Excellent Start for a Home Theatre

bymdbrown Mar 21, 2003

Pros Clean sound, conservative power rating, front panel inputs, extra power outlet
Cons lacks second "tape" loop, smallish remote
Recommended it? Yes

I've always loved Onkyo's corporate philosophy, to produce high quality products without unnecessary frills and sell them at a reasonable price. This unit follows that very closely.

All of the normal "receiver" items are here -- AM/FM tuner with 30 presets, Front and Rear main speaker... Read full review »

Pros Awesome sound quality, great price
Cons good for small or medium size rooms only
Recommended it? Yes

In purchasing audio equipment, I try to find the best quality at the lowest price. This receiver fits the bill. Onkyo is known for its good build quality on high end receivers and it spares no expense for this baby. The sound quality is superb. And it's simple to set up. It took me about fifteen...

State of the art power

Pros Responsive, powerfull and versatile sound.
Cons Remote could be constructed with more imagination.
Recommended it? Yes

This amp is one of the best receivers. 18 months ago, I purchased a pioneer 100W x 5 receiver. Over time, I found many shortcomings. When I cranked it for an explosive scene or space ship launch, I didn't explode. Rather it held back a fair bit. Furthermore, playing music on the pioneer was... Read full review »

Great inexpensive reciever

Pros Fantastic sound! Excellent power all around. Easy setup.
Cons The remote is small, difficult to use, unless you can memorize all buttons!
Recommended it? Yes

I have never written a review for a product, but since I utilize Epinions so often now, I thought it was right to finally give back! Wow, what a reciever. Out of the box, it is not very 'fancy' looking, as my fiance told me. However, I believe in function over form, and this reciever delivers on... Read full review »

Amazing receiver

7 Helpfuls 8 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 2 Comments
Pros Tons of inputs and outputs Easy to use Solid
Cons No component
Recommended it? Yes

I got this system in my HT-S650 package from Circuit City. It looked fairly large, but fit conveniently in the space under my TV on the TV cart I have in my dorm room. I managed to run a DVD player (Panasonic CP72) and my Playstation 2 into the dual optical input slots. I then managed to run my... Read full review »

Best Priced Receiver , Hands Down.

byelectropigeon Jan 1, 2004

Pros Powerful, clear sound, great price.
Cons None.
Recommended it? Yes

A lot of people don't know about Onkyo, as they don't build a wide variety of products, choosing to stay only with audio. So don't be afraid if you see this name jump out at you if it's your first time looking for a receiver.

This unit has the most sophisticated processor you can find in... Read full review »

Onkyo TX-SR500 Good sound, mediocre reliability

bywotbill01 Jul 9, 2006
1 Helpfuls 2 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros It has many features. Good ENTRY level for surround sound.
Cons Warrantee work required in the first year.
Recommended it? Yes

Fairly easy to hook up for the non-audiophile. Slightly lower in sound quality for music than my previous Yamaha. Not as warm. Many more features though. I upgrade for surround sound. I changed to Onkyo for price versus features over Yamaha. Reliability has been a concern there was a delay in... Read full review »
