Customer reviews

Open the box before your ability to return to Amazon runs out 1
I received this as a gift and didn't open the box because I didn't have anywhere to put it until after the 30 days to return to Amazon expired. The CD/DVD drawer on the unit didn't work. I couldn't register the unit with Onkyo (required to get warranty work) because they didn't have a record of the serial number (?). The unit had a date of manufacture of 2005 - it was bought in mid-2007 so this was kind of odd. It was very difficult to get the unit in - the place was over fifty miles away and was open during work hours. Not only was the power unit broken and had to be replaced but the inside of the unit was dirty. There is a good chance I paid a new price for a refurbished unit that was never repaired. The stereo sounds good but now I hope nothing else goes wrong since the warranty expired before I heard it play the first CD.

A good compromise 5
I am happy I bought this set. It is versatile and has a fine sound. The unit is compact, the sound is full-sized. The good things I read in reviews of this item are true for the unit I received. Plus, I can not believe that what I hear in theater listening mode is coming from only two speakers.

Better Than Most Costing Substantially More!!! 5
Got mine for $93 on clearance at Circuit City who seems to have a policy of dropping everything at least 60% if it hangs around for a year or more. I originally thought of buying it at the previous sale of $199 but was glad I waited and got it for $106 less!

This unit replaces a previous Onkyo that still played like a champ but couldn't handle SACD or MP3s, let alone video DVDs.

So far, so good. Digests everythings I put in the CD drawer although it has a nasty tendency not to show how many songs are on a disk nor does it show titles and artists unless you know how to manipulate the remote for the on screen menu.

Speaking of such, be aware that the remote is a monster of 50 or more buttons that Albert Einstein couldn't figure out.

Sound reproduction is good and the CD player seems quiet with the only detected hiss being on an analog CD made from an old vinyl record (so I imagine most of the noise was from the vinyl original and not the CD).

By the way, if you want deeper, booming bass than you had been opt for the subwoofer. Theatre mode does right fine for me in that respect.

As always, a class act from Onkyo and, by the way, it comes with 1 year warranty! May not sound like much, but most only come with 90 days!

Sound is just not for me 3
I recently purchased this and while the components all seem to be very well made, the sound just was not for me. It seemed as though the reproduction of the music was based upon what someone thought I (the public) would like. It was very digital sounding, very compressed, lacking any warmth. I have to say that what came out of the speakers just did not seem to sound real to me. The only thing that was half way decent to my ears was listening to some classical music on the radio. Trying to listen to the Beatles and Bob Dylan and even newer band recordings was just upsetting.
I guess I was spoiled by my 30 year old analog-based vintage Scott Receiver which had recently stopped working. I inherited the Scott receiver from my brother after he left for college (Thanks Paul!). I think I am going to have to get that thing fixed afterall- or buy a vintage receiver somewhere else. Even with my newer cheap Sony speakers it sounded a hundred times better then the Onkyo.
The moral of the story: If you grew up with analog sound (vinyl records and old receivers) you should think twice about getting this Onkyo system.

Mechanically loud disc player 2
I was pretty excited to get this stereo. I've been researching for quite awhile and was very impressed by the reviews of this product and had high expectations, especially with copy from the manufacturer like this: "Imagine turning up the volume and filling your entertainment room with noise-free, impressively powerful, true-to-life sound." So naturally i assumed that i would be getting a stereo that would produce wonderful sound for some of the quiet music i listen to. I like loud, aggressive music and I also love really quiet stuff, too, so i was pretty disappointed when set the Onkyo up and put on a quiet cd (Baird Hersey and Prana, "Eternal Embrace") and in the quiet moments all i could hear was a VERY LOUD disc mechanism spinning the cd. Sort of ruined the whole experience... I hoped that it was just new and needed to settle in but after a few hours of play it has not settled one bit and has even taken to clicking with each spin of the disc. Yuck!

Also, the speakers, as mentioned in some of the other reviews, obviously need to be "worked out" as they are bound very tightly and it made listening a bit tiring.

So, back to the search, 'cause this baby ain't it.
