This is my second Onkyo receiver. My older one still works well except for the
remote volume control which is a pain during commercials, and I wanted to
get a newer one with HDMI connections. The TX-SR508 has more features
than I will ever use, but I really like the Audyssey 2EQ speaker set up and the
Audyssey Dynamic Volume features. Everything else sems pretty automatic
although the audio enthusiast can still set things manually using the overrides.
This is a lot of receiver for the money, and it's too bad that Onkyo has
discontinued it. Hopefully the new model will be a good. The Channel Master
HDMI cable I also ordered at a good price seems to work well also. The
service, communication, and follow-up from Crutchfield have been
outstanding.

This unit was a breeze to set up and sounds great coupled with my polk audio
equipment. If you are on a budget and just dipping into the world of home theater
components like I was its the buy for you! Now that I have experienced this quality
of sound there will never be a HTIB in my household again!

Well I have to say this Receiver works great, easy setup and just as easy to
use, I would recommend it to anyone looking for a great receiver at a very good
price.

Onkyo "Bliss" |

I have always wanted an Onkyo receiver but the $600+ price tag never made much sense. So for the past 20+ years I have been living in the "shelter" of the typical brands that dominate the market. My inability to use my newer HDMI products, and my past experience with Crutchfield was my driving force for my recent purchase of this "Beautiful" Onkyo Receiver! Not to mention this price tag. Crutchfield mailed this out IMMEDIATELY. I tracked the order like Santa on Christmas Day. Set up was simple. And the sound is amazing. I went from RCA plug to 4 HDMI connections. I can actually see carpet! The only semi- negative thing I have to say is that you need some patience to read and figure out all the things this receiver does! But the sound will knock your socks off. And I am still using 10+ year old speakers. Don't hesitate to buy this product or any product from Crutchfield!

Great Bang for the Buck |

I was originally looking at the 608 model, but saw that this one was identical except for
having two fewer hdmi inputs and no video upconversion. I didn't care about either
issue as I watch HD 95% of the time. The fact that it was 150 dollars less clinched it for
me. I've been very satisfied with it so far. The Audyssey system made setup a breeze
and it looks and sounds great. Does run a little warm, but not bad.
I have it paired up with the energy micro 5.1 system and it sounds very good to me. No
lip sync issues so far. Plenty of different options for sound for those who like to tinker.
You'd be hard pressed to find a 3d ready receiver with more features than this one for
249 dollars. Highly recommended.
