A Review Of The Onkyo TX-SR608 Home Theater Receiver

Now that 3DTV is hypothetically a possibility in any home, we are likely to want an AV receiver intended for working with 3D video, therefore an Onkyo TX-SR608 Receiver is currently offered to satisfy that market niche. This receiver includes six HDMI ports intended to recognize 3D signals, together with video and audio input from game consoles and satellite dishes. The universal port is intended to accept most Onkyo peripherals such as iPod docks.

Considering all of this emphasis on connectivity, there is no excuse given for the deficiency of an Ethernet port, specifically taking into account that additional Onkyo audio-visual products with similar price tags include that option, but it could be that Onkyo thinks that the ordinary person will be too distracted by the 3D capability to care that they cannot stream directly from the internet.

Once this amazing selection of image and sound is obtained, the Onkyo TX-SR608 Receiver will next process the specific audio format the data employs, upscale the format to 1080p when required, and shoot it via 7 separate channels to the flat screen and audio system of your liking. The onboard Audyssey 2EQ technology can automatically calibrate your speakers to ensure that the signal flowing from them is complimentary of the other speakers in the home theater, looking at each speaker’s power, its location in the area and the room measurement.

Once all of this downloading, decoding and amplification of sound and video, you might worry about the quality of the end product. I’m happy to tell you that THX, the enterprise that is in charge of the AV quality of nearly all films you enjoy in the nation’s cinemas, has a certification system to address that concern.

If an AV device or a full home theater system is provided a THX certification, then we shoppers are reassured that the quality of the film we watch at home could match what we may have experienced in a cinema, minus the smell of spilled popcorn. I’m even happier to assure you that this manufacturer’s first 3D compatible Audio-visual receiver has this certification.

Buying into new technology is typically a gamble, and it is sensible to believe that 3DTV will experience a few growing pains. Nevertheless, whenever you take into account that Onkyo has performed very well historically with adding new technologies into their items, and that this individual AV receiver is nowhere near the zenith of Onkyo’s price range, the Onkyo TX-SR608 Receiver seems a sound way to invest $600 in your home theater system.
