Regardless if you decide to buy this particular unit or not, one KEY specification you should locate prior to purchase with any home "A/V type" Receiver:

Bolded effect added by me for emphasis -

Power output (All channels):

200 W/Ch (6 ohms, 1 kHz, 10% THD,1-ch driven)

90 W/Ch (8 ohms, 20 Hz-20 kHz, 0.08% THD,
2-ch driven, FTC)

Hope this information is insightful / helpful.

God damnit. I got burned hard by a bad HDMI board from Onkyo years ago. It was a giant recall that the old heads in here will remember. But for this price I'm thinking of rolling the dice again. SMH I'll never learn.

Slim to none.

This is the cheapest I've ever seen this receiver.

Quote from TDIPWR :
Can you explain what that means. I am just used to seeing one figure. For instance I think my current receiver is like 145w per channel. Can't tell if the 200w is a real number or it's really 90w...
This information indicates "at it's best" this amplifier will drive 1 channel at 200 watts at 10% total harmonic distortion (which is enough distortion to be pretty easily heard), and 2 channels at 90 watts (maximum).

Hmm 90 watts seems kinda low right?

No much of a slick deal. only $50 cheaper than the standard price. Im starting to wonder where SD gets their prices

https://www.walmart.com/ip/Onkyo-.../304928405
You sent a link to a Walmart 3rd party seller and its $65 more. Normal price is around $400 on Amazon, etc. So I think its a good deal.

It really depends on several factors, some of the primaries for me are: 1) how efficient are the speakers it will be driving and 2) how big of a room will it be trying to fill with sound. In a small to medium sized room with 90dB or higher speakers this unit would probably do fairly well, other than that, I certainly would be looking for more power for "all channels driven".

I agree, this always gets exaggerated and blown out of proportion.

I would add how well your speakers are implemented, room environment & your preferred listening levels.

Let's not forget something people often bring up, just let your sub handle all the bass.

I got this open box from a big seller on eBay for $250. For the price, it can't be beat.

It does have some quirks:

1. The calibration doesn't detect speaker distances properly (sets them close to 0 when they are 10 feet away). You have to mount the mic to a proper tripod or it will sometimes not even detect a particular speaker.

2. The AutoEQ doesn't seem to do much based on using a UMIQ-1 and REW to compare before and after. It does very minimal adjustments.

3. For me, the receiver adds around 150ms in latency when using any bitstream audio (even when I set lipsync delay to 0ms). This happens even with Auto Lipsync setting off. Not sure if it's an issue in the latest firmware or something else. Pure PCM audio has only maybe 30-40ms latency which is great.

On the plus side, the HDMI 2.1 ports (3 of 6 are HDMI 2.1, 40Gbps) are quite reliable and sound quality is solid.

The things I don't like (but don't know any receiver that does in this price range) is eq on the 2nd zone
Does that mean there is no EQ on the second zone? Or it's stuck on a certain setting??

Did this receiver have enough juice for a 5.1 with Rp-280fs?

Same question
My main concern is a good zone 2 output.

I had a NR709 that succumbed to the HDMI issue however I think those are long in the past. I've had this since receiver since last BF and no major issues. The current control app is much better but still not great. Occasionally needs a hard unplug when it loses internet connection (have it on a smart plug). This replaced a Pioneer VSX-90 and subjectively sounds light years better. Looking for speakers to try out the Atmos capabilities.

This is a great price. I think I paid $400 and it was worth every penny. I have mine set up with 7.1 and it's pretty amazing with movies and gaming (especially ps5).
So no issue with 4k 120hz passthrough on PS5?
