi commercial quantity, maraming "alam mo na"..
-
Thanks for the reply. That's what I'm afraid of. The 809 seems to be as big as my 1008 and the original Onkyo packing is pretty huge and made of strong carton box. Old unused comforters or bubble jackets would even be better than towels. Yeah I think sideways orientation should be avoided but if that has to be the case, as long as walang too much pressure on the front face and the back panel - that means I think the front face should be on the side kasi flat and sturdy yung side panels.
OK, you must be very excited. Cheers!

My yamaha Aventage(BNEW sealed in Yammy box) just arrived. My dad use Forex. My dad just put it in their regular Balikbayan box. Eksakto ang dimension nang Yamaha box except sa height. so nilagyan nang bubble wrap and towels para mapuno yung kakulangan sa height.. May PS3 pang kasama na first model ha ha ha...
Cost 80$ to ship.. Upon checking and testing, walang problem ang unit.. The yamaha box remain intact.. October 20 pinapick up sa Forex. Kaninang umaga dumating... Worth the wait for only 80$ shipping... ;)

Yan ang maganda pag me kamag-anak ka na sa US, (kaya lang sa sobrang busy kamaganak lalong nagtatagal). Di na sinisilip yong laman at kahit brand new sigurado walang tax. Pag naharang na lang sa customs saka ka sasabihan ng forwarding company pero sa experience ko hindi pa nangyari yon kasi hindi naman commercial quantity.
Onkyo receivers from 8XX series up hindi yan papasok kahit sa jumbo balikbayan box. I usually pay usd60-80 pag pinadala as-is. Makikita mo naman yong rate sa odd box shipping calculator.

Sinabi mo pa. Hahaha. Nanay ko dapat 6 months daw lead time kung gusto kong isabay sa boxes nya..para kasing Tayuman UST jeep na kailangang punuin ng sampuan yung pituhan bago lumakad. hehehe. So in most cases, I simply request my Mum to send by airfreight sa PO - as long as hindi masyadong mabigat ang item.
Yeah I double checked yung box ng 809 last night sa store and it's really as big as that of my 1008 because hindi sya yung compact chassis design. I doubt kung papasok as is sa biggest jumbo box. Anyway, I dont need the original box as long as it's properly re-packed - salamat sa kaibigan.

Yung mga mura ay puro legacy decoders lang. Pero may models na magaganda especially if someone does not need DTS-HDMA and TrueHD capabilities.
Denon 3808 ang nakita ko na very interesting ang price and modern featured, pero sa sobrang taas ng Yen these days, very tempting ang prices sa US. Hmmm, mas mataas nga pala grade ng Denon 3808 sa Onkyo 809 and 1008, pero mas modern ang features nung mga Onkyo ko.

Any of those models would do the job fine since all are capable of HDMI connectivity.
I suggest you go the 5 series way... 509 if the budget permits.

For info lang po, i'm looking for an AVR to replace ung nasira kong HK AVR330 then nabasa kong thread na to and learned about Onkyo 809 w/ a selling price dyan sa atin na P65T. Nag checked ako sa website ng Onkyo dealer dito sa Kuwait and shocked ako sa price difference.
https://www.xcite.com/audio-mp3/home-theatre-systems/av-receivers.html
Current currency conversion is 1 KD(Kuwaiti Dinar) = P 156.33
Kayo na lang po mag compute pati sa ibang model aside from 809 to check price difference. Sa freight charges naman, roughly aroundP3,500 (air cargo) max 7 days, so malaking price difference pa rin. Just wondering bakit ganun kalaki price difference. Im just sharing lang.

HI guys, I need your help.
I'm new here and I just got an Onkyo 609 a few days back...
After setting the Audyssey auto-calibration (My present set-up by the way is just 3.1 for now), I noticed the level was -7 on the left, -6 on the right and -3 on the center channel...
I tried playing some movies but the volume level is a bit low that I have to crank it up to about 60 to even get a good level.
So I tried to adjust my speaker levels: presently +2 on left and right and +5 on the center channel and the main volume level now at 48
Am I doing it right?
By the way, listening mode set to DTS, Audyssey on, dynamic EQ on and dynamic volume off
Hope you guys can help me...

You didn't post your Subwoofer level but I'm assuming that it's also with a negative value. Lower your subwoofer volume to less than 9 o'clock and re-run Audyssey. See if the front levels now have a better value (closer to zero or zero). Set Dynamic Volume to Light. Now see if this improves things.
-
Sir Conan thank you very much. I did set the sub volume to 25% and ran audyssey again
I got -6dB on all three with sub but I ran GI Joe and the volume level improved considerably.
I adjusted it to -3 left and right and +1 on the center and -6dB on the sub. I am now running it at 47. I suppose the Onkyos normally deliver at this level for a 3.5 x 5.5 meter room.
Thank you so much sir.
BTW, I also set my dynamic volume to light

Dynamic Volume is used when watching sources that may have unpredictable and changing volume level usually TV programs. It can also be beneficial if watching movies at night and you don't want the LFE to be that pronounced. Activating Dynamic Volume eliminates the the impact of LFE especially in heavy explosions and gun fights but still provide pronounced center channel volume level
Activating the Dynamic Volume during normal listening makes you lose the details of the explosions and other scenes heavy with LFE.
Setting your subwoofer gain at 9 o clock before calibration is a very good starting point. Desired result of the sub level calibration is between -3 db and +3db. If you get anywhere near this, then that should be good enough, however, if you really want to have it within parameters, yoo can make adjustments, if the sub level calibration is too low say -6 tp -12db, decrease the gain setting and recalibrate, if its too high say +6 to +12db, increase the gain of the sub then recalibrate. Please take note that the resulting levels is reckoned at Reference Level, meaning listening at 0db or in your case at 82 db. If your not happy with the results, it becomes PREFERENCE thus defeat the purpose of the cailbration.
What Audyssey recommends after calibration is to set all cross over setting for the speakers to 80 hz while the LPF of the LFE to 120 hz speaker distance must be kept as is though as this is not a measure of the physical distance but a measure of the time delay or how the sound should arrive at your ears at your listening position. Changing this may result to inaccurate sound levels or a particular channel overpowering the other.
If the resulting level calibration is way too low, you may adjust each channel by 3db, my listening voulme is normally around 66db and my speaker calibration levels are set to around -3db for the fronts, -4.5db for the center and -5db for the srurround
for a better LFE, i set my sub level calibration 6db higher than the result i get after calibration meaning if i get -6db after calibration, I manually set it to 0db.

I just did a demo of two movies with nice opening action scenes to determine whether they sound better with Dynamic Volume on or off.
Gladiator - sounds better with Dynamic Volume on (Light), clashing of swords, arrows, horses and carriage sounds were better (more crisp and loud).
Transformers Dark of the Moon - sounded better with Dynamic Volume off. Explosions were more powerful and had more weight.
I guess movies with heavy LFE effects are better with Dynamic Volume off while dialogue and non-subsonic action scenes are better with it on.

guess this is more on preference considering even the manual would say what the purpsoe of Dynamic Volume is.

If it weren't for dynamic volume, I would still be stuck with headphones when watching movies after midnight. I absolutely love it. Almost 80% of what I've watched were viewed with dyn vol on (evening setting).

Audyssey Dynamic Volume can compress the dynamic range significantly, especially when the dial is well below reference levels. This could have a big impact to the listening experience, and it could be positive or negative depending on the situation and the listener.

this is what im trying to say sir ivan, it can either be something to like for or not depending on the listeners preference but during night time, using the dynamic volume is something that i really like, i can afford to watch at relatively higher volume so i can still understand the dialouges well without dealing with much of the sound that can already disturb my neighbors

Most 220V out AVRs are current-limited, and thus can only safely deliver half their rated VA capacity sa 110V tap. Pero malamang kaya pa niyan since continuous naman ang rating ng mga yan, while the AV Receiver will only pull a lot of current during transients.

But you'll be using your 5 channel power amp right? No need for a receiver then, dapat surround processor pre-amp like this: ;D

Pang 3 channel lang yung amp ko sir Conan.
Kaya AVR pa din kailangan ko to drive the surrounds... :)
Maganda nga din ang NAD AVR. Ang mahal lang kasi ng receiver locally. Nakakahinayang yung 25K+ difference sa US :(

Yun na nga ang the best option sir Conan.
Draw back is matagal kay pasasabikin ;D

Ngayon pa lang Orderin mo na ang 3009 este 1009 para dumating agad.. ;D
-
Hehehe...
Mahal brader eh ;D
Kaya kung halos pareho pareho sila in terms of processing capabilitites baka sa 809 or 1009 na ko :)
between 809 and 1009, not much except that the 1009 is 500 USD more expensive
but if it its 3009, ibang iba, MultEQ XT versus MultEQ XT32 kaya lang 2.5K USD and 3009

Is there a big difference between the 709 and 1009?

Some certification like ISF, better video processing (HQV vida), bigger & heavier power supply (1009 is 5olbs.vs. 30lbs.), different faceplate.
I recommend 3008 instead of 1009 halos magkapresyo lang sila ngayon.sabi nga ni onkyo606 ibang iba ang xt32. Ramdam mo difference sa subwoofer equalization kahit naka dual subs ka pa. ;D

Bro Louie_18,
Makisingit lang ako!
Hehehe.. Andito na 809..
Uhmmm.. It's HUGE!!! Haha.. I thought it was big, but not this big. (",)
Was a little nervous hooking it up and powering it on.. Kasi if mali ako.. Sabog ako! Hehehe..
So far so good.. Will do Audyssey MultEQ tonight. Pero so far so good.

Is there a big difference between the 709 and 1009?
nothing much that matters to basic requirements, if your particular with aesthetics like me,1009 is way better apart from the ones cited by sir nogie
for some unknown reasons though, the 809 went on sale around 700 USD, while the 1009 remains to be around 1.5K USD, the almost 50% price difference is not worth it in my opinion, the 3009 is around 2.5K USD
sir nogie was saying you can get the 3008 now for around 1.4K USD.

@Louie_18, Courage:
Still out with the family.. So malamang tomorrow Ko na to makalikot.. Hehehe..
@Sir Onkyo606:
Eto na Po Yung napag-usapan natin back then! Hehehe.. Yehey!
Will post pics and review tomorrow. (",)
Good night everyone! Drive home safely! (",)

upgrade na kayo ung mga naka onkyo HTIB dyan hehehe..

Hi sir.. San meron 3008 na 1.4k lang? ;D ;D

Hi sir.. San meron 3008 na 1.4k lang? ;D ;D
Sa amazon sir, i bought mine for $1.3k++ early this year when the 2011 models were introduced in the market. Abangan mo lang sir paglabas ng 2012 models babagsak ang presyo ng 3009 as low as $900 usually lumalabas yon sa lightning deals. Inaabangan ko din yon. ;D
Pero kung hindi issue ang open box meron 5008 (1.5kusd) sa amazon warehouse deals.

pobox.ph, manila forwarders, alas cargo usually 24-30 days ang waiting time. Pinakamura ang alas cargo, jumbo box nila nasa $60 lang at pick-up na sila sa US address mo. ;)

mga sir tanong ko lang po.. kasi kapag naglalaro ako sa xbox.. hindi agad nadedetect yung Dolby Digital.. Usually PCM po yung lumalabas sa avr ko.. ano po kaya yung problem nun?

Check the settings of your PS3, you might want to do manual Sound configuration. Pag naka auto isasama nya lahat nang PCM settings.. Pag manual just check what you need.. DTS, DD, DTS MA, DD True HD and some PCM settings that you might need like 2 channels...

Hey guys!
Sorry, been busy for the past few days with family and holiday celebrations.
I'm setting myself up naman this week for our weekend camp in Clark..
Update:
With the Current setup:
1500Watt Samwon AVR -> Onkyo 809 -> Cal's "Magic" Cables for LR, *Rega Quattro's for C, SnS free cables for Surrounds, connected to RTi A3's for LR, A6 for C and OWM3's for Surrounds, with Egreat S100 NMT as source and LG LED as Display.
Initial impressions:
A. Setup
- Takes a bit longer since I opted to do the 8 point Mult EQ Calibration. Even if my space isn't that big, I still did it hoping to help my AVR understand my living area.
- Was able to rename my Sources with the "edit Name" feature.
- I noticed the rear of the AVR is also more organized and not as cramped together as the 509, so it's easier to re-locate the banana plugs when I need to remove and connect to audio setup.
- I initially used Bi-Amp setting, but since it took time to remove and put back the jumper plates when I wanted to listen to music, I went back to normal setup using Cal's speaker wires. Looking forward to the Center speaker wire and jumpers from him.
- I was able to program the remote to control the TV as well. This AVR has online database query for remotes and devices, unfortunately, my DSL is still down, so I had to input the codes manually. Was able to find the right codes eventually, however, I miss having the "Home" Button working on the TV as well. now whenever I press Home button, it switches back to "Receiver" instead of "TV" and accesses the Receiver's Home menu.
B. PQ
- I've set the video to "Through" and so far, I'm getting 24bit RGB color, 1080p 60Hz.
- Color is superb, however, I also upgraded my HDMI cables to Audioquest Pearl's. Black's are deeper and I love watching movies on Cinema mode now because "theatrical" na yung skin tone. Hindi na ganun ka-pale. I couldn't compare it with my 509 kasi it didn't have a Video "Info" option.
C. SQ Movies
- If I were to describe my current movie-watching experience, I would call it "Enveloping".
- My surrounds seem to have come alive and it has more impact compared to just hearing sound coming out from it before.
- New features on this AVR is THX mode and Dolby Volume. I still prefer using the original audio format with Audyssey EQ on and Dynamic Volume off. Dolby Volume lowers the volume of "explosive" scenes and tames it. What's the power for if I have that on.. Hehehe..
D. SQ Audio
- Definitely more power compared to my 509. However, I feel that the sound is still sharp and bright if I play music via HDMI.
- I'll try out the analog input with a tube buffer and DAC and see if it smooths out. But still, I realized I'd rather use my "Low-Power" T-Amp setup. Way more electricity savings, lalo na since I love to leave the music on for a long time.
E. Overall
- I am pleased with this 809 as an upgrade and glad that I was able to get it on sale. I believe, I still haven't maximized it's full potential considering I'm still based in a condo. Maybe when I move over to a house na a few years later. Maybe even add a pair of A9's to go with it. Hehehe..
- Should you upgrade to 809? Well, considering my total cost is way below local market value, shipping was free, plus low exchange rate, it was a good upgrade for me. However, if you're condo based and you'll buy it at local retail price, it may be over-kill and not worth the double price difference comparing the price of 509 and 609. But that's just my 2 centavos. Hehehe.. If you can afford it, then GO! Hehehe.. Work hard and play hard lang naman e..
F. What to try next..
- Center Speaker wires from Cal
- Jumpers from Cal
- Audio setup via Tube buffer and DAC with Laptop as source going to analog input.
- Pictures.. (hehehe..) sorry, madilim na ngayon e..
Pasensya na sa mahabang post... Hehehe.. Thanks for reading up to this point!
Have a great week ahead! God bless and happy new year!
*Rega Quattro's anyone? PM lang.. ehehehe..

Just tried your suggestion bro!
Busog yung sound. I'm -12.0dB below Reference level, and it's loud already. I'm using Pure Audio mode. Malayo yung sound sa 509 ko. As in MALAYO! Hehehe.. Thanks for suggesting that bro.
Hehehe.. Pero takot ako to leave this on ng matagal. Baka mag-spin electricity meter ko..
But the SQ is awesome! I'm playing via USB some flac files. Parang naka-on yung subwoofer ko pero hindi. RTi A3's lang.
UPDATE:
I still prefer the T-Amp with tube buffer though. Mas malambing. I feel the Pure Audio is a little boomy. Mas gusto ko sound stage nito.. hehehe.. For now..

Well kung gusto mong makatipid kahit konti sa kuryente di ba? no other equipment running kundi receiver kasi kahit sya na mag play nang mga flac instead of NMT or other amps he he he...
So far i play my music just using the receiver and no other player.. mas maganda kasi tunog eh he he he

the onkyo tx nr809 is currently being sold here in singapore for around 45k pesos, the 709 for roughly 35k. will these be good buys considering the local price in manila? will there be any problem bringing the unit in through our airport (tax issues etc)? please help.

Bro may internal flac player and 809?
Saka hanggang ilang gig ng usb device ang pwede nya maread? FAT32 or NTFS disk format?
Thanks :)

Bro Louie_18!
I think so. It reads my Fat32 formatted USB drive.
I've read in some fora that they have their HDD's formatted to Fat32 and they load their uncompressed files there to play music.
You can access the flac files using the "USB" mode. It sounds really good. Almost close to my tube + T-Amp setup. You can also connect an iPod directly to the USB port. No need for a dock. However, for "energy-saving" purposes, I leave the music playing to my audio setup. less than 50W total consumption, compared to 700+ sa 809.

Brader i dont think it will consume 700 watts on mild listening... The higher the volume the higher the wattage consumption.. Unless todo ka lagi mag patugtog he he he

So hanggang FAT32 lang cya or 4gb max...
Hmmm... I'm contemplating kasi in getting a local Onkyo 3009 :)

Sir Louie my 3008 can read flacs thru ntfs or fat32. I'm currently using a western digital 1.5tb elements for music playing thru usb. You can also use your ipod to act as your browser for the hdd contents so there's no need to open your tv or pj.
-
sir Jc ang consumption ng 3008 ko is around 85 to 100 watts based sa watt meter so most likely lower yung consumption ng 809

Sa akin din although medyo matagal-tagal yong initialization kasi hindi ako nag-update ng firmware. Nacorrect na yata yong issue sa 3009.
Go for 3009 sir Louie! Ipadaan mo na lang sa mga trusted seller yong purchase mo sa amazon para protected ka sa DOA. ;D

Masarap yung feeling na you have the highest model he he he...
Nakangiti ka pag tulog mo sa gabi..
Nakangiti ka pag gising mo sa umaga..
Di papasok sa isip mo na ano kaya kung 5009 na lang nakuha ko kesa 3009..
Mas mabigat ang 5009 kesa sa 3009 he he he.. mas mahirap buhatin..
Ubos ang pera mo sa 5009 sa 3009 may pang painom ka pa sa amin pag nag invite ka sa bahay mo ha ha ha
Mas bagay ang 5009 sa future 70" na tv mo..
Sorry cant help it.. nangungulit lang ako.. he he he

AFAIK crossover settings are active in all modes even pure audio. It would be easy to test this, set your front speaker crossover to 100 or 120 Hz cutoff. This will remove a lot of the bass coming from your speakers. Now set it to Pure Audio and see if the lack of bass is still present. If it is then the crossover settings are still active.

Question po sa mga 609/709 (or higher models with HDMI passthrough) owners. Almost decided na ako to get a 709 due to MultEQ XT and dual HDMI out. But I came across this blog
http://blog.hekkers.net/2011/06/15/keeping-av-power-consumption-acceptable/#respond
Very important sa akin yung HDMI passthrough feature as I dont use the receiver all the time especially kung downloaded TV series lang ang pinapanood ko. 38W consumption on standby pass through is unacceptable for me. I might as well turn on the receiver. Can anyone with a power meter confirm if this is true.

Bro ilang hours mo ba gagamitin yung AVR in HDMI passthrough mode?
Kasi base sa aking computation ;D using the AVR for 10 hours a day at HDMI passthrough will just cost you around 4 pesos (kung 38 watts nga cya) ;)

True. But it pays to be eco-friendly. Denon as well as my previous Yamaha only consumes 1W on Standby passthrough mode. I posted this hoping na mali lang yung measurement nung blogger. I hope someone can confirm.

Try ko mamayang gabi sir pag-uwi ko kung wala pang magrereply regarding this.

Sir I was able to use a Yamaha AVR (RX-V3900) and tried HDMi passthrough when playing PS3. If I remember it correctly nasa around 20-25 watts cya. Saka it generates significant heat kahit passthrough lang.

3900 heats up during standby passthrough? wow.. aventage doesnt heat up during standbypass through and also Lan On standby enabled. Both are on..Sorry OT

Baka certain models lang ang eco-friendly. My previous yamaha was RX-V571. Nasa 1-2W lang siya measured by my omni watt meter. Yours is high end model na so baka talagang power-hog siya.

I would really appreciate it Comet. Thanks.

Sir R1DVD I got a reading of 17.2 watts with HDMI passthrough on standby. Sir Courage yung 3008 also generates heat on standby kaya sinasabay ko mag-on yung Jojodfan sa pagpower on ng 3008.
-
i believe yung heat issues and malaking bagay sa 09 series, the 809 does not heat up and may dalawang fan sa loob the blows hot air out of the top vent

Thanks Comet. Is that with HDMI passthrough only (network control mode is off)? I'm not familiar with onkyo settings but the blogger from the link I posted mentioned something about Network Control Mode. He mentioned that turning it off brought down the power consumption to zero. I was hoping the when HDMI passthrough mode is ON and Network Control Mode is off, the standby consumption would more or less approximate the figures from Denon and Yamaha. By the way, what onkyo are you using?
-
I'll try to check on the network control mode kung meron ang receiver ko, I'm using the 3008 sir.

nag basa basa lang ako louie hehehehe
some interesting things about the 809
1. When doing calibration, Audyssey Mult EQ XT will prompt you to set your subwoofer gain so that it will
read 75db only, problem is that to achieve 75db(actually around 76db sya), the gain of the Ultra is set to
only around 830 o clock halos zero na yung gain.
2. Calibration is a breeze. It becomes faster by 50% and it uses 8 mic positions.
3. After completing the calibration, two options can be chosen for the Audyssey EQ activation, one for Music
and one for Movie.
4. When the gain is set to produce 75db, resulting level calibration for the sub is exactly at zero(not sure if
the same for all situations though). Distances measured for left and right front are the same and so are for
the surrounds. The same is true for the level calibrations.
5. Apart from the THX Loudness Plus, it has an option to use Dolby Volume(these acts just like Audyssey Eq)
so you have more flexibility on chosing your SQ preference.
6. The 809 greatly improved the HF part, the center channel and the surround.Panning has become more
pronounced. SQ became richer and the details improved a lot
7. It does not heat up unlike the 807 or 808 perhaps. While this is so, it comes with two built in fans inside
that pushes hot air out of the top vents.
8. It has a couple of HDMI outs that allows you to choose either Main, Sub or both and has tons of HDMI Ins
8 if im not mistaken.
9. It has a couple USB slots(1 in front and 1 at the back) that allows you to play even FLAC files directly.
Whats nice, when playing via USB, the display panels would display the title of the song and the artist and
sounds better compared to playing music via the NMT.
10. It has a very nice looking front fascia, very elegant and minimalistic, only downside but depending on
preference, the volume knob is now lighted white instead of blue.
11. For video, there are several options to choose, it has ISF day, ISF night, Direct and Custom among
others, it comes with 4K upscaling thought this may not matter yet considering panels should be 4K too
Overall, the 809 is a huge leap compared to its predecessors and is fully packed with features that can only be present in more expensive models of other brands.Only downside is that it is only MultEQ XT and not XT32. If you are willing to shell out an extra 1K to 1.5K USD, then you may want to go the 3009 route, apart from the XT32, i think all the rest are basically the same in the aspect of things that matters to your basic needs-5.2 channels, HQV upscaler among others.

^^sir Onkyo606:
Very enlightening post. Learned new things about my Receiver.
Hehe..
Salamat!
Re: Sub, I'm using a Polk Audio PSW 112 and I also calibrated to 75db at around 8 oclock where I used to have it at 9 o'clock.
Re: Volume Light, actually I was expecting it to be blue as well. Hehehe.. But I got white! (",)
Thanks for sharing! Looking forward to learn more.

setting at 75 db, then running 3db hot will give a very good listening experience at 75db sa volume though im not comfortable with the setting so i went manual with the sub and crank up the gain to 9 o clock with sub level calibration at -5db, im a very happy man.

The 12/20/2011 update addresses the following:
Improves noise during playback of DTS-HD Master Audio with particular Blu-ray disc;
Corrects operation of speaker distance calculation in Audyssey 2EQ;
QUESTION: Since the update says that it "corrects distance calculation", should I calibrate again after the FW update?

Hi Brader Francis :) imo, if you're already happy with the way your setup sounds, di mo na siguro kailangan I calibrate uli...TIP lang brader, be sure to use a UPS on your onkyo receiver before you update your unit's firmware, baka mabrick unit mo pag nagflactuate or nag-blackout, alam mo na, it happens the least you expected di ba?

Thanks! I already updated mine. I did notice that some of my DTSMA files had white noise when I played them before doing the update. My workaround before was to turn the AVR on and off. After updating, I haven't encountered this anymore.
I didn't know about the speaker distance calculation. Will probably re-do my Auddyssey.. Oh wait, 2EQ, Does this apply to my Audyssey MultEQ?

^^I noticed when I played my Avatar BluRay via PS3 and the soundtrack was weak and there was a hissing sound (white noise BA tawag don?)
I noticed it also with a few DTSMA rips I have on my HDD backups.
But now that I updated to Dec 20 FW, i haven't encountered it anymore.

To Onkyo 809 users, pwede po paki-check yung depth nung unit. It says sa website 435 mm. Is it yung housing lang or including the terminals na (eg. binding posts). Wanted this model sana but when I checked my rack, medyo alanganin yung depth ng rack ko. I noticed that this model is significantly bigger (especially the depth) than the 709

Dont forget that if you plan to use banana plugs.. madadagdagan pa ang depth nyan..

Hello mga bro in PDVD,
Just want to share my little concern on my Onkyo AVR. Just hoping maybe someone have the same experience and might be able to help me.
I have bought a 2nd hand Onkyo TX-DS656 Onkyo AVR. Medyo old model na sya but its good enough for me coz Im more into music rather movies. The item is in good condition and all features are working as mentioned in the manual. My concern is just that there are times that the AVR would sound not as good as it was when I bought it ( Parang may kunting sabit na audible sya during soft passages ng music). Since I am still using 3 channels (L,C,R) lang, mas audible and problem sa center channel during 3 channel stereo mode. But in some time OK naman sya. I tried to single-out, and observed that during night time, the problem occurs. Right now, I am not using an automatic voltage regulator, so I tried to measure the supply voltage during night time and daytime. My multimeter is not calibrated though but it shows about 10 ~ 15 volts difference. The meter actually reads 225v during daytime and 240~245volts during nightime. But as I've said, my meter is not calibrated so I couldn't conclude that it is really reaching as high as 245 volts. But one thing sure, it does have a supply voltage difference.
My concern now, have you experienced almost same problem like mine with your AVR's ?
Thanks in advance ...any inputs would be of great help...

@jason, I never had that same experience with my Onkyo during the short time that I've owned it. To be safe, invest on a good servo-motor controlled AVR lalo na't ikaw na rin maysabi na may voltage fluctuation sa inyo.
To Onkyo X09 users , may tanong lang po ako about the so-called overlaid GUI. According sa reviews (and I think I also read about it sa manual), meron daw overlaid GUI yung 809 so dapat when accessing the setup menu nakapatong siya dun sa video that is playing...right? And sabi din, this overlaid GUI is only seen if your TV is connected sa HDMI out (main). Ganun naman ang connection ko. Meron pa bang ibang setting na dapat kalikutin para ma-enable itong overlaid GUI? Yung akin kasi when I'm playing a movie then press the SETUP button, the picture blacks out then saka lumalabas ang setup menu (black background lang at walang video na nakikita). The overlaid GUI only appears when I press the HOME button and make adjustments sa settings dun. Ganun ba talaga yun or dapat sa SETUP and HOME menu eh meron overlaid GUI?

I have a 608 but what you described is exactly how my receiver also behaves. Pressing Set-up will black out the movie.

809 and above models apparently should have this overlaid GUI, which allows you to navigate on the features of the receivers while still seeing the movie you are watching but this is not the case for the 809, when you navigate through the set up menu, the screen displays the GUI but not the video but you can still hear the audio part though this is already a jump from previous model that does not show video and does not have audio as well.
RIDVD and I were hoping we have just missed on the right setting

@R1DVD:
Same scenario here as well on my 809. Overlaid for home button, Setup button replaces video screen with setup menu.

Onkyo 609 Owner. Overlaid gui when home button is pressed. setup button is not overlaid.
-
Probably the reviewers were referring only to overlaid GUI when HOME button is pressed and not the SETUP button. At least now I know my unit is not defective :D

we should have gotten a 3009 atleast, or its only 5009 that has it?

Hi All,
Just got my onkyo 360 last night. initial set-up was a breeze but so far I already encountered one problem:
whenever I turn on my xbox 360 (connected via hdmi), the receiver would show "Check SP wire" and would then shut down in about 10-20secs. I've tried connecting it to other hdmi ports and same thing happens. This doesn't happen with my pch-a210 and ps3 though and they work flawlessly with the receiver. I've yet to check if it's the hdmi cable of the xbox that's causing this since I've only spent a small amount of time last night on it.
any advice on the problem?
TIA!
-
Try checking your speaker wire connections sir. When an error like that appears and your avr shuts down, it may mean that your speaker connections are loose or the black and red connectors are in contact with each other.

Sorry for the super delayed response. Been very busy the past few weeks.
I measured 17.5" from the front of the avr to the rear with the banana plugs (add about a quarter of an inch on the right side for the volume knob). and then 17" from side to side and almost 8" from top to bottom.
That's right, kaya gusto ko malaman yung exact dimension. Grabe pala ang laki nito....beast talaga!

speaker wires are fine. again, the weird thing about problem is that the shut down only happens when using the xbox. the receiver is working flawlessly with the ps3 and the pch. i also tried connecting the xbox via optical cable while the hdmi of the xbox is directly connected to the tv and problem is still the same.
-
mainit ba talaga onkyo avr lalo na kung passive sub?

