Simply Amazing!,

This review is from: Onkyo TX-NR906 7.1 Channel Home Theater Receiver (Black) (Electronics)
Simply amazing! I must say, this has to be one of the most sophisticated pieces of electronic equipment that I've ever owned. I don't even know where to begin. Did I mention this thing is amazing?
I was running a Bose Lifestyle 48 prior to this, but when I finally decided to make the most of HDMI connections, I shelved the Bose and stepped up to the ONKYO. What a breath of fresh air! There are so many features of the TX-NR906 that I like. Starting with the remote control--I'm sure it's common practice nowadays for receiver remotes to be fairly smart, but this guy is really bright. I've managed to teach it all the commands from my three main remote controls (TV, BD & CD Players), more or less, just by pointing the controllers at each other and clicking. I'm referring to commands that aren't usually part of a universal controller's arsenal. The large number of connection choices are really coming in handy, as well. I'm maxing out the HDMI inputs and have one of the two outputs connected to my TV. There's a ton of digital audio options as well. The front panel offers a number of connection choices, including a USB port for playing MP3s. Another aspect of this receiver that I really like is the fact that this system not only sounds phenomenal when playing movies, but sounds equally as incredible playing CDs or listening to music from my PC. With previous systems it always seemed like one was better than the other, but with the TX-NR906, I really feels like I'm getting audiophile quality sound from all components. Oh yeah, did I mention? HD FM radio sounds phenomenal! I don't have XM or Sirius yet, but that's on the short list of near term upgrades. There's an antennae connection for both. This receiver is the hub of my home theater. Putting things in perspective, my setup includes a Samsung LN46A750 46-Inch 1080p DLNA LCD HDTV with RED Touch of Color, Panasonic DMP-BD30K 1080p Blu-ray Disc Player, a Sony 5-Disc Carousel CD Player, Dell XPS Pentium D 3.0 GHz/3.0 GB RAM/VisionTek Radeon HD4850 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express Graphics Card, Playstation 3 80GB, Motorola digital cable box/DVR , and Aperion Audio's Intimus 5T Hybrid HD speaker system. All this, combined with the TX-NR906, really sounds and looks incredible. I'm utilizing HDMI for video on all components. I'm also supplementing the digital cable box's audio with a coaxial cable. Similarly, I'm augmenting the BD Player's audio by connecting audio cables via the multichannel jacks. I bought the TX-NR906 in October 2008 and so far, I haven't found anything I dislike. The only minor thing I will point out is with the remote control. When you are teaching it commands from your other remotes, you might have to try it a couple of times. At first, I thought that some of the commands weren't going to be able to be taught, but I stuck with it and eventually was able to teach it all commands. No big deal, just don't give up if it doesn't work right away. Whether you're watching HD TV, listening to your favorite music, watching the latest release on Blu-Ray, or playing the hottest shooter on your PC or PS3--if you have the money, this receiver is the perfect addition to any home theater.

Intense! Awesome! Feature Packed Hub of Power!,
By Stuart Floyd (Cohoes, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Onkyo TX-NR906 7.1 Channel Home Theater Receiver (Black) (Electronics)
This monster at some 55lbs is the center of my entertainment. I have a 52 120Hz Samsung HDTV, Xbox, Playstation 3, Nintendo Wii, Onkyo DVD player, HP Desktop all connected via HDMI ports being Onkyo at present is the only one to offer so many HDMI connections on one unit.
