A definate WINNER!

by DmitryD , Jul 10 '00
Pros: Features, Style, Quality, Durability
Cons: None significant
Overview: Onkyo products have always been regarded as high quality electronics, and therefore carry a premium pricetag. At $600-$700, the TX-DS676 is no exception. There are many sub $300 receivers nowadays that tout Dolby Digital 5.1, DTS, and...

Great Quality!

by marchi , Aug 20 '02
Pros: Solid, clean power, flexible
Cons: Not enough inputs, no video transcoding
When I saw a refurbished Onkyo 676 for sale on-line at $300, I quickly snapped it up to replace my aging Techniques home theatre receiver. Onkyo has always represented a top of the line Japanese audio company, similar to Pioneer's Premiere line or the...

Feel the clean, crisp power - UPDATED 4/22/02

by Schwinn , Sep 13 '00
Pros: Lots of power, all the necessary features, excellent price and quality (even my refurb!)
Cons: On screen display
This is not just another 5-star rating!

I recently bought this product as a factory refurbished model, and I have to say it's in excellent condition! It looks like new, but cost me about 40% less than a new one from any online source I could...

Great all-around performer!

by DC_Jeff , Feb 24 '01
Pros: 85 REAL watts of power, great surround performance, multifunction remote, 5.1 stereo
Cons: Plain looking, DSP modes lacking
Before purchasing a receiver, I shopped and listened to several brands and models (Sony, Denon, H-K, Pioneer) before settling on this Onkyo. I have not been disappointed.

Setting up this 42 lb. unit was a breeze. I connected my speakers, DVD...

Wow!!

by joescalone , Apr 04 '00
Pros: Sound quality, features, and ease of remote
Cons: Amount of features can be overwhelming
This was the best-valued receiver that I have found though my travels. Its performance is exceptional and there are a plethora of features. If you are in the market for a quality Dolby Digital/DTS receiver I would recommend giving this one a close...

Excellent, but not problem free.

by greg_a , Dec 23 '00
Pros: Great Sound
Cons: Doesn't always automatically pick-up Digital/DTS encoding.
I just bought the TX-DS676 for Christmas, as my entry level receiver into home theatre and have not been disappointed by the sound and/or performance. The system may not be the top of the line, but it comes with enough features, wattage, and...

Best Value for the Dollar

by wajlee , Aug 12 '00
Pros: Menu organization, sound
Cons: Remote too big
Everyone seems to say that this product has a great remote, but I disagree. In the last few years, remote controls have been getting bigger and bigger. Bigger remotes may make it look like more functions are available, but well designed remotes have...

45LBS OF A/V BLISS

by mobomofo , Jul 11 '01
Pros: Clean sound, ULTIMATE remote, ease of use!
Cons: No biggie, but no Dolby Pro Logic II
Hehehe... it's a little heavy, but how often do you move a receiver?

I had a decent receiver prior to this one, but WOW! The difference in clarity was amazing! I swear that there was sound MISSING from audio tracks I heard through my older...

Its all about the sound

by triptakers , May 16 '01
Pros: Sound Quality, Solid Build, Reliability, all the features needed for outstanding home theatre
Cons: Setup a bit complex, skimpy owners manual, to S-Video to composite
When it came time to upgrade my 20-year old Onkyo receiver to something that could be the center of a new home theatre setup, I began my search with Onkyo. My old Onkyo receiver served me flawlessly for 20 years, and would probably have lasted forever....

No more fan noise! WOW!!!

by dxd15 , Jun 18 '00
Pros: Remote, Features, Sound
Cons: None significant
I bought this receiver to go along with my 36" TV and DVD player a few months back. It boasts 85W x 5 channels, Dolby Digital and DTS built in, Cinema Re-EQ, and S-Video all around. The predecessor to this model (656) had a fan noise problem,...

I love the remote

by ruagorecki2 , May 30 '00
Pros: good sound, universal remote
Cons: none
I got the Onkyo receive a few months ago. I love it. It puts out a good sound. I have tried some of the other receivers and they don't seem to be as crisp. On the high end they start to get muffled. I like the fact that Onkyo is clear high or low....
