    Onkyo's TX-SR606 receiver shows real value offering 4 HDMI inputs, upscaling and a sub-$600 price tag. Read more

    • Supports latest high-def audio formats; plenty of power; generous inputs; good value
    • 1080i upscaling could be better; remote lacks a backlight

    Product positioning in today's consumer world generally falls into three categories: budget, mid-tier, and premium. For example, BMW offers the 3-series, 5-series, and 7-series. All are nice automobiles, but with each step up in class, additional features and performance add value for the end user with a concomitant increase in price. Read more

  1. Caught Fire

    Reviewer: Rockband55, Amazon

    I've had my unit since May 2008 and sure that's a good amount of time for a receiver, but I've always had some kind of problems with this unit. Near the end of its life it wasn't selecting the proper audio signal, so I'd have to manually change it all the time. Then when I went to watch a movie last night, poof, it caught fire! There's no way they'd still warranty this, but there should've been a recall. Terrible. Won't recommend Onkyo again. Read more

    HDMI switching died and w/ out it has minimal use in today's audio/visual world. NEVER BUY ONKYO. Should have been recalled but they want nothing to do with keeping customers happy so all I do now is tell anyone to "NEVER BUY ONKYO" Read more

    • Sound was good when worked
    • ONKYO CUST service Is Crap - This died after 9 months and they offered NO help.
