Digital camera reviews of Onkyo TX-SR608 7.2-Channel Home Theater Receiver (Black)
Digital camera Review: 3 D Ready
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this Onkyo because I am considering 3-D in my home. I own the 606 and the 607 models in other rooms of my home. When I upgrade the main home theatre room, I move the current model into the other rooms to get these great sounds to my other areas of enjoyment. With the never ending format wars, it doesn't pay to buy a 3-D TV or 3-D Blu-Ray until they get it that all Blu-Ray 3-D Movies can be watched on any brand of tv or blu-ray player. I haven't found thru my research, that the HI DEF Sounds are going to change before that happens.
Setup was easy, you may use your 1.3 HMDI Cables until you get the other parts to the 3-D puzzle, replace with 1.4 cables when you make the final upgrade to 3-D and still get the pleasure of enjoyment now. The only quirk was that the sound has to be turned up louder than my older 607 model to get the outstanding sound that this receiver can provide. My normal sound spot on the 607 was around the 40 volume area, now it is 55 to 60 to get that outstanding sound on the 608. This 608 is THX where the 607 wasn't and that is the only reason that makes sense you need to turn it up louder to get the results I want. Great Receiver from Onkyo.
The only weakness of the receiver is that the HDMI female connections are weak and sometimes you don't get the switch from Cable TV to Blu-Ray without facing issues. I have had this on the 606 and 607. I am hoping that after usage of this new one, the same issue doesn't come up on the 608 and they have solved this problem.
I do recommend this Receiver, great sound, great price and great enjoyment of Home Theater fun.
Summary of Onkyo TX-SR608 7.2-Channel Home Theater Receiver (Black)
Sure, we call it an ?entry-level? A/V receiver. But when you witness the full potential of the TX-SR608, you?ll know the level you?re entering is far beyond the ordinary. For a start, you get six of the latest HDMI 1.4a inputs for simple hook-up of all your high-def sources. HDMI 1.4a also brings compatibility with the new 3D video format, as well as an Audio Return Channel from your display back to the receiver. Complementing HDMI on the input front, you have an analog RGB video input for connecting your PC, and a Universal Port for Onkyo peripherals. All video sources, regardless of resolution, can be upscaled to big and beautiful 1080p via HDMI and Faroudja DCDi Cinema. Audio processing incorporates quality Burr-Brown DACs, lossless Dolby and DTS codecs, and the expanded surround formats of Audyssey DSX and Dolby Pro Logic IIz. Three-stage inverted Darlington circuitry and jitter-cleaning technology work to ensure extremely precise and faithful amplification. In recognition of the TX-SR608?s outstanding A/V prowess, it has been awarded THX Select2 Plus Certification.Combo Receivers
