Onkyo TX-DS777

Pros: sleek design, powerful and clean sound, easy to use and setup
Cons: only 2 component inputs

Onkyo has a long history for producing top-notch products and this piece certainly fits that mold to a T. I have had this unit for about a month now and I have enjoyed it quite frequently. This piece of equipment is really the centerpiece of my theater...

Pros: Big POWER, smoooth, simple (for an A/V receiver)
Cons: Gold face only in Japan

Home theater has been my main hobby for almost five years now. I read everything I can find on the subject. Until being stationed in Japan a year and a half ago, I would hang around all the electronics stores, especially where friends (and I part-time)...

Pros: Power, Sound, Features
Cons: weight, no settings memory

I purchased this piece as the audio center for a home theater system being done in my new house. This is the first receiver I have that does more than Dolby Pro Logic. I can safely and happily say I haven't gone wrong.

First - the system. I...

Pros: Full of features
Cons: Harsh high-end range

The title of this review is "I Expected More", not more features, but more from Onkyo's Integra line. I owned their first Integra turntable with the "shock absorber" feet. It was great then and it is great now.

So I...

Pros: Extremely Powerful; Clear, Tight Sound; Onkyo quality; Durable
Cons: Not upgradeable to future formats (DD 6.1)

The Onkyo Tx-DS777 was the flagship receiver for a few years and with good reason ... The sound is crisp, clear, and tight at the highest and lowest frequencies ... There are plenty of component inputs and a variety of listening modes (DTS,Dolby Digital,...

Pros: Great processing, Remote, Build Quality,Good Amps
Cons: Not as loud as i would have liked, Hard to operate

This review is actually for the TX-DS787.It's my 2nd A/V reciever and the best i could afford as i am only 16.Compared to the Pioneer the processing is better, it runs much cooler, has better amps and excellent channel separation and transient...

Pros: works good when it working
Cons: Short life span

I bought this unit new in 1999 no problems for 10 years then it just quit working
I ran it hard most of the time, no problems, always sounded good until the last day, I thought it would last longer than 10 years
 I will not spend a 1000.00 on another reciever

Pros: Programable versatility, powerful, clean natural sound, easy to use and connect.
Cons: Could use component video and HDMI connections to run through receiver

I purchased this receiver after learning that it was the top rated product in its category. I was not disappointed.
Examples:

The learning remote will assume control of all your equipment in one package.

It automatically detects and adjusts its setting for DVD and CD playback, such as switching from 2 channel stereo to 5.1 THX or DTS if sound is available in that quality.

Intellisound can set a max level to test so you won't blow out your speakers.


S-video and fiber optic 5.1 sound is great and helps integrate your media system

On-screen adjustment of speaker sound levels, speaker placement, etc. is easy to use and a great feature.

5.1 channel quasi-stereo (based on 2 channel) works great.

The list goes on and on.
