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.

My first Onkyo lasted 14 months. Second Onkyo lasted 22 months. Fool me once...shame on you. Fool me twice.... shame on me. Fool me a third time? Not a chance. My friends Onkyo is on going on 8 years but I've had horrible luck.
YRMV. I have two Onkyo receivers ~15yrs and 20. I keep them as they easily drive 4-ohm speakers.

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.
Wait. So no factory warranty?

I still don't understand why they couldn't just make it one thing. A separate license for just bass?
Better to squeeze extra $$ out of the consumer. But blame Dirac.

Compare the back pictures - https://onkyo.com/home-cinema/av-...rs/tx-rz50
Look at the lower right corner of both pictures. The picture from the Onkyo site shows 120V input for US markets and the picture from BuyDig shows 220-240V input for the European markets. I believe the photo is incorrect.

I already have a 9.2. Can we get the 13.2 or higher back at $500 or less?

Dirac is pretty straight forward how their systems work and what they offer.
Ultimately it's the consumer that chooses to get Dirac.

TBH consumers are the ones who have made it much more complicated than it should be imo.

People have a hard time understanding their manual, I agree not the best written but people read into how they want which doesn't help.

That's why imo the updated video by a renowned AV professional who worked directly with Dirac is GOLD for anyone getting Dirac imo!
They explain how each RC works, streamline how to properly use them and go over all the common confusions and dispel misinformation giving best solutions!

"TBH consumers are the ones who have made it much more complicated than it should be imo."

That's the dumbest take I've ever heard concerning Dirac! Dirac has the impossible task of offering a unified software for a non-standardized AV industry! Just look at how how much trouble normal OS have on PC's and they're pretty standardized as it is! You're basically saying the average Dirac consumer is too stupid to use a software that is supposed to make room correction easier!

The reason I laugh every time you reference the useless Dirac manual (that you are only coming around to recognizing) is because the way any given AVR interacts w/Dirac appears to change nearly every month or year! Case in point: "bass management is accomplished in the AVR only" no longer applies to Denon/Marantz and virtually all PAC products now w/the recent firmware!

It's not the consumer's fault! It's the unified software across an un-unified AV industry!

LOL cue the consumer(not of DLBC mind you) in question!
The one that claims AVS experts know more about Dirac than Dirac! 🤪

Loves to conflate what Dirac's 3 RCs(DL,DLBM,DLBC) are designed to do with how they "interact" with products using them for his agenda! 🙄

Continues to point to how Dirac's one user manual is useless to him insinuating that's the case for everyone.

Ignores the way much better option in that AA video because it completely dispels his agenda! 🤣

I would ask him to clarify/explain this new "case in point" but history will just repeat itself and he'll just say you're just scared of AVS, they know all! 🙄🤣🤪

Did they send the US or European/Asian version?

Do you have FM antenna input and separate zone 2 plugs? Also is it 110v vs 220-240v in the back?
