Community Reviews
The TX RZ30 is a strong value 9 channel AVR for Atmos setups, especially if you want Dirac room correction and dual independent sub outs. It is repeatedly framed as a better fit than pricier Denon and Yamaha alternatives when you do not need more than 9 channels, and the included calibration is praised for improving sound after setup. The main cautions are extra Dirac costs for Bass Control, a learning curve, and recurring concern about Onkyo HDMI reliability and shipping or warranty hassles. A solid pick for a modern 5.1.4 or 5.2.4 system if those tradeoffs fit.
The receiver can process up to nine channels, which fits common 5.1.4 Atmos-style layouts well.
The RZ30 includes Dirac Live Bass Control access via A1EVO Express, which can reduce the need for a separate $300 DLBC purchase.
The unit offers dual independent sub outputs, which supports more flexible subwoofer integration than models without that feature.
A coupon code reportedly applied successfully and reduced the total cost by $300 in at least one purchase.
Onkyo HDMI reliability is a concern based on past experiences, including HDMI handshake failures and repair workarounds.
Warranty service may require paying shipping to a service center even during warranty coverage, which can be expensive for a heavy receiver.
Shipping may not be free at checkout, since PayPal reportedly added a shipping charge while a credit card removed it.
Dirac Live Bass Control reportedly does not include Dirac subwoofer/bass correction and instead relies on AVR bass management for sub calibration.

Does the app let me create a button that turns on or off a few things and switch inputs?
Checking the manuals, the 30, 50, and 70 all seem to have only basic remotes, unlike old models.
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.

For only 9 channels, In my experience, no not really.
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.