Try using a known good HDMI with the XBOX.
Use the one from the PCH or the PS3 and see what happens next.

ive got the same problem
my onkyo avr shuts down hehehe
un nga lang ung aken after 2-4hours of usage
it happenened yesterday after 3-4hours or watching using measy x6
then a while ago nung matatpos na ung saving private ryan using ps3 slim
i assume it would be on my ventilation kasi asa cabinet sya ng tv rack tapos wala pa kami aircon
will monitor this over the week
nung namatay ung aken kanina hindi ko napansin kung nagblink ung standy indicator lights but after pressing the on buttongit works perfectly again...
i watch limitless nung tanghali hindi naman namatay nung hapon lang sa saving private ryan
hmmmm......
i just change setting lik center 10DB+ and sub 2db+
maiinit din ata kasi passive sub ko please enlighten thanks

220volts kasi kaya di ko na ginamitan ng avr
what avr can you suggest?
napansin ko sa gabi lang sya namatay ng twice
baka naisip ko nagooverload din dami kasi namin gumagamit sa isang metro ng kuryente
ayusin ko muna ung rack kasi asa secong row sya hindi kasi pwede sa itaas hindi kasya need ko ipa wall mount ung tv...

have already did this and it's still the same. avr shuts down after about 1-2mins. the receiver also shuts down even while the xbox is just turned on and not selected on the receiver! tested this while using the PCH and it was playing a movie, i turned on the xbox, and again about 1-2 mins, the receiver shuts down.
I now have nagging feeling that this might be caused by the 3rd party autovolt powerbrick that i'm using on the xbox for whatever reason that i don't know how to explain why its causing this problem. I'll try to use the original 110v powerbrick of the xbox and see if this problem occurs. My only concern is that I only have one 750w transformer that I'll use for the receiver and the xbox. Kaya naman dapat nung transformer na pareho naka on tapos wala naman ginagawa.

Try using an Auto Volt regulator, my Receiver before also shutdown when not connected sa AVR, akala ko Receiver may problema kasi minsan iwanan ko lang naka on pag balik ko patay na.. Then i noticed na nangyayari yun kapag may fluctuation.. Nung nilagyan ko na nang AVR di na nangyari ulit..
Mas malakas ang load nang kuryente sa gabi..

Kaya naman Yung requirements mo with the 1kva.
Pero, I'm not a Fan of CDRKing stuff and considering how costly our setup is with the Onky's, I'd rather stay away from their AVR's.

No need na with the 809 IMHO. If you backread a bit, it was mentioned that it has fans built in, unlike my previous 509 which tends to get hot after a while of use.

ei mga sirs, small questions... any info for the srp of 3008 and 1008? between the units, which would you prefer to use for HT? thanks.

1008 around 70 plus K 3008 baka mga 100 plus k kung local unit at kung may makukuha pa
3008 hands down, the 1008 and 808 are relatively the same, the 3008 has XT 32 audyssey multeq and is very good in calibrating the subwoofer

Ako, I just use a damp cloth if I notice that it's a little dusty. Make sure that it's not too wet para walang pumatak sa loob.
I also put a cloth on it so that it's covered when not in use.

i strongly suggest not to use any chemicals as it might damage the finish in the long run.
best to use a dry "pranela" and thats it.
My only concern is that I only have one 750w transformer that I'll use for the receiver and the xbox. Kaya naman dapat nung transformer na pareho naka on tapos wala naman ginagawa.
You can try and use an extension cord with individual switches:

Works for me! Connect this to the AVR and turn on only the devices that you need to use.

solved my xbox-onkyo dilemma: i just repositioned the power brick of the xbox away from the speaker wires and it's now working properly. i'm not an electrical expert but my theory is that maybe some of my speaker wires may not be properly shielded or maybe a part of the shielding got stripped off somewhere and the current coming from the xbox power brick is interfering with it.
next concern:
i'm using a mac and my music collection is in it. is there a way to stream music from a mac to the onkyo receiver without resorting to using windows either via bootcamp or parallels?
-
^Congrats on solving your xbox-onkyo dilemma.
For the Mac-based Audio setup, I use a DAC. Connect it via USB of MAC and then via Aux Front Panel.
If what you meant was via Network, I haven't quite figured it out yet, I have a NAS so that's where I have some of my music.
But for chill-time, audio via DAC works well. Simple to setup and I can use my iPhone to control audio remotely using the "Remote" App.
If you do get to setup DLNA via your MAC, you can control also audio playback via iOS using the OnkyoRemote2 App.

Worth waiting for 2012 onkyos esp the 516s or 616s
From whathifi

Onkyo launches first four 2012 AV home cinema receivers, plus three AV packages
13 Feb 2012
Onkyo's £600 TX-NR616 hits the shops in April
Onkyo has unveiled its first 'hit' of home cinema products for 2012, with four new AV receivers starting from £300 and networked models from £400 upwards. And the company also has three complete receiver/speakers packages, again at price starting from £300.
The receiver range kicks off with the £300 TX-SR313 (above), offering five channels of amplification each with a claimed output of 100W, five HDMI inputs – like all the new receivers, the '313 is 3D-ready – , ARC audio input and a USB input for memory devices or iPod/iPhone.
It has an interactive on-screen display for set-up and adjustment, and in common with all the new Onkyo models uses the company's Wide Range Amplifier Technology and discrete components in the output stage rather than amp-on-a-chip technology.
Move up a step and you're into network receiver territory with the TX-NR414, selling for £400 and claiming 5x130W.
Via its network connection it can access content stored on a local network, internet radio, subscription streaming services such as Spotify and Last.fm and 'cloud locker' service like MP3tunes.
It can be controlled using a free iOS or Android Onkyo Remote App, and can also stream music from Android handsets, and has six HDMI inputs, an HDMI output with ARC, and a front-panel USB input.
Also new for this model is InstaPrevue technology allowing live on-screen 'picture in picture' thumbnails of the content being received by all the HDMI ports, and a Q button on the remote to overlay a 'Quick Set-Up' menu over the picture being viewed.
Hybrid Standby is also provided, allowing pass-through of HDMI-connected sources to the TV even when the receiver is off, and remote switch-on from the Onkyo Remote App – handy when making use of the receiver's Zone 2 capability.
Sitting above the '414 are the £500 TX-NR515 and £600 TX-NR616 (pictured), both of which are 7.2-channel models, with video upscaling all the way to 4K2K (4096x2160 pixels) using Marvell's Qdeo processing. In addition, a front-panel MHL/HDMI input allowing the playback of 1080p video with 7.1-channel sound from smartphones and similar portable devices.
Both models also have Audyssey 2EQ room correction, eight HDMI inputs and two outputs, and as well as a front-panel USB input have a rear USB able to accept an optional USB Wi-Fi adapter.
And while the '515 has Dolby Pro-Logic IIz, the '616 also offers Audyssey DSX expansion for additional Front Wide channels. Twin subwoofer outputs are available on both, and the TX-NR515 claims 7x130W, with the THX Select2 Plus certified TX-NR616 upping the power to 7x165W.
The TX-NR515 also offers powered Zone 2 output, while the TX-NR616 has both powered Zone 2 and line-out Zone 3.

Mga Master any idea kung paano maaayos 'to? I am using an Onkyo tx sr502 avr. I have tried test tone, all speakers (5.1) are working except the left rear. I also tried playing a 5.1 movie, again everything is working but the left rear. May mahina lang syang sort of a humming sound. Patulong naman mga masters. Thanks

na-isolate mo na ba? like interchanging left and right rear speaker?
baka kasi wire lang or speaker itself.

As what Ninjababes said, try to isolate the problem.
1. Try using a known good speakers for the rear left
2. Try using a known good speaker cable for the rear left
3. If problem still occurs while doing steps 1 and 2, it could be your Receiver.

mga ser,
need your advise lang sana.. its my first time to update the firmware of my onkyo. latest firmware for the 509 is dated dec.15, but noticed previous updates. do i need to install previous firmware updates, or the latest firmware na agad? im assuming the lastest also carries the previous firmware fixes? thank you!

Got a question guys, hope someone can help. I have an Egreat NMT and a Samsung BD5500 bluray player hooked up to a 876 AVR thru HDMI then to a Samsung 3D TV. My Egreat can play 3D movies while the the BD5500 cant. I have tried to set the BD5500 to 3D->3D, all I got is a black screen and reverts back to auto after a few seconds. Also have tried to set "through" on the AVR but no effect.

Does the 876 have 3D passthrough capability? The Egreat NMT can simulate 3D via 2D signal, unlike the Samsung BD5500's true 3D signal.
Tama ba guru's?

kakatuwa pala ung onkyo receiver kahit entry level lang ung onkyo htib ko
may hdmi passthrough kahit nakastandby ilalabas nya ung video sa tv coming from bd/ps3/bluray
hihihi
kagabi ko lang nakita and natry ung feature
really helpful lalo na apgnagps3 ako sa gabi
-
@jcsantamarina.. Haha, thanks for the info :)
@raider125jeigh.. Sulit ang onkyo, my 509 packs alot of features for an entry level amp, to get those features in yamahas or harmans, ang laki ng price diff.. Even with their old models ;D

The TX-SR876 has a through signal but I guess not a 3D passthrough kasi it wont play 3D signals from my 3D player. I think this is more likely what happened. So what should I do to play 3D movies from my 3D player? Do I need a HDMI signal splitter to split the signals between the TV and the 876?

Guys, need your advise...
I have a Vivaus Mini (Videoke Machine) but I still haven't saved up for a dedicated sound system for it (Spent the money in buying an Xbox ;D). I am planning to use the 609 as an amp for the Videoke but would use Zone 2 and have a dedicated speaker for Videoke Purposes. Would zone2 be able to handle this?

tanong lang mga brader, my NR709 stated that it delivers 110W to each of its channels into 8 ohms, then 170W into 6 ohms. since my speakers are 6 ohms, ibig bang sabihin nito na 170W ang power na nag da-drive sa spkrs ko?

tama brader
ang sabi better na mas malakas ung power ng amp sa speaker to maximize the speaker
ampf 170w
speaker 6ohm 170 below wattage will be awesome
but for sure it can also drive 170w onwards speakers

Understanding Amplifier & Receiver Power Specifications
http://www.pinoydvd.com/index.php/topic,136871.0.html (http://www.pinoydvd.com/index.php/topic,136871.0.html)
do take note that as per Onkyo's spec sheet for the 709, it's "170 W at 6 ohms, 1 kHz, 1 ch driven
of 1 % (IEC)"
-

170w siya sir on 6 ohms but with 1% THD(distortion) using 1ch, so medyo inflated siya. just to compare an integrated amp:
nad 375bee
150w @ 6 ohms on .004% THD for each of it's 2-channels.
you can just imagine kung gaano kalayo ang specs ng avr vs an integrated amp. yung 170w na yun, madidivide pa into the number of channels working on your avr plus yung ganun kataas na distortion is unacceptable.
if you want to maximize your speakers, since your avr has preouts, you can add a power or integrated amp :)
-
Mga Onkyo Brads,
I also have Onkyo 609 at plano ko mag upgrade ng floorstander. Ano ba bagay sa kanya. I am more into movies, mga 80% at 20% music. I am looking at Polk Audio RTI or PSB. Based from your experience, ano mas bagay or any other brand na bagay sa Onkyo. Thanks

ok, thanks mga sir, madi-devide pa pala yung 170W. im more into movies than music sa receiver na ito. iba kasi gamit ko sa music.
i don't believe the statement that 170 watts divided into the no. of channels working is entirely accurate...
take Home Theater Magazine's bench test of the TX-NR609:
http://www.hometheater.com/content/onkyo-tx-nr609-av-receiver
HT Labs Measures
Five channels driven continuously into 8-ohm loads:
0.1% distortion at 81.0 watts
1% distortion at 95.1 watts
Seven channels driven continuously into 8-ohm loads:
0.1% distortion at 77.7 watts
1% distortion at 88.9 watts
(graph)
This graph shows that the TX-NR609’s left channel, from CD input to speaker output with two channels driving 8-ohm loads, reaches 0.1 percent distortion at 105.6 watts and 1 percent distortion at 124.3 watts. Into 4 ohms, the amplifier reaches 0.1 percent distortion at 146.8 watts and 1 percent distortion at 188.6 watts.
given these test results from the lower model, I would suspect that Onkyo 709's clean power would be more or less the same, about a bit higher by a couple of watts. I estimate that the 709 will produce about 100 watts per channel into 6 ohms, all channels driven simultaneously, .1% distortion
but of course, these are just numbers. what's more important is whether or not you find your current setup lacking...
-
Based from experience (Onkyo 805 and RTi A3) maganda Rti with Onkyo lalo na sa movies. Panalo yan bro ;)

i don't believe the statement that 170 watts divided into the no. of channels working is entirely accurate...
Yup I should have rephrased that better. The total power output should lower down proportionally based on the number of channels being driven.

(http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/images/stories/2009/march-2009/onkyo-tx-sr706-receiver-thd-n-vs-power-8-ohms-large.gif)
The TX-SR706's lab results were almost without exception excellent, with near-reference noise, linearity, response, and distortion. The sole exception was power output: While the unit cheerfully produced around 80 watts with five channels driven into 8 ohms, like some other mid-priced receivers it would only do so for short periods (a few hundred milliseconds) before current-limiting to approximately one-fourth power. But this situation is very unlikely ever to occur in actual use with real program material, which is far less demanding than sine tones and which virtually never peaks more than one or two channels simultaneously. My listening tests (performed as always before lab measurements) never elicited any shortage of power or dynamic freedom. Note that the above results all reflect the Onkyo's "6 ohms" software setup option. When set to the 4 ohms position, which presumably current-limits the power amps, results declined uniformly to about 35 watts maximum.
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 :)
-
Corret me if I am wrong but these are the conclusions that I came up with the wattage count (based on the assumption that a power amp would not be added to the setup):
- higher sensitivity speakers would help a lot so as not to strain the AVR
- stay with 5.1 set up as much as possible
-

Yup those would certainly help.

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.

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.

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

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 (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)
-
Sana yung higher Onkyo models (3XXX/5XXX) pag ni-release may audyssey calibration na better than MultieEQ XT32. Baka XT64? ;D
-
^ or maybe even Trinnov (http://www.trinnov.com) which has been said to be better (but prohibitively more expensive) than Audyssey 8)
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.
pagseserbisyuhan kita ng buong puso ko - katulad ng pagseserbisyo ng onkyo 809 hehehe
how was it compared to the yammy 757 brader?

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...
-
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?

as per user's manual, when Monitor Out is set to Both, output resolution would be fixed to the highest one supported by both devices, and Resolution setting would be fixed to Auto
if you want the receiver to prioritize the max resolution supported by either your tv or projector, set Monitor Out to either Both (Main) or Both (Sub)
do take note that while some some panels or projectors may only have 720p native pixel resolution, that doesn't mean they can't accept 1080p video signal.

I tied that too but unfortunately still not working. I'm pretty sure both hdmi connections are working fine also cos I tied switching the monitor out using my tv whether main or sub connection and it works fine but when I try that on my pj wala It just keep showing in my pj screen 'video processing. Pls wait' and in my onkyo screen it shows 'no signal' but when I disconnect the hdmi goin to the tv the pj works whether connected in the main or sub hdmi.

Have you tried running non-encrypted sources? Like those connected via analogue video inputs to the AVR?
Is there a message on the AVR's display?

Around 75wpc fairly clean with all channels driven (~60w would be a nice conservative rating).
It shouldn't have a problem with the B&W 600 series upto the 684. The 683 is quite a bit more demanding than the lower models (it would work, but I'd personally prefer something beefier for this model).
The Monitor Audio RX line is made up of speakers designed to be reasonably easy to power. The 809 would motivate them just fine. Just remember to demo this before buying, as I've encountered people not liking the combination.

Gurus,
Quick question and tips. I'm using 706 and the listening mode options I can have while watching bluray movies are Theater DImensional, Stereo, MultiChannel Stereo, Mono, Full mono only. Nothing about DTS, DD, THX, etc. I'm streaming downloaded Bluray movies from my laptop, then to my PS3 via PS3 Media Server and HDMI to the AVR.
My set up is 3.1
As per the manual, I can even listen to DD Pro Logic II / EX, DTS Neo 6, etc. even with just the 3.1 set up. Any ideas, suggestions?
TIA.

Hi sir. thanks for the reply. but my concern really, is other "listening options" are not available even if I'm watching bluray movies. I know some factors are: not all bluray format movies carry all types of listening modes (audio formats), 2nd, the speaker available in my set up (currently 3.1). but the thing is, as per the manual, http://filedepot.onkyousa.com/Files/own_manuals/SN_29344723_TX-SR706_En_web.pdf?CFID=1980314&CFTOKEN=36822334&jsessionid=f0305c03ea9a1c724f1833f7f70419105849 even if 3.1, I should at least, can use Dolby Prologic, or DTS Neo. but in my case, wala.

as per manual, Dolby ProLogic IIx/Dolby EX/DTS Neo:6 requires surround back/surround back L-R (6.1/7.1)
Not sure why Prologic II is unavailable, possible it requires surround L-R (5.1)
if you're not getting DTS or Dolby Digital listening modes [ala Straight Decode], possible na stereo or multichannel output yung nanggagaling from PS3.
AFAIK, when properly setup, PS3 only bitstreams DD/DTS lossy/lossless when playing BD and AVCHD. everything else (USB, streaming, in-game sounds) is in stereo/multichannel PCM

Also, check the file of the blu-ray movie you are playing. Audio encoded could just be AC3 or some other format and not DTS or Dolby. A good indicator usually (90%, i guess) is that the file size is beyond 4GB for a 2 hour film.

not really that relevant as ProLogic/Neo:6 listening modes are post-processing effects that can be applied to AC3, DTS, and PCM streams alike. you do raise a good point though as media files would either contain stereo or multichannel-surround streams

You can verify the audiostream using the freeware Mediainfo.
I suspect the streaming from the laptop to the PS3. (How is it exactly done BTW?)

it's either NEO:6 Cinema or NEO:6 Music and not just plain NEO:6, right?
at least on newer receivers, this is how it works...
Stereo source + Neo:6 Cinema / Neo:6 Music listening mode - possible with 3.1 / 5.1 / 6.1 / 7.1 SB speaker layout
Stereo source + Neo:6 listening mode - not possible with any speaker layout
5.1 source + Neo:6 Cinema / Neo:6 Music listening mode - not possible with any speaker layout
5.1 source + Neo:6 listening mode - only possible with 6.1 / 7.1 SB speaker layout
basically the available listening modes depend on the combination of source material (as transmitted to the reciever) and speaker layout...
-
it's either NEO:6 Cinema or NEO:6 Music and not just plain NEO:6, right?
exactly!
at least on newer receivers, this is how it works...
Stereo source + Neo:6 Cinema / Neo:6 Music listening mode - possible with 3.1 / 5.1 / 6.1 / 7.1 SB speaker layout
Stereo source + Neo:6 listening mode - not possible with any speaker layout
5.1 source + Neo:6 Cinema / Neo:6 Music listening mode - not possible with any speaker layout
5.1 source + Neo:6 listening mode - only possible with 6.1 / 7.1 SB speaker layout

thanks for the reply mate.
@Clondalkin - I'm using PS3 Media Server. Install it in your Laptop/PC then via Wifi or wired, you can connect your unit and stream/view pics/music to your PS3. You can also use Tversity. Same process, but for Tversity, some HD files are not supported.
-
guys,
I assumed it has something to do with the audio format/file from the HD/bluray movies I downloaded. I guess, it's better to check each files before downloading.
guys, what's your recommended level of Sub volume in the AVR. I've read a few threads in PDVD that it's advisable to set 120hz on the sub and just make adjustments in the AVR. I did that as well, but I just need inputs as to the db level of the sub in the AVR.
TIA
-
^ happy to help out a fellow onkyo user :)
with regards to streaming, i think stereo/multichannel PCM lang talaga from PS3 to A/V receiver, but you should be able to bitsteam DD/DTS/etc. when playing blu-ray (assuming slim yung PS3 mo)
add speakers na lang to "unlock" other listening modes ;)

I think it could be the settings on the PS3 media server or Tversity or other media server software. Check how the settings transmit the audio signal from PC -> Media Server -> PS3 - Receiver
Assuming if the video file from the laptop has DTS / Dolby encoded audio stream, the PS3 audio setting is set to bitstreamin. then i guess the only place to look at is the decoding of the media server software (ps3 media server).
Hope this helps.

this should be it!! ;) never thought of it, no until today. I just checked the PS3 Media Server. and Yes, you have the option to change audio setting. will check it later tonight and see if it does produces better audio to my rig.
Thanks.

i'm about have a custom built an audio rack and i was wondering how much head room should i provision for my onkyo 609?
the 609 is about 6.8 inches in height, would a 8 inch head room enough considering that the opening is very wide. length of the opening is about 30 inches and the 609 is only about 17 inches.
kaso lang i noticed that the vents are most on top of the unit and not on the side. So do you think OK lang 8 inches? para sana sakto yung look.
thanks!
-
if i remember it right, recommendation on the manual says 8" clearance from the top of the receiver, then 4" on the sides
EDIT:
Page 2 - No. 18 on the manual:
If you install the apparatus in a built-in installation,
such as a bookcase or rack, ensure that there is
adequate ventilation.
Leave 20 cm (8") of free space at the top and sides and
10 cm (4") at the rear. The rear edge of the shelf or
board above the apparatus shall be set 10 cm (4")
away from the rear panel or wall, creating a flue-like
gap for warm air to escape.
pwede rin naman yung sakto lang yung space, but you have to employ active cooling (i.e. exhaust fans) to prevent overheating...

hi guys,
Seems alot of us are using or eyeing the 809, iam torn between the aventage a2010 or the 809. Since i have good experiences with onkyo, iam leaning towards the 809.
Any issues that i should look out for? Iam getting the unit from the us. I used to have a 608, hehe upgrade na e.
Hope for some inputs
Thanks

Ganito din dati ako pinagpipilian ko ang Yamaha and Onkyo same model but i get the Yamaha since pag nag search ka sa net wala ka makikita na issue's and some of my frend have this with no issue's for 2 years na even si courage naka yamaha from US pa wala din issue alam ko 2 years+ na yung unit niya. Yung onkyo kasi dami pa din issue suwerte mo brader pag nakuha mo ung wala issue. Goodluck sa pag pili. ;D ;D
-
^ In fairness, you gotta consider the fact that more people use Onkyos these days, and hence more reports of issues compared to others.
Dito na lang sa PDVD, ilan ang naka 609/809 vs mga naka-equivalent yamaha or denon...
-
bro, hope this may be of help...
if you are after THX certified equipment, you may to consider the Onkyo 809 and usually sells landed in Manila around php 40k + (I thinks someone is selling one at php 42-43k in the marketplace).
If you are partial to the Yamaha's, RX-A2010 is a good one too. They usually sell landed around Php 60K+.
I had my fair success of getting my AVR's (started with an Onkyo, went for Yamaha and then back to using "both" Onkyo and Yamaha receivers) and large LED displays usually from the US too in the past few years. I'd say, as long as the shipper you use is careful with the goods, you have the odds in your favor.
I'd also say if you don't mind the php 60K+ landed price range for an RX-A2010, then add a little bit more and just go straight to the RX-A3010. ;D
If you can bring the item yourself from the US without having to depend on a freight forwarder, the better for you.
-
actually, the specs wise right comparison for the Yamaha RX-A2010, is the Onkyo TX-NR1009
http://www.us.onkyo.com/model.cfm?m=TX-NR1009&class=Receiver&p=i
but since you are comparing your decision point to the Onkyo TX-NR809, the specs are shown below:
http://www.us.onkyo.com/model.cfm?m=TX-NR809&class=Receiver&p=i
As for the Yamaha units on E-Bay, just make sure that if the price is too low they are the better "Class B" units. I think the ones sold on Amazon.com which is usually higher range are the "Class A" units.
Hope this helps.
Disclosure: I have an Onkyo TX-NR809 and a couple of older Yamaha receivers but was eyeing a Yamaha RX-A2010 / RX-A2000 too for my other place's set-up. I might just wait for prices to come down as newer models are about to be launched or go straight and leap-frog into the newer models. ;D
But quite happy and contented with the Onkyo TX-NR809 that I just installed to replace one of the Yamaha receivers very recently.
-
I would have stuck with Yamaha if they were priced at same levels as that of Onkyo - on equivalent grades of AVR.
Having said that, Im pretty satisfied with the 809 and 1008 kahit meron akong hinahanap na warmth ng Yamaha sound.
Kung import din lang, minimum grade should be 8xx. All the rest, jackryan has already wisely explained.

On the price but if you are patient enough to wait the landed price of the Yamaha RX-A2010 for sea freight i believe wala pa 50k class B units but as far as my seller advice on the unit it's a new one with one year warranty only. Kaya lang naman tumaas ng 60k+ yung landed price of the yamaha because AIR shipping siya so mas mahal talaga. ;D ;D
Sobra lang baba kasi ng onkyo compare sa ibang receiver like Yamaha, PIO and other known brand why sobrang baba yun din ang gumulo sa isip ko. Onkyo 809 price at $600+ sa amazon compare to $1,499.95. Di ko alam why sobra bilis bumaba ang price ng onkyo even new model pa siya like the 809 pero sa local market hindi naman mabilis bumaba sa US lang. Dahil kaya sa mga reported issue's kaya madami user ng onkyo kasi mababa ang price compare to other brand. ;D ;D
Retail of Onkyo 809 $1099 and retail price of Yamaha RX-A2010 $1600 if you will check mas mataas talaga ang SRP ng RX-A2010 kasi high end na ng Yamaha. Same lang naman ang nabawas sa SRP pricing sa mga online market like amazon and ebay nasa $400+ lang both brand. I believe yung model na puwede itapat sa onkyo 809 is the RX-871 i believe landed price will be less than 40k. ;D ;D

Thanks very much guys sa input
I bring items in myself since my sister always sends us packages from the us. Tama kayo na if i am looking for THX the onkyo is the way to go, concerned lang dun sa mga issues na biglang no sound, and handshake issues.
Yung plus naman sa onkyo, spec wise its fully loaded, hqv, neo x and lots more.
Tama yung isang kamember natin, did some searching, yamaha bihira issues, sabagay ilan palang din yung gumagamit satin ng yamaha. Dami 809 e haha.
one more thing iam considering the 809 dahil price drop haha. Yamahas are still on their reg. pricing, pero i could wait and check out new models na din.
One more questions guys, what major issue ang concern sa 809? does the unit still overheat?

Iba naman kasi level ng A2010 sa 809 brader. ;D ;D
Saka yung issue's na sinasabi ko di lang pdvd kung hindi international siguro naman madami na din user internationally ng yamaha pero wala pa din ganun lumalabas na issue's.
Good luck on your new receiver purchase like i said ganyan din dati ako ilang weeks din na pag iisip and comparison ginawa ko. ;D ;D

yap tama ka bro sa diff ng level ng yamaha and onkyo. Also checked feed back sa buyers for both units and brand. mas less nga sa yamaha ang problems.
Checking out also the new release ng mga rx-v nila, meron na e haha. pero would still be leaning towards aventage series kung sa hi end lang din.
tik tok, hirap pumili hahaha

I've been there brader and i also consider the THX pero sa tingin ko naman di ko na siya need kasi HD audio naman na ang kasama ng mga movies ko. Wag ka na mag dalawang isip get the brand that your pocket can max get wag mo na tipirin. ;D ;D

Hahaha, oo e mukang magmamax ako sa wallet haha. Sabagay tama ka bro, we dont need the thx much naman since movies come with hd audio formats na.
When kaya labas new series ng aventage? sa onkyo labas na din 818 this month it makes choosing even more harder hahaha

Di ko alam brader saka di na ako nag titingin kasi masaya na ako sa A2010 ko na dumating di ko pa nga lang nakukuha sa shipping company baka next week ko na makuha. Nakakuha kasi ako good deal sa ebay for A2010 kaya di muna ako titingin ng new model siguro pag malaki na yung significant na pag kakaiba sa features saka ako upgrade pero right now kasi parang nadagdag is the AIRPlay and 4K video support sa new model which hindi ko pa naman eed kasi 1080 pa lang naman ang gagamitin ko. ;D ;D
IMHO bakit ako kukuha ng di ko pa naman magagamit baka after months or years may mas new model pa and magagamit ko na ung feature na yun kasi may mga HDTV or PJ ng mura na may feature ng 4k video.
-
Haha, sabagay bro tama ka diyan
we just need the features that are needed, may android app naman ata as per the brochure.
siya nga pala who is your seller sa ebay? comparing prices kasi.
The onkyo i am looking at amazon, pero for the yamaha sa ebay parang mas ok yung deal e.
mukang mapapa yamaha ako hahaha

Yes may android phone na yan brader. Class B yung nakuha ko sa ebay alam ko USBargain yung seller. Ang pag kakaiba lang as per seller is yung warranty 1 year sa Class B and 2 -3 years yata sa Claa A which di ko naman magagamit. ;D ;D
Good luck in hunting the bang for the back deal. Get the one that you like most. ;D ;D
-
Bro,
I've heard of that seller. ok feedback niyan. tama ka the warranty is only applicable in the us. basta here naman satin may yamaha, onkyo techs ok naman.
Thanks talaga sa info bro, sige will be considering the units.
Thanks din sa info on the class a, and b. consider ko din hehe.
Will be deciding this week

No problema brader recommend ko pag pinadala mo wag mo ilagay sa iba pang box para alam nila na electronic item siya para naman handle with care nila lalo na pag sea freight yan matagal tagal na antayan ang 1 month. Ako kasi AIR Freight para mas mabilis medyo mahal nga lang pero yung pag alala and pag antay ko di matagal. Malaki din ang $100+ na additional from class A to Class B at saka nakakuha kasi ako ng mas magandang deal with US bargain the time i purchase my unit alam ko may 10 units pa that time now nasa 2-3 units na lang yata stock nila. ;D ;D

id say try to do process of elimination, compare features that both units have and choose the unit that has all the features you can use, there's no point buying something with features that does not have value to the user,
one thing that Onkyo has brag about all the time, the expansive sound that seems to go beyond the walls of your room
-
Hi guys,
Thanks for the insights, sorry kung napapasok na sa yamaha haha.. yap the 818 is the replacement of the 809, this month daw lalabas sa us, sa japan its out na.
Other avr's are also outing the new models.
Bro onkyo 606, musta na? long time no chat. 608 mo oks pa din? hehehe ako nabenta na kaya looking for the replacement.

