This looks like a Costco-only (even though the resellers have marked it up and resell it on Amazon and eBay) of the TX-NR6100:

https://www.onkyousa.com/product/...-receiver/

The dynamic power output and all features are identical aside from the THX cert missing from the Costco model. I would think that it is essentially the same thing less THX.

Great deal. I had just talked a friend into a NR5100 (which is $488 on Amazon). Fortunately, I was able to save him from that mistake.

You won't check all of these boxes in this price range with anything reputable.

Ports 1-3 are labeled 8K which means they do 4K 120hz

Buyer beware! Onkyo has a history of HDMI port issues and their warranty dept is not very easy to work with. I have a 4ish year old Onkyo 686 with intermittent HDMI issues that make me crazy. I'm saving for something else.
+1 for this. I've had multiple die and switched to Denon as a result.

Some folks will claim it was years ago that they had the issues, but my last one was fairly recent and the warranty process was atrocious.

There isn't much out there with a worse reputation than Onkyo. Pyle? Rockville? The only saving grace is that you can purchase this from Costco and double the warranty with their Visa card. There's a good reason Onkyo was sold off.
This receiver is only rated at 90 watts per channel into two channels. It's definitely not a power house.

Why can't they say HDMI 2.1 in the specs ?
Does it have Dirac ?

I have this receiver and the Pioneer VSX-LX305. Both are great, but has anyone else noticed they seem to "click" more than other receivers, like every half hour or so? My previous receivers didn't click this often, including previous Pioneers. Is it just a characteristic of current Onkyo/Pioneer receivers, or something worth looking into? The receivers work flawlessly otherwise.
This receiver makes those relay "clicks" far more than any receiver I've owned. It's not frequent, but it definitely makes those clicks depending on what audio codecs are used. Otherwise I've reviewed this receiver in a previous thread and have nothing but good things to say about it overall.

I picked this up a few months ago when I upgraded to 5.1.2 and it has been wonderful. It passes through 4k 120hz VRR flawlessly to a PS5 and Series X.

As other users have mentioned, it does "click" occasionally, but nothing changes on screen when that happens. It's also worth mentioning that this unit has a fan and additional heatsinks on the HDMI board when previous generations did not.

I have a Bose satellite 24 system and want to replace the Bose receiver with this and use the Bose speakers. Would this work well with them? Thanks in advance

I think those use some pripriotary connector, there is also the problem of the reciever cant power the speakers because they are a very low ohm rating, very common with htib systems sold in the 2000's and early 2010's.

Imagine still complaing about Onkyo HDMI issues in 2022.

I had a Denon die, couldn't get it addressed through their warranty, and ended up with an Onkyo that's been humming along for a few years without issue. Stuff like that happens with every single receiver manufacturer.
