Nice to be back after almost 5 years. My last review was in 2005. Almost 2 years back I purchased an ONKYO TX SR606 , 7.1 AV receiver. 90 w x 7 channels discreet output with a output for subwoofer.
I got it on a deal with matching 6 ohm floor mounted speakers ( 5.1 ) from Jamo. and a 200 W powered subwoofer.
the same evening I set it up and I was so impressed. Home movie watching was never so impressive.. ever.
My HD cable TV, my ps3 game console, dvd player, all provided HDMI signals to the receiver, 4 HDMI inputs, available, and one HDMI goes to the TV just to provide digital video signals.
The AVR had no trouble handing full HD, without any issues, and the sound was clean both while playing 5.1 video/movies, or playing 2.1 audio.
the best part is 2500 AED ( Abt 35, 000 INR ) including speakers.
Only 2 issues, no 1080 p upscaling. and no learning remote. The standard remote can identify leading brands and you can configure them, but lesser know brands don't work.
One more problem, no networking capabilities, but then with the price you cant complain.
so there you go..
any configuring issues, please write to me at hari75@gmail.com, for a quick reply.