+1. Tingin ko iba pa rin talaga tumunog ang Onkyo when it comes to movies. I've had 2 yamahas before (though not the aventage line) and ramdam ko ang difference when I upgraded to the 809. It has all the bells and whistles, bang for buck ika nga. Airplay lang ang kulang, although I don't miss it since I'm using an Airport Express naman for airplay. Anyway, whether Onkyo or Yamaha (especially the aventage line), I'm sure buyers can't go wrong, pareho naman maganda.
Siguro magkakatalo rin when it comes to Audyssey vs YPAO. Depende na lang sa preference ninyo. I wasn't really happy with the YPAO calibration of my previous yamaha and I had to redo it the old-fashion way (calibration disc + SPL). With the audyssey of the 809, minor tweaks lang sa subwoofer volume at ok na (+5db lang since I prefer boomier sound). Just like audyssey, iba-iba rin atang levels meron ang YPAO. Siguro sa aventage line nila, mas spot-on ang calibration.
-
Hahaha,
Talaga kayo guys, tuloy its very hard to decide na hahaha.... Ah talaga naka 809 na si bro onkyo606???? dati sabay kami nag 608 hahaha...
hows the volume level sa 809 guys? same pa din ba sa 608 na need almost half?
any concerns sa 809 na we should look out for?
trimming down na choices hahaha

Definitely, heat is not an issue anymore with the 809. I once had an issue with 3D. I can't get 3D to work. I thought cable problem. Then I reset the 809 and ok na siya eversince. Haven't encountered any other issues. I don't know the volume problem of the 608 but for the 809, my usual listening volume ranges from 65-75 db (82 db being the reference level).
-
Thanks for the feedback bro,
I plan kasi to put the unit sa av rack, bottom part.
Auditioned the 809 kahapon sa makati, iba nga talaga tumunog haha, hmmm... ok will be choosing from 2 items nalang hehe.
will be getting the unit from the us kasi, thats why i went around asking for brand support for the major brands, onkyo had the most support locally, kaya medyo isip isip down to 2 models.
Will be using naman 70% movies, 30% gaming minimal audio
-
thought of reposting my non technical and non-expert impression of the Onkyo 809
some interesting things about the 809
1. When doing calibration, Audyssey Mult EQ XT will prompt you to set your subwoofer gain so that it will
read 75db only, problem is that to achieve 75db(actually around 76db sya), the gain of the Ultra is set to
only around 830 o clock halos zero na yung gain.
2. Calibration is a breeze. It becomes faster by 50% and it uses 8 mic positions.
3. After completing the calibration, two options can be chosen for the Audyssey EQ activation, one for
Music and one for Movie.
4. When the gain is set to produce 75db, resulting level calibration for the sub is exactly at zero(not sure if
the same for all situations though). Distances measured for left and right front are the same and so are
for the surrounds. The same is true for the level calibrations.
5. Apart from the THX Loudness Plus, it has an option to use Dolby Volume(these acts just like Audyssey
Eq) so you have more flexibility on chosing your SQ preference.
6. The 809 greatly improved the HF part, the center channel and the surround.Panning has become more
pronounced. SQ became richer and the details improved a lot
7. It does not heat up unlike the 807 or 808 perhaps. While this is so, it comes with two built in fans inside
that pushes hot air out of the top vents.
8. It has a couple of HDMI outs that allows you to choose either Main, Sub or both and has tons of HDMI Ins
8 if im not mistaken.
9. It has a couple USB slots(1 in front and 1 at the back) that allows you to play even FLAC files directly.
Whats nice, when playing via USB, the display panels would display the title of the song and the artist
and sounds better compared to playing music via the NMT.
10. It has a very nice looking front fascia, very elegant and minimalistic, only downside but depending on
preference, the volume knob is now lighted white instead of blue.
11. For video, there are several options to choose, it has ISF day, ISF night, Direct and Custom among
others, it comes with 4K upscaling thought this may not matter yet considering panels should be 4K too
Overall, the 809 is a huge leap compared to its predecessors and is fully packed with features that can only be present in more expensive models of other brands.Only downside is that it is only MultEQ XT and not XT32. If you are willing to shell out an extra 1K to 1.5K USD, then you may want to go the 3009 route, apart from the XT32, i think all the rest are basically the same in the aspect of things that matters to your basic needs-5.2 channels, HQV upscaler among others.
People have different view about what is excellent sounding, Yamaha fanatics would surely profess about how good it is, Onkyo would and perhaps Denon folks as well. Prior to getting my previous mid level receiver(807), i did listened to several brands, there is one that really sound very nice but price is very high, there is one that is of the same price level as the 809 but does not look appealing(yes i have strong consideration for the physical appearance and build), there is one that sounds good but does not have the slam im looking for and there is one that has the slam but overpowering naman
Onkyo is known for that slam and finesse combined, very powerful and fast paced parang in your face ang tunog , this would not appeal to people na laidback ang gustong set up kase mapapagod sila pakikinig.
The 809 met my expectations-SQ, build quality, aesthetics and price thats why to me this is the best. There will always be something out there better than the 809 but I dont like the looks, the added features that spiked the cost up and surely hve nit met my expectations.
Get a 3009 or 5009 and thats a different story overall,

Import naman, so bilhin mo pareho then benta mo yung hindi mo type in the end.
Ang dali ibenta ng Onkyo 809 and ng Yamaha A2010 basta US level ang prices, and mababawi mo pa yung shipping cost and meron ka pang pang-kain ng Wagyu dinner. ;)
Or you might end up with Onkyo 2010 and Yamaha 809 dahil hindi mo mabitawan pareho. ;D ;D ;D
The good news about your situation is that you have many choices. The bad new is, you have many choices din. ;D
Pero kung gusto mong walang isipan na matipid, just get the Onkyo 809. My 1008 is practically the same as the 809 so effectively I have 2. I mentioned how much I love the Yamaha and Im keeping the AX1 forever. But I dont have any regrets about my 2 Onkyos.
Kung concerned ka about reliability, then get Yamaha - that is, if you believe yung feedback sa net.

Bro, my head is spinning round and round na...
Onkyo 2010 and Yamaha 809 ;D
Dun nalang ako sa wagyu thread (magnificient!) and MTB... perfect combination... one adds, the other deducts...
-
That's the point Bro when total confusion sets in as there is probably very subtle or subjective difference if the 809 and 2010 are listened to side by side. ;D ;D ;D. You can even piggy back the two. hehehe
Yung Yamaha yata ay mas HIGH DEF ang LED display. hehehe.

eh pareho namang nasa yo na yata eh, pakiggan mo na lang and keep the one that makes you happy and satisfied, at the end of the day, inputs lang yung mababasa mo dito sa thread, but ikaw pa din ang masusunod kung ano ang maganda para sa yo.
if you want the better route to take, gayahin mo na lang si nogie, binibili nya na lang lahat at pinapakinggan sa bahay, yung gusto nya keep nya yung di nya gusto benta nya na lang
about the MTB, be careful what you wish for, mas magastos hahahaha

thought of reposting my non technical and non-expert impression of the Onkyo 809
some interesting things about the 809
7. It does not heat up unlike the 807 or 808 perhaps. While this is so, it comes with two built in fans inside
that pushes hot air out of the top vents.
I think point 7 is quite re-assuring and also noticed that you need to make sure you have sufficient room to allow the top vents to function properly as expected.
-
Hahaha... my wife is about to throw everything back at me... baka balik na lang ako sa old trusted headphones ::) ;D

i have observed na unlike previous models, kahit naka dalawang movies na ako di naman nag init ng matindi ang 809, having enough breathing room between the top cover and the bottom portion of a rack though would definitely be a welcome thing, di ko pa nakitang nag engage yung fans nung unit ko kase nag engage lang yata pag needed na.
by the way di na ako gumagamit ng rack, naka granite plinth na lang ako.
-
granith plinth... nice! ;)
-
Thanks guys,
hahaha, dami technical hehe... actually the cost for the 809 is far from the 2010, laki mura. i might be getting it at around $770 lang dun sa suki ng sister ko sa us. Yung yamaha kasi around $1039 pa hehe. Iam having them shipped together with some items fr HT and sa auto.
Will be using my stored pro center and pro monitors.
Kung dalawa na yung cooling fans niya thats very nice!!!!
Mukang may winner na hahahaha!!!!! friday na friday decide na!!!!!

Thanks guys for the feedback for both brands,
Both of them naman are good avr's siguro depende nalang sa ears and experience with the brand they like.

Why not get it from amazon? Last time I checked $709 lang siya with free shipping. Anyway, you can't go wrong with either the 2010 or 809, although they are really not on the same level. Ka-level ng 809 (price-wise) is the Aventage A810.

Yap bro, sa amazon. there will be rebate from the price, $700 usd nalang siya from the seller 1call. Feature wise, medyo malayo siya sa a810, there is a seller who is offering the a1010 at almost same price level. The a2010 kaprice na ng 1009. lampas na budget hahaha
What set of speakers will you use Sir?
Will be using definitive tech procenter 1000, mythos set for surround, and super cue for sub.

Comparing the List Prices (MSRP) in Japan:
The 809 is between the 1010 and the 2010
The 1009 is about the same as the 3010
The 5009 has no equivalent model from Yamaha (yet).

Yap sa japan its in between the a1010 and a2010, the 1009 is sale na in japan. Ok sana kumuha sa japan, but the fm channel kasi is until 89.9 lang haha... pero usually they will release the new models there first kesa sa us. same as with tv's, camera's, and other stuff.
some models ng onkyo hindi na nila nilabas dun, like yung entry levels

Kung based on MSRP, kapantay nga 809 ang aventage 1010 (amazon, $1099). It's a good thing that sellers sell the 809 cheaper than the 1010.
-
dont go for a 1009, not much of a difference with 809 pero laki ng difference sa cost, same din naman na MultEQ XT, you wouldnt be dissapointed with the 809, if you get it and your not happy with it, I will give my subwoofer to you for free, provided you can carry it yourself hahahaha, but seriously, for the amount you will pay, you will never go wrong with the 809, this will probably be the only receiver that would last more than half a year with me, i will only upgrade if its a 3009 or 5009.

Right on bro, the cost is far from the 809, spec wise almost the same, wattage lang diff. hindi ko naman need yun hahaha... talaga ha free sub hahaha... did you get yours from the us also? killer naman na pag 3009 at 5009. haha, mukang to na guys talaga 809!!!!:)

Guys dito ba sa 09 series halos wala na handshake delays/issues? i tried 309 ng friend ko ok naman na for the ps3, dati kasi sa 608 at times meron issue pag ps3. weird pag ps3 lang naman, pero ibang source ok naman.

yes got mine form amazon too but through sir anya618, yung ma save mo for getting the 809 versus more expensive receiver pwede mo ng gamitin sa ibang bagay like acoustic treatment(very important)

Hahaha,
That means stand by me siya sa performance ng 809. pero iba talaga guys tunog onkyo, balance not tiring based sa experience ko sa 608. What more yung higher end models nila hehe
-
bro, pwede rin ba mag-avail ng "satisfaction guarantee protection cover" offer mo? ;D
pwedeng pwede sir, thats how staisfied I am with the 809, gamitin mo na kase yung sa yo, sayang at nakakulambo lang hahahaha

Tama si sir onkyo, difference between 809 & 1009 will only matter if you have 9 set of speakers (809 is 7.2 while 1009 is 9.2). Mas malaki nga ang difference ng 808 vs. 1008 kasi bukod sa 9 channels yong isa wala pa isf feature yong 808 ( i like the ISF night setting of 1008 & 3008). It is wrong to say that one receiver brand is better over the other. I have tried all the mainstream brand of avrs, each brand has its own characteristics, strength & weaknesses. Nasa preference na lang talaga....at para sa akin Onkyo pa rin ang aking pinaka-Love na AVR.

Planning to buy the used-like new 3009 at Amazon but they have a policy not to give out the serial number before buying the unit.. Check ko sana if these are the units affected by reported defects by Onkyo..

Mas maganda nga if you could check the serial no. i know units made from nov 011-dec 011 yung may recall for replacement.
BI talaga dito sa site natin hahaha, dami mong nakikita haha

Noted.. ;D will think hard whether to purchase this or wait for the upgrade to the 3009..
-
might as well wait for the TX-NR1010/3010/5010 announcements, but those won't come until later this year
you might also wanna consider waiting for discounted pricing on 818 (which has XT32 + 9.2 processing as per preliminary reports) and pair it with external amps (nice transition to separates IMO) ;)

You have a point there in waiting for the prices of the 818 to go down. Mabilis naman bumaba prices ng avr ngayon. onkyo will also always be the first to release new models, i think kaya mabilis din bumaba price.

809 user here. I use an ati1505 5 ch power amp. For me 809 sq improved greatly when used with power amp. Of course your speaker and audio source is also important. YMMV of course and it boils down to preference. Different power amps have different characteristics also that will affect sq

thanks sir jao but I think your ati is much powerful compared to what I have in mind. Btw, my system is 809 + rti A7, A6 and tsi 300 surrounds. Here is the specs of the bada Front L&R: 120w
Center & Surrounds: 110w Fual torroidal transformers.

Now ko lang napansin ang post mo brader. FRS freight shipping can also do a checking of unit like power up to check id DOA kahit ala ka kamaganak sa US puwede na mag purchase ng hindi ka nag alala if DOA ung unit na nakuha mo before shipping sa pinas. Medyo pricey nga lang ang SEA freight nila compare sa Forex pero yung sa AIR freight nila 1 week lang ang aabutin. In my experience mas mababa ng kaunti ang shipping cost nila ng AIR compare sa ibang shipping company. Sa kanila ko pinaship ang PJ and receiver ko without worrying na DOA kasi nacheck muna nila by powering up bago ship sa akin. Hope this can help those thus not have relatives to check the unit before shipping going to PH. Lahat ng AIR shipping ko 1 week lang ang inaabot and no delay i think 6x na akong nag papaship sa kanila. ;D ;D

do take note na hindi "all-or-nothing" ang operation ng a/v receiver (and most other electronics). just because it powers on, doesn't mean automatically that all it's functions would work. possible na merong defective amp section or non-working i/o connections. these kind of issues don't manifest themselves unless you do a full test of the device by connecting speakers on all amp channels and connecting a/v sources to all relevant inputs, testing out the included accessories and miscellaneous functions as well.
whenever you import a unit yourself, do understand the risks you take and be prepared for the possibility that the unit may need servicing when it arrives here.
lemon units are rather rare but they are encountered from time to time. fortunately (in my experience at least) i have yet to receive a lemon and majority of other members have been lucky enough as well ;)

Tama brader pero mas ok pa din na nag power up than DOA pag nareceive mo dito sa atin. Kaya ako prefer ko pa din na may testing para macheck if DOA mas mahirap kasi pag DOA ung unit atleast pag DOA na dumating sa shipping company puwede mo pa ibalik para palitan than DOA na dumating sa pinas. ;) ;)

Actually mababa na yong price ng 3009 na $1339 ngayon. This is almost the same price when I purchase my 3008. Wala pa ako nakita na brand new 3008 or 3009 na below $1000 kahit sa black friday sale. ;)

saw HT-RC360 at Amazon for USD320.38 .... tempting.
Lalo na sa budget conscious like me.
reliable ba pa-ship through POBox.com.ph? USD75 ata yun sea freight nila e.
meron ba mas cheaper alternative?

Mga gurus, sino may Onlyo 809 dito?
Ask ko lang kung pwede ba ma bi-amp yun? Plano ko kasi kumuha in the not so near future to pwer some big speakers say a polk audio Rti A7 or A9 ;D

Thanks sir. Sorry clueless ako sa ganitong set-up, so if I bi-amp it, then the 135w/ ch doubles making it 270 watts?

I honestly don't know, better ask stagea ;) ;) ;)
-
i don't think there is any advantage in using the bi-amp feature on our onkyo avrs because it's drawing power from the same power block. when i tried it, no difference in the sound. a meager 50wpc integrated amp showed more promise instead.

I just got an Onkyo 809 to replace my 805. When doing the auto calibration, it instructs you to set the subwoofer level to 75db. It also displays the current SPL reading of the sub(s) in real time. Without doing any adjustments on the gain of my subs (because I have already set this correctly before), the reading is at 85-86db. When I proceeded with the auto calibration, the result was -10.5db to my subs. Using an SPL meter, the sub level is way below the level of the other speakers. I had to turn it up to 0db to get the bass level equal to the speakers.
Why is the actual bass output set too low? Is this normal?
I was thinking that if I follow the instructions and set my subs to 75db, it should set the level to approx. 0db. But I think the actual output would still be the same and remain a lot lower than the other speakers.
-
I also have a similar experience doing auto calibration using my 709. I do not have an SPL meter, but noticed that setting the subwoofer level to 75db requires me to turn the gain dial of my sub (YST-SW315) to about only one-fourth of full power. My room measures around 16' x 12'. I have an old DTX-4.15 on stand by for a dual sub setup, but it seems I have no need for it because of this. I nevertheless end up cranking the gain of my sub to about 50% as a personal preference.
My officemate who owns a 809 also had the same experience using his PSW-125.
Any thoughts from the expert users?
-
Repost ko lang Bro Paul in behalf of brader Tirso...
thought of reposting my non technical and non-expert impression of the Onkyo 809
some interesting things about the 809
1. When doing calibration, Audyssey Mult EQ XT will prompt you to set your subwoofer gain so that it will
read 75db only, problem is that to achieve 75db(actually around 76db sya), the gain of the Ultra is set to
only around 830 o clock halos zero na yung gain.
2. Calibration is a breeze. It becomes faster by 50% and it uses 8 mic positions.
3. After completing the calibration, two options can be chosen for the Audyssey EQ activation, one for
Music and one for Movie.
4. When the gain is set to produce 75db, resulting level calibration for the sub is exactly at zero(not sure if
the same for all situations though). Distances measured for left and right front are the same and so are
for the surrounds. The same is true for the level calibrations.
5. Apart from the THX Loudness Plus, it has an option to use Dolby Volume(these acts just like Audyssey
Eq) so you have more flexibility on chosing your SQ preference.
6. The 809 greatly improved the HF part, the center channel and the surround.Panning has become more
pronounced. SQ became richer and the details improved a lot
7. It does not heat up unlike the 807 or 808 perhaps. While this is so, it comes with two built in fans inside
that pushes hot air out of the top vents.
8. It has a couple of HDMI outs that allows you to choose either Main, Sub or both and has tons of HDMI Ins
8 if im not mistaken.
9. It has a couple USB slots(1 in front and 1 at the back) that allows you to play even FLAC files directly.
Whats nice, when playing via USB, the display panels would display the title of the song and the artist
and sounds better compared to playing music via the NMT.
10. It has a very nice looking front fascia, very elegant and minimalistic, only downside but depending on
preference, the volume knob is now lighted white instead of blue.
11. For video, there are several options to choose, it has ISF day, ISF night, Direct and Custom among
others, it comes with 4K upscaling thought this may not matter yet considering panels should be 4K too
Overall, the 809 is a huge leap compared to its predecessors and is fully packed with features that can only be present in more expensive models of other brands.Only downside is that it is only MultEQ XT and not XT32. If you are willing to shell out an extra 1K to 1.5K USD, then you may want to go the 3009 route, apart from the XT32, i think all the rest are basically the same in the aspect of things that matters to your basic needs-5.2 channels, HQV upscaler among others.
People have different view about what is excellent sounding, Yamaha fanatics would surely profess about how good it is, Onkyo would and perhaps Denon folks as well. Prior to getting my previous mid level receiver(807), i did listened to several brands, there is one that really sound very nice but price is very high, there is one that is of the same price level as the 809 but does not look appealing(yes i have strong consideration for the physical appearance and build), there is one that sounds good but does not have the slam im looking for and there is one that has the slam but overpowering naman
Onkyo is known for that slam and finesse combined, very powerful and fast paced parang in your face ang tunog , this would not appeal to people na laidback ang gustong set up kase mapapagod sila pakikinig.
The 809 met my expectations-SQ, build quality, aesthetics and price thats why to me this is the best. There will always be something out there better than the 809 but I dont like the looks, the added features that spiked the cost up and surely hve nit met my expectations.
Get a 3009 or 5009 and thats a different story overall,

Thanks bro! Yung actual sound output level ng sub ang mahina compared to the rest of the speakers after running the auto calibration. Without doing any changes sa gain ng subs ko, sa onkyo 805 pantay yung actual SPL ng subs sa speakers pero pag sa 809 mas mababa siya by 10db.
Bale i need to turn down the the gain of my subs now to get Subwoofer +0db but the actual output being set by the Onkyo 809's auto calibration is still 10db lower than what the Onkyo 805 sets.
In short, after running the same auto calibration in both receivers (without changing anything), the 809 will set the sub 10db lower in actual SPL output. Kailangan ko itaas yung subwoofer level by 10db to get the same output as my 805.
-
i don't think there is any advantage in using the bi-amp feature on our onkyo avrs because it's drawing power from the same power block. when i tried it, no difference in the sound. a meager 50wpc integrated amp showed more promise instead.
It would make a difference if you set it to STEREO.

Please help! Anyone knows where can I have my Onkyo 494 receiver serviced? Some buttons are malfunctioning and the remote is either dead or the receiver can't received the signal from it.

Ang alam ko is the Pioneer/onkyo service center in West avenue

For Onkyo X09 and X009 owners, there's a new firmware available for download. It was released last 07/05/12.

Is anybody here already using TX-NR616? Planning to get one for an upgrade. I'm pairing it with Diamond 9.1, 9.CS, 9.SRs and Polk Audio PSW110. TV is 42LW5700 with 3D BD player and xBox 360 as source. My room is not that big enough and currently using a Yamaha RX-V361. I hate my current cabling system. My current receiver don't have HDMI. Video goes to the TV through HDMI and audio through digital inputs of my receiver. I know it's a big leap to get the 616 but I'm seriously considering on ordering it soon.
Any review on the 616?
-
^ i haven't tried it yet but from what i can gather, audio/video performance is virtually the same as it's predecessor, the 609.
i've had experience pairing x07, x08, and x09 receivers with 9cs + 9.1 + 9dfs + 9sr and they all sound good to me. my ears ain't audiophile grade though :D
do take note that there have been reports online regarding some firmware bugs. personally i'd wait for the kinks to be sorted out, especially if you'd like to take advantage of the new features ;)

Would you advise for me to wait or get the 609 instead which will save me a little bit?

new features introduced in onkyo 2012 models:
* MHL (mobile HDMI link)
* InstaPrevue
* some GUI enhancements
* improved standby operation (reduced power consumption when using HDMI-through, network standby giving ability to switch the receiver on via remote app ala Wake-On-LAN)
if any of the features above are must-haves for you then i suggest holding out for the 616, otherwise either way will be great. street price for both is quite the same so you won't really save much with 609. if you go with the older model, it would be for the reason that it currently has a more mature firmware.

Wake on-LAN is not a new feature. I'm not sure what series it started, but its there in 08 series.

sorry, got it mixed up with network control... but anyway, this new feature appears to be the culprit causing issues on operation affecting entry level 2012 models

Any 809 user here running dual subs?
1. Does audyssey calibrate them individually?
2. How did did you connec the subs? Y connector to 1 sub channel of the avr or individual?

Connect mo na lang 1 sub per output, Master Dennis. The receiver will treat them as a single sub. Kung may SPL meter ka, imatch mo yung gain ng dalawa before calibrating. Kung wala, tantsa na lang.

thanks master ivan. I will try and calibrate later pag uwi ko from the office. Makahanap narin muna ng mahihiraman ng spl meter.

Onkyo guru's...question.
My friend has an Onkyo 809. Last night, after a long time of not calibrating his system, he tried to reposition his speakers and sub. He ran the Audessey calibration about 7 times and at each time he did it, he got an error in the right speaker. When he tried to switch speakers, the error transfered to the left speaker naman.
Has anyone encountered this dilemma? Your feedback is much appreciated. :)
-
brader Marts, you mean switch - the right speaker with error conected to left output of the amp and error switched also to the left? have you tried calibrating with other pair of speakers? if the problem happens only with that pair means the system detected something wrong with that particular piece.
:)

I really find the 3008 really good but not that good when it comes to music playback. Power is there but of course you'll have to match it well.
My 3008 is now powering Polk speakers and I'm realizing that it kinda having a hard time at certain scenes. If you have specific questions that you need help with, just let me know

Thanks for the reply. How can u say its not good for music playback? What kind of scenes it does a hard time driving?
I am drawn to this 3008 because of the multi eqxt32. But is it easy to calibrate? What year po ba lumabas itong model na ito?
I have entry level speakers (polk tsi 300 and cs10, wh2 for surrounds and dswpro 660i for subs). I have entry level panny AR100 and i think i need a 2 video out amp. I am currently using onkyo 508. My living room is around 25sq m and has high ceiling. My sofa - tv screen distance is around 14 feet.

This receiver is fully capable of driving your speakers naman. My speakers are a little harder to drive. So I don't think you'll ever encounter any problems if you do decide to get the 3008. But if I were you I'd get the newer version na (3009).
The xt32 is awesome. It'll calibrate two subs, should you decide to go that route. Also the isf is pretty cool too. For me it does make a difference in pq.
-
I have budget constraints. 3009 is unreachable at the moment even if I want to. Front fascia of 3008 looks awesome too.

Consider mo din bro ang Onkyo 818, XT32 na din cya ;)
-
dalawang option nya for sure hehe
3008 or 1009
both of them will be good enough to drive his speakers
-
bro vg madaling iset-up ang audyssey ng 3008 using 8 locations. Yung last set-up ko sakto yung calibration niya of the speakers but I always tweak the settings to my preference. So far no issues for me, ultra nice for ht especially if you can maximize the 9.2 channel set-up(prefer ko front wide then front heights. Nice din for music lalo na if you use all 9 channels, wide ang soundstage. I acquired a 3 channel power amp just. to make sure kasi 9 channels yung pinpapagana. And buy the 3008 a fan kasi talagang mainit yung top niya. For the usb it can detect hdd(tried a wd elements 2tb). yung burr brown chipset ng 3 series iba sa 1 series, parang kapareho ng 1 series yung sa 8 series. HTH

Afaik, MultEQ XT32 can also apply more and more precise filters, which could help get the actual system response closer to Audyssey's target (versus lower implementations).

Thanks. It will be airfreight. My budget was supposed to be 20k only so lagpas na talaga sya but very willing to spend that if 609 is worth it. I'm not planning to upgrade my speakers and hopefully this receiver will improve my Diamond 9.1, 9.CS, Studio 2 surround (to replace with 9.SR) and PSW110 over my old entry level Yamaha RX-V361. Room is not that big:

a bit technical Veegee but this explanation of sir Ivan is the best reason why I would go for the 3008 though older model compared to newer model 818, im sure sir Ivan would oblige if we ask some layman explanation of what more precise filter is all about
since the 3008 is cheaper compared to the 818 or 3009, you can enjoy high end features present in both the 818 and 3009 and a chance to save some money to get a better speaker set in the future. The 3008 used to cost 2K USD and above, Amazon price is very erratic, once a bargain comes along and you really like the item, grab it, I got my RC HT 180 before for close to 800 USD, after a while it became around 550 USD, after just a couple of moths or so, the HT RC180 went back to 800 plus USD, same thing for higher models, im sure the price of the 3008 right now may not be the same a few weeks or months from now.

Sir Tirso,
I was able to purchase an onkyo 818 for only US$846.00 a couple of weeks ago. Now it went back to: $1,199.00 ;D ;D ;D
All in all, I spent approx. 45k pesos for this. Onkyo 3008 is in the 1.9k US$ while the 3009 is 1.3k US$ in amazon.
-
Just a quick question. Will it not be an overkill to match the 609 with Diamond 9.1/CS? Do you recommend bi-amping my 9.1? Thanks again!
-
Sir what speakers are you planning to pair with the 3008? Are you goin dual subs? Multieq xt32 advantage against multieq xt is that xt32 can calibrate 2 subs.
I am fantasizing about B&W or MA Floorstanders speakers. Dual subs may be a possibilty in the future since my good boss is giving me his paradigm subs daw. That would make 2 subs for me.

If ever, I wont source it from US though and in the place where I am getting the 3008, 818 is not available yet. Its good that I am getting a better deal and the newer 3009 is less expensive than the 3008.

According to the tech that i talked to, mas maganda kung at least every year eh mabukasan mo yung AVR to remove the dust specially pag AC yung room mo.. Kasi kung may accumulated dust yung AVR tapos naka AC, yung moisture after the AC ang mag papatigas sa namuong alikabok.. Or sometimes pag humid yung room mo specially ngayong tag ulan... Just be careful not to move any internal parts.. blower(yung ginagamit sa DSLR) and soft brush will do..

thank you guys, tamang-tama long weekend malinis nga yung AVR.

No. But you can still watch 3D movies without a 3D capable AVR. You will use 2 HDMI cables, one from the 3D player to the AVR for the sound, one from the 3D player to the TV for the Video. This is assuming that your 3D player has 2 HDMI output ports.

This is just my theory, since the output of the avr cannot support huge 3D data, then logically it cannot pass-through either.

Baka mas mabuti pa idirect na lang yung player sa tv. ;D

Hi-end 3D capable AVR can pass through 3D signals..

You will still need the AVR for the sound..

I'm in the premise of the question sir. Since his AVR is non-3D.

monoprice has a product that splits a single HMDI into 2 HDMI that supports 3D. one output can feed the display and the other to the avr. hopefully this will be the answer.

i don't own a BD player. is 2 hdmi output a standard now on BDPs?
if using a BD player with one hdmi out, i can hook the hdmi direct to the display and use optical for audio.
heard that optical does not support HD audio. will i miss a lot of "bang" if using the conventional audio format?

It's not standard for 3D players to have 2 HDMI output ports. I know OPPO 3D players have 2 HDMI output ports.
If you are into 3D, I guess it will be best to have HD sound together with 3D viewing. Optical does not support HD audio. Only HDMI.

I think the question is about pass-through, meaning ignoring the AVR's capability but still able to watch in 3D. So multichannel audio is out of the question. Unless, of course the TV itself can output multichannel audio... :)

my bro just told me that he connected his samsung 3D bluray player to a denon 2308 (non-3D) then out to a samsung series 6 3D plasma without any issues playing 3D blurays. he mentioned that the 3D is side-by-side processing.
is it possible that the receiver converted the 3D material to 2D then the 3D plasma converts it back to 3D?
i told him try connecting the bluray to the plasma directly and see if their is a difference. but it's strange that the receiver managed to pass thru the 3D material. read somewhere that if 3D material is fed to a non-3D receiver, no signal will come out on the receiver's HDMI out.
i have seen his setup before but did not bother asking about the HDMI connections. now. i'm interested to know because i already bought a PJ and want to find out a way if my non-3D onkyo 1007 will work as a repeater.

