Community Reviews
The Onkyo TX-RZ30 is a 9-channel AVR that stands out for Dirac room correction, dual independent subwoofer outputs, and strong value at this price. It is repeatedly framed as a better fit than pricier Denon alternatives when you do not need more than 9 channels, and the included Dirac calibration is praised for sounding great after setup. The main cautions are that Dirac Bass Control and other add-ons can raise the real cost, and the 170W power rating is described as misleading. Shipping and warranty support can also be a hassle because the unit is heavy and expensive to send back.
Common Questions (5)
The receiver includes Dirac Live for speaker correction, but Dirac Live Bass Control is an extra paid add-on. Bass Control is often described as the main reason to upgrade Dirac, especially if you use one or more subwoofers.
Yes. It is repeatedly described as a strong buy for 9-channel setups, especially for 5.2.4 or similar layouts, and the extra channels on higher models are not useful if you will never use them.
Yes, it has two independent sub outs, which is a major selling point over some alternatives. That matters most if you want better sub integration and room correction flexibility, especially with multiple subs.
Yes. Banana plugs should fit the receiver's binding posts and have been used successfully with its speaker connectors.
Not always. Shipping can appear if you pay with PayPal, but switching to a credit card removed the shipping charge in at least one checkout.

1st, this can only process 9 channels.
Based on what you said let's assume you likely use this in a 5.1.4 enabled setup.
Here is the optimal way to set that up.

You can also do a hybrid or height position.
Since you already have the extra speakers, I would suggest giving it a try and see what you think.
Personally I think Bass Control is the main reason to go with Dirac especially if you use a subwoofer(s).
Many many people believe they don't need it(for many reasons).
I would give it a shot & if you feel the same way I wouldn't worry about it.

I've always bought Denon in the past. This was my first Onkyo. I'm going back to Denon next time. Not that they're perfect -- the only reason I bought the Onkyo in the first place was the Denon completely dying after about 5 years.

FWIW there was a like-new 3700 on marketplace for $500 a 1.5 hour drive from here, but I missed the guy by an hour.

That does not actually translate to actual sound performance, even though people often try to correlate them.
If they did we wouldn't need to audition them at home to hear how they sound.

Lol yea if I'm honest if feel like CEC and ARC are theoretical things. HDMI compatibility was a mess and most companies struggled with it and I agree, no idea who is to blame.
I waited a while in those late 2000s early 20-teens for adopting a receiver with HDMI of my own. I had separate amp and preamp (no HDMI) then eventually dropped to a beast of a Harmon Kardon receiver that I loved the audio Q on (again no hdmi) instead opting for an HDMI switch programmed by my harmony remote for just video signal.
I went with a Yamaha RX-A3070 back in 2017 or so finally and it's been perfect in terms of HDMI. I cant think of a single time where I press TV on the harmony and i'm missing audio/video/both. The only thing that surprised me about the yamaha was how underpowered it felt was compared to my previous amps. I'm finally considering upgrading again simply due to wanting higher bandwidth passthrough (4k 144hz or so to match tv or beyond possibly). I'll admit I spend no time thinking about all the latest sound features like whatever Dirac is.
