    Video quality is excellent, and indeed a standard definition feed from a DVD player demonstrated greater clarity on our 720p projector via the 906's processing than did a direct connection. The sound quality with movies also impresses - it's gutsy and dynamic, if a little 'in-your-face'. Action movie enthusiasts will love it! Such traits also characterise the 906's performance with music; unless you like rock or dance, the Sony's presentation will perhaps be more to your... Read more

    Onkyo spared no features or functions in this piece, nor did they skimp anywhere else for that matter. Seven 145-watt amplifiers are inside, as well as state of the art HQV Reon-VX video processing with scaling to 1080p. The TX-NR906 is THX Ultra2 Plus-certified and allows for source-specific ISF video calibration to maximize the performance of each and every video source. Four-to-two HDMI 1.3a switching allows switching between two displays for systems that might... Read more

    One of the hardest things we'll ever do will be giving the TX-NR906 back to Onkyo. Movie soundtracks will blow you away if you have a good speaker system, and even music can sound stunning on this big monster. It's not often that we fall in love with a piece of equipment, but the TX-NR906 is the answer to our technological prayers Read more

    Replaced my vintage Onkyo 909Pro (pro logic- mono surround) with this receiver. Using it in a home theatre setup with a Panasonic PT-AE3000U projector. The sound quality is excellant & complements the beautiful picture perfectly. I am running Polk speakers & a M&K subwoofer. So far there is nothing I do not like about it. As far as pros, the learning remote is nice. Also the on-screen setup display is great & the ability to rename your inputs displayed on the front of... Read more

    First off, I'm not a tech freak but I do consider myself above average.. I have had Blu-ray Players since the beginning of them.. I have a Sony BDP-S1 & a Sharp HP-20u.. This 906 was easier to set up than I thought it was going to be.. Hooked up my Sony Blu-Ray but couldn't get HD sound.. Called Onkyo they were great he tried to change the settings on the Sony but it still wouldn't get HD sound.. Long story short he said some earlier Models of Blu-Ray players wouldn't... Read more

    This is one excellent A/V Receiver. The only down side that I've encountered thus far is it runs HOT... Your really going to need an external fan blowing on it keep it cool. I'm pushing 6- Bose BLACK double cube speakers - series IV and Bose VCS10 Center Channel, to make up the 7.1 (AR 15" Sub-woofer). My friends, it just doesn't get any better than this. My neighbors keep me informed on how well the speakers are working, LOL. A bit pricey but what can I say. Would I do... Read more

    Sounds better than the Sony 3000ES it replaces. I can now enjoy the dynamics of 7.1 Surround Sound at low or high voumes. The Automatic Mic. Calibration does a very good job at setting the speaker DB's etc., only had to adjust the Sub a bit up, and the Center a bit up. Overall, very very pleased with my purchase! Read more