Are you sure bout this sir because from the specs of Denon 2308, its HDMI version is only 1.3? You need at least 1.4 to pass through a 3D signal indirectly from player - receiver - tv.

I think it covert the bluray 3D to SBS not the original Bluray 3D.

yes, i'm sure about this because i've watched 3d on his plasma using bluray. the image is 3d and not like the converted 2d to 3d quality.
di ko lang alam paano nya ni setup pero ngayon kinonfirm nya sa akin na ganon talaga, dumaan sa denon 2308.
probably xrampage is right, the plasma converted the signal to SBS.
now i told my bro to hook the bluray player direct to the plasma and compare the result. wait ko pa reply nya.

Sa HDMI kasi puwede din gamitin ang 1.3 version kaya puwedeng mangyari ang scenario ni GneW na SBS yung naging resulta kasi di naman 3D capable yung reciever. May nakita na din ako dati 3D SBS naman yung play sa player na 3D capable player di ko lang alam kung 3D bluray but the TV is not 3D its LG scarlet 32 inch so ang nag play sa LG is SBS. may scenario din ako na sabi nila di puwede ang 1.3 na HDMI sa bluray 3D i tested in my setup and the 1.3 HDMI work with my iso bluray 3D original bluray 3D output not SBS. ;) ;)
-
my bro is using a standard hdmi from denon to plasma. hi bluray may have used a 1.3 or 1.4 hdmi (the ones given free from samsung) connected to the denon.
so, is the output of the denon downscaled to 2D then the plasma did the SBS conversion?
or, the output of the denon is SBS then passes thru a standard HDMI and displayed by the 3D plasma?

You can check that by disabling the 3D of the plasma in my PJ there is a option to disable the 3D features. If you disable the 3D feature of the plasma and SBS is still output on the TV then the receiver pass through the SBS to the TV if not then the TV convert the bluray to SBS. ;) ;)

Onkyo traditionally cut down on features when they introduce new model, best resource for information right now would be users in the AVS Forum madalas naman kase mga taga US nag unang gumagamit ng bagong labas na modelo.
Would you believe, 809 sells for around 65K locally while the newest model 818 can be had for only around 54K locally, when I asked my friend on why this is so, my friend told me the new model looks differently from the 809, they say the innards and the features are different, did not bother to verify kase di ko na rin naman naiinitindihan yung mga itsura ng receiver sa loob.

gud am sirs,
need your inputs sa balak ko gawin. im only using an NR509.. i've read in some forum na "fake" ang zone 2 ng 509, which still needs another amp to power it.
possible ba na... i'd get a tube amp (yaqin vk2100), somehow connect it to the 509's zone 2 to power it? thanks in advance!

i dont know what happen to my older post but yes its true you can pass-though 3d with a 1.3 hdmi receiver.
its been done with other brands. an avforumer was able to get 3d on his harman kardon 255 and ps3. you need to fool the receiver into thinking its 1.4.

May update na? ;D ;D
been to my bro's place to test out his setup. he was able to play 3D using a 3D bluray player but in SBS mode. i hooked up the bluray direct to the plasma using a hi-speed hdmi cable and voila, the picture quality improved compared to watching using the SBS mode. it showed a real 3D where objects pops out of the screen and come near you. with the previous setup, those scenes pops out but just a little.
we've tried a downloaded 1080p SBS movies, they were less stellar than the bluray but i find it okay. i'm a newbie in 3D though, so take my comment as a grain of salt ;D
i don't have a 3D capable NMT. do you think it is a wise choice to use a 3D bluray player rather than buy a 3D capable NMT? what would be the advantage of the NMT? the downloaded 3Ds were played using a HDD hooked to the bluray's USB port and it played the 3D files flawlessly. i'm thinking of getting a bluray player with dual hdmi to work with my non 3D receiver. this player should be able to play both bluray disc and downloaded materials.

Mas maganda naman talaga ang real 3D than SBS. What bluray player na ba ang nag susuport ng iso 3D bluray? There is a player/NMT that support both iso and bluray disc HD Dune. ;) ;)

You should wait for the Dune HD Pro or Popcorn Hour A/C400 or Egreat S300.
They are already using the new Sigma 8910/8911 which will be capable of playing full 3D bluray iso. Ang Egreat R6s and R300 which uses Realtek 1186 capable na din but wala support for full bluray menu.

Anybody experience this on their onkyo tx-nr709 110volts, minsan while watching bluray, my receiver will turn off then turn on again automatically, happens only once in the entire length of the movie, sa dvd player ko na naka input sa cbl/sat ng receiver using rca cables ok naman, unlike sa BD/DVD input na hdmi 1.3b gamit ko.
Then I turn the receiver off after watching a movie in BD/DVD input, when I turn it on again, I heard several clicking sound like a relay, it goes around 8 to 10 clicking sound (around 10 seconds) before turning on again. Pero kung nakinig lang ako using the tuner or other sources except the bluray wala naman problem.
HDMI board kaya problem or firmware update kailangan.
Any input guys?

Is a difference of 5 watts per channel (145 vs 140) between the 5009 and 3009 significant?
Ano ba talga advantage if Torroidal ang transformers? The 5009 has one torroidal transformer while the 3009 wala.

Lesser radiated magnetic field. This can reduce the noise floor in some components, lalo na kung kulang sa shielding/isolation. In an AVR from a major manufacturer, I wouldn't be too worried about it.
Other possible advantages include lesser weight for the same capacity and higher efficiency. Disadvantages are saturation properties and manufacturing cost.

Benefits of Toroidal Transformer Design
Efficiency: The toroidal form of transformer offers excellent efficiency for a given size and weight.
The toroidal core provides a virtually perfect magnetic circuit, eliminating the inherent air gaps of conventional laminated-bobbin transformers. Higher flux densities, along with full utilization of the core area, result in a smaller component-typically 50% of the size and weight of laminated components. The overall efficiency of toroidals is typically 90 to 95%, and with custom design can be even higher. Due to the high quality, tightly wound, grain-oriented silicon steel core, very low core losses and off-load magnetizing currents can be achieved, adding to the overall efficiency.
Low noise and low stray flux field: Because the magnetic circuit is so complete, and due to the uniform distribution of the windings over the core, a toroidal transformer is very quiet in operation-with low or even zero mechanical hum caused by magnetostriction. Toroidal transformers also exhibit very low levels of noise-inducing stray magnetic fields (typically 8 times lower than laminated stack type transformers). This makes the toroid the perfect choice for sensitive electronic systems such as high-gain preamplifiers and instrumentation.
Good regulation: The winding configuration of toroidal transformers results in very low leakage inductance. This inductance is produced when a percentage of the magnetic flux produced by the primary is not utilized by the secondary, therefore not generating any voltage-a common characteristic of laminated stack transformers. Because toroidal winding results in tight coupling, virtually all the flux is utilized (and not left to radiate and interfere with circuitry). This enables tight regulation, with off-load secondary voltages lower than laminates. In addition, lower copper loss results in less power being wasted as heat.
Ease of mounting: The majority of toroidal transformers are mounted with one central screw, speeding production time and lowering the parts count of mounting hardware. For special applications, custom mounting methods can easily be provided for greater production efficiency.
Packaging versatility: A toroidal transformer with specific characteristics can be varied in height and diameter to meet product-design requirements. This enables the transformer to meet enclosure space constraints. Tall cylinder or flat disc styles can be produced to meet retrofit space requirements or low-profile applications.
Markings: Avel Lindberg Standard Toroidal Transformers comply with most of the world's major safety standards (including UL506, UL2601, UL1411, and UL1950) and are built under our UL- and CSA-recognized design and construction files. Custom designs can be manufactured to comply with most other standards, whether European, medical, military, or commercial. All Avel transformers are CE marked.

Questions mga bros, I'm currently using an onkyo 818. What setting should I use in the speaker set up when I use Left, Right, Center SVS M01 speakers na 4ohms, and an SVS SSS-02 speakers na 8ohms?
Is it also safe for the AVR to use speakers with different impedance?
Thanks.
-
Hi Jao,
The 818 might have a hard time with that combination. AFAIK the onkyos can handle different impedances if they're 6 and 8 ohms. however sa literature niya its indicated to avoid using different impedences. If you'd still want to try the setting should be at 4ohms.

Thank you sir :) I guess the best way to go is to use an external power amp :)
-
Np Bro :) I would reco an external amp para safe. Sayang yung 818 if it gets busted.

Questions mga bros, I'm currently using an onkyo 818. What setting should I use in the speaker set up when I use Left, Right, Center SVS M01 speakers na 4ohms, and an SVS SSS-02 speakers na 8ohms?
Is it also safe for the AVR to use speakers with different impedance?
Thanks.
page 59 on the manual:
Speaker Impedance
4 ohms: Select if the impedance of any speaker is 4 ohms or more but less than 6.
6 ohms: Select if the impedances of all speakers are between 6 and 16 ohms.
when Speaker Impedance is set to 4 ohms, a current limiter is activated within the circuitry so that output power remains within safe operating specs.
impedance ratings as published by speaker manufacturers are average values within the operating bandwidth of the speaker, it's not constant across all frequencies. a speaker rated at 8 ohms may have impedance as low as maybe 6 ohms and can be as high as 50+ ohms.
the 818 is certified for 4 ohms performance, and being THX certified it must also be able to handle as speaker loads as low as 3.2 ohms for short durations.
The 818 might have a hard time with that combination. AFAIK the onkyos can handle different impedances if they're 6 and 8 ohms. however sa literature niya its indicated to avoid using different impedences. If you'd still want to try the setting should be at 4ohms.
i seem to have missed this part...

I sent an inquiry to OnkyoUSA, here is their response:
(1) When selecting 4 ohm speaker impedance on the receiver; ALL connected speakers must be between 4 ohms. Connecting 4 and 8 ohm speakers onto this unit will cause a imbalanced load and damage the receiver. For instance, you can damage the receiver if using 4 and 8 ohm speakers together on this receiver. (2) You can use 6 and 8 ohms speakers onto this receiver; as the variation is slightly different but is safe for operation of the receiver. (3) Lastly; using an external amp to drive your 4 ohm speakers independently from your 8 ohm speakers connected to the receiver would be derivative based on the external amp and not the TX-NR 818 receiver.
-
^ not sure if that is entirely accurate. here is what's stated on the manual (page 15):
Read the following before connecting your speakers:
• You can connect speakers with an impedance of between 4 and 16 ohms. If the impedance of any of the connected speakers is 4 ohms or more, but less than 6 ohms, be sure to set the minimum speaker impedance to “4ohms” (➔ page 59). If you use speakers with a lower impedance, and use the amplifier at high volume levels for a long period of time, the built-in protection circuit may be activated.
by the way, did you know that Onkyo's tech support is now handled by a local company?

Thank you sir. I will send a pm to astrokidd of Tipidpc :)
Though, Onkyo USA support na galing yung sagot eh, I just don't know what the local tech support will tell me.
To be safe, I'm not using the 4ohms speakers temporarily, till i get my hands on an external power amp.
-
i believe Onkyo USA support is outsourced to a Philippine BPO company. You'll probably get the same answer if that's what was trained to them.

Guys, Question: Will replacing the Cord of your Onkyo receiver to a Branded Power Cord make a big difference?

I'm using the furukawa on my onkyo and emo got it lang at 1.5k a pc for me worth it yon 1.5k I spent. I'm sure a lot will agree with me if you check his thread a lot gave good comments. From xlo to furukawa ako sir.

50K limit for the receiver alone? i wouldn't get anything less than a TX-NR818 with that budget...
if you're going to buy a brand new local unit though, i would suggest a TX-NR709 (or extend your budget to 54K for a TX-NR818)

sir , i wouldnt mind a 30k receiver if it sounds like or almost like a 50k. :) i live in cebu kasi sir. what we have here are the 616 and 515s. ill take a look at the 709. wala ba itong issues with hdmi and ps3?
-
anything less than a 709 or 818 will have 2EQ only (as opposed to MultEQ XT or higher)
IME, subwoofer equalization (which is not available on 2EQ models) is a very big improvement in terms of cleaning up the lower frequencies.
no issues with PS3 as long as you switch off DeepColor.
-
Yup I must agree. I came from multeq xt to xt32 really huge difference. My suggestion go for xt32 so the upgrade bug don't bite anymore. :)
-
@sir Louie may shop ba si elim? thanks
Wala cyang shop bro. PM mo cya. Pwede naman nyang ipaship yung items eh.

Komisyon ko ha, hehehe, joke ;D

I also agree. For future proof set up, I will also go for the 818.

Thanks bro the reco bro louie :D

I would also go with a unit that has XT32 with that budget para medyo matagal bago magupgrade ulit ;D

coming from an 809 I also had to choose between 3008 and 818. I can say I made the right choice and went for the 3008.

just a few more questions hehe. its still a toss up between a 818 and 3008.
1) 818 has dts neo x while the 3008 has dolby digital plus - are these important and which one is better?
2)thx select 2 plus and thx ultra 2 plus - more or less same lang ba?
3)HVQ reon vs HQV vida and Qdeo - are there any big diff here?
4) vector linear circuit - do i need this?
5) 4k - i plan to get a projector in the future, i can get this from a projector right?
6) does the 3008 have wifi and a control app for ipad?
7) hdmi passthrough and airplay- can i get this thru any 3rd party device?

1. DTS NEO:X is an upmixing feature (5.1/7.1 to 9.1/11.1) while Dolby Digital Plus is an encoding format.
DTS NEO:X is comparable to Audyssey DSX / Dolby ProLogic IIz Height
Dolby Digital Plus is analogous to DTS-HD High Resolution. its quality is somewhere between Dolby Digital (lossy) and Dolby TrueHD (lossless)
2. THX Ultra2 certification is more stringent compared to Select2, having higher performance goals. in actual usage though, IMO both would perform similarly provided that you operate with the limits of the hardware (i.e. don't use a Select2 gear for an oversized HT)
when you use external amplification, the differences become moot as the processing is exactly the same.
3. videophile question, only you can determine whether or not the difference is significant.
4. it's just a fancy name for one of the design features, chances are you won't even notice what it is for (i.e. what does VTEC and VVT do for you differently in your daily driving?)
5. yes. but if you'll run the HDMI connection from source to receiver to projector, everything must support 4K. if you'll run HDMI connection straight from source to projector, receiver doesn't have to be 4K compliant.
6. IIRC it's only available on XX09 and up. please check onkyo's website.
7. HDMI passthrough - using external switcher perhaps?
Airplay - definitely yes (Apple TV is the most common recommendation, i notice that my xtreamer SW3 has Airplay as well.)

thanks to all who took time to answer my questions.. as a first time buyer it took me a while to decide on which brand first and then the model. there were a lot of nice receivers both in the marketplace and dealers but some were just too expensive. it left me with a 3008 and 818 to decide on. both were neck in neck but i decided on the 818 to go as my first receiver. if im not satisfied with it i could always wait for sir Louie's 5009. tama ba? hehe. thanks again guys.
*@elim, left feedback. thanks
-
For item 6 sir there is an onkyo app available and used 2 other 3rd party apps to control the 3008 from anywhere in my house but tried it using the lan port of the receiver. I haven't tried using a wifi dongle.
-
thanks for the purchase bro. Enjoy! I don't think you'll get the upgrade itch anytime soon with the 818 :)

Hello Sirs, I am a newbie here.
I am planning to purchase my first home entertainment set up.
My budget of 40K - 50K on AV receiver and 35K - 45K speaker.
After viewing the forum here.
I am interested with Onkyo and heard a lot of good things about it.
Things I need are:
AV network receiver
2 Tower type of speaker
AVR
Cables
Stuff I got for my connected home entertainment
xbox 360 slim edition
Linksys SMART WiFi router AC 1750 HD Video Pro
Linksys Wireless AC Universal Media Connector
I will be needing your recommendation on ONKYO receiver, speakers, cables, and AVR.
Please advise.

^ why not the US version 818 at the same price? IMO, it's even better than a 1009 which is also within the 40K-50K price bracket (unless he'd go the whole shebang for a 9.1 setup, all powered by the receiver)

Hello Sirs,
Just read a review on the below link about Onkyo TXNR-818
http://www.digitaltrends.com/receivers-separates-amps-reviews/onkyo-tx-nr818-review/
What do you mean by:
- Grey-on-black labels are very difficult to read
- No digital outputs to support outboard DAC
Please advise.
-
- Grey-on-black labels are very difficult to read
the reviewer did not really elaborate, but i would suspect that it would be the labels on the front panel buttons. this is a non-issue as most users would prefer to use the remote anyway, and it's not that really hard to read unless you don't have good eyesight and/or you're trying to read them in low light condition
- No digital outputs to support outboard DAC
self explanatory - it has digital coax and optical inputs, but no outputs. if you're still unsure whether you want to use an outboard DAC, chances are you don't need one. if you're going to use a external DAC for stereo listening, you would most likely have a dedicated setup for audio anyway
both points above are just nitpicking and not really cons IMO

true. you'll need a light shining directly to read the labels...but then again i used the remote so not really a minus for me...

only time i felt a need for a digital out was when i didnt have the speakers and i wanted to connect the digital out to my old htib just to get a feel on how the features work..

Hi mga gurus...i have a 609 and will use it more for ht 70-30 than for audio...
Can you recommend a set of speakers?
budget is 12k to 15k for my fronts...initially looking at the polk audio tsi200 but can consider the tsi300 if amp can handle the power requirements. Baka kasi bitin ang 609 for floorstanders.
Other options are welcome. Tnx

Consider also Rti A1 or A3.
For me better ang A3 than TSi300

Hi guys. I need advise. I'm in Canada right now and it's Boxing sale week. I'm planning to buy a receiver.
Is this a good receiver for my bedroom? http://www.uk.onkyo.com/en/products/tx-sr309-35373.html It's only $187 or about P7,667 on sale. I will be powering 2 front floor standing Studio Acoustics (Daiichi) speakers lang. Maybe add a sub and a center channel later on. It will be used for my general audio. Music, PS3 and BluRay movies.
Or am I better off getting a higher end one in the MP? Any advice will be greatly appreciated. THANKS Onkyo guru's. :)

If kaya naman ng budget chief try to consider a beefier amp like the Onkyo 609 or 809 which is very cheap na considering its performance ;)

Nagkaroon din ako ng 805 before. Mataba, weighty, impactful at nasa warm side yung sound niya compared sa 809. Yung 809 sounds brighter, leaner and mas madetalye. Mas malutong din yung mga kalansing at mas defined yung individual instruments sa concerts. Sa PQ/video processing aspect hands down mas maganda ang 809.

Malamang wala Jamy. Set-up Menu Overlay is ON by default kung meron. Make up your mind habang BAKA puede mo pang palitan ng mas bago.
BTW, since you are using a VT30, no need to bother about the AVR's video processing. Magaling na yung TV mo sa video processing, and malamang, magaling na ring yung graphics card ng PC mo. Although it's good to try for the sake of science. I had tried video processing with the 1008 and the 809 but eventually turned it OFF and set to PASS-THROUGH - no need.

As for the 3008, merong overlay for some of the settings (listening modes, quick audio/video setting changes, etc). But for the complete setup menu (speaker settings, levels, etc), black screen na. Kaso may HDMI handshake issue when it switches back to my HTPC hehehe

so far wala handshake issue sa akin bro. Switching between standyby mode,ON via xbox and htpc, on the fly ang switching. Pretty much like my denon :)

I'm using Win7 64-bit + ATI HD 5450 for my HTPC. I lose audio when I switch back from the setup menu. Sometimes when I pause the movie and resume, nawawala rin. It switches to analog (based on the front panel display) when I pause/cut the hdmi signal. Hindi maka-establish ng HDMI audio afterwards. I tried researching for possible solutions pero wala pa ako nahanap na nag-work. I can live with it naman. And I'm very happy with the SQ of the Onkyo (and the MultEQ XT32 sub processing) for HT. Hassle lang pag wife ko nanonood tapos nawawala audio, nagagalit sa 'kin haha ;D
Btw, it only happens with the HTPC. For the BD player, no hdmi handshake issue.

its quite normal bro, kasi kung digital audio (DD, DTS, HD audio) minsan talaga sa player na ng htpc natin. for some reason di sila mag sync. so far have not experience that with my current receivers. but had that issue with my onkyo 508 and denon 1509 :)

Magkaiba tayo ng experience sir.. I'm also using an HTPC (calibrated and processed using AMD Catalyst) connected to an Epson 8700 projector but the PQ still improved a lot when I turned ON the video processing in my Onkyo 809.

ah ok
jammy gumagamit kaba ng spl meter? hehehe
worth it ba ung spl or better pa din talaga ung aud/mcacc/ypao
-
mas OK parin ang audyssey IMO, just tweak it after. feeling ko masyado akong spoiled sa multeq XT siguro :D
-
Badtrip even when thx disabled ayaw nya pumayag lower than 80hz ang sub cutoff
yup tama ganyan din saken...ayaw nya ng mas mababa pa sa 80hz,..ayan pala ung want mo mangyari... pero hind ko pa nacheck ung thx setting...
You're confusing the Sub's LPF and LFE LPF.

yung sakin kasi bro sa denon dati via my sts floorstander pwede.
fronts: 60hz
center: 80hz
surrounds 100hz
tapos LFE 120hz
sa onkyo 80hz lang lowest, i can do 90hz pataas sa LFE pero 80hz is the lowest. :(

LFE LPF should not be set very low or you lose critical LFE information. It is not the same as the bass redirection frequency. The sub's LPF is also separate from these two.

You shouldn't worry too much, really. Your current layout isn't bad.

thanks master, padagdagan ko nalang wall yung right speakers hehehe
btw bro tried to toe in earlier, got a bit better. i guess ill have to choose between OK for movies lang or OK for music. di pala pwede dalawa. :(
thanks again sa mga advice :)
-
very happy with the 818...
-
Tsip, diba kabibili mo lang ng 809 like 12 months ago from Anya nga ba? What's the difference, if any?
Thanks!
very happy with the 818...
-
hehehe... mas masaya lang ako kay 818... both models are great... i thought i'll regret my move out of the Yamaha camp... so far it's been a very good ride...
I am using the 818 in the main HT with the Mission + Velo and then the 809 looks to be staying in the master's bedroom with the Bose ACS10 Series IV jewel speakers and the Yamaha receiver goes to the condo with another set of Bose ACS10 Series III standard cube speakers.
I am currently obsessed on thinking to upgrade my 3KVA Yaden (i think) auto-voltage regulator to a bigger capacity one since most of my gears are 110VAC now in the main HT area. What auto-voltage regulator are you using in your Pasig place ba?
-
question mga master regarding zone 2 ng onkyo 608 since 7.2 channel sya?
gagana ba ang sub pag naka zone 2?.
ex.
Mains - 5.1 channel sa movies + dual sub+1 pilyoamp connected to 1st sub preout.
Zone 2 - 2 channel + dual sub + pilyoamp connected to 2nd sub preout?
bali 2 passive sub gagamitin ko for each pilyo amp?
salamat mga sir..

Solved my HDMI handshake issue by upgrading to the latest Catalyst driver ;D Simple solution lang pala hehehe

btw thanks sa mga reply kahapon .. Got the 807 instead :)
Musta performance ng 807 sir? Para gusto ko din yan or 875 kaya para brusko. Hehe

Almost identical sa 805 sound nya. Very very close. Very powerful amp. :)
-
hehehe busog naman sila bro, kaso maya't maya napapaisip ako ng power amp para ma-empacho! :D
anong power amp balak mo bro? may narinig kasi ako na di daw masyado dinig ang improvement ng power amp over the stock receiver amp. pero pag high ticket power amp, dyan na siguro magkatalo

Sir Weng, you are correct. There are external power amps na for me, hype lang. Mas gusto ko pa yung mga lumang 5 channel power amp. Mas dynamic and lively ang tunog coming out of your speakers. having an external power amp is of course more desirable than purely receiver lang. Gear matching still applies of course:)
-
bro san location mo? :D
Sorsogon city sir. :)
You can never go wrong with the SQ of 875...I am very impressed..
Will compare it with sir Mark's (metropharm)709 this coming week.
-
hahaha layo pala bro akala ko pwede ko dalhin receiver ko to compare ;D
-
You can try the 875 ni sir Obsi. I am just not sure if laguna ata location nya. No need to use a power amp with 875. Grabe output sa b&w 684 and monitor audio bronze br6....I think 160wpc sya at 8ohms. Clarity, power, plus the looks...built like a tank. No 3d capability but I am not yet into 3d so it's fine with me. If you are familiar with the 805 sound this is slightly better. I don't see myself buying a new avr in the next 3 years Siguro. I love this amp.
-
Be sure to have an exhaust fan on top. It runs really hot without one.

im currently using onkyo 807, is it a real upgrade if i go with the 875? one thing i noticed was the weight, 875 is 5kg (over 10lbs.) heavier. the thx ultra (875) vs thx select 2 (807) and the main reason why im considering the 875 is the multeq xt. :)

875 for me. :)

hehehe ako din 875
i consider 805 and 875 my favorite onkyo receiver
thx ultra 2 + multi eq xt
-
I agree brader. Both are built like a tank.. :)
-
Get one while supply lasts ika nga hehehe
-
hahaha... pero for that price pwede na makabili ng 809 receiver
depende sa needs ni jammy
medyo may edad na din ung receiver na 805 and 875 - risk na din
pero nga built like tank
common issue lang sa katagalan e hdmi

Good ventilation Lang. Best Yung me exhaust fan, these units will last longer than you'd think. Almost 4 years old pa Lang sila since nirelease, I could use them for the next 4 to 5 years pa siguro. My 875 is almost brand new when I got it. Pati Amoy super brand new, I don't see an upgrade in the near future brader. Hehehe
If the unit having good ventilation di daw basta basta bumibigay HDMI. :)

Yup lage ako may exhaust before and after usage tagal ko na type ung 805 nakadale din last year pagnakaipon na ako saka ako upgrade with 3d capability but will not sell my 805 hihi

I've used Onkyo 506, 805 and 5009.
I can say that the previous models like the 805 really heats a lot.
But the newer models like the 5009 heats up but not as hot as the 805...
Never used my external exhaust with the 5009... ;)

508 un sis hindi 506
sa kapapalit palit mo nga gamit hindi mo na alam - pero ok lang naman magpalit ng palit basta may pambili , mahirap ung pinipilit magpalit pero walang pampalit - katulad ko huhuhuhuhu
08 series and 05 series was really hot kapag walang exhaust fan tapos hindi pa ako naka aircon haha
...havent tried 07 series
pero i admit 5009 series was not like the previous model

Nyak, 508 pala yun.
Yan kasi yung very first AVR ko eh ;D
Hindi ka naman nagpupumilit sis. Ok lang yan basta swak sa budget at hindi naaapektuhan ang pamilya.
Kaya go ka lang, hehehe...
Tama ka na for keeps yang Onkyo 805.
Tangke internals nyan!
Saka for me hindi ganun kalayo tunog nyan sa 875, halos wala ngang difference eh...
Nakarinig na din kasi ako ng 875 before.

mukhang mapapaipon na nga lang ako bro :)
maliit naman talaga ang room ko, if ever gamitin ko nalang itong 807 ng mga 2 - 3 years :)
btw mga bro, may known issues ba ang 807, like the hdmi cutting out?

hindi bro just enough for onkyo and possibly higher end denon. apparently underpowered lang ito when i was using the 1912 denon :)
-
yup for sure..pagunderpowered minsan tumatalas hehe..
parang type ko din ung m series hehehe...
ayaw mo pa kasi iparinig ung setup mo baka makulam ako ng svs espekers hehe...
so far ganda ng aud ng onkyo - lalo na sa mga madadaming sub hihihi - pati denon din hehe...

4-ohms nga lang ang M-series pero malamang yakang yaka yan ni 805 ;)

I bought an Onkyo NR515 from amazon and had it shipped here last year, been having bproblems with the USB post on both the front and the back. When I plug in my iPhone, or a wireless N router nothing happens. Just the prompt "now initializing" scrolls through the front window forever. Anyone experienced this? Not sure if a frimware update would fix this, and since this is a US unit, not sire if the local distributor wil honor a warranty.
Any ideas?
-
bro warranty of US items not honored by the local distributor.

Or bad design... ;D

For SS designs utilizing BJTs, there are performance advantages to running them hot. Downsides are reduced component life and a greater risk of instability.

kaso saka na....masaya na ako a rti a paired with onkyo 805
--------------------
i'm not gonna argue but
the 805 and 875 series was onkyo's best receiver created few years ago..
with the price and the power and take note THX ULTRA 2
power rating - walang daya
tested
hindi ako love your own - i've ask few members and read reviews as well
i was considering to get 708 before, before buying the pio 1021
i ask nogie if i can recall - he stated that 805 was really a great receiver compare to the newer models
sabi nya - malayo ang performance ng 805 sa 608 or 708 - hindi ko na matandaan e
ung 875 advantage more power output and can upscale 1080
ung mga sumunod na receiver medyo tinipid na nga e....805 and 875 was japan made
type mo lang onkyo 805 daming gumamit nyan halos daan daan ung pages sa avsf
sa class A amp nga mainit - pero maganda performance
may disadvantage lang but it doesnt mean na BAD design - it was design that way
unless Onkyo Hater hihihihi
peace everyone...

had an extra time on my hand this afternoon and hook my brand spanking new onkyo 818 from the US. here are some pics together with my 220-volt onkyo 1007
818 front

818 rear
(http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a165/weng2x/DSCF0774_zps374d6b86.jpg)
818 weight = 39.6 lbs

1007 rear
(http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a165/weng2x/DSCF0773_zpsdf5f160b.jpg)
1007 weight = 51.2 lbs

(http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a165/weng2x/DSCF0772_zps598d704e.jpg)
in paper, the 818 and 1007 produce the same power at 135 wpc but the 1007 has bigger power supply, hence heavier than the 818. the reason could be that 1007 is a 9.2 ch receiver while the 818 is only 7.2 ch.
-
pogi ng 818 ...ganda pa ng sub eq nyan xt32 hihihi

Congrats bro Weng!

mga 818 users,

Hi sirs,
I have an Onkyo 606. I'm having problems with the HDMI connections. When I researched about it, I found out from various forums that this model has faulty HDMI boards installed. There's even a tutorial on youtube about how to DIY the fix by replacing the capacitors. Right now, all my video sources are direct to TV and optical and coaxial connections to the receiver for DTS and DD. Sayang lang coz I can't have DTS-HD MA and Dolby True HD.
I just wanna ask if someone here is experiencing the same? Would anyone know how much it's gonna cost replace the HDMI board with a new one?
Thanks in advance.

sarap magupgrade sa 818 or 809 haha...
how i wish i can just vommit money

haha thanks mga sir sa mga suggestion per0 I finally decided to take it na rin for a reasonable price kya ndi ko rin nabitawan. :)
I'm using Yamaha Ns-45 floorstanding speaker and planning to take it to sir anthony para ma-tweak next time kapag may money na hehe. pahinga muna sa mga mata ni kumander.

