Would this be a suitable replacement of a 25 y.o 5.1 HT receiver?
I've got this Yamaha RX-V992
https://de.yamaha.com/files/downl...X-V992.pdf

My confusion is that this Onkyo doesn't seem to list the power (watts) for ALL the channels; only the front Left/Right, so I'm wondering if it can power rear Right/Left and a center channel as well.
If you look on pg 84 (specs) of the Yamaha manual above, it clearly states the RMS wattage for ALL 5 channels.

I'm probably misunderstanding this. Maybe someone can clear up

Here's the manual for this onkyo:
https://assets.onkyo-av.com/produ...04040A.pdf

specs pg 163..
I see reference only to "both channels", or "Front" but nothing for "Rear" channels, like my old Yamaha has listed in its' manual...

Quote from chanti419 :
description says 7.2ch and in details its shows 5.2.2 can anyone explain is it 7.2 channel or 5.2?
It's can be both.
7.2 is speaker based surround
5.2.2 is object based surround

Dang this or the new Denon AVR-S970H 7.2 deal for 379? I just bought this Onkyo but it seems like the Denon might be a more reliable product??
If you play in chromecast's camp, this one. Chromecast > Airplay 2 > HEOS > Amazon MRM

Love it on my Pioneer in the living room with my MA Gold setup. Denon/Marantz gives no love to chromecast.

Does it consume much power in standby mode with connected device power control?
Older onkyo consume around 65w standby and it looks like new ones too?
I'm trying to find myself a reason to upgrade. If power consumption is lower in standby it'll be great. electricity is expensive in CA.

Can anyone give an educated advice on this one vs Denon AVR-S970H? Or perhaps anything else in this price range?
Just diving in the topic, looking to build 5.1 home theatre on a budget. So many bells and whistles.. Denon has better warranty though.

both Denon and Onkyo have identical 2 year warranties on their respective units.

remember when looking at bells and whistles (features), that some denon models charge for upgrades that are standard on other brands so make sure to compare apples to apples.

I suggest concentrating on your speakers 1st.
They have thee biggest affect on the quality of what you hear imo.

Figure out what bells and whistles you need/want and just buy a used receiver that offers them.
You will get a higher quality receiver for much less doing that imo.

It's good you are starting with a 5.1.
Often people try to squeeze in "Atmos" on a tight budget resulting in less than optimal overall performance imo.

I get the price is enticing but you are paying for features you don't need or use.
My 2 cents, good luck.

Proper placement is crucial for optimal performance.

7 or 9.1 is extremely challenging in a small environment.

I just suggest sticking to 5.1, a good one can offer extremely good performance imo.

I am undecided between this receiver and the Pioneer VSX-LX305 for $649.

I will primarily use it to play old CDs, stream tidal and play bluray discs in a 5.1 setup in an apartment connected to Defintive technologies' D15 system.

Which do you guys recommend? Is the Dirac and extra amplifying power worth it?

5.1 in an apartment I would suggest just buying a used receiver that offers the features you need.

With either of those receivers, you'll be paying for features you don't need/use.

Keep in mind with Dirac Live you do not get sub/bass integration.

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.
That was a long time ago. We've had our second model for over 8 years inside our entertainment center doors closed. I did install exhaust fans.

thanks for the input, only issue is that I haven't had success finding a used 4k receiver for less than 300 in my neck of the woods.
