Discount Onkyo TX-SR806 7.1 Channel Home Theater Receiver (Black)

First off, one problem with the new 806, Amazon is currently in the process of shipping me a replacement unit. The receiver had an issue. I contacted Onkyo support, (On a Sunday afternoon, so the reviews I read about lack of support may be inaccurate), and could not get the issue resolved after many resets and setups. I am convinced the receiver was dropped and damaged during shipment. Chalk one up for good old UPS. All of that being said, and this is coming from an Onkyo buyer for a few years, this receiver is awesome and in my opinion the best bang for the buck. I have had Onkyo equipment in the past, some even with vacuum tubes, and have had almost perfect luck with them all. If you are looking for an all around receiver, which you want for music also, this will blow your mind. I cannot confirm this blue spot issue I read about in some reviews which apparently affects game consoles, my gaming is done on the pc. My picture is perfect in my eyes no matter what the source. I put about as much faith in customer reviews as I do in someday hitting the power ball, everybody has one. I have seen equipment beat up in a user review which reads, The TV does an excellent job with a 1080I or 1080P signal however its display of a standard 480 signal leaves something to be desired, really? No piece of home theatre equipment is going to make everyone happy. Do not let people knocking this unit because of the remote control? (If you are into this enough to write a review what are you worried about using the device remote for? Or do you like having 4 or 5 remotes laying on the end table? ever hear of harmony?) sway you one way or the other. The same goes for reviews that knock the unit for a feature or features it does not have. It is all there in black in white for you to research and read before you buy the unit in the first place. If you want something that is 100% perfect, and does everything possible, get out the checkbook and throw out 5 or 6 thousand dollars. Good luck, I will still be able to find you some negative reviews. The bottom line is for the price this is a rock solid piece of equipment and no matter where you go you are going to find for the most part that the 806 is highly rated. With Amazons customer service and return policy how can you go wrong.Get more detail about Onkyo TX-SR806 7.1 Channel Home Theater Receiver (Black).