Hi sirs,
I have an Onkyo 606. I'm having problems with the HDMI connections. When I researched about it, I found out from various forums that this model has faulty HDMI boards installed. There's even a tutorial on youtube about how to DIY the fix by replacing the capacitors. Right now, all my video sources are direct to TV and optical and coaxial connections to the receiver for DTS and DD. Sayang lang coz I can't have DTS-HD MA and Dolby True HD.
I just wanna ask if someone here is experiencing the same? Would anyone know how much it's gonna cost replace the HDMI board with a new one?
Thanks in advance.
Hi magalona,
Na solve na ba problem mo sa hdmi connections? I think mine has also a problem regarding HDMI ARC
kasi di ko mapalabas audio at video gamit yong ARC ng TV ko going to the onkyo AVR.
Does anyone of you guys out there experience this problem? baka may alam kayong solution para
magamit ko yong ARC feature both of my TV and AVR
TIA.......
-
Three dumb questions - just have to make sure.
1. Is your Onkyo's ARC "enabled" in the settings. ARC is "off" by default settings.
2. Does your TV have ARC-compliant HDMI port (usually only 1 HDMI port is specified for ARC) and have you made sure that your connection is via that specific HDMI port?
3. Are you using a proper ARC-compliant HDMI cable? (1.4)

Clondalkin,
Yes my TV and receiver is ARC capable (LG42LS5700 and onkyo 616)
ARC on TV is already "ON" and so with the receiver at Hardware settings under HDMI and i'm using
the HDMI 1.4 high speed hdmi pero wala pa ring audio and video.
Meron pa bang HDMI v1.4 na hindi capable sa ARC feature kasi ayon sa nabasa ko sa mga forum at sa HDMI.org, kailangan daw HDMI v1.4 na may ARC but then halos lahat ng mga store na may tindang HDMI v1.4 ay hindi nakaindicate yong "ARC capable" only high speed and ethernet capable. Sayang din kasi ang feature na eto kaysa mag connect pa ako ng optical cable, gusto ko kasi dumaan lahat sa receiver na
Any input will be much appreciated....thanks..

Bro, what error are you getting? I followed a youtube guide for my Samsung 55" LED to work with the 818 via ARC.

Hi Jackryan,
Bale wala akong makuhang audio and video while playing movies using the built in media player of LG TV pero i can access the monitor of LG dahil nakakapagset ako ng mga set-up/parameters ng onkyo receiver using the HDMI 1 ARC but then no audio from the receiver and no video from TV during playback, by the way i'm using HDMI v1.4 cable.
Any help will do much appreciated, i have also followed some instruction from you tube i think from " tampatec"?
-
Curious questions naman.
When you use the built-in media player of the LGTV, it actually uses the HDMI ARC Video Channel? I havent tried the built-in player of my HDTV so I dont know which TV Video Channel it uses. But then ang binabalik lang naman ng TV to the receiver is audio.
Is ARC working for regular TV broadcast or program?
Not all HDMI1.4 are created equal - I agree with that although in my understanding, bi-directional signal flow feature is standard in 1.4. Kaya nga meron nalilito why the AVR connection is HDMI ARC OUT while sa TV is HDMI ARC IN.

No, even TV broadcast has no audio in the receiver pero nakikita ko naman si receiver sa monitor ni TV.
Di ko lang talaga mapalabas yong video and audio during playback sa built in player nya thru the USB slot. Also same scenario pag ginamit ko yong media player ko na WD TV (unang labas pa) di pa sya yong live pero HDMI na rin sya at may optical na din - with audio when connected to receiver (wd hdmi) but no video and reverse when WD HDMI connected to TV, i got no audio
Siguro nga kailangan ko maghanap ng HDMI cable na v1.4 at may nakalagay na "with ARC capable"
-
That's strange. Audio is definitely not returning to your Receiver. Dapat lang na makita mo yung Receiver sa TV because that is the "normal" signal path.
Video output of the built-in player has nothing to do with ARC diba? Does your built-in player work well if nothing is connected to your TV, that is, just the USB stick and no external connections via HDMI?
Iba-iba rin ang problem mo with the WD.
Via AVR, no video kamo that means video is not getting passed-thru - hence AVR or HDMI issue (WD to AVR and/or AVR to TV).
Direct WD to TV connection via HDMI, no audio kamo. What? Is there a setting sa WD to turn on HDMI Audio? or, does your WD downmix its audio output properly to 2 channel stereo which is what your TV should be capable.

Here's the scenario again Sir,
nong wala pa akong receiver everything is fine, may audio and video kahit anong gamitin ko
WD HDMI to TV = ok, with vidie and audio
USB or Harddisk connected via USB of LG TV = ok, with video and audio
Here's the problem now that i'm using the receiver
WD >>>AVR>>>TV via hdmi = no video ( siguro nga di sya nagpass through which the receiver is capable also)
WD>>>TV>>>AVR = no audio
That is my problem, or am i missing some connections and set-up?
-
The 1st connection scheme is the preferred one (that is, use the AVR as the hub instead of the TV, and maintain only 1 HDMI connection to the TV as much as reasonably possible). Assuming that all your connections in/out of the Onkyo are correct, it's really ODD that video pass-through is not working. I can only speculate that it's either an Onkyo issue and/or HDMI cable problem. Got to isolate the problem by testing with other AVRs or other HDMI cables.
The 2nd connection should be feasible because with ARC, the TV should be able to return audio from all video channels of the TV back to the AVR. My only concern here is to make sure that your HDMI cables are correctly connected, that is, the one designated HDMI ARC port (IN) - usually HDMI 1- from the TV back to the specified HDMI ARC (OUT) port of the AVR, and then any other HDMI between the TV and the WDTV.
Things I would try
1. Disconnect all cable connections first and then reconnect one by one correctly (duh).
2. In order to prevent possible HDMI handshake issues, always turn on the AVR first, ALWAYS.
3. Try to play around with the internal speaker settings of the TV (either via the TV or through the AVR). Sometimes, you have to turn off the built-in TV speaker system to get ARC working.
4. Turn on all HDMI Links Features on the AVR and/or TV.
Best of luck!

Sometimes, you have to turn off the built-in TV speaker system to get ARC working. - ARC already ON and speaker has been toggle from analog to PCM as well as set to external speaker on TV still no handshake between TV and receiver
4. Turn on all HDMI Links Features on the AVR and/or TV. - I think i already done this on hardware setting, HDMI "ON" on the receiver( assigned to OUT HDMI) and ARC ON on LG TV and also assigned to HDMI 1 which has a label ARC
WD >>>AVR>>>TV via hdmi if this is the ideal connection saan ko bale kukunin yong video signal from receiver going to TV, sa monitor out ba ng receiver? o sa OUT HDMI pa rin ng receiver going to TV, my TV has no video input for coaxial or RCA jacks but has HDMI IN's
anymore help would be appreciated.....
-
HDMI (ARC) OUT of your Onkyo - the one that is designated as such in your manual. Iisa lang yon diba although your Onkyo has multiple HDMI IN (thus ideal as a hub ang Onkyo). That is also your correct path for ARC - take note it's HDMI OUT on the AVR and it's also ARC-compliant to be connected to HDMI ARC IN of your TV (I suppose HDMI 1).
You can actually control (on/off) the built-in speaker of your TV from the AVR. In my set-up, I didnt have to do anything on the TV side (Panny plasmas). All ARC settings were done via the Onkyo 1008 or the 809 receivers lang.

Confirm ko lang sa Onkyo AVR side mo
Under Set-Up/Hardware Settings/HDMI
HDMI RIHD is ON ne?
Tapos ARC is AUTO or ON
TV Out is Auto or ON
TV Control is ON
Power Control is ON
Is your Onkyo set this way? Sa 1008 and 809 ko of HDMI RIHD is OFF, kahit naka AUTO or ON ang ARC, no sound.
TV side - no settings whatsoevah - I simply connected to HDMI ARC IN and ARC works perfectly with the TV tuner itself, and the external cable tuner. Yun lang connected sa TV ko directly.

- TV side ko eh naka set din sa ARC HDMI 1 setting is "ON" also with external speaker
-
I think Ive run out of any new ideas, except to say that if your Onkyo can't do video pass-through and ARC, and the fact that pass-through and ARC are routed through the same HDMI ARC (MAIN) OUT of the AVR, that's my first suspect right now - I think.
Good luck!

Last question, do i have to configure the remote of the AVR to have the TV and AVR communicate through the "remote settings" kasi eto na lang di ko pa nagagalaw and ayon sa manual you can control devices here
Thanks anyway for the time and the inputs you have shared
-
No need I think. That's the gist of RIHD. With RIHD "ON", you already have basic control (the most common functions) of both the TV and AVR using the TV or AVR remote.
Best of luck. Up to this point, I thought ARC should be totally straightforward as long as the devices are connected properly via HDMI ARC - apparently not.

Makikisabat lang po baka sakaling makatulong kasi na encounter ko din tong arc issue with my pioneer avr and panasonic plasma,para gumana yung arc ang source/input na ginagamit ko sa avr is tv/sat that way pag gamit ko built in media player ng plasma yung audio is routed to the avr via hdmi2 port w/c is the arc enabled hdmi nung panny,pati regular tv viewing sa avr na din yung audio.

pa-OT mga big boss, saan makakabili ng 1500w na AVR? I have my Onkyo 567. Nagcanvass na ako sa ace hardware.. nagccost sya ng 3000+ php.
Any advice kng saan kayo mas nakabili ng mura at may quality na brand? I'm thinking sa pier kaso nagdadalawang isip ako bka masayang lang pera ko dun.

Would anyone know if the NR414's (or if there's any range of serial numbers) being sold online are safe from the HDMI and heat issues? They're around $199 in Amazon right now and my friend can bring it home with his luggage, so I don't need to worry about shipping. Problem is I came across this thread:
http://www.avsforum.com/t/1415258/the-official-onkyo-tx-nr414-515-616-problems-thread
If not I'll probably just go with the Denon 1513 for about $20 more, but no network features and it uses clip speaker terminals (well, at least it has identical discrete amp channels too).

Try RAON. And personally, I would avoid MALDOL, the quality of outlets is crap(well, maybe the older release are better). And the ones with power delay does not include the 100v outlets.

Bro issues with the HDMI we're fixed with firmware updates (at least fr the 515/616). Heat issue naman will not go away. All onkyo receivers run hot.

Alright bro, thanks! Didn't see that part in the thread; at the tail end of it there were still a lot of people complaining about the HDMI issue after having done the updates, but I suppose it might be heat-related given some of it happened much later.
Anyways I'm planning to have a shelf for the TV built into my entertainment room, so the receiver will be on the top shelf next to the LED TV and HTPC, and I wouldn't stay in that room without the A/C on so I suppose I should be safe.

would a Onkyo AVR be a good match to my Monitor Audio Bronze bookshelf speakers?
-
Patulong naman mga Guru. di ko lang alam kung may related post na ito at d rin ako sure kong dito ito dapat.
Set-up
Onkyo 1007
PCH-A400
kapag nag pplay ako BDMV or ISO even MKV file using the DD TRUEHD or DTS HD MA audio output, putol putol ang audio, using the HDMI from PCH to AVR. Pero kapag direct connection ko using HDMI from PCH to TV and use the Optical Cable para sa audio to Onkyo, ok ang audio nya. Pero sa Monitor o TV it says DTS HD or DD TRUE HD, pero sa Onkyo LED Display DTS lang nakalagay
Ibig sabihin ba nito may problema ang Onkyo sa DTS HD or DD TRUE HD audio?
Pa help naman kung papaano ko mapapalabas ang DTS HD or DD TRUE HD sa Onkyo w/out any issue sa audio.
TIA>

Sir the problem is with pch a400 especially with hd audio

Sir the problem is with pch a400 especially with hd audio

Pero sa audio setting sa PCH naka passthrough man lang sya?

Pa help din po... noob sa onkyo 313.
naka external HDD ako then connect sa usb ng TV, then yun audio out (ng TV) pina "in" ko sa TV/CD (Onkyo), then ang speaker nasa "A".
ang issue kapag naka "Mono" ako both channel meron, pero kapag "stereo" at kung ano pa, yun left lang merong signal.
pero kapag naka USB mode ako walang issue, napag lalaruan ko pa yun "Audio Adjust"...
pa help po kung papaano mag kakaroon ng both channel w/o using "mono" mode.

looks like di mo pa rin napagana ang ARC? i also have 616, sa akin naman nong try ko 6 months ago straight forward connection lang using hdmi 1.3 cable high speed with ethernet only at gumana naman. kaya lang pag naka-on ang ARC then nakikinig ako ng music at on ko ang TV, mag auto mute ang AVR at di pwede idisable pag naka on ang ARC (sablay yata sa firmware). since may spare optical cable naman ako, disable ko na lang ang ARC at ginamit yong optical out ng TV. question lang, naka TV/CD ba ang AVR mo pag ginagamit mo yong ARC?

Any answer mga master bakit ganun yun sa akin?
puro RCA palang gamit ko. kapag rekta nmn yun ibang source like:
- DVD player
- Wii
- iPod
- DigiBox
wala nmn issue both channel meron.
Pero kapag naka USB mode ako sa TV, then gagamitin ko yun "Audio out" ng TV going to TV/CD or Cable/Sat ng AVR puro left channel lang gumagana using Stereo, Direct at D-T, pero kapag Mono ayun both channel.
Pa help po sa setup ko.

masyado na malayo yung generation nila so im sure malaki improvement ng 616 vs. the older 606 and yung rating nila malaki rin difference (though im skeptical about 616 rated @ 115 watts *prolly @ 6 ohms? )
edit:
616 (http://www.us.onkyo.com/model.cfm?m=TX-NR616&class=Receiver&p=s)
606 (http://www.onkyousa.com/model.cfm?m=tx-sr606&class=Receiver&p=s)
looking @ the links from onkyo us site, 100 watts ang 616 and 90 watts ang 606 @ 8ohms
so atleast may improvment sa power rating :)

mga master, question ulit... I was considering to buy 1500watts of voltage regulator per0 naisip ko sobrang mahal kasi and I'm considering na lang to buy siguro 1000w of voltage regulator.
Okay lang ba yun? kasi I'll just use that voltage regulator sa Onkyo 576 at hindi ko naman isasaksak pa ang TV or ps3 sa transformer. 2.1 setup sa onkyo 576 with 1000w of transformer, Will that do? sorry OT ulit.

10 years ago, I bought my first AV receiver which is Marantz SR4300, an entry level receiver. I'm very happy with the Marantz because of it's very warm and divinely musical sound (paired with either mission, wharfedale, yamaha, mordaunt short).
I was really really happy.
Before I bought it, I auditioned all other locally available entry level receivers from NAD, Harman Kardon, Denon, Yamaha, Onkyo, Pioneer, etc. I liked the sound of Harman and Marantz; Harman was beefy and punchier, while Marantz remained simple and stunningly musical.
For 10 years I was very satisfied with Marantz, the 5.1 inputs for my SACD and 6ch pre-outs, 6.1 DTS-ES and DD-EX, etc, however, what I really need now is an AVR with HDMI inputs (and a component video inputs and a USB input feature) so I decided today to buy a new one. Apparently I dont have SARS ;) (2003-2004 era I think) for AVRs, but not for speakers, Subwoofers, and Display Panels :P so Marantz is still serving me for more than 10 years.
I hated Onkyo because when I was testing one of their entry level AVR, if Im not mistaken the SR501, it needs to be in its MAXIMUM volume settings for you to hear what you are listening. So if the encoding of the source you are watching/hearing is relatively low, then if you played it back in SR501, even in the maximum volume level, it may not be adequate. For reference my listening settings/preference for the Marantz is -16db and maximum of -12db, and it can even go VERY LOUD up to +18db. The Onkyo "low volume" issue, was also experienced by a several fellow PinoyDVD members (my PDVD batch-mates back then). So from there, I shy away from any Onkyo AVRs.
That was in 2003.
Though I am already hearing that these was corrected in 2004/2005 and later models. I didn't care.
Today, I purchased a new entry level receiver (no audition was conducted) from Onkyo, the TX-SR313, I decided to buy it because of the following main features (aside from HDMI): component video in (for my SACD and DVD-A players, and the build-in USB port and of course, for a very cheap price of Php 12K. Wow!
Pioneer 522 (11K) and Denon 1713 (18K) were also consdered but the two AVRs do not have component video in and the Denon is expensive without the component video. I may have a little use with the network capability of Denon but not my priority.
So there, I bought the Onkyo, I hope this will give at least satisfaction, otherwise you will see this in the MarketPlace section soon, though I hope it will not happen hahahhaha. If I am satisfied, then I need to say bye bye to the Marantz Diva.
Cheers!

@Philander
bro coming from marantz, you should have gone with the Denon as their sonic signature is the same.
good luck with the blind purchase bro ;D

I know and I'm completely agreeing with you (same company and same sonic sound). Apparently the model I need (Denon 1913) was way out of my budget for an AVR. Maybe next upgrade... hahahhha, the friendly MP is always there...
Nothing much I can do for now but surely I will post my preference/review whether good or bad.

What speaker will you pair with 313?

sorry for rubbing it, but 1713 @ that price is really a bang for your buck. (last na ito bro promise ;D)
but if youre using wharf or mission, for me safe bet is onkyo :)

No component video in :P (wag na mambuyo, nandyan na eh, hahhaha). At nandyan din si MarketPlace.
So either this will be another lesson-learned, or a great surprise :)

finally got set-up my onkyo 609 and i have a few questions...please help!
im using the following gears
fronts: polk audio tsi200
center: polk audio cs 10
rear: polk audio - old speakers
sub: polk audio dsw pro 500
when i used the quick audessy set-up the frequency cut-off were all set tp 40hz
tama ba yun? what should be the cut-off i should use? and wala yung small/large speakers setting?
thanks

70 to 80hz all speaker lfe|sub 80hz try it

set all your speakers to 80 hz then set the sub to 120hz. your speakers and sub will produce sound together from 80 to 120 hz and blend with each other.

Which is better for movies, onkyo 606 or marantz 5007? Im looking for more full body and aggresive sound
-
looks like di mo pa rin napagana ang ARC? i also have 616, sa akin naman nong try ko 6 months ago straight forward connection lang using hdmi 1.3 cable high speed with ethernet only at gumana naman. kaya lang pag naka-on ang ARC then nakikinig ako ng music at on ko ang TV, mag auto mute ang AVR at di pwede idisable pag naka on ang ARC (sablay yata sa firmware). since may spare optical cable naman ako, disable ko na lang ang ARC at ginamit yong optical out ng TV. question lang, naka TV/CD ba ang AVR mo pag ginagamit mo yong ARC?
Yes, pag gamit ang ARC nasa TV / CD yong setting sa receiver.
So yong sa iyo na receiver hindi mo nagagamit yong ARC feature nya kaya nag optical ka na lang
pero i think mas maganda yata pag HDMI, by the way anong gamit mong speaker
-

what is your speaker? hihihi
-
Pero automatic switching yon. Kahit anong setting ng receiver, if you are using ARC properly, my Onkyo auto switches the source indication to TV/CD. My default source sa HDMI ARC is "renamed" BD + NMT BTW.
Yes, pag gamit ang ARC nasa TV / CD yong setting sa receiver.

what is your speaker? hihihi

if the result is 60 hz and above for the speaker level calibrations, Audyssey recommend to keep the results but this is dependent off course sa frequency response ng speakers mo. As recommended by Audyssey, all speaker xover are set to 80hz while the LPF of the LFE is set at 120 hz. There is no xover setting for the subwoofer in the receiver, its called Low Pass Filter of the LFE and not xover.

get the onkyo as they match very well with mission speakers :)
but for me the marantz 5007 is superior than the onkyo 606 ;)

DISAPPOINTING to a large extent
Im trying to love the unit that Ive purchased pero wala talaga.
First, using push/pin type speaker terminals, hindi kasya mga gauge #16 to #12 speaker wires ko, so i need to flatten it using pliers at maisuksok lng yung maliit na part.
To give overview and before I gave detailed review at a later time as Im still trying to find the best settings... baka magkaroon ng improvement (sana)
Music Quality
Walang dynamics, walang warmth and soul... as in day and night ang difference sa sound ng Marantz, I know the sound of Marantz for 10 years so Im very familiar how it perform for every test music I tried (usually from jheena lodwick, Patricia Barber and that Best of AudioPhile Female voices CDs). The Onkyo sound is just full body and punch and that's it, walang reverberation (which is Marantz Signature). Kung baga sa singing contest, walang emotion at details.
Separation of instruments can be barely heard in Onkyo, halos walang details. Sa Marantz, feel mo yung emotion nung singer, para kang niyayakap.
Parang ganun na yung tunog nya? Hello Onkyo, sana sa entry level lang ganyan ang quality ng sound nyo.
You really need to pump the volume to hear the colors, pero it will be too loud...
And Im missing direct mode (sub off) in Marantz, wala bang ganung option sa Onkyo? Kasi direct mode nila nakaengage pa rin sub.
Movie Sound Quality
I thought this was Onkyo's strongest spot, expected to have a full body sound.. okay okay... Pero wala pa ring dynamics. If you are a person who loves bass and shake, then this is yours, but do not expect to be amazed at it lacks details and dynamics, hindi engaging.
I may keep this for the moment due to convenience at para masanay rin ako sa sound nya, baka may ibubuga pa (or masyado lang akong obsessed sa Marantz sound).
Actually I did not expect much, as they are both entry level receiver; it's so disappointing that the manufacturer added all the features you need but left the sound quality big time.
No more Onkyo products for me :) I was right all along since 10 years ago :)

Kinda weird that gauge 16 does not fit, most users pa naman uses that gauge. maybe this unit was meant for htib type speakers.

i think this is common with entry level receivers, pero sa onkyo 508 ko before playing loud ends up with little distortion.

how about pure audio option, meron ba? pero dapat sa direct wala na nga sub.

Sir, may I know why you think the marantz is better than onkyo?
-

Thanks.
I purchased it kay Ondoy (his units I think galing sa ibang bansa) not from a dealer, I have no intention to return it to him just because Im not satisfied.
Like I said, I may keep this for the meantime. Ipon na lang ulit ako para sa Marantz or Denon.
-
Sir, may I know why you think the marantz is better than onkyo?
with the 2 models you mentioned, marantz had the upper hand.
better room correction and the ACTUAL rated power/watts per channel :)
read Philanders post nalang just to get an idea, onkyo 606 in todays standard is just an entry/starter level receiver.

I have 313, kasya nmn yun 12awg. if magamit mo yun 12awg bk magkaroon ng pagbabago.
-
Really? My 12awg is Transparent brand. I will double check baka nga #10 ang gamit ko.
-
thats why i always suggest to buy second hand, mid to high level rather than buying BNEW entry level...
you wont expect much for entry level receiver...
it wont feed you speakers well...

I may agree on this, however my Marantz entry level can drive my speakers well without distortion. The .08 THD (Marantz) vs 1% THD (Onkyo 313) might have an effect on real application.

I also have a entry level na integrated Amp Rotel, and I say sobrang layo nila sa Music, pero sa Movie may mga ibang sounds na kaya ibigay ni 313 na hindi kaya ni Rotel.
Like yun LotR DVD extended ver. yun mga musical background wala sa rotel pero sa 313 meron.
Same din tayo ng 12awg yun transparent na parang orange... try mo baka sakali lumaki yun tunog...

Nope. Made by Transparent brand (http://www.transparentcable.com/ (http://hometheaterreview.com/images_audio_video_brands/Transparent_Audio_brand_page_logo.gif) ) yung sa akin, not transparent yung wire housing.
Its really a thick cable.

its really hard to compare entry level before and the current entry level that we have this days..
now a days - cost cutting sa parts ang mga manufacturer...
power rating now e may daya na rin....like what you have stated above...
the only advantage of your onkyo to your marantz is HDMI and hd audio ....
feeling ko mas maganda pa ung kabitan ng speaker cable ng marantz mo kay onkyo...
kaya tinanong ko din kung anung gamit mong speakers...hihihihi....baka hindi ka masatisfy sa binili mo....
-
Sir the problem is with pch a400 especially with hd audio
Katatapos ko lang mag experimento sa set-up ko.
whenever i turn on the video upscaling of Onkyo 1007 & play on my pch-a400 a movie w/ DTS HD or TRUE HD audio napuputol putol ang sound nya. Pero kapag passtrough lang ang video sa onkyo, ok ang sound nya.
It seems na d kaya ng onkyo na pag sabayin ang video upscaling at DTS HD or TRUE HD audio proccessing.
Pero to confirm these analysis i will try to use my yamaha rx v371 kung tama nga analysis.

ah ok... yun akin normal lang na transparent, pero 12awg yun, as per "naka sulat sa housing ng wire".
ok nb? nagkasya na yun 12awg mo sa 313? try mo twist ng maigi then yun paglagay mo sa slots eh pa-twist din para pasok lahat ng threads...

di ba minsan napuputol unti unti yung strands ng speaker wire, di kaya mag short pag pinilit pihitin para lumiit?
btw kung gusto mo talaga malaking gauge ng speakerwire gamitin, pwede naman itong IXOS OEM type 216 gold plated speaker pins (http://www.pinoydvd.com/index.php/topic,122251.0.html) from Narayan

Yup minsan napuputol yun thread kapag sobra na sa twist, medyo nasanay na ako sa twist eh kaya less yun breakdown ng threads, if may maputol, ingat ako nadapat walang matira na thread loob or ibang threads na naka labas at nakadikit sa chassis. by the way ok yang speaker pins mo, less hassle...

mga sirs, my current speakers are all rated 8ohms (polk). when i set up the speaker impedance sa 818 it allows me two choices lang. 4 or 6ohms. manual says if im using 8ohms speakers to set it at 6ohms. now pwede kaya kabitin ko ng rear surrounds na 75w 6ohms speakers from an old htib? masisira kaya amp ko if two diff kind of impedance ginagamit at the same time?
-
ok lang bro basta hangang 6 ohms lang and low wattage. kaya ng 818 yan.
-
thanks brader. if ever di kaya may protection circuit ba ang 818 that will warn or shut down the unit?
-
I dont think it does. I'm using mixed loads din with my 5008 :) LCR 6 ohms, surrounds 8 ohms.

Patulong naman po mga Gurus. I have this Onkyo 1007 w/ goes on protect mode at high volume starting at -8db. at first i thought it was just my voltage regulator, but when i connected it directly to the wall outlet, ganon pa din na protect mode pa rin.
Settings i've done w/ the AVR.
Auto audessy calibration
SPL calibration at 75db for fronts, center, surrounds & 80db for the 2 subwoofers
Ano po kaya problema dito? Sana matulongan nyo ako. Thank in advance.

Dati na po. Ngayon nag play ako ng audio lang ok naman sya at 0dB. D man na protect mode.i tried use my SPL meter kako baka mahina lang source ko, pero napalo sya sa 100dB. Bali ang set-up ko is 6.2 single rear surround lang po. As per instruction sa left back surruond channel ko sya ikinabit.
Naka All Ch Stereo ang mode nya. D man na protect mode.
Ang gamit ko palang speakers ay front=MS carnival 6, center= polk audio csi a6, side surruond= MS carnival 3, rear surround= MS carnival 5.

Most likely hirap yung receiver mo to power all your speakers kaya nagpo-protect siya during loud passages. Kapag music kasi it's only 2 channel stereo kaya kahit na malakas yung volume kaya pa din ng receiver. Have you tried switching the speaker settings of your Onkyo receiver to 4ohms? Because your MS speakers' impedance dip to 4ohms according to specs.
-
^_Korak si brader hirap si AVR na i-handle yung mga speaker mo kung 4 ohms si speaker...check mo nga settings ng speaker sa AVR kung naka 4 ohms....TIA!

818 users, what's your usual volume level? With my old 606, I dont usually exceed 50 but with the 818 I sometimes have to crank the volume as high as 70, is that normal?
I know that the 818 is way powerful than the 606 but with mine, it doesnt appear to be.

Does your 818 come with stickers in front, like the features and specs? Mine doesnt have any and Im concerned that it's not bnew and might be refurb. Can someone validate, thanks!
-
Maybe why I like the old oinks, nearer to advertised specs. For example here are apples to apples tests from the same mag. Close to bottom line 606 vs close to top line 5008. The all 5 channel and 7 channel output seems to be a wash ;^)

question lang sa mga Onkyo AVR, same din ba sa inyo na super hot sya? kasi may Rotel and HK din ako pero hindi nmn ganun ka hot kapag ginagamit, pero yun Onkyo grabe sa init kaya nilalagyan ko pa ng Fan.
Onkyos are OVEN ;D
-
Onkyos are OVEN ;D
I'm using 313 yes hot sya. Mas hotter yung Marantz ko dati literally and figuratively. Onkyo is hot but no substance. Bleh!

not all Onkyos are oven, as not all other brands are good sounding

Hi! I'm in the process of getting an Onkyo 616 and I just want to check if the sound difference from a Pioneer VSX 921 is significant and also if it gets very hot as well. I'm using Polk Audio speakers:
TSi300
CS10
PSW110
TSi100
Wharfedale WH2 surround
Thanks in advance for any notification.

can i use a power amp for Front Left and Right preouts? then surround back left and right preouts for bi-amp using a power amp as well?
it would go like this:
Front Left and Right preouts > power amp > Front speaker (low)
Surround Back Left and right preouts > power amp > Front speakers (high)
Front Wides Left and Right from 807 > front wide speakers
or should it be:
Front Left and Right preouts > power amp > Front speaker (low)
Bi-Amp Left and Right from 807 > Front speakers (high)
Front Wides Left and Right from 807 > front wide speakers
reason im asking is if i were to purchase a power amp, i would like to know if i need to buy a 2 channel or 5 channel power amp.

mali yata yan bro. i doubt you'll get front signals from the surround back preouts even if you set to biamp. when set to biamp mode the processor will divert any surround back signals (from full 7.1 encoded source) to the surrounds and feed the 807's internal surround back amplifier section with signals from the fronts.
if you plan to get a 5 channel amp, my suggestion is to use rca splitters for the 807 front preouts then use the power amp front and surround channels to biamp the front, then 807 center preout to HK center to drive the center speaker.
807 front preouts -> RCA splitters -> power amp fronts -> front woofers
-> power amp surrounds -> front tweeters
807 center preout -> power amp center -> center speaker
807 surround speaker outs -> surround speakers
807 front wide speaker outs -> front wide speakers
807 surround back speaker outs -> cmiiw, wala na dahil 807 can only handle 7 channels. so you have 2 fronts, 1 center, 2 surrounds and the remaining 2 channels are either zone 2, front wides, front heights or surround back. and audyssey discussions always recommend wides before heights.

