Was a tough call between the Onkyo and Denom, but in the end, decided to go with the Onkyo based off this comment:
https://www.avsforum.com/threads/...t-61229124

The extra HDMI out port will come in handy in the future.

I agree with this person's review. I had both and replaced the Denon AVR S760H for the Onkyo TX-NR6050 because there are issue with HDMI handshaking with CEC turned on, limit power output, and I had an odd issue where Zone2 wouldn't stay disabled. I think the Zone2 might be more related to the aftermarket remote I was using to control the receiver, but I just wanted the feature off.

The Onkyo has more power and it sounds cleaner/brighter to me than the Denon, which I prefer for music and TV. However, I'll give a nod to the Denon that the surround sound effects seem to be more immersive and/or play louder where I cannot seem to get the Onkyo to do that. Otherwise, I think the Onkyo is better in many other respects, especially for configuration via PC (see this post).

If you still have your hearts set on the Denon receiver, disable the CEC features and you can avoid that headache. Otherwise I've found this Onkyo receiver to be more reliable for CEC features and more powerful overall. The only other call out is, you might hear clicks from the Onkyo receiver when switching audio formats which are quite loud, but it doesn't happen super often.

Anyway, hope that helps others!

Thanks for posting this, I just re-bought this yesterday (returned multiple times in the past due to indecisiveness and being broke).
A little price history: $450 was the original SRP of the Denon AVR S760H before the semiconductor shortage and US inflation raised the SRP to $500.

I like Yamaha. My current Yamaha VX 671 is with me since last 12 years. Still works well... Of course it's not 4k receiver but I only use it for audio to drive my speakers while watching a movie or playing Xbox

I just blow up the back panel pic. I see 3 inputs labeled 8K and both outputs labeled 8K. So I would think those are all HDMI 2.1.

From what i can tell there are 3 HDMI 2.1 inputs. All of them support HDR10 but only 3 support the full 40gbs bandwidth.

Thank you! I bought the Denon (love it!!) 27 days ago. I just submitted for the online price adjustment. Saved me $50.

Onkyo hasn't changed the looks of their budget receiver line in a really long time. This 6050 looks just like my 2015 TX-NR646 and 2017 TX-NR676. I actually tried the Yamaha TSR-700 and the Denon S750H but ended up returning them. Really wish I would have jumped on the TSR-7850 before Yamaha discontinued them.

Nothing imo. 7850 is older tech. I think maybe that user prefers the looks but the TSR-700 looks very clean and nice compared to most old school looking receivers.

I just prefer the way the previous models looked and operated. My TSR-700 was really laggy and I couldn't get used to the robot look. I purchased the TSR700 to replace my Yamaha RX-V679. Unfortunately I sold the 679 the day before I picked up the TSR700Frown
