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.
A working coupon code can apply successfully, which can reduce the effective purchase price.
The receiver can process up to nine channels, which fits common 5.1.4 Atmos-style layouts well.
The RZ30 includes dual independent sub outputs, which supports more flexible subwoofer bass integration.
Dirac calibration can sound great after setup, especially for listeners who want room correction benefits.
Onkyo HDMI reliability history can be a concern, including reports of HDMI handshake failures and expensive repair experiences from earlier models.
Shipping may not be free at checkout, since PayPal can add a shipping charge while a credit card may remove it.
The included Dirac Live (DL) does not include Dirac subwoofer or bass correction, so bass calibration may rely on AVR bass management instead.
Dirac licenses can be refundable, but refunding can remove the calibration because the filter stops working in the AVR.

The closest(3800) offers a bit more features for the $400 or so extra cost.
If you don't need those extra features or prefer Denon, yes this is a solid deal for what you get.
Generally speaking, the extra power is a minimal advantage in real world use.
I've set this up with a 9 channel Primes & drove them with no problem at average listening levels.
Imo I would spend the extra $200 on DLBC or improving a weak link speaker(s) if you have one.

The included Dirac(DL) doesn't offer Dirac subwoofer/bass correction.
It uses the AVR bass management to calculate & include it in the calibration.
Dirac usually offers 20% sale around BF & gives you 30 days return window.
Past sales on the 3800 are not very common nowadays for a few reasons.
One being, it offers pretty much all the features the RZ70 does and likely what the new RZ71 will.
It depends.