Guys need your suggestions/comments etc..
Currently have an 805 w/ the ff speakers sansui fronts, b&w center, wharfs surrounds, paradigm sub ;D ;D ;D
Planning to get some items in the marketplace but cant decide weather to...
a. Get new front (b&w 685, polk audio)
b. int amp (denon, rotel)
c. power amp (rotel)..
TIA!

Get matching front and center speakers first. :)
The Onkyo 805's internal amp is quite powerful already. But adding a separate power amp in the future may still help.

ganda ng pairing ng 805 and rti a series
you may try bw as well
since you have bw center get a bw front for timbre match

I find my Onkyo 818 too bright sounding, my old 606 doesnt sound like that in fact it's a little warm to my taste. So I wonder if Onkyo has changed their sound signature recently, it's still full bodied but on the bright side.
Any ideas how I can tame the brightness? I set the treble to -10 but I dont think it changed (I think it doesnt work when Audessey is turned ON). I'm using ecosse 2.3 speaker cables.
Thanks!
-
Any update with the latest models of onkyo? ;)

What speakers are you using? Is it angled towards the sweet spot? Are the speaker grills on?
-
Old mission m7 series speakers. I wonder if the brightness is normal with the new onkyo's, because my old onkyo 606 doesnt sound bright.

Yes, I think the newer Onkyo receivers are on the bright/detailed side compared to the older models. I'm using Dynaudio speakers with Onkyo 809.
To tame brightness, try reducing the toe-in angle and put the speaker grills on. There's also a manual EQ which you can use.

Grills are on, l set the treble to -10 already but it doesnt seem to change, does the adjustments on treble and bass work with audessey enabled?
-
this was mentioned by Paul before that the 809 was on the bright to detailed...
as i found the 805 somewhat on the warm side...which paul agrees as well.
@busabos
your onkyo was wanting you to upgrade your speakers hehe just kidding....
you may need to have your room treated ...if setting on the receiver will not tame it

I'll get some absorbers soon. I still find the onkyo's sound full bodied at times but really bright to my taste. I'll try to play around with Audessey and will provide an update later.
-
I tried without Audessey and brightness was tamed, still bright but more manageable, however it' s less dynamic. Does it mean that I have to re run Audessey?

Just to make sure I understand Audessey correctly, If I turn Off Audessey and just leave Dynamic EQ ON and then copy the settings when Audessey is turned ON (distance, crossover, etc.), would the SQ be the same as if Audessey is turned ON or will be somehow different? Is there like a special adjustment being done in Audessey that cant be achieved by manual config?

wala kasi ako spl meter
gagawin ko....run aud then after that i just select manual
mas gusto ko ung tunog kesa sa may aud..
check mo lang kung anung mas gusto mo...

Parang gagawin mo i run mo aud and then after mag finish ang aud naka set na siya pero parang mag manual ka to add change the settings na niset ng aud with your preference? Tama ba ako?
-
after irun aud -
check ko kung tama ba nilagay
lets say
Right front -7
Left front - 7
center 7.5
left surr -2
right surr 7
itest tone ko ulit un...
magbase ako sa tenga ko ...kung tama i leave it as is kapag medyo hindi ko marinig ung surr i will add .5 db to 1db
tapos punta ako sa setting ng onkyo
may option dun
AUD
OFF
Manual
pinaglaruan ko
mas ok kapag pinili ko ung manual
pero wala akong babaguhin hehe..

Korek Sir, so parang run audessey then copy the settings, then turn off audessey and apply settings. Same output lang ba or may difference? I wonder of audessey does some thing on the back end that can't be done manually

Actually hindi mo naman siya icopy kasi kung ano ung naset na ng aud un na din un mareretain pag choose mo ng manua. Yung ginagawa kasi ni derick ganito run aud then kung ano man yung result he will den retest using test tone per speaker then pag di niya like yung output either add or less iya ng DB. Kasi pag lagay mo manual di naman niya iset sa 0 ung settings mag rremain ung settings ng aud the thing is you can add or less DB on the speaker settings. ;D ;D
-
What if you copy as is without adjusting any setting, will it sound the same?

it will work with the satellite speakers, but without modifications on the sub you cannot use it.
i suggest you get an active sub
-
^ he could use the subwoofer without modification, he just needs an RCA to 3.5mm cable like this:

Guys, ok naman ba TXNR515 kapag kinabitan mo ng RTi A7s?
I mean, kaya bang i-power kasi alam ko power-hungry ang A7s at a9s.
I'm not missing out ba?
Sale kasi for $399 which is roughly P16700 lang. Another option is TXNR616 which is $499 naman, with tax equals to almost P20900.
Which is a better deal? Thanks!

Mahihirapan sila idrive ang A7 lalo na ang A9 coz they're floorstanders...
Tutunog yan pero hindi full potential... Sayang lang yung speakers.
Try to get 717 or higher AVR.

for $499 (shipping from US to PH not included,) i'd go with the TX-NR709 (currently $499.77 brand new from OneCall via Amazon). it's got MultEQ XT + 7.1 pre-outs so you have to option of using external amplification if you wish to do so. it's a bit older (2011 model) but its features are still up to date. i don't recommend the 717 as it only as 2EQ
given that A7/A9 are what i would consider upper midrange speakers based on heirarchy, it makes sense that you pair them with an upper midrange receiver as well. an 809 or 818 would be great if you could stretch your budget
-
Bright ba talaga onkyo? I just got a bnew 818 and it seems bright compared to the older models with or without Audessey. May topak kaya amp ko or normal lang talaga bright, please help kaka frustrate lang

Ano po speakers nyo?
I used to have Onkyo 5009 and its not ear piercing bright when paired with Goldenear speakers...
-
Aaudio forgot the model, at first ear piercing but changed the jumper cables, .nabawsan onti but still relatively bright. Paano ba malalaman kung may topak or distorted na? Im worried baka hirap yun amp. My previous amp was onkyo din 605 I think di naman bright

Hindi ba yan sa calibration mo? You can manually tweak the speaker calibration. It might help.

I understand but given the limited budget that was allowed (before I get kicked out of the house) i can't settle for anything more expensive, else i'd not bought the A1s for surround and some pretty Sanus stands.
In the near future, i might just go big on the upgrade with a better receiver and an emotive XPA-3 for the A7s and my next center - A6.
I appreciate your suggestion bro :)

Thing is, im not in PH right now :P and Amazon Canada has fewer items than the US site so..
If i bought from the amazon us, i'd be charged with alot like shipping, duties and not to mention tax.
Best choice would be to shop here in CA or Canadian sites - but that would be in the near future plan.
Guys, as of now i'm pretty happy with the 515. It powers my A7s, A1 and measly Cs10 but for now its good enough for my needs.
I wish to play it above 50 vol but I knew better than that. Living in an apartment has so much limitations here compared there in the PH.
And should I mention I got a noise complaint email the other day? :D
-
Sir bright ba sya in anyway? alam ko yun golden ear warm talaga tumunog. anyway, paano ba malalaman kung hindi kaya ng amp yun speakers?
golden ear is on the bright sise because if of its ribbon tweeter...detailed ....old onkyos on the warm side with fuller sound...mataba ung tunog...newer onkyos are detailed..nuetral to bright...heard 5009 and golden ear and quite good to my taste

agree with bro derek ramsey here
busabos your bright might be neutral to us, it could also be a matching issue (ibig sabihin upgrade na ng speakers) :)

I need your expert advise mga sir. I know that medyo on the bright side yun new Onkyo receivers, pero for some reason I encountered some films na may destortion particularly pag mga loud scenes.
So I tried using a headphone (on the receiver) and wala naman, I tried with my old receiver wala din (Onkyo old model), then I used my htib and guess what, wala din, even using just the TV speakers wala. So I thought there's something wrong with the unit, maybe a lemon or something. Dinala ko sa service center, but since it's been more than a month na, hindi na replace immediately, so they tested muna. After a few days, they called me and they said that there's nothing wrong with it, everything is fine daw.
My concern now are the ff:
1. Possible ba na since medyo detailed yun bagong Onkyo nilalabas nya lahat even mga distortion? Pero bakit wala naman distortion pag iba ginamit (same movie file)
2. Should I request na check din yun mga internals (capacitor, transformers, etc.) ng amp?
3. Do you have any other suggestion to isolate the problem?
Thanks for sa help

What onkyo model and speakers?
-
^^Yung Yammy ko twice ko na encounter na nagdistort ang sound pag continuous play ng bass music. Kahit hinaan ko ang volume distorted pa rin. Hinawakan ko yung heat sink ng DIY sub amp ko sobrang init na pala kaya pinalamig ko muna. Pag play ko ulit, ok na naman ang tunog nung AVR. Nagbabago pala ang characteristic nung sub amp pag sobrang init na at hindi pala isolated yun input nya. Buti na lang di nasira yung AVR ko. So nilagyan ko ng cooling fan yung heat sink ng sub amp ko, di na sya nangyari ulit.
Di kaya ganun din ang case nung sayo sir? Baka may overheating components ka rin at that time.
-
Pag naka all channels to check kung saan meron distortion sa lahat ng speakers meron so di ko sure if sa media file lang or sa avr, pero as I said sa previous post when I tried on my htib, old onkyo receiver or tv speakers lang wala naman.

mga sir baka may solution kayo sa problem ng receiver ko.
model: HT-R391 (120v)
problem: having a hard time to power up after some hours of not using it.
example, last night ok sya, watched couple of movies, switched off after, in the morning ayaw na nya mag power up kung hindi ko iuunplug from outlet and reseat the plug. after hitting the power button on the unit it will take about 1-2mins before i hear the clicks inside the unit and it will turn on.
based on my wifes story on what caused the problem, tinatamaan daw ng nephew ko yung power source while she was watching, namamatay yung power. happened approx 4 times, she'll just turn it on again and resume everything then the last time it was hit by my nephew ayaw na daw mag on.
im still able to use it normally, added the powering up method that i have to do now everytime na ayaw nya mag on. is it time to bring it to the service center?

The 828 is whats bro Jammy is referring to. It has Audessey multi eq (not even xt). Brogger I still have the 818 on stock kaso black just in case you're interested. Or better yet go with the 3009. PM ma na lang if you're interested.

^ he could use the subwoofer without modification, he just needs an RCA to 3.5mm cable like this:
(http://www.bcmtouring.com/forum/attachments/rca-male-stereo-female-265203.jpg-380171d1367497649)
reciever subwoofer pre-out -> rca to 3.5mm (right channel/red plug) -> 3.5mm center/sub cable -> center/sub analog input on the z906
sir pano po ito? will it still decode the surround sound? z906 to onkyo 616?
-
sir pano po ito? will it still decode the surround sound? z906 to onkyo 616?
the onkyo receiver will do the job of decoding the audio stream from the source. this is what you do:
-connect the z906 satellites to the a/v receiver's speaker outs (these speakers will now be powered by the onkyo instead of the logitech's amp)
-connect the z906 subwoofer as described by my previous post (you will still use the z906 control pod as a pre-amp for the subwoofer to control subwoofer volume, switch the subwoofer on/off, etc.; the decoder on the z906 will no longer be used for processing as you will be utilizing analog audio input from a/v receiver's subwoofer pre-out)
note:
check if the satellite speakers from your z906 has nominal impedance of 6ohms or higher. if it's lower than 6ohms, it might not be safe to use with entry level/lower midrange model a/v receivers

^ thank you sir. I'll do more research about this.

kamalas naman bro.
Pero iirc hdmi board failure damay ang video diba?
baka may dikit na speaker wire dyan o kaya baka may nangatngat si doding daga :)
kahapon naman ako may katangahan lang, napindot pala nung sumandal ako ang video output (from hdmi/digital to analog output). Restart htpc pa ako tapos xbox ayaw din hehehe mga 5 minutes akong nalungkot ;D

Malamang sis kailangan irestore or update yung DSP files nya. Updating the DSPs require PC/laptop na may serial connection or pwede din USB-serial cable. I tried this before sa 805 ko kaya lang di kinaya ng utak ko, hehehe.
Or better yet dalhin mo na lang sa Toyama sis coz they have the tools there ifever kailangan irestore yung DSP or even the main firmware.
I found these websites baka makatulong...

http://www.avsforum.com/t/1431671/possible-diy-fix-for-onkyo-tx-nr3007-loss-of-audio-audio-problem-without-sending-the-unit-to-onkyo
I recently obtained a TX-NR3007 that i believe was having the same common loss of sound issue most folks are discussing on this thread: http://www.avsforum.com/t/1192172/the-onkyo-tx-nr3007-tx-nr5007-common-questions-issues-hints-answers-thread
Summary:
The receiver was exhibiting what i believe was this common problem. It was no longer under warrantee. I reflowed the two BGA chips on the hdmi board, and it now appears to be working.
Symptoms:
Lack of audio
Communication issues requesting firmware version from DSP controllers
Communication issues with using ethernet port
Communication issues with using USB port
Fix:
Reflow of BGA Chips
Assurance it doesn't happen again:
Insure proper cooling to unit (plenty of clearance around cooling intakes and outlets)
Possibly heatsink the two chips
Followup:
Interested in results from others willing to/interested in doing this.
Interested in folks willing to donate their broken receiver for me to diagnose/try to fix (I would pay shipping)
More details as they become available at http://www.c-j-l.net/Home/audio/onkyo_tx-nr3007
The Full Story:
The initial symptoms for this amplifier reported by the old owner was a lack of audio.
Upon further investigation I found that it could not communicate properly with the DSP units or ethernet; When requesting to see firmware version, it would only display '??????-?????' or similar (all question marks) for DSP1/ETH, DSP2, and DSP3. (To do this, with unit on press and hold display, press the standby button, and immediately use the < or > arrows next to the display button) This indicated to me that there is a communication issue on-board.
Futher troubleshooting showed that it would not pick up an IP address via network (under hardware setup, network did not even exit), and when a USB memory stick was inserted and source changed to USB, the stick was never queried (LED on stick never lit).
I decided this really seemed to be a communication issue.
Looking at the internals of the unit, the HDMI board which most service centers replace as a fix for the problem is the digital mainboard containing what seems to be most of the processing units. This would explain the 600+ dollar cost that has been reported if not under warrantee, i believe.
Two of the chips on the board were in BGA (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball_grid_array) form factor- which with poor cooling has been noted to cause problems in northbridge and video chipsets in laptops as well as the famous red halo of death in xbox 360s.
Using some suggestions and timing from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vR8L3B3eDr0 , I re-flowed the two chips on the board that were BGA.
The amplifier appears to be working properly now (can play music from USB, check for firmware upgrades on the network, i can see the firmware versions of all chips, etc), although i haven't done thorough diagnostics on it. I am waiting to get the remote from the original owner.
I will post more information and pictures as i have a chance to update them here:
http://www.c-j-l.net/Home/audio/onkyo_tx-nr3007
If your amplifier is exhibiting these types of symptoms and you'd like to donate it for me to try to fix and report results, i'd be happy to pay shipping slow-boat to where i live in Oregon. Please PM me.
[Edit/Addendum]
I re-flowed a second board and was a bit too hot on it. Melted the front HDMI cable input and the power inputs. If using the heat gun method, keep an eye on these plastics. Board still worked, which was good- but could not use front HDMI input.
If you don't have a heat gun, or want a way that is more regulated, you could try the method described here by oscarav098 in an oven:
http://www.avsforum.com/t/1192172/the-onkyo-tx-nr3007-tx-nr5007-common-questions-issues-hints-answers-thread/4620#post_22813395
(synopsis:
Procedure:
- Cover HDMI board with aluminum foil with the exception of the BGA chips. There are a total of two BGA chips on the HDMI board for the 3008 receiver. You can identify these chips by the lack of visible pins.
- Warm up oven to 300 degrees F and place hdmi board on cookie sheet and insert in oven. Bake at this temp for 2-3 min.
- Raise temp to 385 and bake at this temp for 8-9 min.
- Turn oven off and open door. Let board sit for 30 min. Do not touch.
- Remove from oven. Remove foil and re install.
- Enjoy you newly working receiver. )

You guys were right. This thing is so hot, you can fry eggs on it! Although may sticker naman na nakakabit sa amp indicating that it is normal for it to run at fairly hot temperatures. Im still getting a USB fan for my onkyo oven. On the flip side, music seems to sound better on this thing vs my old pio vsx 521k.

Problem solved by a 200 peso usb fan from cdr king connected to the amp's usb port. Now running as cool as the fonz. :)

Guys, encountered a problem yesterday with my 515.
I was watching Oblivion off a usb drive connected to my bluray player yesterday when I noticed that no sound was coming from the rear surround speakers. I quickly checked the details of the movie file and it says it has 5.1 channels DTS. Then I pressed the movie mode of the Onkyo but lo and behold! screen says not available??
I was puzzled why this is happening. I also noticed that the Audyssey light on the onkyo's screen is missing. I tested with other movie file, and even a bluray disk of DKR but still no sound from surrounds.
Then I turned on my apple TV and played music via AirPlay and I instantly heard the sound from the rears. This worried me even further.
I tried going into the Onkyo's setup but somehow the second option (speaker configuration) is grayed out and inaccesible. So I resorted to going online to find the answer but to no avail. I even unplugged and plugged back the two banana plugs of my rears connected to the Onkyo but still nothing changed.
I ended up resetting my AVR then going again through the painful process of setting it up ala just-opened-from-the-box. I ran the full Audyssey setup and have to withstand the loud spikes it produced while calibrating the speakers/room with the provided mic. (I hope my neighbor didn't complain as it was already 11:30PM)
I'm not running the latest FW (just the second to latest) as I don't see a reason to upgrade because the problems stated online needing FW upgrade isn't and haven't happend to mine so.
Anybody experienced this problem? It would be helpful if any member here could attest to my story.
In the meantime, i'm reading the 19+ pages of thread of Onkyo problems in AVS forum to be better informed if such incident will happen again.
-
Bro if it works fine on a regular blu with surrounds, chances are the problem is with the media
itself or the player could not play it properly.
Usual reason why an option is grayed out is because its not a 5/7.1

Things is, it doesn't work with the blu Dark Knight Rises either. Can't hear a sound thru the rear surrounds.
And its weird not having the Audyssey light ON on the Onkyo screen where it is usually lighted up everytime.

either audyssey is off via audio menu or dsp board problem.

did the 515 work fine again after the reset? if yes, observe if the problem persists, i suggest increasing the frequency of use to see if the issue will come back. if that doesn't fix it, try a firmware update.
if problem persists even after reset and firmware update, consider having it checked at the service center.
Tip:
to minimize potential inconvenience to neighbors during audyssey calibration, try (1) using thick and heavy curtains for the windows in the listening room and (2) closing all doors and windows in the listening room, and if possible, to all adjacent rooms as well.
you can use ear plugs as well to protect your ears from those calibration sounds (not having ear plugs, i use an IEM type earphone which i find to be quite effective)
i do my monthly system calibration at 2AM, the quietest time of the day at our place, and my neighbors have yet to complain. or maybe we just have nice, non-confrontational neighbors, i dunno :D

Yes, it did worked fine and normal after the reset and calibration. Haven't had any issues since.
Yeah, I'm gonna watch out for any other signs of the previous issue for sure.
As for the calibration sounds, i'm fine with it but my neighbors are really the kupal type, especially the one directly below us, as he's the one hearing the house shake when the base freq are produced.
I keep the room pretty sealed whenever I watch movies, and i'd say our curtains are fine. Maybe it's just that nobody can really defeat low freq sound except to overhaul the room and make it soundproof.

Guys, planning to replace my Onkyo 818 to the higher Onkyo 1010. Is this worth the switch?

You'll not get so much upgrade with the 1010 coming from 818. I suggest looking into 3010 instead... ;)
-

Almost same lang specs nila. Better go 3010 if you have the extra money. It will depend din what speakers you will use this for.
-

+1... thats the reason why didn't bring in the 1010. Not worth the extra cost because its pretty much an 818 with an additional 5wpc :)
If you're interested in the 3010 i can get you one that's relatively cheap.
-
Ah okay, thanks for the infos. But what features does 3010 has compared to 1010 or the 818 that makes it worth the price jump (mind you its a big price jump)? I also read somewhere that the new 828 is a downgrade from the 818. How bout the 929. Is it available here already?

How much is
Can you PM the details pls.
almost same lang rin ang 1010 sa 3010 except for the # of channels and power supply.
# of channels: 7.2 vs 9.2 (if you're planning a 9.1 or 9.2 system in the future, better go 3010)
3010 has independent power supply in the form of 4 transformers (a massive main transformer, additional transformers for audio and video processing, and separated pre-amp and power amp blocks)
You can see here the comparison of specs. Just click on the specific receivers and click compare:
http://us.onkyo.com/Products/prod_class.php?class=Receiver&source=globalnav (http://us.onkyo.com/Products/prod_class.php?class=Receiver&source=globalnav)
-
Pretty much the biggest difference would be the independent power supply. This should provide the 3010 with a cleaner sound and more consistent power.

pa help naman po,planoko po bumili ng txnr 525 or 515? ok po ba ipair ito sa rtia5 and rtia3? or tsi series po?tia
-
Hi sherwin,
I think the 515 could handle the small floor stander but I would recommend getting something with more power. However if you plan to use A3s lang the 515 would be enough.
-
good day,just need a help to decide. for now im using an entry level avr which im satisfied with its performance but time comes that my ears are really searching for more and as my first upgrade, is it worth to buy a pre-owned onkyo 806 assuming that it is in a good condition? im just worried to experience the HDMI issues and hope not. please advice. thanks

Exhaust fan lang katapat para out of trouble onkyo AVRs. :)

Amazon's "Deal of the Day" . . .
Onkyo TX-NR818 7.2-Channel Network A/V Receiver (Black)
US$ 649.00 only (approx. P29K)
definitely cheaper from local seller, but is it worth the risks ... shipping, warranty not honored locally, etc.
-
do not forget to add the sales tax + kabayan freight charge on the total cost.
for me it is still worth even without warranty. got mine from last year's black friday sale for 32k landed cost. mura kasi ang conversion ng dollar to peso before.
-
@Weng!
100% working pa unit nyo?
wala ba issues manifested?
nakakatakot kasi, mura nga mabibili yun unit, baka mahal naman ipa-repair dito
-
Bought mine also last year from amazon. My onkyo 818 is still ok. I ordered through Toy01. His brother tests the item before shipping to the Philippines.

of course, 110% working at wala naman problema. i have brought in 3 receivers so far and all are working good. you would not worry during shipping as they are placed in a manufacturer's approved shipping box. ganon din naman pag ship from the factory thru container parin by boat from china to the US. the best deal i got on last year's black friday sale was the Onkyo 809 for my bro which was only $509 before tax.

Whooaaahhh this is a great deal. :)
-
Whooaaahhh this is a great deal. :)
the price was just only for a day. ngayon bumalik na sa $799.
the 616 is a good deal at $319. add tax and shipping, it will get you around 18k landed. but check the local distributor first, maybe the difference is not that much especially when you take into account the warranty, step down transformer and the very long wait.

mga sirs, do you turn on ba the dynamic eq and dynamic volume setting on your onkyos? dynamic volume has light medium and heavy settings, ano diff nila? of the three parang the sq sounds fuller with the light setting...

I prefer turning off the dynamic volume and EQ. For me mas maganda yung SQ. I just stick the with audyssey settings after calibrating gain levels using a SPL meter

For me i prefer turning on the dynamic eq and putting the dynamic volume to light.

guys pa help about my tx-sr313 "check sp wire". all the troubleshoot done are:
cleaning from inside to outside using vacuum
reseting by pressing both vcr/dvr and power button
remove all speaker wires
waiting for one hour before turning on
kindly advise if you have others ways
thanks
-
^ inspect very closely, baka merong stray wire somewhere, not picked up by the vacuum cleaner, causing a short. also make sure that there's nothing wrong with the speakers that you're using.
if it still fails, bring it to a service center.

Hi, question on Onkyo TX NR626, I was looking for this AVR and about to purchase, I like this model since it has Wi-Fi Certified and built in Bluetooth. I will be using this mainly in the living room around 7x8 square meter.
However, it doesn't have AirPlay? How odd is that? Wireless but no AirPlay? Does this mean that I cannot stream music using iDevice via iTunes? Thanks for any feedback.
-
Yep bro afaik you'll need an airplay capable device. An apple TV or use an apple laptop connected to the AVR.
-
Yep bro afaik you'll need an airplay capable device. An apple TV or use an apple laptop connected to the AVR.
Yes I have a Mac mini, iPad mini, iPhones. So I think the bluetooth function is the only way,
-
since they've started integrating bluetooth connectivity into their products, perhaps they're pushing it over airplay as the preferred method when it comes to streaming music from mobile devices.
maybe they don't see much feasibility(licensing/implementation costs vs. customer perceived value) in giving it airplay capability due to apple's decline in market share. android users on the other hand have always enjoyed streaming music over wifi with the onkyo app.
but you're right, it is kinda odd (at the very least, for an apple user) that onkyo receivers never featured airplay, given that they are usually at the forefront when implementing new "buzzword" features on their products.
-
Yes, and the most interesting fact is that the TX NR626 has ethernet port. Anyways, the internet connectivity is mainly intended for in app music streaming.
My next question is, what brand there is in the market that offers Wifi and Airplay? i just don't feel the need of hooking up RJ 45 onto it, that offers the same value with NR626?
Any feedback would be appreciated.
-
these mainstream receivers below belong to the same price bracket as the 626 while featuring airplay:
Yamaha RX-V675
Pioneer VSX-1123-K
Denon AVR-X2000
Marantz NR1604
Harman Kardon AVR 1710
Sony STR-DN1040
from the above, only Sony has built-in wifi - the others require either a matching optional wifi dongle, or a wired connection to your router.

I guess Sony is not available locally. Been googling around and even the Sony center in trinoma doesn't have it. I guess i need to buy an Airport Express to utilize streaming.
Thanks again for the input. Or will find a way to run an RJ 45. Medyo mahaba nga lang.
-
Sirs,
Does anyone of you have tx-nr1010? What can you say about this receiver?
I still cant decide whether I'll take this one or a pioneer avr like the elite sc-72, elite sc75 or the
sc-1323k, sc-1523k which has class d3 amplifier. I've also read that onkyo's tend to get hotter than pioneers and had hdmi problems with their previous models. Am planning to plug in polk rti a7's or a9's.
Inputs and feedbacks would be greatly appreciated.
TIA
-
^ about reliability, onkyo receivers have been generally good and have been running cooler since the XX09 series. IME, older models did run pretty hot but as long as they're well ventilated they don't present any issues.
as to whether you should pick an onkyo or a pioneer, do an audition and let your ears decide (personal preference will come into play here.) best if you could go to a shop that sells onkyo, pioneer, and polk audio so that you can audition the exact gear combo that you're considering. be sure to compare the features that you might use (i.e. room correction, listening modes, video upscaling, etc.)

mga sir ok lang kaya lagi may naka plug sa usb slot ng receiver?
i have a 5volt usb-fan placed on the top panel of the AVR to serve as an exhaust fan, very helpful on cooling the unit down,
currently using a samsung charger plug to power the 5v usb-fan seperately from the avr
i want to use the power of the usb slot on the avr para everytime on ang avr, mag rurun din ang fan.
will it harm the avr in any way? :-\

I dont think so. Maliit lang naman power kailangan ng USB fan..
-
I have a usb fan setup in that exact way. No worries nor issues whatsoever. Fan turns off when the avr is on standby.
-
Be very wary of aging or hard-to-start fans, they present a low resistance and require much higher currents to start spinning. Connecting these to USB ports may damage the power supply. Note that the processor and other critical chips rely on a very stable 5 volt supply. Masaya service center pag yan nasira...
I'd rather take the "charger" option.
my 2¢...
-
thanks sa inputs mga sir.
another option is ripping the usb wires out again and connect nalang sa power supply ng HTPC, sabay naman sila lagi ni onkyo ginagamit eh
para hindi OT, kaka service lang ng unit ko, US unit, and its not cheap :(
-
ano sira at magkano inabot? not an onkyo, but denon quoted 11k to replace the main board of my friend's 1610. :o bumili na lang sya ng new receiver.
-
For me i prefer turning on the dynamic eq and putting the dynamic volume to light.
sakin i turn the dynamic volume to medium. pag light medyo bright pa din sa system ko. i just add +4 sa treble. ;)

hintayin mo muna ma plug sa 220v bago ipagawa. malamang baka mag survived pa ang receiver mo na 110v until magpalit ka ng bago, so iwas gastos ;D
kaya IMHO, don't fix if it ain't broken >:D

[Cross-posting on the Egreat NMTs thread]
I recently bought a brand new ONKYO HTIB (HT-S4505) and hooked up my Egreat R1-ii media player as video and audio source using HDMI cable. So ganito sya:
Egreat > HDMI OUT => HDMI cable => HDMI IN > Onkyo AVR
Onkyo AVR > HDMI OUT => HDMI cable => HDMI IN > LG plasma TV
I notice during playback of a movie file, the video and audio suddenly goes out for 1 second (minsan 2 or 3 seconds) tapos babalik uli. Sometimes, audio lang nawawala pero madalas video & audio. At first, I thought the problem was from the movie file kasi yung sudden blackout is from the same time (hh:mm:ss) which I confirm kapag nagre-rewind ako. Kaso, when I connect the Egreat directly to my TV via HDMI and then connect to Onkyo via optical... bale ganito:
Egreat > HDMI OUT => HDMI cable => HDMI IN > LG plasma TV
Egreat > OPTICAL OUT => optical cable => OPTICAL IN > Onkyo AVR
...wala naman problem yung playback. No sudden blackouts even in the same time (hh:mm:ss) in the same movie file.
I want to use the first connection setup sana (using HDMI all the way at wala nang optical cable) coz the Onkyo onscreen menus are only visible on the TV through HDMI... kaso the sudden blackouts are really annoying & parang nahihirapan pa yung AVR.
Is there some configuration that I need to set on the Onkyo AVR, Egreat, or maybe even the TV para maayos ito??
Hope you guys can help.... especially yung mga meron similar setup (i.e., Egreat NMT connected on Onkyo AVR)
Thanks in advance.
p.s. The Onkyo HTIB AVR model pala is HT-R558.

hi rodel,
not sure what the problem is but i think you can use an HDMI splitter.
egreat->hdmi splitter-> HDMI 1->TV

Hi sir elim.
Thanks for your suggestion. I might consider doing this but what I am actually after is having the Onkyo OSD (onscreen display) seen on the TV sana. I also think that audio output from the Egreat to the AVR would still have "hiccups" kasi nga via HDMI din.
Where can i buy the tx-sr313?
Sir you can buy this AVR from Sights and Sounds Shangri-la EDSA.

