 dollar value + November 16, 2008
HAVE ONLY HAD THIS UNIT FOR 30 DAYS AND IT IS VERY SATISFACTORY AND SEEMS TO BE THE BEST $ VALUE. I DO FEEL THAT ONKYO. SHOULD HAVE PROVIDED A MUCH BETTER VENTILATION FAN, AS THE UNIT GETS QUITE HOT. I PURCHASED A FAN THAT I PLACED ON THE TOP OF THE UNIT AND IT HAS SOLVED THE PROBLEM. INCOMING & OUT GOING CIRCULATION WAS NEEDED!!!!
 Great receiver November 16, 2008
I got this receiver to work with the Samsung Plasma TV I bought here as well...needless to say, to all who are audiophiles or not, this is the BEST receiver for the money...the functions are out of this world, and it's easy to integrate with all your components...no need to look further or pay more...this is an awesome product!

The Onkyo 705 receiver does some things extremely well, but does have some weaknesses which stand out. This is a wonderful receiver if you are able to sidestep the weaknesses. STRONG POINTS: (1) Outstanding analogue audio performance - the analogue preamp is clean as a whistle and very natural although not very "warm sounding" if that appeals to you. (2) A huge roster of features - the automated setup is really great. WEAK POINTS: (1) The digital sound processing sounds quite bad in my system - congested and artificial - so you should absolutely try to keep it in "Direct" mode when using analogue inputs. Yamaha DSP is far superior. (2) The remote control is huge, clunky and ergonomically poor. (3) Power output is clean but limited - use the preamp outputs to external amps if at all possible, which will also reduce the heat emitted. (4) The setup menus are confusing, although once you set it up, you hopefully can forget about that. Overall, this is a great receiver if you can stay within its limits.
Top-rate receiver at a reasonable price October 27, 2008

I purchased the Onkyo to be the centerpiece of a home theater. My requirements were THX-certified (this one is Select2), TrueHD processing, and the ability to upconvert video sources to 1080p. The Onkyo had it all. Setup using the Audyssey system was a breeze, and while I cannot vouch for the video quality (46" LCD is the next piece), the sound on music, movies, and TV are excellent. I'm currently running a 5.1 channel setup with the bi-amped Infinity Beta 50's as my front mains, and the system was able to compensate nicely so that they do not overpower my smaller, rear-channels satellites. In movies, every sound detail is reproduced with excellent clarity, and with nice, even distribution of the bass from the Sony subwoofer. After the new TV is installed, I'll be hooking it up to a second receiver to create a Zone 2 and the system will be very nice - and it all started with the receiver. Definitely recommend this system!
