Customer Reviews

Tremendous Product
Incredible amplifier/receiver for the price. Has nearly every DSP mode that you could possibly want and tremendous flexibility. It's amazing that TrueHD, DTS MasterAudio, THX certification and MultiEQ2 are available at this price point. The flexibility of this product could create confusion for some but the setup process is actually very easy. The lack of a beautiful Graphical User Interface is mentioned by some reviewers as a negative but don't let that dissuade you from selecting this receiver. The on-screen setup may not be as pretty as that featured by Sony products but it is very usable.

av heaven
Onkyo 705 was chosen over the 605 with a far superior learning universal remote as well as the extra hdmi ports. connectivity is easy including the Nintendo Wii and the Optoma HD70 projector makes for a fine home theater on a 115 inch screen.

COOLING FAN LOUD
Amplifier does what it claims except I don't notice any upgrade of standard DVDs. The Pure Audio mode improves the sound quality of standard CDs - very nice. The power is adequate but does not seem to be any more powerful than my previous 60W amp. Overall, I think the Onkyo TX-SR 705 is a fine receiver. I have had it for two months. My only complaint is the BUILT-IN COOLING FAN, which can be heard from 8 feet away. When music is playing in can't be heard but between songs and in quiet scenes in movies it can. One would think Onkyo would have made sure to put a quiet fan in the amp. I am thinking of getting an additional, quieter place-on-top fan to cool, which may prevent the internal, built-in fan from turning on; it turns on when the amp reaches a certain temperature. The additional fan costs about $25 on ebay and plugs into socket in the back of the amp.