Have done some back reading and I think Im setting my sights on the wrong AVR.
From what I've read so far, Onkyo's are on the "bright side". If this is true, it will not be wise to pair it with a TSI300/CS20, tama po ba mga sir?

"Bright" is a subjective term. Onkyo's may be brighter than Denon but I'm sure they would sound good with those Polk Audio speakers that you mentioned. I'm using Onkyo matched with Klipsch speakers and I'm very happy with the combination.

Sir, do you mean wall electrical (AC) outlet?
Parehas kasi nakasaksak yung TV and Onkyo sa isang Samwon AVR... pero different outlets within the AVR.
OK na ba yon, or dapat talaga hiwalay as in, ibang wall outlet for the TV/onkyo?

Try mo isaksak sa avr yung plasma sir then sa ibang outlet din yung onkyo.
Sakin kasi 2 gang outlet ko na dedicated para sa "entertainment system" dati isang part lang mg outlet na ginamitan ko ng extension nakakabit lahat tapos nandun yung problem, then nung bumili ako ng extension para sa onkyo lang then sinaksak ko sya sa isang part nung 2gang outlet ko, nawala yung problem.

IIRC you can only do 1 at a time. either width or height lang. I strongly recommend using width :)

Haven't tried it but I think it the trigger for PJ screen or power amp. It can also be used to trigger any device na may trigger input na 12v.

I tried this sa 3008 for my emotiva xpa-3, trigger siya for zone 2 amp. Pwedeng gawing pang power on ng power amp using learning remote.

Try the wharfedale diamond 100 series, maganda tunog and good cosmetics.

sorry master konsi mali yung post ko, dapat pala tanong ko, paano ito gamitin sa onkyo 807. :)
meron daw pero di ko mahanap sa sa likod yung 12v trigger.
yun pala maling side receiver tinitingnan ko dapat pala sa right side ;D
may nakalagay kasi na 12v ---- 0.5A sa left side at yun ang una kong nakita, kaya hanap ako ng hanap sa left side ;D

sa 807 may trigger for zone 2 and 3 so pwede yan dual sub tapos gawa ka lang ng power on sa learning remote using zone 2 power on for sub 1 tapos zone 3 power on for sub 2. Di ko na alam kapag may sub 3 ::)

Yun ang di ko naitanong.normally,1yr.warranty dito.but may.extension for an.additional fee,say 2-3yrs. Re brand new old stock, clarify ko sa kakilala ko.
I'll wait till march comes and update ko kayo ulet.

Had anybody encountered problems with Onkyo AVR especially model year 2011 & 2012. My brother's TXNR-709 did not last quite long until problems had arise. The problem occurred while the unit was still under warranty. The sound just went off. They just reset the unit to factory default and updated the firmware and the sound was back. But lately, December last year problem occurred again and this time resetting did not work. Having it repaired is not a guarantee that it would be restored to its original condition. The terms of repair is not agreeable- labor 30 days warranty, parts 90 days. In some forums, this is the common AVR problem of these year models.

Will my onkyo 809 be enough to power a pair of rti a9 as front speakers for a 7.1 setup....thanks guys

Another thing is di ko mahanap yong setting ng DTS HD MA sa receiver though capable naman receiver as per specs. Thanks in advance for any help na maibibigay.....

Yung WDTV mo baka ang may problema sa AUDIO Format ng DTS HD MA na-try mo na po ba i-update yung firmware nyang WDTV mo if merong update o baka di support ng WDTV mo yung DTS HD MA Audio format ng movie?... :)

hindi sya automatic brader(setting na source)
sa receiver matic

the only thing you need to do is set the audio of WDTV to RAW
receiver will decode the DTSHDMA
mamaya kasi ung wdtv ang pinagdedecode mo ng audio hindi talaga gagana yan...
HTH

bro Derek ramsey I thought newer wdtv can decode hd audio na?

not necessarily makita ko yong DTS HD MA sa display ng receiver although may DTS display na sya, gusto ko lang po na umayos yong audio nya kasi nagpuputol putol yong audio though maganda naman video.
Sir raider125jeigh, saan po ba naseset yong raw sa WDTV gen 1, di ko kasi makita yon, stereo and digital lang (set ako sa digital) raw ba eh sa stereo setting? please advise...thanks
-
does anybody here know how to set the WDTV gen 1 audio to raw, i'm having problem with DTS HD MA
many thanks for your input

Have you tried using other media players? If im not mistaken, si WDTV Gen 1 hirap ata sa dts-hd audio formats. Not sure, please correct me nalang guys if im wrong. thanks

i was referring to receiver side automatic na basta ang i feed ay dts ma.....with respect to the source kailangan pang is set sa passthrough..or same as input or RAW....thats why i asked kung ano ang source
-
just read these in a forum dont know if its true never had a WD
DTS-MA and TrueHD can't be supported by the Gen. 1 since it doesn't support HDMI 1.3 which is required for bitstreaming these formats.
guess you have to have your WD convert the dts ma to one which it can support
-
sir yygoob, i'm using HDMI 1.3 eversince i acquired my receiver and napagtripan ko lang magdownload ng torrent na DTS HD MA kung ano ba outcome noon or ano resulta kung magkaiba ba sila s ordinary torrent na 1080p eh gumana naman kaso may problema sa audio, but anyway thanks sa mga input try ko mag download ulit ng Bluray format na DTS HD MA baka may problema lang naman sa audio yong file na nai download ko first time kasi eto, yong bluray (.iso) na cloverfield wala namang problema sa audio though di sya DTS HD MA, try ko naman iba

it would seem di kaya ng source mo dtsma...the video would work pero hindi ang audio... kaya dapat magdownload ka ng ordinary dts lang ang audio...that would explain bakit kaya yung cloverfield

Might aswell leave it at 2ch stereo kung for music, it sounds better.

Hi mga sir. Been reading about the well reviewed 616 but it seems some had problems with the hdmi board ata yun. Any actual feedback sa owners in pinoydvd? Sabe naman pag na update na yung firmware, ok naman na daw e. Thanks

I have an Onkyo NR709 I purchased back in 2011/2012 and after a couple of years of ok use (did have problems that FW upgrade and/or factory reset solved), my receiver no longer receives any input via HDMI (it works sometimes when I turn on my Xbox 360, then it can detect my PS4). I'm thinking it's out of the warranty since it's been more than a year, so does anyone know a solution to this problem?
Also, is there an Onkyo service center here that can try to fix it? I like the Onkyo a lot, and want to know if the problem is fixable since I need another receiver for an HT we're building.
Thanks!
edit: I've also found a website that stated Onkyo issued a recall for some 2011/2012 units. Any idea if the local Onkyo dealer accepts this?

We can have that repaired kela Onkyo mismo sir. 300php lang ata diagnose nyan sir.

@tein
Where is Onkyo Philippines located? Searched the net and found a service center sa may West Ave., but not sure if they're third party or offical Onkyo. Plus, I want to make sure they can fix it since I have to bring the unit from Mindanao to Manila.
FYI, got it semi-working, by plugging in my Cignal box to HDMI 2 so that it's always powered, and it seemed to work; now, HDMI 3, 4 and 7 are working, but still nothing from HDMI 6 (I haven't checked others).
I guess it's good for now that I don't have that much sources, but I'll be limited to the number of HDMI-In I can use for now.

No harm in doing so, afterall, if it sounds better to you afterwards then it was the right move. Although at 7db parang mataas na ata ang gain mo, I've never set my avr over 0.0.
-
and also bro my fronts is set to full band dapat ba 80hz thx?
-
good as set as large po ba ang ibig sabihin ng Full band?
-

If I recall correctly, that's a yes. Usually what is suggested is to set it at small and have your sub do most of the low frequency work.

malaki po ba difference ng 515 sa 616? may available po kaseng sealed 515 and used 616 at almost the same price

Sirs kamusta ang Onkyo TR-NR509 compared sa Pioneer 521K? Gamitin siya for HT movies pero 2.0 Floorstanders or 2.1 for a 6sqm closed living room area condo.
For speakers, torn between 2.0 A-Audio Ezekiel Floorstanders or 2.1 Ezekiel din or Wharfedale 10.1 or 9.1 with budget sub.
-
brader almost same lang sila pero nagamit ko pareho yan para sakin mas maganda yung 509 kumpara sa 521, better to audition it first
-
This just came in from the mail... Brand new older stock 2010 Onkyo Pre/Pro for my main HT set-up in the basement. I am so excited! Newer Denon X4000 will be placed in my bedroom and will be used as music receiver at the same time. :) ;D :D
I already ordered Monoprice snake XLR cables, would it make any difference if I will use more expensive brand like Audioquest?

Magandang hapon sa lahat.
Mga brader, hingi po sana ako komento, balak ko mag set up mas 2.0 muna for the mean time.
Ang existing ko po ang Konzert 502 + Konzert Speakers + hyundai videooke.
Based sa specs parang ok na ako sa features ng NR626, yung network features po kasi gusto ko doon.
Sa speaker naman parang maganda rin review ng polk A3,naka pag audition ako pero naka kabit sa integrated amp, maganda naman sa pandinig ko at tama lang yung BS type para sa akin.
Okey po na ang combination nito? Gamitin mostly sa 65% Audio + 35% movies, at if possible ma i hook up ko yung hyundai videoke.
Nga po pala ang sala diretso dining po namin ay mga around L20 x W12 X H9 inches.
balak ko po ito budgetan ng mga 50-60k
TIA po.

626 + rtiA3 good match. videoke input mo audio sa receiver via the RCA red and white, video direct to tv nalang.

Is it normal that the speaker terminals in AVRs loosen in time? Just noticed that my L surround earlier wasnt working when I did a test tone sweep. First thing that came in mind was a rat eaten speaker cable. Checked at the back and all were intact. Then when I checked the speaker terminal in the AVR, it was loose! I just tightened it and everything worked normally. I remember the terminals to be tight when I installed them and eversince I haven't touched it. (https://s.yimg.com/lq/i/mesg/emoticons7/39.gif)

Provided na naka alalay naman yung volume tuwing mag vi-videoke, risky po ba ito?
gusto ko na rin sana igarahe yung konzert amp + konzert speaker para maipwesto ko itong bagong setup ng maganda. pero yun nga po pang family bonding ang videoke namin.
additional question din po, yung hyundai rin ang dvd player namin, rca out lang po ito wala hdmi, anong features po ng avr yung parang bypass lang. Meaning pag manood lang yung mga kids ay di pagaganahin yung avr, yung audio at video pass thru na lang sa tv.
Salamat.

Brought my broken Onkyo NR709 to the service center, and they informed me that the HDMI board is broken, that it'll take 2-3 months for parts to arrive from Japan and it'll cost 15k.
Considering I bought the unit at around 45k, it's around 1/3 the price. Is there an alternative use for a working AVR but with a defective HDMI input? One does work (for now), so thinking of buying a HDMI switch so I can connect multiple sources to the single HDMI.
Other than this, any unique use I can get from it (audio only mode)?

Hi Doc, this applies to most connections, it's not that the terminal physically comes loose but the cable cores ease over time. It pays to check the connections regularly - I do mine every 6 months.

Hmm. It looks like no more Audyssey in the 2014 line up for Onkyo. Neither the 535 nor the 636 have it, instead they have "AccuEQ":

Buti meron pang tunog yung 709 mo. My Wife's 809 ay biglang naging totally silent although all other functions seem to be working pa - decoding, video passthrough and processing - wala lang talagang sound. When I checked the net, mukhang common problem sa 09 series ang defective HDMI board. I also read that Onkyo repairs that model for free out of warranty kaso I bought my unit from Amazon and I dont think Onkyo Service Centers in Manila can offer the same free repair. $300 or so nga daw ang repair cost, so mga 15K nga siguro sa Manila.
I was hoping na magamit man lang ang optical inputs while waiting for repair, kaso wala rin sound at all.
Our 809 is only 2.5 years old. Too early to fail!!! First time naming nasiraan ng AVR. Might revert to Yamaha.

09 series, kasama ung dsp sa main board ng hdmi..
one it fail then you need to replace the entire board.
on other series like 805... nakahiwalay ung DSP board sa HDMI..

Bakit tuwing nag-switch on or off ako ng lights or electric fan, nawawala yung video ko pag nakakabit sa Onkyo HDMI inputs? May fluctuation malamang sa power, but the AVR itself does not turn off. Yung picture lang sa TV ang nawawala. Could a surge protector remedy this?

Hi Bhenard, whats the good speaker match for this onkyo 616 and why do you need to update the firmware to avoid possible video problem, is the current firmware not compatible with videos? please advice thanks...
-
Seeking advice on Onkyo Tx-Nr 616 power shutting down after 30 minutes of usage.
Need help po regarding my onkyo 616, I had this unit almost a year now and everything is fine until last week na pag binuhay mo sya eh kusa syang nagshut-shutdown and it would take awhile bago sya mabuhay uli and then will shutdown again after 30 minutes or so. As of now di ko muna ginagamit due to this situation. Any idea or anyone experienced the same problem?
Thank you very much
-
nasa cabinet ba yung avr mo sir? an auxiliary fan would help:
(http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n159/cavalier94sq/IMG_3701.jpg)
-
Sir Weng,
Thank u po sa advice, I'll try to put a cooling fan just as you suggested.

I agree with the fan. The interior of the AVR can get pretty hot, pretty fast. Wish I did something similar since had a glass divider two inches above the top of the AVR.
My Onkyo's HDMI board died on me a few months ago, and thinking this could be one cause (on top of subpar quality boards they used on some production runs, as confirmed by Onkyo some months ago). Would cost me 15k to replace, so opting to use my HDMI Front with an HDMI switch. :(
-
did this too. although the 626 has a built-in fan, i didnt want to risk it getting that hot. thats why i too placed another fan on top. parang ke sir wengkapre.

sirs,
I have problem with my onkyo 508 na 110V which plugged in sa 110v outlet and when I'm watching movies then meron sobrang lakas na LFE eh nag rerestarted yung AVR. Saglit lang naman mga 2 seconds naka ON na ulit yung avr. pero when I lower the volume on the same scene na may malakas na LFE di naman nag rereset?
Any advice?
TIA!

Check your speaker settings. Baka kailangan itaas ang xover point so low frequencies won't go through the speakers. Ganyan din old Pio ko.

^ sir nelson. my xovers are set to 80. itaas ko pa to 100?

shutdown! 508 couldn't handle it. Tama si sir Nelson try to lower x over or if don't push the receiver too much baka power hungry din mga speakers mo. Under powered speakers can lead to damage on receiver and speakers

Sir recheck mo speaker cables/ connectors mo. Looks like me shorted.

I've tried lowering the xover to 120 but it's still the same. nag rereset pa din sa malakas na lfe.
I've check my wires naman wala naman shorted bro.

hi just want to check form the experts... I was going through my audessy setting and found that the crossover set for my LCR and surrounds is at 40hz. ok lang ba to or should i set it a 80hz? i tried setting it a 80 pero parang wala namang noticeable difference so i just set it back at 40. Suggestion is highly appreciated baka mas recommended to set it at 80 even if there is no difference (i think) or should i just leave it based on the calibration result. Im using polk RTi series for my LCR.
TIA.

most advice in the net is to set it at 80....pero i guess preference lang talaga.... most onkyo receiver would set it lower than 80 unless siguro satellite speakers mo.....in my case 40 din yung sinet ng onkyo pero i measured the frequency readings front and subwoofer together...mas flat kung 80 ang settings...sa pandinig ko rin mas ok and 80...hope this help
-
@louie - I'm using Polk rti a5 and cs 10
@yygoob - thanks sir been reading from the net and suggested is at 80 nga. Will try again if there will be difference using 80.
Also noticed that my ohm rating was set at 6ohms and based from Polk specs my LCR is at 8ohms. Tried changing it in my AVR but options are 4 and 6 only. Ok Lang kaya Ito? Feeling ko naman di di nahihirapan ung AVR.
-
^ Ok lang to set it at 6ohms...
Set your fronts and center na lang to 80Hz...
Then the LPF for LFE to 120Hz.

solve na ba ito? dati kasi may na encounter din ako ganito sa 508 ko, try mo sir configure yung sa SP Config, set mo yung front mo to Small speakers pag naka set kasi sa Large talagang nangyayari to sa Onkyo 508 eh lalo na kung naka set pa sa on yung Double Bass..HTH. :)

solved na to sir. 110v kasi yung onkyo and naka plug sa 110v outlet. eh naisip kong gumamit ng step down transformer at rekta sa 220v. ayun so far ok na. tingin ko hindi maganda grounding ng 110v kaya kinukulang sa kuryente.

From 608 to 805 to 5009... I never had any problems...
Its getting hot but with proper ventilation and small exhaust fan would greatly help. I also heard that Onkyo 3030 is already available locally :)

So here's the story of my 809 na nanahimik. Brought to Toyama expecting expensive HDMI board replacement and long waiting time. A few days later, gawa na raw and ang na replace lang ay 2 pcs of resistors sa sound output circuit daw. Ehhhh! Anyway so far so very good and I think we are lucky na walang bumili when I offered it for sale even before bringing to the Onkyo service center.
Since ala ako sa Phils, it's my Wife who handled the repairs. Ang di ko sure kung saan banda talaga yung resistors na pinalitan. Nasa HDMI board ba yon or the so called sound output circuit ay ibang part. Na remedyohan lang ba ng service center? Hehehe. Anyway, gumagana na nga talaga ulit so no complains muna. 3 months warranty naman yata ang Toyama.
-
Need help: i own a onkyo tx-sr706 dont know where to have it fixed, any recommendations?! preferably Makati area. sorry for posting here.. first timer...
damage: terminal for speakers. no sound on the fronts left and right

Nice sir!
Yung output circuit is probably the amplifier section, which is highly repairable.

have anyone tried to bring an AV receiver via check-in luggage from abroad? i'm contemplating on doing it as the Onkyo 828 AVR prices are marked-down to $599 in Amazon ... i'm not worried about the tax as they no longer open the luggages in NAIA, but not sure if packaging can withstand the handling for check-in baggage
-
I was able to take home a Sony STR-DE845 from LAX via check-in luggage and it arrived in good shape. However, this is way back 2001 so it might not be relevant.
-
basta hindi gagalaw galaw sa loob ng maleta or a bigger box yung Onkyo box. medyo mataba (mataas) lang ang Onkyo so my concern is kung kasya sa taba ng maleta yung buong box - tough hard shell sana for added protection. I use lots of loose styro to fill all space...mixed with bags of potato chips para mas madali mapuno ang empty spaces na walang added weight halos.
or are you thinking na yung Onkyo box lang itself ang check-in? Ibabato-bato sigurado ng baggage handlers yon. Tapos mainit sa mata ng TSA yon especially sa connecting flights sa mainland. Also, makakalusot ba yon sa NAIA kung kitang-kitang electronics? I noticed na wala ngang bukasan ng maleta sa NAIA recently but what about obvious electronic items?

Kaya yan. Balutin mo lang ng mga damit tapos duct tape mo. Makapal na madaming damit. Done it before kasi short haul lang from Hong Kong.

Use a balikbayan box and put lots of jeans / clothes around it bro... and congrats on your newly resurrected 809 :)
-
In my case, the box was too bulky to fit in the luggage so I just wrapped the AVR in two towels. I think I was just lucky that the receiver made in through in perfect condition.
-
Share ko lang. Just recently pinasabay sa sister in law ko yung Sony Projector. What they did is pinasok sa loob ng balikbayan box yung mismong box nung PJ and added some pasalubong items. Ok naman pagdating dito sa Pinas. Mas sensitive pa yung pj coz of the lens ;)
-
Yung balikbayan box ba passes the maximum allowable size of regular check-in luggage or considered oversized na by airline companies?
One possible issue is the weight limit (50lbs) per check-in luggage. The gross weight of the 828 is nearly 40lbs yata (with its own box). Remaining 10+ lbs. is pretty tight kaya kapag binalot mo pa ng damit or towels, ubos agad yon. Bags of potato chips with loose styro should be better. Anyway, reasonable to assume na isang buong maleta equivalent - that means sayang isang luggage for bubongs and other stuff except kung wala talagang check-in luggage in the first place. Eto naging dilemma ko with my 809. Kung papadala sa US for free repair sana, its gross is nearly 48lbs (net around 40lbs) kaya impossibleng ilagay pa sa maleta or a bigger box without exceeding 50 lbs. for a regular check-in luggage. So libre man ang repair costs, ang gastos and hassle naman sa shipping to and from the US. Buti nalang na-repair sa Toyama so much cheaper than I expected.

planning to place it in my luggage ... it should fit into my huge bag ... tambakan ko na lang ng damit at chocolates ... duck tape suggestion is a good idea to reinforce the box ... i think that balikbayan box is not an option for me, baka buksan at ma-tax pa ako - i don't stay long term in US, 2-3 weeks max lang every time i go there ... i've brought several delicate electronic items before, but nothing this big and this seems to be more delicate ... thanks for the suggestions ... hopefully they reduce the price further when i get there end of Feb :)
-
Good luck!
Anong feedback sa 2013 and 2014 models ng Onkyo regarding heating and HDMI issues? Ang taas talaga sana ng cost performance ng Onkyo (lalo na ng gusto mong 8 series at $599 - that's a great deal!) as long as it works. Hindi lang yung sound ang maganda, pati video upscaling is impressive - I thought my VT plasma was already that darn good on its own until I noticed how much difference the Onkyo pass-thru makes. I'm just hoping that Onkyo engineers would address the heating issue more earnestly and effectively - additional cooling fans, additional heatsink - how technically challenging that can that be? Or kung masira man yung unit, at least something that would not require a major part replacement is so short a time. With my Yamaha AVR experience since the 90s, ni isa walang nasira until I replaced them - nakaipon lang in time kaya I decided to get a better and better Yamaha after around 5 years or so. Before my bad Onkyo experience, I really thought that AVRs are like fridge - one to sawa.
In any case, I think I would still have gotten another Onkyo kung hindi nagawa yung 809 ko. Di hamak na mas mura than Yamaha eh. hehehe.

Mga sir ask ko lang kung may nakaranas na sa inyo ng ganitong problema sa AVR nyo. Meron kasi akong 818 almost 1.5 years old na sya, pag pinindot mo yong BD/DVD na button sa unit iba yong lumalabas sa display ex: CABL/SAT. Ganon din sa ibang buttons nya iba yong pinindot mo iba rin lumalabas, kailangan mo pa i-press ulit tsaka lalabas yong tama. Halimbawa press mo yong GAME 1 dapat dalawang press tapos lalabas yong GAME 1 sa display nya. Pero pag sa remote ay ok naman tama naman yong lumalabas kung ano yong pinindot mo. Tsaka minsan nag no signal yong HDMI out nya, nakailang palit na rin ako ng HDMI cable at tingin ko sa unit talaga yong may sira. Other than these problems ok pa naman yong 818 ko. Any input kung ano ba magandang gawin sa unit?
-
^Yes sir, kahit sa Yammy ko may exact same problem din. Mukhang sakit talaga ito ng mga soft touch buttons.

With regards to the NO SIGNAL issue, sakit ata talaga ng ONKYO yan. You just have to detach and re-attach both ends of the HDMI cable to resolve the issue. Just make sure that both units are UNPLUGGED.

Mga sir meron na bang naka-experience magpapalit ng hdmi board sa inyo? Mga magkano kaya? Palagi na kasing nagloloko yong hdmi ng 818 ko. Reliable nman kaya pag pinalitan? Wala pa kasing budget for a new AVR baka sakaling marepair pa.

Darn last night my onkyo 608 is not responding. When I turn on my regulator, my onkyo automatically have "fw update" lighted up front. It is not responding at all. I don't know what happened. The night before I just played some flac files on my mede8er. I never did any update. Oh well. Taking it to the service center today. Darn no receiver for several days. Bad trip.

baka may warranty pa yan sir? avail mo if meron pa.

Hi wala na. I had this receiver since 2008 or 2009 ata.

Hi the service center is in West ave. as mentioned by Wengkapre. Some other tel nos are 374-8669 to 71. Makita mo malaki onkyo sign.
Hay I'm kinda losing hope on my receiver. 3 ic daw kailangan. They have to order from Japan and they are still checking the price. Baka 3 to 6 months wala ako receiver. Bad trip. Ok na ok sana itong 608 for my basic needs. Parang I don't want to splurge 80 to 100 plus grand for a new receiver. I might just go basic 7.2 receiver again until atmos and dtsx is fully supported na and the prices are affordable na. Hay isip isip..

Hello po newbie po ako gusto ko sana makahingi payo kung anu maganda bilhin HT ba or avr na lang kasi most my input gusto ko sana wireless. stream ko wifi from may cellphone pag nanood ng movie or di naman kaya via hdd?
Anu pala maganda brand
Salamat
-
what is the feedback of the onkyo service center? Good or bad service? I have my unit there since last saturday. They keep telling me they will call me the next day (when I call to follow up), because they are waiting for the IC prices from Japan. Does it really take that long to get the prices from Japan?
I'm getting second thoughts on Onkyo now if ever I will get a new receiver.

Had experience with them, ok naman. Hindi kaya for new models lang yang IC na yan kaya wala pa sila idea kung magkano? Ayaw lang siguro nila magcommit sa inyo dahil baka mapasubo sila.
But don't take my word for it, kasi 1 time pala ako nakapagpaservice. ;)

Thanks a lot sir. I just talked to them today and they are not even sure if they replace the 3 ic that it would fully solve the problem. There is a possibility of more parts needed. Pero i might have no choice but to let them do it because sayang naman receiver ko. Hay naku....worst scenario is the hdmi board and their estimate is around 12000 pesos. It may be more.
-
what? 12k ang estimate, ang mahal pala hehe. pag kotse yan, "major overhaul" na ang tawag dun.
if i were you, bili ka na lang ng brand new receiver. puro bago pa ang parts sa loob, may warranty pa and you will have a peace of mind. its a more costly option but worth it. dami na magagandang receiver ngayon, bakit ka nagtyatyaga jan sa luma, what if masira ulit yan, then another 12k? so naka 24k ka na sa repairs which is equivalent to brand new. uso pa ba ang sentimental value ngayon.
electronics are not designed to last long. :)
-
^_Korak si brader lahat ng bagay naluluma kaya alisin na yung mentalidad na sentimental value....lol!

ok naman service center ng Onkyo sa West Avenue ... i had 2 Onkyo receivers having the almost the same issue as yours repaired ... good thing is that it happened while still under warranty ... after the same issue occurring on two different models, I decided to stay away from Onkyo on my next purchase - now using Denon, and it's been performing well for more than 5 years without any issue

Thanks sir, ya i think denon will be my next purchase.

I was very satisfied with Toyama's handling of my 809, but I was very fortunate that they had the replacement parts and hindi naman pala HDMI board ang palitin na. Yeah, talagang approx. $300 ang aabutin ng HDMI board replacement. Mapapaisip ka nga whether it's worth spending that much or kukuha ka nalang ng bago. I was thinking mas mura pa rin to spend 12K-15K to repair my 809 in case. Kaso, wag naman sanang uulit yung HDMI problem in a few years. Anyway good luck!
Also thinking of going back to Yamaha in case bumigay mga Onkyo namin right now. Kaya lang, ang mura ng Onkyo comparatively and ang ganda ng tunog sa HT.

Thanks sir, i already gave them the go ahead to repair the three IC. Hay, yun lang 3 months wait. If they did not work, i dont need to pay them daw. I will just pay the inspection fee. This is when i will decide hehe. So ok naman, yun lang if it is the board then for sure it is quite expensive, as mentioned.
So far i am very happy with my onkyo 608 and really no problems whatsoever until now.
-
Ok sila Toyama sir, bilis yan kausap..
-
Ok sila Toyama sir, bilis yan kausap..
Thanks sir, naisip ko nga mag upgrade at first pero ang mahal pala hehe I was checking the 3030 because I wanted 7.2.4 atmos. Pero I might just wait for dolby and dts to battle it out before I decide.
-
Ginalaw nyo ba yung settings,ng intelli volume nyo?
guys?
-
Anu settings ng Intellivolume nyo guys?
-
Well i finally got my onkyo 608 back, spent 4500 for a couple of ic's. Well for me ok na, so no atmos upgrade at the moment hehe.

...Happy owner of Onkyo TX-NR3030 for 6 mos. :) The pure analog audio path ( aside from the pure audio and pure direct mode) is what I like on this model, (press the pure audio button for 5 seconds to activate this) when using my CD player and external DAC. This feature is present on models 838, 1030 and 3030.

i have onkyo tx-nr616, updated its firmare but i am still having issues getting some hdmi to output properly.

