The easy to use menus and auto speaker calibration of the TX-SR707 do give it a leg up in standing amongst other AV receivers. It is relatively well designed in terms of usability, though visually it won't stand out too much. With the added benefit of new surround sound features that the Audyssey codecs provide, this receiver is well built to cope with any further advancements in technology that may come about.

So what is nearly as good as a high end receiver, much better than a lower end model and easily the best middle end receiver to date? The Onkyo TX-SR707. How? Why? I will spend the next few paragraphs explaining my case. Simply put, this unit is an 807 LITE. Lees Meer Translate to Nederlands
It was great for most of the first year, but then we started having intermittent sound problems where it would go out no matter what was selected. To fix it, all we had to do was unplug the receiver for about 30 seconds, then plug it back in and all would be back to normal. Now almost 3 years in, the sound will not come back no matter what we do. Sadly, we spent a lot of money barely three years ago and now we have to buy a new receiver.

For the money this unit is hard to beat. Great sound, but setup is not for the technology challanged . Love the HDMI capability...if you are going to buy this receiver , don't throw low end speakers on it.....spend a few bucks more on some higher end speakers. The difference is worth it !

I have two cheap a/v models last longer than this. I've wrote to Onkyo's support. Let's see how much they care about their consumers. Right now, I would not recommend this model, and may not recommend Onkyo to my local friends. The nearest service dealer is 3 hours away, but I think that dealer is no longer in business. so the next closest is 4 states away! Lees Meer Translate to Nederlands

Habe den Onkyo TX SR 707 nun seit ca. 1 Woche. Ich hatte ursprünglich noch den TX NR 807 in der engeren Wahl, habe aber wegen fast gleicher Ausstattung und nur wenig geringerer Leistung dem SR 707 den Vorzug gegeben. Die Sache mit dem Netzwerkanschluss beim NR 807 ist sicher ganz gut, wenn man sonst keine Möglichkeit hat. Lees Meer Translate to Nederlands
