Onkyo TX-SR875S 7.1 Channel Home Theater Receiver Reviews
Does a beautiful job feeding 1080P to a Sony 60A3000 SXRD. Tuning down the SXRD's brightness allows a virtually artifact-free image. Really solid video processing. My objective was to improve performance while reducing cabling by using only HDMI cables.
I have had the 875 for a month now and it has performed flawlessly in my main home theater application. I would highly recommend and feel it provides a lot of bang for the buck. The 875's power and greater ability to drive my B&W speakers is amazing and noticeably better. The Onkyo 875 replaced a 2 year old Denon 2807 unit primarily because of the extra HDMI inputs allowed me to connect a Direct TV DVR, Sony PS3, DVD all via HDMI. To the issue of heat, my unit is "on" a significant amount of time each day and the unit does get warm, but nothing as crazy as some of the reviews indicate. The initial set up was very easy to follow and it tweaked my B&W speaker arrangement with precision.
you can tuch it no harm. sound and picture quality is reall good. it took me more then two month to decide after reviewing lot of comments about receiever's from sony, onkyo, denon and more.
so i picked this one and i just put one small fan and this receiever is cool. dont believe in when some review say that onkyo sr-875 get hot and. most of the receiever has more then one problem and only onkyo had only one comments about heat. no problem.
and you can use receiever remote to control most of your device. this is the best receiever.
Continued to pursue refund/replacement with Onkyo. Said since the unit was a second time repair(whatt. After 3 1/2 months in their facility, they returned the unit just as I sent it to themUNREPAIRED. they didn't fix it the first time.). they would not consider replacing it.
They insisted I return the receiver to the same facility that kept it for 3 1/2 months and never repaired it. Paid for a new reciever and it lasted 6 months. It is now August 13th and each week I get the same answer, parts on backorder. Received my receiver baxck from DTR on 10/9/08. Would never buy from them again based on the terrible Customer Service. KEITH FERGUSON. Purchased the TX-SR875 new from Amazon on Dec 12, 2007. On 17th of June 2008 the HDMI output failed.
HERE IS THE GOOD NEWS. AMAZON IS A GREAT COMPANY. I filed complaints on them with the BBB in New Jersey and with the Texas Atty General. THANK YOU AMAZON. They told me to take a hike. In addition they were rude and arrogant as all get out.
Meanwhile my entire media room is dead in the water waiting on this receiver. This time they said it would be SEVERAL weeks before the parts would be in. We'll see. Contacted Onkyo corporate to inquire about getting a replacement unit. No success. No relief in sight. When I inquired about just getting a replacement unit rather than keeping a customer waiting for weeks open-ended.
HDMI is still burned out. Will see if Amazon can offer any solutions. COMMUNICATED THE PROBLEMS TO THEM AND LET'S JUST SAY, THEY STEPPED UP TO THE PLATE AND DID RIGHT BY THEIR CUSTOMER EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE NOT AT FAULT AND NOT OBLIGATED TO DO SO. KNOW WHERE A LOT OF MY CHRISTMAS SHOPPING WILL BE THIS YEAR. They stated the expected turnaround time would be up to 3 weeks. 10/20/08 UPDATE.
They refused. Worst custome service I have ever dealt with. 11/21/08 UPDATE. I contacted Onkyo USA and they followed up with DTR. It was returned to the Onkyo DTR Service Center in Denver, CO and they received it July 1, 2008.
The 875 puts out great sound and has tons of features. So why spend the extra $550 compared to the sr606.
Hope this helps. There really is no reason for your typical home theater system.
The 606 also runs a little hot but not as much. The sr875 runs ridiculously hot and you will need fans to cool it if you want it to last.
I did tons of research and noticed several bloggers said the same thing, and I learned the hard way they are right. It changed, but did not improve the picture compared to my new sony w4100 tv.
But, I bought this unit in large part for the Reon video chip and was not impressed. I returned it and bought the 606 which is fantastic, has plenty of power and has all the features you will need.