Mga Sirs,
Need you opinions lang regarding my simple HT set-up. I'm current using Onkyo NR509 (80 wpc) paired with Mission M34i (92 db).
If I upgrade my receiver to a NR737 (110 wpc), would there be a significant diff? sulit to upgrade?

Yes. Higher wattage na yun 737 than your previous amplifier
-
im newbie po about HT i just started reading mga weeks palang.
i buy some malaki pakulang.
onkyo tx-nr626 7.2
is this good enough? for With more than 810 watts of speakers?
-
sayang naman yung onkyo avr 626 nyo sir kung jamo speakers lang i-partner nyo.
ayaw nyo ba ng polk audio? weakness kc ng jamo ang midrange area based on several reviews,parang butas, mahina ang midrange ng jamo 608 FS.
aside from that, polk audio ang ka-matched ng onkyo. yung jamo sub250 naman, although bitin yan sa lows pero puwede na as a stop gap measure.
once ka lang naman bibili, why not yung ok na, kasi by their very nature speakers can last a long time even for more than 10 years.
cguro you were tempted by discounts since the Danish jamo speakers was already phased out long time ago.
just my advice lang po.

Rti A7 front speaker
Csi A6 center speaker
FXi A6 surround speaker
Rti A3 surround back high L/R

rti -a7 i think works will with 626, maybe lower down nalang center front and sub.
-
I need price and model of Onkyo entry level AVR. San din pwede bumili ng installment?
-
i would discourage anything less than the 8 series for the a7. the a3 might sound better because of the lack for power from the 6 series onkyo.

Nakabili ka na?
My insights:
Pareho lang naman efficiency ng A7 and A3 so you'll get the same output per watt. A7's advantage on bass over A3 will be virtually useless once you have set the speakers to small. The FX/i or any dipole/bipole worked with the ancient Dolby Prologic (synthesized surrounds) but will muddy the sound of today's discrete surround outputs. So I suggest you use Rti A3 all around, for perfect timbre-match.
And if you want the lows to dig deeper consider an SVS sub, or two!

Mga sir ask ko lang kung may nakaranas na sa inyo ng ganitong problema sa AVR nyo. Meron kasi akong 818 almost 1.5 years old na sya, pag pinindot mo yong BD/DVD na button sa unit iba yong lumalabas sa display ex: CABL/SAT. Ganon din sa ibang buttons nya iba yong pinindot mo iba rin lumalabas, kailangan mo pa i-press ulit tsaka lalabas yong tama. Halimbawa press mo yong GAME 1 dapat dalawang press tapos lalabas yong GAME 1 sa display nya. Pero pag sa remote ay ok naman tama naman yong lumalabas kung ano yong pinindot mo. Tsaka minsan nag no signal yong HDMI out nya, nakailang palit na rin ako ng HDMI cable at tingin ko sa unit talaga yong may sira. Other than these problems ok pa naman yong 818 ko. Any input kung ano ba magandang gawin sa unit?
up ko lang to, medyo ganto nangyayari sa onkyo ng tropa ko. may naka experience na din sa inyo ng ganto?
-
Pa ask lang po @tein oir @all
Yong 838 po ba or 747 na onkyo
Can support dolby atmos 7.2.2 or 7.1.2 or 5.1.4?
How can it support dtsx? Firmware upgrade? because i searched specs and it seem like atmos lang
Anong difference sa US bought model keysa sa locally bought? ::)

Is there an update for the firmware of the onkyo TX-SR608? Thanks?

747 can support dts-x and atmos through firmware update, easy lang sya sir, download it to your usb, reflash the receiver and thats it sir.. 838 dolby atmos as of now sir, i think 848 soon pag may stock na will be atmos and dts-x na.
Locally bought units has an advantage sa after sales syempre sir.
-
Thanks sa paliwanag sir..
Ibig sabhin ang 838 di mag susuport ng DTSX?
848 lang?
-
walang 848 model na lalabas. next models above the 747 are the RZ800 and RZ900. wala pang balita kung ilalabas sila locally.

I'll call them, humihina kasi left back surround and front right, dati left surround ang humina, biglang nag-ok pero right front and left back naman ang humina, lumilipat-lipat yung issue.. hehe..

Pinatingnan ko sa Toyama yong 818 ko sir, nilinis nila yong loob ng mga button sa harap at may sinolder daw don sa HDMI, buti na lang walang pinalitang parts. So far ok na ulit yong unit ko mga two weeks ko pa lang naman nagagamit yng 818 ko so under observation pa rin.

thanks.

I have the same problem with my NR709, issue with the HDMI board (where the DTS chip is also located). Tried the Onkyo service center before Onkyo acknowledged the problem, was told it'll cost around 15k and a couple of months (they had to order from Japan). Don't know if Onkyo PH will do this for free now since Onkyo USA extended warranty until 2018. Anyone know?

i'm currently using an NR509 and planning to upgrade to an NR737.. sorry newbie question, is this ok if my rears can only handle 75watts and the NR737 is at 110 wpc?

More wattage to feed the speakers better than less.

Hi, newbie here. May binigay sa aking deffective Onkyo TX-SR806. walang tumatanggap for repair dito sa davao kaya pinadala ko sa qc. Hdmi board daw ang may tama and 13k for labor and parts.
Ok na po ba yon? Tama lang ba presyo? tia
-
mahal talaga magpa ayos sir. so better think twice, lumang model na din kasi yan saka konting dagdag na lang, brand new receiver na.
-
kaya nga sir. yon nga pinag iisipan ko. bigay lang din kasi. sa tingin nyo sir? para ko syang binili ng 15k if ipapagawa ko.
-
Iirc madami problema 806 model

av receivers today are not built like tank unlike vintage amps in the past. av receivers are more on features due to stiff competition and due to online buyers who base their decision on features, hence for them, the more features,the better.hence,at the expense of durability, here came av receivers which have more "features". in general, madali talaga masira mga receivers ngayon, more so if made in china yan.
and pag naayos ba, sure ka ba na hindi na masisira ulit yung ibang parts?
with a brand new receiver,you can even avail of its warranty kung masira agad and have a peace of mind.
just my opinion though. :)
-
Thank's. Backread nalang ako for recommendations and reviews na pasok sa budget. brand new nalang for peace of mind. Kung nasa 5k lang sana cost nong repair, papatulan ko talaga sana.

Anyone has tried using double bass feature then set FR to Fullband?
Why anung problem? na try ko para lang syang loudness sa bass kung ano ang setting mo sa crossover fq sa front.

My Onkyo 515 is now experiencing the no network/ sound status. Upon reading from other forums, this is prevalent to this model i think. Onkyo even extended the warranty up to 2018 for US market. Mine is not locally sourced so definitely will not be under warranty. Usually daw ang problema is the HDMI board. Any idea on how much will it cost to repair? TIA

hi, I bought a 2nd hand NR525..may mga issue ako sa mga HDMI output
1. sa DVD source ko ayaw gumana ng HDMI audio..naka ON naman hdmi audio sa source..pero ANALOG lang na de-detect ng AVR at 5.1 naman audio ng movie ko.
2. sa NMT source ko, ayaw mag send ng digital audio using HDMI pero gumana sa TOSLINK..pero I suspect NMT issue ito..btw, Measy AIHD ang NMT ko..HDMI lang kasi nakalagay sa audio option ng NMT walang HDMI RAW

Another question pa po. Diba dapat pag nabasa ang true hd atmos track ng bluray mabibitstream nya sa receiver? Nagsalang kasi ako ng blu ray disc in atmos track.
True hd lang yong lumabas. Naka bitstream naman ang settings ng audio?
Bluray player ko kaya may problem? Tapos parang 4.1 channel lang ang nai passthrough nya kahit true hd.

With regards to the NO SIGNAL issue, sakit ata talaga ng ONKYO yan. You just have to detach and re-attach both ends of the HDMI cable to resolve the issue. Just make sure that both units are UNPLUGGED.
ito problem ko ngayon eh NO SIGNAL, masubukan nga mamaya. ???

Baka kasama na parts dun sa 10k.

hi, Onkyo masters.
my friend has an SR333 and we're trying to find out how to set-up ARC successfully with his Android TV. We seem not able to get through to it.
Android TV --> HDMI IN (ARC) --> Onkyo SR333 HDMI OUT
Android TV -- HDMI ARC ON, Audio Out to System
Onkyo SR333 -- HDMI ARC Auto, HDMI CEC ON
We will play a movie on the TV's built-in Video player to send the audio to the AVR. on the AVR, we selected TV/CD as its input. No signal is being received by the Onkyo. We are using hi-speed HDMI with Ethernet cable. I believe this is CEC compliant.
What I can't find is how to set on the Onkyo SR333 that its TV/CD input should be HDMI. I think it is defaulted with S/PDIF. Otherwise, which input should we choose on the Onkyo to receive the ARC signal?
many thanks in advance!

Mga Onkyo brothers,
Patulong naman. Gamit ko kasi Onkyo NR-3008 9.2 Receiver, got it from a fellow member about 2014.
Working fine until last Saturday. Biglang nagloko, nawawala-wala ang audio. Then the other day totally "No Sound" na-- ALL sources(HDMI, coaxial, digital, analog). Video output is working fine pero maraming artifacts. Meron pa naman front panel display, pero palaging "Analog" ang naka-indicate.
Ano kayang problem nito?
Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks!
-
Did some research on my problem.
And I think I found a solution. Fortunately, Onkyo USA has a running program for this specific issue, link:

Updated my 656 as well. Nanibago nga ako. Parang mas malinis and malawak tunog bigla.
Nag calibrate ako ulit then dun ko na-discover na yung right front ko eh tweeter na lang gumagana. So bad trip ako afterwards. Hanap pa tuloy nang kapalit.

Ginamit ko muna psb image t5 ko for front and right. Calibrated again then konting adjustment sa level. Set crossover sa full band. Recommended daw for floor standers eh.
Do you guys turn on the accueq room calibration? Initially i turned on (except front/left). Tested this one but it does not suit my taste. Numipis tunog. Turned it off and mas maganda ang tunog. Mas buo.
-
^ I turned it on, walang difference sa akin. :o
for crossover set ko lang sa 40hz front, center, surround ,(auto mic calibration setting of my speakers) so far so good for me. nilalaro ko lang yung level calibration after nung calibration. :)
-
Yun din recommendation initially ng auto calibration sa fs ko. Except sa center and surrounds 100hz.
Maybe biglang nanliit center ko. Well maliit naman talaga.
What I can say is that i'm liking the psb onkyo combination. Wharfedale right now gamit ko so now I have two routes:
1. Replace fronts with wharfedales as well to match all speakers. Volume ko with this setup now is 55 - 60. Medyo mahirap din drive wharfedales.
2. Buy the matching psb center. I'm sure mas madali i-drive PSB.
-
^how I wish to have psb like you chief! :)
kung ano siguro auto calibration recommend ng Onkyo may fit na with your system. ;)
Merry Christmas. :)

What speakers do you use and whats your listening volume?

volume ko is 54 na, di ko ma appreciate less than that eh, max ko is 65 sa 656 ko.

Same level din tayo. Maybe ganun talaga 656. Wharfedale diamond 9 hcp na maliliit lang gamit ko. Kaya nung kinabit ko psb nanibago ako

sir, why don't you also buy @hotchefnick's 5.0 speaket set? Klipsch is also good, right? Rather than super nova? Then buy a floorstanding or good bookshelf for your fronts. that way, you'd have better stereo speakers when listening to music.
Or I maybe wrong...

I've bought a new one too lately. very cheap from SM Appliance, v2.0 daw and costs around P400.. working good! I have Monster Cable v1.4a, okay din. both cables are working from TV to AVR with the ARC enabled.

as for the Nova, I just saw it at Lazada in the past and haven't heard it play yet.

lately kakalaro ko settings sa Onkyo 656 ko na diskubre ko na meron pa palang adjust nung audio nya dun sa audio source selection pala pwede ka magdagdag ng gain dun..dati kasi hinang hina ako sa sound kailangan pa 55+ ang volume bago ko marinig gusto ko tunog..now after adjusting the Source IntelliVolume viola 30 palang ang volume busog na busog na sa power ang speakers ko. ;D
mabuti sa onkyo individual source volume gain.. what's your Atmos heights speakers used on your 656? tia!

yup, the best heights implementation is thru ceiling installation... best alternative is thru small bookshelf wall-mounted overhead and last is the atmos-enabled one.
but will your lessor agree if you just drill holes on the wall instead (for a small bookshelf wall-mount implementation)? or mount it on the ceiling via pinpoint AM20/AM30
powerful si 656 @100W 8ohms =))

sa experience ko chief mas accurate na ang calibration ng Onkyos compare sa dati, galing ako ng SR508 and mas gusto ko yung bigay ng bagong Onkyo 656 ko sa calibration di ko na nga ginalaw setting lalo na sa distance. :)

You mean AccuEQ. Wala nang Audyssey ang Onkyo ngayon.
From what I've read AccuEQ doesn't apply EQ to the fronts and calibrates the other speakers to sound like the fronts. This is great if one has good-sounding front speakers.

i've finally break the bank (joke!) and got myself an RZ720 -- actually, current US/UK price is higher than the price I got it locally. perhaps it's made in Malaysia but I'm yet to recheck. so I find this a bang to my buck!
this is my 1st taste of Onkyo flavor and I liked it a lot already after only a few hours of testing & tweaking. I haven't watched any full-length movie yet nor blast it to my heart's content.
ALL are positive so far and I would highly recommend this to whoever wants a macho gear!
- pass-thru 4K video well
- pass-thru Atmos/DTS:X well
- i'm loving the THX Cinema sound mode -- but will use it only on none ATMOS/DTS:X materials
- gave a better juice to my speakers
- also gave my flacs even mp3's a better experience
and here are just some of my "newbie to Onkyo" I can live with-observations:
- its OSD puts you on a 720p reso screen. it doesn't do screen overlay where you can still see what you're watching when "Set-Up" button is pressed
- no ECO mode -- only ECO (Auto) on HDMI standby mode
- it gets hot (as mentioned I haven't blasted it yet)
- it has an internal fan anyway, so I'm yet to see when will it be triggered
I haven't done a firmware upgrade, more tests to come and I'll try it's AccuEQ Room Calibration, soon =)

The one being sold by waxx the rz820 is way cheaper than the dealers price given to stores. If you guys are planning to get an onkyo, that is the best deal so far. Srp is at 72990 and its just released almost 3weeks ago.

press the Info button on the remote -- repeatedly, if needed. you will see the actual # of input ch of your source.
I experienced the same... with my laptop's MPHC and media player's Kodi/SPMC, it says there Dolby AC3 but is decoded by Onkyo as MultiCh AAC. it has 5.1ch anyway and I can hear audio separation between speakers =)
-
Ok great! (http://www.sherv.net/cm/emo/happy/happy-dancing.gif) (http://www.sherv.net/) I'm using Splash Media Player. I saw the culprit. For some reason my activation code got erased and I had to input the code again for the premium features. Without the premium codes the audio is limited to stereo and 5.1. When I choose 5.1 it showed multichannel on my receiver. After inputting the activation code the option of HDMI audio was present. Clicking it showed the actual audio stream (DD, DTS, DTS-HD, etc) on my receiver. Thanks! (http://www.sherv.net/cm/emo/happy/pleased-smiley-emoticon.gif) (http://www.sherv.net/)

Ngayon ko lang na-feel power ng svs!!! Grabe ang bass ng atmos gumagapang!!! Malayo SQ sa 818 ko before... Sa tingin ko mas maganda mag setup ang Accueq compared sa Audyssey XT32, mas detailed / accurate and balance ang Accueq. Saktong-sakto.!!!..
Sorry guys enjoy na enjoy lang ako ngayon sa laruan ko. Hehehe :D
-
Good for you. I find my RZ810 less powerful compared to my 818. I find the RZ810 lacking in kick and oomph but more musical in my opinion.

Sa akin sir the other way around...i find my 818 more musical... RZ820 has more punch than my 818 kahit na nka rotel power amps pa (rb170/rmb1075 - sold the whole set last week)... I was impressed with rz820 bass output!!! Ngayon ko lang naramdaman totoong bass ng pb12nsd...
What i like with accueq one spot lang (sweet spot lang) ang test setup unlike audyssey ang daming area to test (8?)... After setup ng accueq double check ko lang speaker level with my spl meter, konting adjust and thats it, and the rest are in default
... test and Booom!!! Perfect!!!
One note: before accueq and audyssey starts they let you adjust yout subwoofer's volume to 75db - you need spl meter for this... Do this and you are set for a perfect Oooomph!!! Hehe :D... Adjust na lang konti after auto setup.

mahirap yung tanong mo sir hehe all mentioned models are very capable and strong HT contender..
possible choice deal sealer is your personal taste on appearance... feature wise pareho sila lahat. all are using AKM DAC now. difference between the Onkyo & Denon is their calibration softwares. plus on AccuReflex of Onkyo which specializes on calibrating "Atmos-enabled" speakers. perhaps you also need to consider what your current speakers are. among the 3, mas may power lang ng konti si NR676 over NR575 & X1400W. mas maliit casing ni x1400w, hindi masyado nag-iinit at mas matipid din ng konti sa kuryente
good luck sir and advance congrats sa mapipili mo =)
-
inquiry lang where to buy Onkyo NR575 with the best deal.
best found right now is Listening Room at 29,600.

^ i think ok na yan. that's already 20% off its SRP
last July 2017, that's 30,500 at Listening Room

okay na yan sa 20% off pag cash, sa akin nga 15% off lang binigay sa cash eh. :)

Hi po sa lahat,
Any personal review po on Onkyo TX-SR608?
I got an SR608 which was with me for more than 5 years. It is reliable as a horse. I already gave it to my dad for his own home audio setup, where he plays music non-stop on a daily basis. Never gave him any problems.

same here. I'm so satisfied I even named my pdvd handle after it.

My receiver (onkyo 636) was not used for quite a long time (almost 6 months). When i tried to use it yesterday, it still powers on but the center channel now emits cracking sound but still outputs sound of the video. And the led light that shows the AVR is on or in stand-by is gone. Is it the speaker or the receiver that has a problem. Any help from the community/DIY solution you can suggest? TIA.
-
Sa mga Onkyo Guru need help, wala na talaga ako makita sa internet, just bought NR757 from electrohaus_lp and after ng set-up with speakers noticed that wifi and ethernet not working same with usb. Did a hard reset as suggested by other forums pero after reset bumalik sa original firmware this time hindi na gumana ang ethernet bluetooth and usb, pati osd hindi na lumabas sa screen. Sa unit na lang din ako nag depend menu, pag pinindot ko ang NET or BLUETOOTH ang lumalabas lang Now Initializing hanggang sa mag blue screen. Baka meron dyan marunong mag force update ng receiver or any button combination para ma-update. Tried NET+Power Standby pero hindi mabasa ang ethernet then bigla nagerror ng 0-81, always "Please Update" everytime i-on ko yung unit, buti na lang nabalik ko sa dati.

Good day. Need expert advise po on how to resolve it.

Anyone here having issues with audio inputs from a skycable HD box? I recently got a NR555. Upon setup, audio was passing through HDMI without issue. Then a few weeks later audio stopped coming out. When I checked the information, audio input was assigned to analog. Even when I switch the HD Box to other HDMI ports, the settings follow. Anyone with the same issue?

isolate it, sir....
- change HDMI cable
- use other HDMI devices like media player, BD/DVD player -- see it it pass-through 6ch audio to NR555
- check HDMI setting of your SkyCable HD box
- check HDMI setting of your NR555 -- also make sure PCM fixed is turned off, if it has that setting mode
if you have a friend you can borrow his AVR and connect your HD box with it

Before I make an update, I already tried other hdmi cables. I also tried my android media player which worked fine. I also tried other sky cable boxes which worked the same.
Now for the update. By tsamba while playing around with it, I noticed that the problem occurs when I turn on uhd color mode on my Samsung TV. Samsung actually activates this automatically. When I turn it off, sound comes back. So it's pretty much working albeit I have to lose a function on the TV.
Now what I don't understand yet is that I don't need to to disable uhd color when I use other sources like my android box. Anybody know why? I'll have to post this question too on a Samsung TV thread if there is one.

I find it weird with Sammy TV's video setting, the HDMI audio pass-through gets affected (???)
Samsung TV "UHD Color" is slang for HDR. since your Skycable box isn't HDR, then it's only right to set off that TV function when source is non-HDR.
anyway, how's your connections? which of the 2:
Skycable -- > HDMI --> Sammy TV --> HDMI ARC --> NR555 or
Skycable -- > HDMI --> NR555 --> HDMI ARC --> Sammy TV
-
I connect it via option 2. What I find weird is that my minix media player is decoded properly even with uhd color on. I even tried using the hdmi cable of the minix and connected it to the onkyo. Same issue. Audio input becomes listed as analog. But when I put back the minix player it becomes hdmi as audio input.
Just as additional background I came to discover this function as the culprit when I was figuring out whether the arc hdmi port had anything to do with it. So as I was switching the hdmi ports on the TV, sound came on on my receiver with the TV off. When I turned on the TV, it prompted to activate uhd color. When I did, sound dropped out. When I deactivated manually, then sound came back.

depends on your preferred application. is it mainly for movies? Onkyo should be good!
between models providing various amp juice, it'll depend on your current speakers. are they the power-hungry types? if not, an Onkyo AVR should be ok with 60-80wpc 2ch driven. even if you set them loud with a movie, Onkyo can power them without restraints.
previous user of a RZ720 here... and currently NR474 3.1.2 ATMOS/DTS:X capable AVR (a friend's AVR, just letting me use it).
-
Yes it is mainly use for movies. Sometimes music. I think. But more on movies
-

I sent you PM, sir...
if you were satisfied with music on your SR373, then I think the higher model Onkyo's you've mentioned are all with AKM DAC and they would be a very much welcoming and improved performance on music.
good luck with your AVR hunting, sir! =))

ganun talaga si Onkyo.. need to press "Info" button from the remote to show the audio info (sasabay din dapat sa TV meron mas marami overlay info) -- then babalik kusa sa Input info sa display LED at mag-disappear na overlay info sa TV

So it seems i cant solve it. Gusto ko pa naman naka display lang ung "DOLBY ATMOS" habang nanonood because it seems to give me happiness. ;D
BTW, ano ba ang receiver na forever naka-display ung audio? Thanks
-
^
Onkyo: those hi-end AVR's with a 2-line display shows both the audio being decoded and the source
Denon: for 1-line display AVR's, it displays side by side both the audio being decoded and the source i.e. Media player, Blu-Ray, TV, etc
for 2-line displayAVR's, same with Onkyo
Yamaha: IIRC, it displays only the audio being decoded. via Info button, I think it'll toggle display the DSP or audio after-processing function (if you are using one) and the source
i may be inaccurate. masters, please correct me if I'm wrong =))

Where to buy Onkyo 686 receiver remote replacement?

i'm selling my 2017 NR474 acquired Aug2018 AVR.
thought of the current FW I have, I checked Onkyo's ASEANA/International website. learned that I missed the Aug2018 update -- my current was as of June2018 update.
and so I proceed with the update. after successful completion in a few minutes, I checked the current FW version to see if it matches the one latest from the ASEANAwebsite -- which always happen after my previous updates.
but not this time. it seems the current version # is much higher than the one indicated. I searched the Onkyo FW version only to know that it got the one announced for EU. it has both the announced in ASEANA Aug2018 update (Deezer HifI) and EU unknown date (Amazon Music, same with the Shield TV) new features.
happy to know that I got the 2 features on a 1-time FW update. I think ASEANA website would get updated of announcement too, soon!
happy Onkyo AVR unit owner here =))

@mhacman you owned RZ720 before and now selling your 474, are you upgrading or moving to the darker side (whatever brand it is :-) ?
How long have you had the 720 as I am looking at the 820 right now to try out to drive my Studio20's?
-
^ sir @stratix, I've had my RZ720 for almost a year and able to sell it here in PDVD =)) very happy with the 720, in fact!
medyo may kwento kasi the reason I got the 474 after selling the 720 -- I needed immediate funds that time. after selling the 720, my friend thought of the 474 5ch capable of 3.1.2 so it's virtual surrounds in that sense but very effective for heights/ATMOS/DTS:X. he's still to put up his HT that time and he asked me to use it in the meantime. later on, he changed his mind. so hindi na niya ako binayaran sa abono ko ng AVR hehe okay lang naman since ako din naman gumamit since day 1 =)
RZ720 and NR474 uses the same amplification and DAC -- though RZ series is more powerful and may be using more premium parts and some added functions not present in NR series. for my purpose and use-case, I find them in the same tune as I'm using the same speakers set that I have.
this time around, I'd planning to pursue a different path -- yes, it may be another downgrade path but not necessarily (and hopefully not) towards the darker side of movie HD-audio experience hehehe
good luck and congratz with your RZ820 sir! ganda nyan and it's even more powerful than my previous 720.

Sir mhacman, good luck on the new adventure!

You can try Lazada. Onkyo remote replacement is available. Bought the remote since the volume controls in the original remote is not working anymore. Other functions works also in the replacement remote.

Mga sir, anong amp brand ba ang the best if i will use it 100% for movies via netflix? I only have 5.1 setup and I have no more space to expand or put new speakers (masters bedroom kasi). I dont care about the music quality (since i wont use it for audio). However, i sure like it to have new features/technology like airplay 2 and perhaps voice command. (not sure if I like the wireless speaker feature - HEOS and the like)
Should i go for Onkyo, Denon, Pioneer, etc? Thanks

I finally replaced my Onkyo 608 with and Onkyo 686. I took home a Marantz NR-1609 for a week and then I got the Onkyo 686 to compare. Honestly I could have lived with the Marantz though the remote control of the amp would annoyingly turn on my Cambridge integrated amp. So I had to reach for the Cambridge remote to turn it off before I could start watching movies. :P
While the Marantz has less power than the Onkyo (50 watts compared to 100 watts) they were good enough to drive my Klipsch speakers to loud levels. The Audyssey of the Marantz was a little more sophisticated than the AccuEQ of the Onkyo. However the default sound of Audyssey MultEQ had boosted midrange and rolled off highs. It made my Klipsch speakers lose their identity. You could change the Audyssey EQ setting to "Flat" insted of "Reference" to gain back the high frequencies though this setting sounded a bit harsh. The AccuEQ gets it right by "keeping" the sound identity of my Klipsch speakers and it also "flattened" the bass response of my subwoofers.
I also contemplated on getting the Denon avr-x2500h though this costs about 8k more than the Onkyo.

best to use banana plugs for safety's sake... or if AVR/speaker only has the spring clip, either you sold the wire strands or use an interconnects intended for spring clips (forgot how it's called)

Just want to revive this thread.
My close to 9 years old Onkyo 809 acted up a couple of days back. Suddenly lost audio.Tried all possible fixes I can do as video is normal but without sound using all sources including FM tuner. I was forced to do the hard reset twice but still no sound. I tried doing Audyssey set up but its not working anymore.
It looks like it needs serious repair already that will cost me a lot.

Never gave me any problem except when I needed to replace the HDMI cables. I got it for 41k when it was being sold locally for around 70k I think. The sad part is I can not afford to buy an equivalent model anymore,which I believe is the RZ 8 series

Good news for you Weng.
All 809s manufactured from 2009 to 2012 was acknowledged by Onkyo to be problematic, having the same problem of losing sound. Onkyo offered I think to repair for free(to be sent to the US) up until Dec 2018. Sad that the RZ 840 is at least 60k something I cant shell out anymore.

At first, the cost seemed too much but when we heard the sound after the repair and it's like it was upgraded to the next level. The amp became more controlled and still authoritative. We enjoyed watching concerts with this amp. Also, the HDMI board does not run hot as it used to.
Not found ang lumalabas.

Also, another tip on the 809, don't let dust gather on the HDMI board as this also causes it to malfunction. The HDMI board is located on top next to the casing grill.

Yan yung Toyama yan ang service center ng Onkyo. Yung isang kaibigan ni refer ako sa tech na Toyama na magaling daw gumawa 4k ang singil sa akin labor and materials baka sa Sunday ko pa home service.

The HDMI boars also handle the audio I/O of the receiver. In the case of my friend, wala din problema yung video. Nawala din yung audio niya and after the board replacement and firmware upgrade ok na yung unit niya.

bga issue, palit hdmi board , reballing or change the chipset with DTS logo on top
palit hdmi board very expensive just buy a second hand avr with upgraded features
reballing without changing the chipset just a temporarily fix it will only last 1 to 2 years

HDMI board replacement around 15k daw. The RZ 840, which is the current equivalent of the 809 is around 63k. Both I can not afford at the moment.

Mga sir,
Question regarding no sound using ARC sa Onkyo 393. Ang connection ko is Receiver(ARC) to TV(ARC). Naka on yung ARC sa amp and yung audio ko sa tv is ARC rin ang pinili ko. hdmi 2.0 cable ang gamit ko.
-
^have you enabled the ARC feature sa TV audio settings? sometimes its the hdmi connection. try to use another cable to isolate.

I have plan on buying a second hand onkyo trsr602 receiver, only problem it doesn't have a remote control.
Is it possible all the function can be done manually on the panel.

Setting it up yes but its a pain to do so using the front panel controls. Better get a replacement from Lazada. Its just around 300 bucks. Just adjusting the volume while you are comfortable in your chair will make the investment worth it. Onkyo remotes will work with different models. Just get the one that is within the model range (6xx series)

Good Evening po! My Onkyo TX-NR609 had this check SP wire message sa panel. Have removed all the speaker cables and still when I power on, same check SP wire message. Any DIY you would recommend?
TIA!

Check SP wire now resolved.

I was really hoping Onkyo would get acquired prior to them declaring bankruptcy.
Since a merger or acquisition did not materialize, Onkyo might end up like how Sansui did. :(

Need advise lang po. I have an TX NR545 that can decode dolby atmos. Capable naman syang maglabas ng DTS HD Master. Ang problem lang walang sound na lumalabas. Using VLC player no sound but can decode DTD HD Master. Sa KODI dinadowngrade nya to DTS only. Ano po kayang pwedeng gawin? Does firmware update will help? Salamat.

There is a new model of Onkyo receiver that arrived in the Philippines, Onkyo 696. The Onkyo company that went bankrupt is not the company that makes AV Receivers.
