Product Description

The TX-NR807 brings together the very latest mid-range home-theater functionality and adds one major upgrade: networking capability. An Ethernet port on the TX-NR807 allows it to receive and output audio files playing in real-time on your PC. Alternatively, you can bypass your PC and enjoy a direct connection to streaming internet radio stations such as Pandora and Rhapsody. Naturally, the TXNR807 also handles all of your high-definition audio and video sources—courtesy of six HDMI 1.3a inputs—and upscales any video input to 1080p via Faroudja DCDi Cinema. This powerful THX Select2 Plus Certified receiver also comes with Audyssey DSX and Dolby Pro Logic IIz, two new surround-sound formats that expand the spatial dimensionality of games and movies. Meanwhile, Audyssey room-correction and equalization technologies help ensure a convincing and detailed audio performance, regardless of the volume level or the shape of your room. An intelligent customizable remote controller puts the finishing touch to what is another benchmark-setting all-round performer from Onkyo.

Upgraded from a twelve-year-old Yamaha with lots of oomph but little in the way of current sound processing and of course no HDMI. Did a massive amount of research in advance, but in the end decided that the NR807 gave me everything I need for now and well into the future. One of the fullest and most immersive soundstages I've ever heard, a comparatively intuitive interface, auto firmware updates and PC audio streaming via its Ethernet port, more setup and configuration options than I knew existed, and a full half-dozen (!) HDMI inputs. And plenty of power sitting in reserve for those moments in a movie that are crafted to make you jump out of your chair. Never boomy or tinny or lacking, the unit simply sounds "fluid."

Yes, it has its bells and whistles, but this is by no means a "bells and whistles" receiver.

Connected this TX-NR807 receiver to a 5+1 environment. Five speakers and a powered subwoofer. Found the correct connection option in the manual to match my speaker setup. Connected an Oppo blu-ray, and Comcast DVR (latest small size Motorola) via HDMI 1.3a cables. Ethernet connected to a gigabit switch, part of a Comcast broadband network. Over the past 30 days we have updated the firmware without incident twice. Net radio works fine, iPhone adapter works well, and I am able to stream music from my network storage device (Intel NAS). Receiver is connected to a Panasonic 1080p plasma via HDMI 1.3a cables. While it does overlay volume etc. on the video to report status of the receiver, it does not seem to degrade the picture. As it is located in a separate room from the audio and monitor system, I can't comment on the relay noise. I can mention that the 2/2010 firmware update addressed this issue. The automatic sound equalization seemed to work great. Family is pleased, it is compatible with our universal remote, and they all know how to use it. This replaced a 20 year old Onyko which still works well, but could not switch HDMI. I am very pleased.

This is my first review and my first reciever. I am amazed at the easy setup of this system. Although I am technically skilled, although not a pro, I expected the setup to be a little more difficult. This was my first home theatre after all. But it was a synch. And the GUI was outstanding. For a listener at my level the audyssey setup worked wonders. I am truly impressed with the quality and functionality of this unit. I have not made my way through all of the options, but using the upscaling feature on my Wii is great. One issue I have run into is while changing television channels (directv) if you have the cable/satellite box set to native resolution, everytime there is a resolution change and you are upscaling to 1080p the system will go black and then switch (with an audible pop). It is not that large of an inconvenience since I mostly use the onscreen tv guide to find a channel switch but it could be if you are used to just hitting channel up and down.
