Product Description

The TX-NR807 brings together the very latest mid-range home-theater functionality and adds one major upgrade: networking capability. An Ethernet port on the TX-NR807 allows it to receive and output audio files playing in real-time on your PC. Alternatively, you can bypass your PC and enjoy a direct connection to streaming internet radio stations such as Pandora and Rhapsody. Naturally, the TXNR807 also handles all of your high-definition audio and video sources—courtesy of six HDMI 1.3a inputs—and upscales any video input to 1080p via Faroudja DCDi Cinema. This powerful THX Select2 Plus Certified receiver also comes with Audyssey DSX and Dolby Pro Logic IIz, two new surround-sound formats that expand the spatial dimensionality of games and movies. Meanwhile, Audyssey room-correction and equalization technologies help ensure a convincing and detailed audio performance, regardless of the volume level or the shape of your room. An intelligent customizable remote controller puts the finishing touch to what is another benchmark-setting all-round performer from Onkyo.

Customer Reviews

Thoroughly satisfied...
Upgraded from a twelve-year-old Yamaha with lots of oomph but little in the way of current sound processing and of course no HDMI. Did a massive amount of research in advance, but in the end decided that the NR807 gave me everything I need for now and well into the future. One of the fullest and most immersive soundstages I've ever heard, a comparatively intuitive interface, auto firmware updates and PC audio streaming via its Ethernet port, more setup and configuration options than I knew existed, and a full half-dozen (!) HDMI inputs. And plenty of power sitting in reserve for those moments in a movie that are crafted to make you jump out of your chair. Never boomy or tinny or lacking, the unit simply sounds "fluid."

Yes, it has its bells and whistles, but this is by no means a "bells and whistles" receiver.

no sand bags here
i made sure i opened the box before the UPS guy left, and am happy to say, no sand bags. so far, i've had a sony(pro logic), hk, and an outlaw 1050. i'm not sure if it sounds that much better than my outlaw at 5.1, but after i added a couple of height speakers, it sounds pretty awesome. Dolby PLIIz is pretty impressive. i also tried pandora and it works great, not sure if i'll ever use the regular tuner. the audissey setup was great. no more playing with the sound level meter. although, when i have time, i'll be checking audissey's levels with a sound level meter just to make sure. i only gave it a 4, because i believe a 5 should be reserved for the higher end stuff. plus, i don't believe i played with it long enough to say it's a perfect 5. there is definitely a little learning curve involved, not really plug and play. if the ranking was for receivers under $1000, than i would rank it closer to 5.

Somethings up....
I would give a review of this product if I could get one. I ordered one and in transit someone swiped it out of the box and replaced it with a 50lb bag of sand. Got my replacement today and guess what: another bag of sand. Opened it right in front of the UPS guy. I think he was more surprised than me. You could see someone had been in the box as it was retaped. I'm not sure where these are getting stolen but this is getting old! If this isn't made right like right away I'm asking for a refund and taking my money elsewhere. Amazon has been stellar through all of this so far but now it's time for them to step up to the plate and get this resolved.
