Onkyo TX-SR393 5.2 Channel A/V Receiver

Awesome receiver for an affordable price! I bought this for my home entertainment system and to play music from my iPhone. It easily powers my high power speakers and the Bluetooth connection with my phone is strong and stable.

Nice receiver -works well -easy to set up.

I have a great speaker from Denon and ended up checking on their website which had a few specials - one on a refurbished receiver. I thought, well, I like their speaker and the receiver is a good price...so I ordered it. When I received it, it worked for a little less than THREE HOURS before is simply refused to turn on. Returned it and started looking for a receiver that was similarly placed and this Onkyo was my choice. I got it set up in no time and after setting up the surround sound speakers to work with it, I turned on the TV and it has been working like a champ since. Sounds great, easy to set up and is exactly what I wanted. I may not be able to afford a hugely expensive home theater system, but for my price point, this receiver is an excellent choice. I paired it with a Klipsch surround sound set of speakers. Together they make it a pleasure to watch a movie, especially a musical!

I bought this to update my home office sound setup. Wasn't sure I wanted another Onkyo. I like the way they function, and have a bigger one in my home theater. But the first unit I bought 10 years ago for the theater failed (a bad HDMI board) and could not be fixed as Onkyo couldn't provide the part. It was a common problem at the time. (Made a lot of owners unhappy.) But I replaced that unit and have been very satisfied and so I bought this additional Onkyo and am happy with it, too. Good interface and controls, very versatile. Quality? We'll see.

I have read that this AVR is considered "entry level", but I have to disagree. I really like it, and it has plenty of muscle to push its crystal clear sound. Very happy with my choice, and if you're looking for a 5.2 AVR, you'll be very happy, too.

First time in 40 years I haven't been happy with an Onkyo product.After 20 years in my dusty 1000 sq ft workshop, my Pioneer receiver failed. Looking for an inexpensive replacement, I zeroed in on the Onkyo because I believed I would be getting "good bank for the buck". Boy, was I wrong.Here are just a few of the major disappointments:1. I knew I was in trouble [power-wise] when the speaker connections were too small to take the wire connecting my 6 ohm surround sound speakers; not sure, but I don't think the new terminals can take anything much larger than 20 ga speaker wire.2. There's no manual3. The "Quick Start" insert sheet is filled with incorrect and ambiguous information, especially at steps #4 and #5; you're mostly on your own and must have good trouble-shooting skills.4. You cannot set this thing up off-line and then move it into position; it must be connected to a TV.5. To get any volume, I had to crank it to "75" ... let's say that 75% of the power ... and then I measured the volume at -6db below what the Pioneer was delivering at 30% power!6. At the "75", I got ~ 0% output from my powered sub-woofer.I think that's enough "fair warning". I can't recommend this unit to anyone, even if all you have is a 5.0 system in a 10x10" bathroom.I will be returning the unit and the search will be on for actual "replacement" ... first I have to find the specs on the older unit.

"value for money", "sheerness" and "thickness"... There, mentioned. OK, now that's out of the way, let's review!First off, out of the box it has a nice sleek look to it that most Onkyo receivers have, but some of the buttons look like a cheaper style set up on the right side of the receiver that will definitely catch the eye of older Onkyo component consumers that just don't look right, but function properly and as described, just look cheaper and different than we're used to.Sound quality, I'm using KLM satellite surrounds, 2 Bose 3n1s for my 2 front RnL, and another KLM for center, and a Polk audio 10" sub 100w with this and it sounds very full and clear.The remote is very nice. It adds useful buttons like the tone control buttons. You are gonna love the vocal button for that low volume dialog(depending on what settings you use, it's not available in all listening formats). Other than that, it's a fairly easy to use remote.If you are using a newer TCL Roku TV, this unit connects to it so well. Volume controls and everything when using eARC and CeC. Just love the simplicity.Anyway, if you're looking for a great 5.2 Receiver for a sweet deal of a price and a cool name, look no further.P. S. I've had home theater set ups in my homes since I was a child, and I'm 43 now. Just trying to let folks know, I have had my share of receivers. From my pop to me, and to my son, we love good quality home entertainment.

I have gone thru alot of A/v systems over the years...and one trend i have noticed is the continued release of less amplify and more so so smart features that hardly anyone uses for more money. THIS unit DELIVERS!!!!
