Review 1 of 2

Price Paid:  $89.00 from shoponkyo.com

Summary:
I agree with Smata67's review. Yes it only has 1/1 digital ins and outs but again for the price, you can't complain. This is an awesome lil unit. I use it in my bedroom with 4 JBL Control1Xtreme speakers and an Athena ASP-300 sub. The center channel is a Celestion CSC. Awesome sound quality, excellent Tuner, well laid out remote. would like it back lit though! Clean presentation and good channel separation. A can't miss even at retail !!

Strengths:
Price, sound quailty, tuner, remote

Weaknesses:
There are no electrical outlets/plugs on the rear panel. needs 1 more set of Opt/coax in/outs.Be nice to have remote back lit!

Review 2 of 2

Price Paid:  $90.00 from shoponkyo.com

Summary:
I wanted an inexpensive, high quality DD receiver and got it with this unit. The sound is truly impressive, very clear and clean, the wattage fully adequate for my 400 sf home theater room.

This receiver also has an exceptional FM tuner, great separation and clarity. I listen primarily to OTA classical when not enjoying CDs and this tuner is just plain stunning.

I would give it a solid 4.5 stars, falling short a bit due to the fact that it only has a single optical and single digital coax capability.

The Onkyo lineup overall offers great receivers of excellent value, particularly when purchased as refurbished units. Mine was obtained from shoponkyo.com, looked new. Would have happily paid full price for this receiver, though.

Strengths:
Excellent sound, crystal clear.

Weaknesses:
Only two digital audio outputs: one optical, one digital coax.

Similar Products Used:
A number of vintage receivers and tuners (Pioneer SX-780, Marantz 2285B, Sansui QRX-4500, Technics SA-GX490, Kenwood KT-8500).
