Could you quantify the "suckiness"? The Yamaha I bought last year has been terrible at voice audio and I'm looking for an alternative.
The biggest issues have been screen flickering and losing audio. I've tested my setup with different cords and receivers and the Onkyo has been the only one with those issues. I've reset everything to factory and still can't make it through a 20 minute TV show without issue.

And it has intermittent issues with arc.

Maybe I just have a faulty unit, but I've been very unimpressed

Kinda same thing happened to me. Everything was connected and configured but no sound. TV shows it sends sound to the receiver, but no sound. I had to unplug HDMI cable and plug it back every time I turn TV on. No other troubleshooting methods worked. WTF? It is basic thing to produce sound when on, but no -> go replug hdmi cable !!! Bluetooth was a joke too: literally nothing was able to pair with this receiver. The only exception was macbook pro, but still it would disconnect 5-7 times within one hour. F&%k this sh*t!
Switched to yamaha, everything works as expected, no issues.

I bought an Onkyo in the 80's and it still works. Perhaps you overloaded your speakers?

I would consider and compare this with the Denon AVR-S970H. Also an excellent multichannel receiver
That one has autosurround so you don't have to constantly select between Dolby and DTS formats.

This or the Denon AVR-S970H for $80 more. I have a denon x1500h with left, right, center and a sub. Thinking of adding a couple of rear bookshelves to make it 5.1.

Bought it from Costco earlier this year. Has a fan which is very quiet so the unit doesn't get warm. Plenty of outputs, eARC works well with my a90J . I did connect my ps4 directly to the TV because it didn't seem to get the 4k across in rgb format when connected to the receiver.

So many receiver options I don't know what to do. This seems like an incredible deal but I just bought the Pioneer Elite LX305 and then the Denon s970 because it's cheaper and seemed to have everything I need. But now this. It's even cheaper and seems to have what I need. lol.
Just stop. You're buying things and returning them and they'll almost definitely go to the landfill. Research first, then live with the prices you paid, OK?

Deal dead? Shows $749.

Edit: nevermind, need to click thru link. I went directly to Adorama and searched for the product. I hate it when retailers do this.

At this price, the only thing to complain about is the weak bluetooth. It can be wonky at times.

Why do people buy an audio amp that at the same time is the weakest link of the video system? Isn't TV the natural hub for video signals?
Nope.

Maybe you need a better center speaker? My Yamaha has crisp voice quality. Did you run the room correction?

The AVR is meant to be the hub of an entertainment center, not the TV. The TV is classically an edge device.

With a good (and modern) AV Receiver, you're running all of your devices into the receiver which can handle all the different multichannel audio streams you could throw at it and playing it through the connected surround sound speaker system and then (most often) using simple pass-thru to send the untainted video to the TV for display while keeping the audio and video in proper sync (most common use case).

When it comes to a decision on video upscaling, you can test for yourself if you'd rather ask the receiver to do it or your TV. YMMV on which is the best choice, which is why you can opt for pass-thru of video without having the receiver process it -- leaving the TV to do its thing, if that's your preference. I'd wager most people opt for pass-thru but it's a choice you can make should you find that the AVR seems to handle it better than your TV (pretty unlikely, but again -- your choice).

AND, you're running all your HDMI/etc. cables into the receiver and sending one HDMI to the TV so you're TV is always displaying whatever is active coming in from the receiver without needing to switch or to program a multifunction remote to switch to a different TV input for each device. YMMV on the relative benefit of this, but TV's aren't exactly chock full of separate inputs vs. many households rising device count.

At any rate, AVR's serve a very useful purpose in doing that they do best and allow TV's to simply do what THEY do best.
