Review Of The Onkyo Tx-sr607 Home Theater System

Because this is a modern digital audio controller, you may experience some legacy compatability issues. Make sure that you've got the adapter cables (if necessary) before trying to hook everything up. Nothing makes a home theater project more frustrating than having to constantly run to the electronics store to get more parts. Setup is pretty easy, with an on screen menu that will walk you through all the steps.

The sound of the Onkyo is amazing; it is crystal clear, so clean and sounds so open. It will make audio sound like you have never heard it before. So crisp and clear! If you choose to use it to listen to music, you will hear the words of the song more clearly than you have heard them before. You will hear the difference immediately.

The Onkyo TX SR607 works at its best when it's got the full seven speaker array, it does however, support fewer speakers as needed (this is something that's been standard for digital home theater systems for years, but it's nice they didn't cut the feature out). Even with left, right and subwoofer, the Onkyo's sound quality is impressive. Because of the HDMI interface, it'll also play nicely with your Blu-Ray player, giving you cinema quality sound to go with cinema quality movies.

One place where there's a drawback with this system is that the HDMI control doesn't quite meet the full backwards compatibility mode of the HDMI specification. It's close - and we were eventually able to get it up and running, but CEG HDMI proved to be a bit challenging to configure.

If push comes to shove, you can always get an IR repeater, but it's worth it to cruise the web forums and read how other people have solved their configuration problems before you shell out for another piece of electronics gear.

What sets the Onkyo apart is the value, small size and stunning sound quality. It's fairly easy to set up (HDMI interface glitches notwithstanding). It's strongly recommended. It's a very feature rich device, and of very high manufacturing quality.

As to the richness of the feature set, we're still figuring out what all the combinations of buttons on the Onkyo's remote can do. We're having fun with it, and suspect you will as well.
