CNET Asia Review

By Steve Guttenberg and Matthew Moskovciak

Very good

7.4

out of 10

The good: Four HDMI inputs; onboard Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio decoding; upconverts analog signals to 1080i over HDMI output; excellent automatic speaker calibration; switches as many as six high-definition video sources; improved remote.

The bad: Poor video processing limits utility of HDMI upconversion for analog sources; sounds better on movies than with music; no phono input.

The bottom line: The Onkyo TX-SR606 offers tons of functions for the price, but subpar video processing and improved competition mean it's less of a standout receiver than last year's version.

Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: AV Reciver with lot of functionality and enabled all new technologies such as True HD, DTS-HD and well equipped with 4 HDMI interfaces.
Cons: HD Video up-conversion is not that good.
Opinion:
Very High Qaulaity sounds for movies and espcially True HD enabled. Even with normal DTS - DVD movies plays well and sound is really amazing.Automatically select the sound source and type.Audio also plays well even much better with DTS - DVD versions.

best value receiver

Aug 26, 2008

Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: 4 hdmi, video processing, DTS-HD
Cons: definitely not for music, bad sales distribution (indonesia only)
Opinion:
i'm looking forward to change my Yamaha 461 and i found out TXSR606 is my nex destination. 4 input HDMI, what can i say? PS3, xbox 360, DVD or Bluray Player, etc plugged into one receiver. any non HD video source can be upscaled into 1080i using this receiver. and the best one DTS-HD ready.

my only bad comment is, where can i find this product? i found only 1 dealer in Jakarta selling Onkyo, the price is so ridiculous high and not competitive.
