I am not going to get into the technical because everyone else has. The receiver is awesome. Audio/Video HDMI switching is perfect. The Video quality is very very close to Direct connect.

I was looking at this receiver, the Pioneer 1019, the Pioneer Elite (bottom model at Best Buy), and Denon AVR-790. The Denon is tinny. The Pioneer has great picture, a little better than the Onkyo, but the sound is not the same. The Onkyo has more of a rich sound field, and you will get more out of the surround speakers with the Onkyo.

Blu-ray…………………good sound and picture quality.

Cable TV via HDMI………..good sound and picture quality.

Cinematube (Media Player)…good sound and picture quality.

Xbox via HDMI……………good sound and picture quality.

That’s right, 4 HDMI inputs, and it also has 2 more for audio only.

The receiver has really improved the quality of sound in all modes in which I use it–mostly standard DVD and TV movies plus CD and FM radio music. It matches well with the Klipsch surround speaker system we installed last year with the Denon and wondered why we did! Now we know–the sound is terrific. The Onkyo TX-SR608 has many more features than I have had time to evaluate, but so far it has been a huge improvement and seems to be a great product with lots of potential features to be discovered.

For the price and how many components this system can support, this is an excellent purchase.


or you can find them at google product or yahoo shopping
