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!!!!:)

Yap, thanks to amazon and the sellers have nice mark down on onkyo's. spec wise panalo din, i did some comparing mga 2 weeks hahaha

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.

My 809 detects all my hdmi sources (PS3, optoma projector, Pansonic BD player, Pioneer DVD player, Mede8er 500X2)

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)

bro, pwede rin ba mag-avail ng "satisfaction guarantee protection cover" offer mo? 

[adonph]

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

[Onkyo606]

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..

[adonph]

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

FYI, models TX-NR509 & TX-NR3009 are not included in the recall.

press release:
http://www.onkyousa.com/press_releases.cfm?id=253


serial nos. are indicated through a sticker on the box. for the affected models, upon delivery you can have it checked immediately (without even having to open the package) to see if it's affected by the recall. in case it is, just process the return ASAP.

[Clondalkin]

Hopefully, you have someone in the US to do this check for you prior to shipping to the Philippines.

Noted..  will think hard whether to purchase this or wait for the upgrade to the 3009..

[rthirtyfourgtr]

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 users, any of you tried pairing it with a power amp? I'm thinking of getting a bada DV500 5ch power amp. Will it make a big difference in performance, quality, etc. Thanks!

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.

[jao143]

i haven't heard any system using a bada extpoweramp, pm sir vtech3, he is using this with his 809

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.

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
