BEFORE YOU BUY an AV Receiver! (Part 2) Onkyo TX-NR7100 TX-NR6100 & TX-NR5100

Thanks for the quick shipping on my 7100. Now I just need time to set it up 😉 (after the holidays)

Is there a Part 1???

I had the 6100. HDMI CEC didn't work if the unit was powered off for longer than two minutes. Return it and got another...then returned that one. It's a shame, it sounded so good.

Did onkyo ever fix there HDMI problems

I got a 6100, plugged in the speakers. As soon as I plugged in power, I hear something pop and then smoke coming out of the top. 😰

Jammin my Onkyo TX-NR809 today. Wondering if i should use the bi amping option? 135 watts, will it make a difference? Polk Monitor 70 II.

I think you do a great job on your videos
Keep up the good work cheers Doug.
😁😆😂

How about 7100 vs RZ50?
Im looking for amp for CINEMA and STEREO - 50/50.
Which one is better solution to be paired with Oberon9?

can anyone confirm if the NR7100 displays the volume bar/volume overlay at 4K60? current AVR only shows at 4K30 and AVR is in cabinet so need volume feedback on screen

Fantastic video!! You guys are the best!!

My 8k enhanced isnt working to get 4k 120hz on my Xbox. Any idea what I’m doing wrong??

Is it possible to do 2.1.2 Atmos setup with TX-NR7100?

More power more onk & onk + onk power. Tim. Tayler. Tool time. All get my ONK 🎉

Is the 6100 good for Dolby Atmos 7.1 channel setup? I also want 120hz and Dolby Vision

Hi Just Audio. couled you PLEASE HELP me ? I've just bought TX-NR6100 and have annoying problem with passthrough.
Is it possible to setup it well or I have to back my Onkyo to the store ?
Problem - passthrough works randomly. When I turn on SAT BOX or Chromecast I would like TV to turn on only and use TV speakers till I do not turn on NR6100. In practice sometimes it works but usually receiver turns on itself and automatically external speakers are used.
I HDMI options I have only OFF / Auto / Auto (Eco). No any other option to manually force particular source for passthrough.
Any solution ?

If i got 2 tvs side by side can i use 1 av reciever with surround sound, 1 speaker for left tv an 1 speaker for right tv (roblox on xbox son/daughter)

Man i had an onkyo it was older. The ones with the dts chip problem. I didnt know about it. My reciever started cutting out. I called onlyo. They didnt say anything about the problem just said reset it. It worked for a month then went completely out. Called them they said oh thats the chip problem you should have gotten ahold of us a minth ago. Now we cant do anything. After that i will never buy onkyo.

Just ordered the 6100. Just gonna run it as 2.2 channel system. I like the 100 watts to make sure the 2 speakers get plenty of sound to fill up the 12x24 ft room.

Hdmi 2.1?

Kindly send it for me thanks I

RZ is the best

Hi, I currently use the Denon AVR-X550BT with a 5.2 Klipsch surround sound. I have 1 12 inch subwoofer though. I want to keep increasing my sound system because I'm a maniac. What receiver do you think I should buy? I want at least 210W per channel.

Oh cool i just bought the 6100 and its stuck in headphone mode with no headphones in. It works through headphones but if i unplug then it still thinks there in. What a waste of time and money

Where is the link (URL) to Part 1?

sound quality compare to yamaha A2A avantage?

TX-NR6100 ist my favourite😀👍

Thanks for your helpul video introduction! I have a question reg. 7100; can I use the LINE OUT for a analog Vintage tapedeck (e.g. Sony TC-K 909 ES
) to record e.g. Music from TuneIn, Phono analog turntable , etc. playing over the 7100 ?

I recently purchased the TX-NR6100 back in January and so far really like it except for one issue. I use both the main+sub outputs and when the receiver is in standby, the tvs do not power off. If I turn the standby function off, then power off the receiver, the tvs shut off within 10 seconds. Is this normal operation for the Onkyo to keep the tv powered on when in standby?

I have a TX NR646. I was listening to it on 60 on volume. It powered off . Try to power back up but it would go back off after 4or5 seconds
Can't turn the volume down or get it to stay on. What is going on???

If Im only running 5 channels on the 6100, is it still the same watt output???

Don't forget about Dirac Live on the 7100 :O

It is not only about 8K devices. 4k 120Hz VRR will only work on 8K input. So if you have Xbox X and PS5 and decent PC, you need 3 8K HDMI inputs already.

I thought they were getting out of the game. I'm still rocking a 2007 Pioneer Elite that I really want to upgrade.

Bought the TX NR-6050 from costco on sale for $399, honestly a stupid value for a receiver which actually has 40 gbps 8k60/4k120 ports (looking at you Yamaha (and I think Marantz/Denon as well)). I'm a simple 2..1 man but went AVR to be able to use my speakers with my TV, Apple TV, and Series X, + the phono input for my turntable. This thing is seriously a ridiculous value. Also the ability to bi-amp using this amp is super cool being able to try it out without needing to buy anything beyond a couple more speaker cables.

Beautiful AV Receivers, all of them. I like how even the 5100 has Net / Internet Streaming available, as well as Bluetooth. Basically they are modernized 4K / 8K versions of what I have- a TX-NR616 7.2 Chnnl AV Receiver. // The 5100 / 6100 / 7100 are at great price-points for what you get.

The Onkyo NR7100 is not worth $1299. it's not even half of the RZ50. yes the RZ50 currently sells for $1599. but the RZ50 is twice as good as NR7100. there is also an 11 pounds difference between the two. the NR7100 is not worth more than a thousand $ at best. and even at that price is not a bargain.

No pre outs I'll pass...

Thank you for a very awesome video, question, can I run a wide range of speakers off the 6100? For six or eight ohm speakers? Keep up the great work I love your channel.

So I bought the Onkyo NR6050 (NR6100 w/o thx certification) and it sounds a little "hollow" until you turn the volume up to "65" I am not sure why this is? My TXSR608 (12 yrs old) always sounded full. Both were SPL leveled and room corrected with their AccuEQ. I have also purchased the NR7100 because with the Dirac I thought it would sound better? If it does I will be returning the 6050. If it turns out my speakers are the cause than that will be a whole new can of warms.....

Is the 6050+ any good?

My HT-R990 took a dump .. no sound guy at shop can not fix says there are no DTS chips to find >.?? So i guess i junk it and look for a nice up grade ... Might just look at other makers on receivers?? wish me luck..

I've been looking at the Onkyo TX-NR696, any thoughts?

We don’t have any FM stations that play music……..it’s all country western…………😬😬😬

+++++

If you gave me a free Onkyo product I would immediately throw it away. Would never buy one due to customer service. I had received a AV for my birthday years ago and it didn't work from the start. Customer service knew of the problem with that model and told me that they would fix it for free but I had to pay shipping and handling (close to $100), bullsh*t!

Totally agree. Onkyo delivers the goods.

These are all garbage……don’t trust this guy

I miss the old 1975 Pioneer Receivers ( analog dial AM / FM pre-digital tuning ) , , I loved the black dial and the blue numbers and glass bar indicator . . .

The obligatory ads n begging for likes n subs before the video even starts.....sorry but I don't need a reminder.
