The sound is crystal clear and forceful, driving my older high-current Signet speakers in the front and 3 NHTs in the back (6.1)in an 18 foot long room.
It takes a while to figure out all the default audio options (6 pages in the manual) but the manual is pretty well written.
Yes, the top of the receiver gets pretty hot but the Onkyo website says that is normal. It's not too hot to put your hand on.
The remote is logically layed out and, although not backlit, the input selector keys light individually. The lettering on the keys are film decals and don't look like they will last a long time.
Connectivity is great and even has a digital front Aux input.
I have wireless headphones so when the spouse wants to watch primetime in an adjoining room, I can watch/listen to whatever on the Onkyo. If you use solely HDMI and/or digital cables for the sound, analog audio is not going to be available for the wireless headphones. Ended up hooking up analog (RCA) audio cables from the Satellited box, DVD, and TV in addition to the digital connections and used the Tape Out on the receiver to feed the headphone unit. It works and the wife is happy.
Got a great sale price from Amazon or I would have purchased the 706 model. Glad I got the 806 for the additional features.
