Product Description
As part of the second generation of Onkyo high-definition-capable receivers, the TX-SR606 is at the forefront of affordable home theater. The key is to have the most capable version of HDMI. The TX-SR606 provides high-definition video and audio processing for four source components - another first for Onkyo at this level. From Blu-ray Disc players to gaming consoles and cable/satellite boxes, you have everything in the digital realm covered. Apart from 1080p video, the TX-SR606 can upscale all video signals to 1080i, regardless of the connection, for output via HDMI. Onkyo's own RIHD (Remote Interactive over HDMI) also gives you inter-operability with the displays and playback components from other leading brands. The TX-SR606 maintains the fullness of surround sound audio quality at low volume levels. The TX-SR606 offers all-round excellence rarely seen at this level.

Good receiver, nice features. Does everything you would want. Would be a 5 star if it could upconvert to component output and had user friendly remote.
Why Onkyo over Denon, Pioneer, etc? July 3, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Before purchasing this unit, I did quite a bit of research regarding what receiver would fit my needs. For about a month, I read over many different reviews and forums (mostly at AVSforum). I have a Sony KDL46-XBR4 and a set of Harman Kardon HKTS-18 speakers. When comparing to Denon, I got the impression that Denon is the creme of the crop. However, their prices are also fairly high. I wanted the Denon 2308, but the price was a bit high. The 1908 didn't have all the features I wanted (namely analog - HDMI upconversion and Dolby TrueHD and Digital+ support). The latest Pioneer 1018 model had all the features I wanted, but because it was released just this June, the price was still fairly high. The power rating as far as watts / channel on the pioneer was a good deal higher than the Onkyo 606, however the general consensus is that only Onkyo and Denon achieve their rated power. There have been many tests on the other brands, and they usually do not achieve anywhere close to their rated power. I will say that I might have chosen the Pioneer 1018 over the onkyo 606 if they were equal prices, but luckily that wasn't an option. If price wasn't a sticking point, I probably would've gone with the latest Denon (the 1909 is coming out soon). The one thing I would've liked on the Onkyo 606 is the upconversion to be 1080p, but I think I will be fine with 1080i. Most things I will upconvert will look insanely better at 1080i anyway.
Currently, I have a Knology digital cable box run by HD component straight to the Sony XBR4 TV. I have an audio optical cable running from the digital cable box out to the receiver. I did it this way instead of straight HDMI to the receiver so I can watch TV without surround if I choose. My Xbox 360 is connected via HDMI to the receiver, and the receiver is HDMI to the TV. I was glad to know that the receiver will pass through 1080p if it receives it via one of the HDMI inputs. I soon plan to purchase a bluray player and run it via HDMI into the receiver as well. The Onkyo manual is very clear in explaining how to change things like crossover frequences and speaker distances. The Audyssey auto-setup is handy as well.
Great a/v receiver June 28, 2008

For what it is worth, I knew absolutely zero about home theater one month ago.
I recently bought a new TV, Samsung LN46A650, and was tired of the cables hanging off the back of it. I decided to by buy the Onkyo receiver after reading tons of reviews and talking to folks I know who are into the A/V scene. I am very happy with my purchase, and would recommend this product to anyone.
A couple of things I'd like to add:
1: I bought my home theater paycheck to paycheck. This means I bought my TV one week, the A/V receiver 2 weeks later, and my speakers 2 weeks later. While I just had my receiver hooked up, it passed audio from each of my inputs (Cable box, Apple TV, Wii, and PS3) straight through to my television. I had no clue it would do such a thing, and I even called Onkyo customer support to ask if it was possible. They said it was as long as the inputs were HDMI. Well, my Wii isn't HDMI, but it still passed the Component video and audio over the HDMI cable run through the wall to my TV. VERY NICE. Just thought that may be a selling point to anyone who is on a budget and can't afford speakers right away. Hope it made sense.
2: My speakers are in-ceiling Polk Audio RC80i's... The whole set up was easy and configuring on the receiver is not hard at all. I am now a huge fan of Onkyo. Setup was a breeze and now I have a home theater setup that may not be top of the line, but certainly impresses everyone who see's it. TV, speakers, subwoofer, and receiver for around $3k. Thank you Amazon!
Getting Sound from CableBox to the Onkyo TX-SR606 HTR to SamsungTV June 26, 2008
3 out of 10 found this review helpful
There is a very fragile relationship between Comcast's box (Scientific Atlanta Explorer 4250HDC) and my Onkyo TX-SR606 Receiver. They are connected by the best Monster HDMI cable. The picture transmission from Comcast Box to Onkyo to SAMSUNG PN 50A550S1F via HDMI is perfectly fine. The SOUND has been a problem. The SOUND has gone out three times. I have not been able to trouble shoot it out. Connecting ComcastBOX directly to the SAMSUNG TV has been successful. The Sound is fine except that I am now bypassing the ONKYO and all of my nice Mirage speakers. It feels as if there is not complete recognition between the ComcastBOX and the ONKYO. (The relationship of all components is overseen by a Logitech HARMONY One.) I love this ONKYO TX-SR606 but, a serious rift is developing as I have my second $200 visit by a technical guy, who has been unable to fix it this last time. The sound disconnection is unexplainable, sudden, without warning and annoying. I have tried two different HDMI cables and, the sound still does not work. Is this a flaw or will another two lines of programming straighten it out? Thanks. CHR in MPLS-MN
