Onkyo TX-SR702 - AV receiver - 7.1 channel

The TX-SR702 is the direct descendant of one of Onkyo's most well crafted receivers. And the legacy of outstanding sound performance bundled with a full range of digital format encoding and superior engineering has rightfully earned it the THX Select stamp of approval. Packing 100 watts per channel, more than enough to drive the most demanding of home theaters, the TX-SR702 now sports an extra channel - seven in all - to further enliven the complete entertainment experience. But how do you align such power with the unique dynamics of your home listening environment? You don't. Set up with microphone using theater room calibration automatically adjusts the parameters of the audio output with the confines of your room. With Powered Zone 2 for audio listening in other rooms, Pure Audio Mode and component upconversion with TBC, the TX-SR702 is your home theater's powerhouse.
Customer Review: Great receiver until it failed
This was the heart of my audio-video system for two or three years and I was very happy with it when it was working. Unfortunately one day it simply stopped outputting sound. No power surge, no abuse, didn't even touch it -- it just failed. It still powers on, but won't give me any sound. Not even with headphones. From a bit of web searching it looks like this is a common problem. I don't know about all of Onkyo but this receiver model is certainly not reliable. Not recommended.
Customer Review: I LOVE This Receiver!!!!! Onkyo has a true winner!!!!
I absolutely love this receiver!! Has amazing sound and everything that I need for a reasonable price. With 7 digital audio inputs and 2 digital outputs, you shouldn't have to worry about having enough hookup spots like on many cheaper receivers or those from a year or two ago. ALso has 3 compnent inputs and 1 output for your DVD or HDTV hookup. A great feature is the video upconversion. This allows you to plug in a yellow video cord from your VCR (or anything else), and upconvert the signal into a compnent output for better quality. It isn't as good as if it were a direct compnent output but it looks better than a standard yellow video cable would. The THX certification shows that the sound quality is fantastic. I would definately recommend this receiver. The only thing that I don't like is that it takes a few seconds to play sound from a DVD when you first switch to DVD mode, other than that this is close to a perfect unit!!