I am using 7.1 channel speakers which combined with this system put out such incredible clear sound and power driven whether the TV, the gaming systems, radio, DVD, windows Media Center, Apple itunes or Netflix via the xbox 360. Everything runs like a charm through this unit and all on one remote. However, that is another review for Logitech Harmony One Advanced Remote. As for features, they are almost endless at least from my experience. I have had nice equipment in the past but this is in mid to upper lines of fine home audio and far surpasses all of the others I had researched in this class. I have had Onkyo in the past so I was at least familiar with their products, good service and online documentation as well as the big booklets provided, but if I had questions they were easy to reach and very knowledgable. I would recommend this item to anyone who does allot of movie, music, games for a complete entertainment control center. It is costly for most but it is something that used with care and cared for will last many, many years. Like with any electronics always do allot of research from online reviews via retailers, pro reviews and of course if you find this item in a store see it, test it and ask loads of questions to make sure it's right for you and your needs or what you truly want in high end home entertainment power hub. See the endless list of superb features below. FEATURES(To make a couple of the comment complainers happy, below is OBVIOUSLY some of the info from a downloaded PDF as well as the Onkyo website, which WAS NOTED and *** at the bottom of the post, D'oh): *7.1 Channel Amplifier: The Onkyo TX-NR906 features a 145 watt x 7-channel amplifier (measured with two channels driven) into 8-ohms at 20 to 20,000 Hz with a maximum total harmonic distortion of 0.05%. *WRAT (Wide Range Amplifier Technology): This technology uses low-negative-feedback circuit topology for accurate signal reproduction, improved dynamic signal-to-noise ratio, and better delivery of power peaks. ***High Quality Transformers: The Onkyo TX-NR906 features a massive Toroidal transformer plus 2 separate transformers for audio and video processing. *Digital-to-Analog Converters (DACs): To decode and playback high-resolution recordings, this receiver is equipped with Burr-Brown 192kHz/24-bit DACs for all channels. *Vector Linear Shaping Circuitry (VLSC): Conventional D/A conversion methods reduce digital pulse noise at the conversion stage but can't remove it completely. Previously only found on Onkyo's high-end components, VLSC (Vector Linear Shaping Circuitry) employs a unique D/A conversion circuit to overcome this problem. Data is converted between sampling points and these points are joined with analog vectors in real-time to produce a smooth output wave form. The result is a virtually noiseless, smooth analog signal based on the digital source to bring out even the most subtle of nuances in your music, movie soundtracks and even MP3s. *Speaker Impedance: There is a menu adjustment for minimum speaker impedance; options are 6Ù (for speakers 6 to 16-ohms) and 4Ù (for speakers 4 or 5-ohms). *Multi-Language On-Screen Display (OSD): An OSD can be displayed on your television for easy system setup. The joystick/enter button on the remote makes display navigation and setting adjustment simple and convenient. The setup OSD is passed through all the monitor outputs (composite video, S-video, component video, and HDMI). You can select a 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratio for the monitor output so the menu is displayed properly to match your TV's screen. You can choose from several languages for the receiver's on-screen display menu: English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Swedish, or Japanese. *Component Video Switching: In addition to composite and S-Video switching, this unit can switch between high resolution component video sources. There are 3 component video inputs, each of which can be assigned to the DVD, VCR/DVR, CBL/SAT, GAME/TV, AUX 1, or AUX 2 input, and 1 component video monitor output. The component video inputs and outputs have a bandwidth of 5 Hz to 100MHz. *HDMI Switching: The TX-NR906 has four HDMI version 1.3 inputs and one HDMI version 1.3 output for connecting DVD players, HDTV set-top boxes, and other video components through the receiver to your TV or projector. The HDMI cables will pass digital audio and video. The HDMI inputs are compatible with DVI, so TVs and other displays with a DVI input can be connected using an HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable, along with audio cables (if desired). The receiver uses HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), so only HDCP-compatible components can display the picture. The HDMI inputs can accept 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, and 1080p signals. The HDMI output can be scaled; resolution can be set to Through (no scaling), Auto (resolutions not supported by the display are automatically converted), 480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p, or Source (resolution set for each source individually). Each of the HDMI inputs can be assigned to any of the six A/V inputs (DVD, VCR/DVR, CBL/SAT, GAME/TV, AUX 1, or AUX 2). *Video Upconversion and Scaling: The Onkyo TX-NR906 utilizes HQV Reon-VX technology to convert interlaced video signals to progressive scan signals. The