I am in! Been waiting for the price to drop on this baby...

Correction to the front deal posting, it is:

120 watts per channel into 8 ohms (20-20,000 Hz) at 0.08% THD, with 2 channels driven

Not 20 watts - or I will be very sad when I get mine...

You contacted them directly, so I'd go with whatever they told you but TO MY KNOWLEDGE, there is no altered new vs old version of the RZ50.

The manual clarifies this issue; North American models get zone binding posts while European, Australian and Asian models do not. (Source: https://d19veyprpmwslj.cloudfront...1667423113)
The only real issue will be for those that want a 7.1 setup PLUS a stereo zone, which is not possible with the Non-NA version. This has been the case since the 50 was launched.

The RZ50 can only power 9 channels regardless, so even with 11 binding posts, you aren't playing audio through all 11 at once.
If somehow BuyDig is selling, in NA, RZ50's WITHOUT Zone 2 binding posts, I'm not sure how but it's not because they are selling old vs new stock.

I personally think it's far more likely they just screwed up the product image and are using non-NA image of the rear of the unit in the listing.

I had one Onkyo that died on me after one electric spike in the breaker box. Nothing else from electronics in my house was affected. Other denon avr receiver also survived, on the same line. Laptops, TV's and even projector - nothing died. not buying an Onkyo again.

I have had great success with Onkyo over the years. I am interested in this receiver. I'm just not understanding the warranty on this TX-RZ50 with BUYDIG
The site shows that a FREE 2 year "extended Warranty" is included. Does that mean that the receiver has its manufacturer Warranty 2 years Parts and 2 years labor PLUS their extended 2 years warranty? A total of 4 years parts and 4 years labor?
Or is it that BuyDig isn't an authorized ONKYO Dealer, so they offer the 2 year "extended warranty" only?
If this has been covered here, my apologies. Thank you

Electronics expo was selling the denon for a thousand yesterday
I jumped on that deal for Denon x3800h.

How does this compare for $200 cheaper?

I'm switching from a 5.1 soundbar setup and initially planning to run 5.1.2.

My first Onkyo HT-R520 lasted 19 years. It still works but optical inputs now take a couple of minutes to warm up before they start working. I bought a TX-NR696 last week, open box from Adorama for $172 shipped. Sounds great, slightly better than my old one, has strong power and no distortion at high volume.I love the Onkyo sound signature. Tried comparable Yamaha and Denon, didn't like how they sounded and both were underpowered.

In my opinion
You would need to buy Dirac for the Denon to compare the two, which makes the x3800 a lot more money
Money not well spent for many
The advantage of the RZ50 is that Dirac is onboard at no charge . Dirac Bass control is an optional extra and current discounted for the holiday
Should you need a separate amp you have preouts

I have owned the RZ50 for a about a year

People that bought them back in 2021 , on AVS forum, are very satisfied with this unit

You would be hard pressed, in my opinion, to beat this unit sonically at anywhere close to this price.

I must be your friend. My TX-SR805 is still kicking as a dedicated amp.

tempted to get this as an upgrade but wondering if this is over-kill, what are your thoughts? ๐Ÿค”

currently, my over a decade old yamaha rx-v471 seems to have more than enough power for our now-smaller (13ftx12.5ftx8ft) living room klipsch 5.1 set-up (8000f/600mII/504c/1400sw).

i still have my over 2-decade old onkyo tx-sv525 going strong on garage duties and my wife will possibly go ballistics if i get this and cascade existing ones down the line, knowing everything is still working fine as it is.๐Ÿ˜…

Keep in mind both are overkill for that setup.
Some main differences:
This offers 15 more watts per channel and DIrac is included.

The 3800 has independent sub outs(4), all assignable channels, independent preamp mode, likely have access to Dirac's new ART RC next year, a comparable RC(Audyssey) with a new subwoofer setting similar to DLBC.

I would add A1EVO pretty much negates needing Dirac especially for the cost, in my experience.

Here is a full comparison.

I got this exact deal last week on eBay from the same company and price but they didn't include what looks like microfiber clothes... I nearly posted it to Slickdeals though. Anyways it's an excellent receiver and it sounds amazing once you run Dirac and change up the curves (for more bass or treble) if you like that as well. Very happy with my purchase. Arrived in 2 days. 2 year warranty is through Square trade/All State. Works perfect with Xbox (all green check marks) and PS5.

Like the 7100 you get Dirac Live included.
Neither offers Dirac's subwoofer correction/integration.

Thanks. I realize they're overkill now but I also wanted some future proofing as I can see myself adding 2 more channels and a sub in the next couple of years.

But both options can accomplish that. I suppose the other question is how easy it is to cancel an order from electronic expo since it already made an order for Denon x3800h.
