I've owned Onkyo in the past, and was very satisfied. It's perfect for my small apartment. This was just what I was looking for. So far, no reason to think this receiver will be any different.
Easy to use. I highly recomend this product. Excellent product. Hook up was easy as well.
My technique tuner I owned for 25 years had MUCH more power. I have trouble with it shutting down when I turn up the volume any where close to the max. The Onkyo tuner was delivered to my door in less than 2 hours. The price was right. Is this normal.
Although the 65 watts is a little low, still it sounds great and is simple to set up. Not easy to find. When my 10 year old Yamaha receiver went out, I began to look for something to power my 5 speaker, Polk Audio surround system. I also needed a receiver that could power my bedroom speakers separately and not break the bank. I was surprised to find that the Onkyo TX-SR304 had just the features I was looking for, and at an unbelievable price from Amazon.
If you don't need HDMI this is a good choice.A couple of caveats however. I did have to pump the center channel up 3db as my middle aged ears are losing some of their midrange.In this price range I don't think you can go wrong with this. The speaker terminals are smaller than expected and could really be a bit bigger. I was debating between this Onkyo and a similarly priced Yamaha when the Sony finally bit the bullet. It runs quite a bit cooler then my ancient Sony receiver.If you need a budget 5.1 receiver, this is a fine choice. Plenty of understated power, good sound fields and enhancements, very nice sound.
Also, while it doesn't bother me, the speaker protection relays are a bit loud when they click in.While I've read of others saying their unit got hot, mine does not. When my Sony digital decoder started going south I started looking for a receiver. The Yamaha was out of stock so I took the Onkyo.This is a fine little receiver that gets the job done well in my small room powering my Cambridge Soundworks 5.1 speaker system. The remote is not a universal and only works with other Onkyo components.