HQV Reon-VX chip supports standard definition and high definition deinterlacing, 1080p reconstruction of film sources, filtering of jaggies and artifacts, and the reduction of random, mosquito and block (codec) noise. HQV Reon-VX also enables color region enhancement and the rendering of more than one billion colors. The Onkyo TX-NR906 will upconvert incoming analog composite video, S-video and component video signals to HDMI so you can connect all your video sources through the receiver and then to your TV via a single HDMI cable. Incoming video signals can also be scaled, up to 1080p. The receiver can also convert composite video and S-video signal to component if your television does not feature an HDMI input. ***RIHD (Remote Interactivity Over HDMI): RIHD synchronizes RIHD-compatible displays and components for integrated control via HDMI connection and use of the receiver's IR remote control. RIHD provides the following integrated operations: *Control: this function allows CEC-standard-compatible equipment connected to HDMI and RIHD-compatible equipment to be operated together with the Onkyo receiver Power Control: provides an electrical power link between the TX-NR906 and RIHD-compatible components through the HDMI connection and allows for those components to turn on or off with the receiver TV Control: allows you to control the TX-NR906 from an RIHD-compatible TV that is connected via HDMI, currently compatible with Panasonic Televisions featuring EZ Sync Built-In HD Radio: In addition the analog AM/FM tuner, the Onkyo TX-NR906 features a built-in HD AM/FM tuner. HD Radio technology brings digital radio to conventional analog AM and FM radio stations with improved sound quality, better reception, and new data services. HD Radio technology provides CD-quality sound for FM stations and FM-quality sound for AM stations. In addition, FM HD Radio stations can transmit multiple programs on the same frequency by using multicast channels. HD Radio also features text data display which includes station name, song title and artist name. HD Radio stations broadcast on the same AM and FM frequencies they've always used and you can receive them by tuning into your favorite station as normal. You can store them a presets just like standard AM and FM stations. If a tuned AM or FM station supports HD Radio technology, the receiver's display HD indicator will light up. *Satellite Ready: The Onkyo TX-NR906 features proprietary ports on the rear panel for XM and Sirius Satellite Radio connection. In addition to the following optional satellite tuners needed (sold separately), you will need a subscription to XM and/or Sirius Satellite radio. *XM Satellite Radio Ready: The receiver can be connected to the optional XM Home Mini-Tuner and Home Dock (item number 700XMTUNPK, sold separately), allowing you to receive XM Satellite Radio through the TX-NR906. You can search XM radio stations by Channel, Category or Direct Tuning. You can also choose to display the following XM information on the receiver's display - Channel Name, Channel Number, Category Name, Artist Name or Song Title. Sirius Satellite Radio Ready: The TX-NR906 can also be connected to the optional SiriusConnect Home Tuner kit (item number 607SCH1, sold separately), which allows you to receive Sirius Satellite Radio through the receiver. You can search Sirius radio stations by Channel, Category or Direct Tuning. You can also choose to display the following Sirius information on the receiver's display - Channel Name, Channel Number, Category Name, Artist Name or Song Title. iPod Compatible: The DS-A1, DS-A2, or DS-A2X Remote Interactive Dock for iPod (current item number 580DSA2X) provide an interface between an iPod digital media player and Onkyo TX-NR906. Once the iPod is docked you can control basic functions such as play, stop, and skip via the Onkyo system's RI-compatible wireless remote control. The dock also charges the battery in the iPod, and allows you to view digital photos and video on your home theater system (photo/video transfer not available with iPod classic, 3rd generation iPod nano, iPod touch, and iPhone)...

5.0 out of 5 stars
An up-to-date and excellent receiver,
By saranterry (Bellevue, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Onkyo TX-NR906 7.1 Channel Home Theater Receiver (Black) (Electronics)
An up-to-date and excellent receiver
Pros: While it has almost all current features as of 2008-2009, Onkyo TX-NR906 remains faithful to Onkyo's origin - excellent sound reproduction in stereo or surround. I thought the remote control is very functional and practical in all devices I have tried (TV, Blu-Ray player, DVR, old DVD/CD players). Cons: Onkyo TX-NR906 seems to produce more heat than others even when it is not actively operating, so it can be annoying and concerning to whom are not used to this type of receiver. Keep in mind that, unlike the old days with traditional amplifiers, today's receiver is essentially a mini-PC that performs lots calculations plus amplifying triple number of sound channels. Other thoughts: I am not sure what happened, I purchased Onkyo TX-NR906 for $1,500 in Dec-2008, but now in April-2009 it is listed as $2,190 almost everywhere. Its supply doesn't seem to be not in shortage, so it should go down as time goes by. Is there something going on that we should know? 2115|RPI5QF3XW9243;2115|R2C8T0DA6J9DNS;2115|R2Q8X1V9XRE87;
