Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Great product but I hope you're a gadget lover...
The sound quality from this Onkyo is amazing. The room is about 18'x25' and sounds as much like a mini-theater as I could ever imagine. I'm going to do a pro/con list as far as my experience has gone:
Pro:
1. Wiring was really easy to hook up. I use very low gauge speaker wire (which means its thick and well shielded) and the "screw knob" connections on this receiver accepted them without a problem. My former Sony had the little clamp-type connections and those were a pain.
2. The remote is truly universal. While it's not the most attractive or well designed piece of plastic, it was very easy to configure it to all my devices (Sony Blu-ray, Time Warner cable, Sony DVR, Sony 5 disc DVD changer and 47" Toshiba Regza HDTV). I was finally able to put away all those remotes whose functions could not be 100% mapped to a universal remote.
3. Once it was completely configured, the first bit of sound was deafening. This receiver can pump out some sound. And it's very high quality, crisp, clean sound. You definitely don't want to start at "+0 dB" when you turn on something loud.
4. Overall, a good looking product, great price and amazing functionality.
Cons:
1. Other people have said it, and hence the title of this post - the instructions are horrid. I hope you like messing with gadgets, because it's easier to set it up without the manual. If you insist on using the manual, skip the first two pages of the setup dealing with audio and go ... Read More
Rating: - First Impressions
The Onkyo TX-SR705 Receiver at this point is a significant step up from my previous Receiver. I have only had the receiver a short time and that is the only reason for the four star rating. The initial setup was easy and the sound quality is 30% better than the previous receiver. I would recommend this receive to anyone who wants to take the next step in their home theater.
Rating: - Excellent receiver for the price
For my second media room I selected step down verson of Onkyo and I am not disappointed. It can produce quality sound I say 95% of what I get from first Onkayo receiver model #875 I got last year for more than twice the price. I recommend it highly.
Rating: - It's awesome if you don't know how to read...
What a great device. I *stole* mine for $400 on a one-day sale. Unreal! I didn't want the silver face, but hey...I saved $300!!
That aside, lets talk about this unit. Most of the amazon reviews I read made me invest in this great device and let me tell you, it was worth it! I cannot rate this device as well as others who precede me, however I can say that this lived up to my standards of quality I was hoping for from a prosumer device like this one.
The sound from this unit is...unreal. I purchased all Polk speakers for the 7.1 surround and I am not sorry. It's a great unit. I'll do a quick PRO/CON list here:
PROS:
It sounds great. It delivers music quality in a stunning way. It switches all my HDMI videos flawlessly and decodes everything automatically. I love it! It's effortless for me to enjoy my entertainment system. I connected:
1) HDTV Samsung TV (HDMI)
2) Sony BluRay 350 player (HDMI)
3) TiVo HD XL (HDMI)
4) Computer/Karaoke (RCA)
5) Wii (RCA)
6) MythTV box (RCA)
So when the BluRay player downmixes to PCM bitstream, the Receiver decodes and displays properly (most make the mistake of decoding on the BluRay player so the amp never tells you what is really playing) The THX on this unit REALLY BRINGS IN the rear surround. WOW! My favorite setting is the THX Neural7.1 setting which takes a stereo input (Wii,Computer,etc) and converts to 7.1. HOLY COW WOW! It's VERY accurate too. Wii artifacts ... Read More
Rating:  - Not as clear as it should be
When comparing to a pioneer vx27thx it does not have the sound quality you I would have expected for hdmi connections and 7.1 sound.The clarity was just not there even with a blue ray player.It did not have the crispness or bass for quality sound reproduction even with all klipsch speakers it was not good.The only good thing was the microphone that eases the speaker calibration.Thank God that amazons return policy is THE BEST!!!!!
