Best bang for your buck if you are looking for a receiver that can do 4k 120Hz HDR 10-bit. You need 40Gbps bandwidth for that and if you are stuck on the old TSR 700 model Costco was selling you will be limited to 60Hz..

This might not be a big deal to many, but someone that is specifically looking for that capabilities, all the receivers are in the 700-800+ range for entry level stuff, so to have one that can do it in the $500 range is phenomenal, even though the brand ins Onkyo and is not favored as well by many die hard audiophiles.

Imo, this is a great buy, and I am someone who has spent about $15,000 on my home theater system. It's not right for me since I do 7.2.4 surround, but for someone maybe looking for high end audio in a normal family room, not like a dedicated home theater room, this is basically an awesome deal, and to have the security and backing of Costco to buy it from is even better, imo.
Go and educate yourself instead of spreading old information as if it's current. Onkyo WAS in a period of insolvency through no fault of their own. Several years ago, Onkyo's former parent company Gibson (yes, the guitars) went on a wild spending spree that forced them (Gibson) into bankruptcy and in the process left Onkyo high and dry without funding. Since Onkyo is too valuable of a company to just let die off, they were acquired late last year by a joint venture of Voxx (which owns the Klipsch brand), and Sharp Electronics. Financially, Onkyo is doing just fine now. Welcome to the year 2022.
If I understand it correctly, this would not be able to output 5.1.4 correct? What budget receivers are there that people know of that can?

Heads up the Yamaha TSR 700 is OOS as of this afternoon. I know because I was about to buy it, and it mysteriously went missing from the site—- apparently they just take the items off when OOS, as I contacted a sales rep on chat to see what was up.

Interested in your same question though, maybe I'll consider getting this instead.
Just a heads up for those who don't already know if you see the 404 page with the stuffed teddy bear, that means it's OOS. It doesn't necessarily mean it's gone for good. This receiver will also get the same page once it's sold out. Terrible website design but that's been Costco since the beginning.

I have a 5.2.2 setup but also a zone 2 for my porch. Will this receiver power both zones at the same time. Their verbiage confuses me.
No, when zone 2 is turned on, it will turn off the height speakers. There is a way around this if you want to have the same source. Get a speaker amplifier for porch and height.

I bought the Yamaha because at the time, it was in stock. And I will say, the sound is outrageously GREAT!! I play movies through the Roku, with Plex. And I cannot say enough about how it sounds.

I'm not into all of the other stuff with HDMI 2.1, I'm not a gamer, I bought it for movie playing only.

Only problem I ran into is with DirecTV Streaming box. Blu-Ray and Roku hooked up without a problem. But the DirecTV box will NOT hook up properly. I had to run the box straight to the TV, then Optimal sound to the receiver. But the DirecTV box would not hook up to my old Yamaha receiver either. I'm going to call DirecTV this weekend to get help with it.

Well even if you're not a gamer getting movies to run at a native 120hz over 60 at 4K is still a boon. Might not be applicable for everyone especially if you don't have a 4K 120hz TVs but I assume it will be more commonplace in the next few years.

I have the Yamaha with Jamo 803 center and 803 book shelf speakers. I also had the jamo 10in powered subwoofer. The sound I get out of it is outrageously great I love it. But the Yamaha is not in stock anymore, if I was you I would get this Receiver right now while it's in stock. Good luck!!

The Onkyo brand is definitely not what it used to be....
Onkyo has come back a bit, I just installed the TX-RZ50 with 7.1.2 to replace my decades old 600w 54lb HK and the Onkyo is quite nice although not quite the reserve power of the HK (lower power runs much cooler but is plenty loud and only 25lb)
Dirac live is really helpful

No...you need 9.2 to run all at the same time

Some receivers has assignable amps that you can run either/or....some of the Pioneer units from a couple of years ago come to mind like the LX502

Curiously...what happened when you connected the Direct TV box to the Yamaha receiver directly?

I bought one of each, TSR 700, be here tomorrow and just got shipping notice on Onkyo. I'll test them out and decode which one is the keeper. The Onkyo will throughput 40g but I don't Xbox so that's not that important to me, although having the ability is a plus. Yamaha screwed the pooch on that feature.

Did you pay MSRP for the Onkyo?

I have been semi eyeing that receiver to replace an older Audyssey XT32 AVR I have due to its having Dirac room correction

But..I just got spoiled when you could buy deals on AVR's for 30-45% off MSRP
Or frankly with the Fry's deals more than that off MSRP....

I have the receiver plugged into TV HDMI 2. When I plug in the directv box, it changes the TV to HDMI 1 and says there is no signal. I tried changing the HDMI back to HDMI 2 but it doesn't like it. So, I unplugged the directv, changed the receiver HDMI in to HDMI 1 on the TV. After plugging in the DirecTV again it comes up no signal and change the input on the TV to HDMI 4 this time. After that I gave up.

I looked on line for help but really couldn't fine any. No one was having this issue.

I have the LG 65" C1 and there is nothing wrong with what I'm hearing or seeing, it a absolutely gorgeous picture and awesome sound.

And for $400 to $500,ill buy another receiver if I need to. We are not pay over $1,000 for this Receiver.
