Great value; good product. August 29, 2010

There appears to be an issue with signal/video upscaling. A television program that doesn't need to be upscaled to my Samsung Plasma TV was made to jerk by the receiver as opposed to the smooth, fluid picture when straight from the cable box. The HDMI cables I am using are high quality and rated fast.

Once again I have been thwarted in my quest to have a receiver which can fully act as a mixer. The fact is, unless you have an older TV or vision that is not correctable to 20/20 you are going to notice a reduction in picture quality if you run your HDMI cables through this reciever, even in "through" mode you'll lose signal quality. Several other reviewers mention this problem - I wish I had paid more attention to them before buying.
Anyway, I ended up bypassing the receiver for anything but sound - I have 3 HDMI cables running directly to the television: 1 for satellite, 1 for blue-ray, and 1 so I can see the onscreen display from the receiver. Digital sound is acheived with 2 optical lines.
The only reason I didn't give this product a lower rating is because the sound quality is excellent, and it decodes all the lastest truehd DolbyHD sound tracks (unlike my old HK). Too bad Onkyo didn't focus more on the picture! I have a new Samsung 55" LED - so picture quality is on the top of my list.

This is my 2nd Onkyo AV receiver. Our old one TX-SR-503 is still working great, but I wanted something with HDMI inputs. This new model is a great upgrade. It was easy to setup with the included mike. Audessey Dynamic EQis a very nice feature. You do have to read the manual to tweek it. I turned off the video upconversion. (see pg 21 of the manual). When it was on, I noticed some very slight distortion on certain Tv channels (TNT, YES) I read some forums on it and it was recommeded to turn it off. Each input has its own audio & video setting.Right now I only have a Comcast DVR box & a Samsung Bluray player hooked up to it. One of the HDMI jacks is in the front, which makes it easy to connect my laptop to it.
The Audessey EQ feature will automaticly detect how many & what size your speakers are. It also sets up the crossover frequency. You can go back in and do it manually. There are also many other settings you can play around with, such as THX mode (if you have THX speakers) Dolby true HD & DTS-HD master audio,
Dynamic volume control,A/V sync , Intellivolume and others. You can reasign and rename the inputs. It is HD radio ready, SIRIUS sattlelite ready and THX select 2 certified.
Our family really enjoys the better sound. I currently have Kenwood HTIB speakers hooked up. The Onkyo makes them sound better.
I have replace the center channel speaker with a Definitive Tech ProCinema 1000. What a Difference! I hope to replace all the speakers with the Def Tech 1000 line. I'm sure it will sound great with the Onkyo TX-SR608.
UPDATE 8/27/10
I noticed a glitch in the HDMI THROUGH feature. When I activated the HDMI THROUGH feature, which is supposed to allow HDMI signal to pass through with the receiver on standby,it kicks off the 4:3 overide off on my Cable box. At first I thought it was the cable box, so I swapped it out with a new model, and the same thing happend. Yes, I actually don't have the stereo on all the time to save power and to watch the news @ 5:00a.m. After a factory reset,I finally narrowed it down to the "HDMI THROUGH" feature. Not sure what I'm going to do.Either take it back, or hook up cable direct to TV and optical to receiver.
I still like the way it sounds and the funtions. Any suggestions?
 Fantastic Value August 17, 2010

By far and away the best buy for the money. The ease of hook up via HDMI, the clarity of sight and sound, the ease of use make this a 5 star value. Sure I could have paid more but I wonder how much more I would have gotten? Last but not least the remote easily found all of my older Audio and Video equipment. I am now down to 1 remote that does 99% of all needed functions! This unit is a home run!
 Great until the HDMI stops August 14, 2010

I owned the SR-606 for two years. Then the HDMI would stop recognizing the input sources, just as some other reviewers note. It eventually works, you just have to be willing to wait up to 5-10 minutes and switch between sources several times. You've been warned, as this appears to be a problem this Onkyo series has suffered with for a few versions.
