A receiver for fans of both digital and analog music
You still have a turntable and maybe a cassette deck, but you're not living in the past. Your collection includes today's digital music formats as well. And this has made finding the right receiver a real challenge — until now.

For years, Onkyo's stereo receivers have won raves from our customers for their terrific sound quality. The TX-8050 boasts 80 watts per channel of clean, high-current power to deliver a powerful sonic punch that's sure to satisfy. Sure, it has RCA inputs for your turntable and cassette deck but the '8050 also boasts a full complement of analog video and digital audio inputs. Plus it adds the connections you need for today's music sources.

Give your iPod® a front-row seat
A music library used to take two friends and a moving van to carry around. Now you can simply put it in your pocket. The TX-8050's front-panel USB port beckons your iPod to come hither. Its direct digital connection bypasses the iPods processing in favor of a 32-bit chip that can make your higher bit-rate music files sound closer to the original CD. Plus, you can download a free app that lets you use your iPhone® as a convenient Wi-Fi® remote with your connected receiver.

Network- and Internet-ready
Tap in to your home network and enjoy music stored on your PC through your main system, instead of through pint-sized computer speakers. And if you have a Wi-Fi® network, you can use the optional Onkyo USB adapter. Choose from thousands of Internet radio stations — or let PANDORA® Internet radio create a set of customized "stations" based on your own tastes. The TX-8050 streams SIRIUS/XM® Satellite Radio too — or add Onkyo's HD Radio tuner to listen to the free digital over-the-air programming that many AM and FM stations now broadcast.

Finally — a not-too-bright idea
You've seen it before. How could you not? Receiver displays so intense they could be used to warn ships at sea of potential hazards. Yet your living room is not exactly a craggy shoal. The TX-8050 display has three settings — normal, dim and dimmer. Now when you want to turn the lights down for atmosphere, your receiver will go as easy on your eyes as it does on your ears.

Quite Pleased! May-21-12
Reviewer: Jane from Vermont  
Having "lost" a tuner/amp from the 1970's, I was in need of a replacement.  I found the reviews of this unit quite helpful.  I also appreciate Crutchfield's fine and COMPLETE specs, diagrams, etc VERY helpful.  The tuner arrived quickly and was easy to "install".  I am pleased with the "open box" pricing, too!  Everything "works" as advertised and the sound is GREAT!  Does a fine job of picking up antenna-fed FM in a rural area.


 
TX-8050 May-21-12
Reviewer: Charlie from Winchester, Va  
I think this one is great! I had to replace a twenty year old version of something similar.  Boy what an advancement!  Very user friendly if and only if you read the instruction book.  It has a lot of features that you might not look for unless you knew they were there hiding.  Make sure you do.  this thing is custom made for any audiophile!  I have all bose speakers so the sound reproduction is spectacular!  Can't beat it!

Installed this receiver to run 2 sets of Yamaha outdoor speakers for our outdoor kitchen. Wow, it sounds great! Easy connection, and easy to use. Highly recommend!

Great sounding receiver. Use it with my ipod classic and iphone. Speakers are a ways away but still get good sound and volume. I would recommend.


 
Get It Before It's Gone! May-04-12
Reviewer: KennethL from Lubbock, TX  
This reciever is a great deal, depending on what you need. If you're all about the home theater experience, walk on. This receiver isn't made for that. There's not even an HDMI connection, although you will find a basic monitor out jack for video. But if your focus is music, you can't find a better receiver for twice the price. Love vinyl? There's a phono input! How rare is that at this price point? Like digital? You get a USB port for a flash drive or your iPod. Best of all, you can stream internet radio and use your PC as a music server. And, you can control it all with an app on your phone. This is last year's model; when they're gone, they're gone. And at this price, I'm surprised there are any left!
