Exceeding even the highest expectations, the TX-SR875 A/V surround sound receiver deserves all the accolades it gets.

You'll also find a blend of onboard technologies to prime your home theater for high-definition playback. You're looking at the first HDMI equipped Onkyo receiver to take up to four components with 1080p video and master-quality audio capabilities. All other signals, from 480i on up, can be upscaled to 1080p via HQV Reon-VX. Also, THX, Audyssey, and Texas Instruments lend the very best of their expertise to round out this high-quality control center.

 "Receiver's display failure" 2009-10-14
By Mel B. Solana (Arlington, Texas)
I bought the TX-SR875S from amazon.com on 3/13/08. No problem until 10/12/09 when I found the led front display was not working. I attempted to reset per manual suggestion...unsuccessful. I called onkyo and was referred to 2 service center in Dallas. I brought the merchandise to K.O. Electronics and was told it was going to take about 4-6 weeks and that they were the only service center in Texas (inferring I have no choice). I informed him that Audio electronics also in Dallas repairs Onkyo. I called Audio Electronics and they too have 3-4 weeks waiting and that they only recently started accepting onkyo products only a few months ago. K.O. electronics blames the wait due to work back log and back order supplies. The next nearest service center is in Denver. I also found out this problem has happen to this model several times and can be fixed in a matter of hours (2-3). This product comes with a 2 year manufacturer warranty. It is by far the best receiver I've listened to (NHT classic 7.1 speaker set up/ 60" sony) when working. Beware when buying onkyo product because if it fails your up creek due to lack of support. I found out the hard way....lesson learned.

Great Sound and Video at a low price! Make sure you give it plenty of room to breath because it will run hot! Compare the specs on this to anything priced close to it and you will see what a great deal it really is.

By Edward Hermann
Excellent unit...excellent sound reproduction. The unit has a 1080p upconversion for your Plasma TV. I deem it a great buy, and very feature rich.



I am no amplifier geek, but I can tell you that I have connected a lot of equipment to this unit and it functions very well.



Disadvantages: 1) High heat output. 2) When connecting the video output to the TV, there is a time delay in getting the video signal to the TV when the system turns on. 3) The unit is heavy.

Really solid video processing. My objective was to improve performance while reducing cabling by using only HDMI cables. Does a beautiful job feeding 1080P to a Sony 60A3000 SXRD. Tuning down the SXRD's brightness allows a virtually artifact-free image.

 "Onkyo TX-SR875" 2008-09-24
By J. Johnson (Connecticut, USA)
I have had the 875 for a month now and it has performed flawlessly in my main home theater application. The initial set up was very easy to follow and it tweaked my B&W speaker arrangement with precision. 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. The 875's power and greater ability to drive my B&W speakers is amazing and noticeably better. 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. I would highly recommend and feel it provides a lot of bang for the buck.

 "happy with speakers" 2010-01-15
By Warren Johnson (seattle, wa)
I bought these last month to play with pioneer vsx 1019. Overall Im happy with this set for the price. I feel the music sounds good, im sure other speakers probably can sound better but your paying 300 for 7.1 system, so for the price I think it sounds great. If you want higher quality your going to pay more for it... Also i went out and bought speaker wire as the ones that came with it weren't long enough for my room. i also bought banana plugs on [...] for under 20 bucks to plug into back which i would highly recommend, much easier to plug into the back of the receiver. i would recommend this set for the price if your not willing to fork out alot of money.

By Troy Montgomery (Riverview, FL United States)
I'm no speaker expert but they sound great to me. The only thing I would change about them is to put better mounting hardware on the 4 surround speakers. They only have a little eye for hanging on a nail or screw.

 "Great Receiver, Great Deal" 2010-02-14
By J. Day (Simpsonville, SC United States)
Let me start off by saying that I'm not really buying into the 2010 receiver lineup. I don't believe that DSX is that great of a feature, I don't believe that HDMI 1.4 will be that necessary. Therefore, I purchased last year's 876 for a STEAL. I am upgrading from a 2006 mid-level Denon receiver and really needed HDMI scaling. I appreciate that this receiver will let you choose what setting to apply on each input. Also, for the price, I am glad to have dual HDMI outputs for my front projector and lcd. The Audyssey MultiEQ XT performs well, needing very minor adjustments to fine tune to my personal listening tastes. My main dislike with Onkyo receivers (which has been well documented) is the heat that they output.

 "More features than anything in this price range." 2010-02-12
By Daniel T. Wright (Hillsboro, Oregon USA)
If you want power for an price you can't beat than buy this unit. Onkyo says it rates at 140 watts X 7 channels at 8 ohms. I don't know about that however. When setting up the unit you have two choices (4 ohms or 6 ohms and higher). I bought this item in December 2009, I belive this unit has been out for two years. If you buy this unit or any Onkyo in this class I would recommend an av component cooler, becasuse this unit runs hot. Just another quick note the setup menu is pretty cool too.

 "Great Receiver" 2010-01-06
By CardioDoc (Atlanta, GA United States)
A first class product - have had it for 9 months. Sounds great and Reon Video processor does a super job - I have all content upgraded to 1080p to 60" Pioneer Plasma. Interface is pretty easy, but takes some time with the manual to understand things. Does run hot, so needs ventilation. Looks like this is being phased out so you can get them cheap. Always had good luck with Amazon and electronic purchases.

 "I like it" 2009-12-17
By ChilliConCarnage (Seattle, WA USA)
When I bought my XBox360 and PS3 last year, I started looking for a receiver that could replace my Harmon Kardon and Silicon Image DVDO scaler, with a receiver that had HDMI. All of my research led me to this unit. For me, the multiple HDMI inputs were very important, but it also had to take multiple legacy inputs (I have a laserdisc player, for example, with a large movie collection), and process them as well. So the REON was very important to me, and it would allow my to replace the DVDO.



In practice, I think the DVDO was a bit better at scaling/de-interlacing, but the convenience provided by all the features being built into one unit make up for that.



Secondly, I have to sing the praises of the Audyssey MultiEQ. After having used other auto calibration setups before, I would rank the Audyssey as the best that I've tried.



I've had the unit for almost a year now, and have enjoyed it. I placed a 120mm 12V fan in my entertainment center, and have never had any problems with it over-heating.



I took away one star for the fairly generic remote. In the price class, I would expect something better. Other receivers I've had in the past included two-way RF communication, LCD displays, or other features that set them apart in some way. The remote that comes with the 876 has nothing special about it.

 "Onkyo TX-SR876: Good unit! Lots of pros - some cons too." 2009-12-03
By Cyrus R. Mody (Greensboro,, NC United States)
I sold my older TX-SR800 THX Onkyo amplifier and replaced it with this unit mainly for the HDMI interfaces.



That part works great. I have hooked up my Blue Ray DVD player and my HD TIVO DVR to the new Onkyo TX-SR876. One HDMI output going to the HD TV. This is great.



Speaker configuration:

I strongly suggest owning or borrowing a tripod for the speaker calibration.

I also recommend running through (although it is not required) ALL the speaker `room positions' I believe the minimum is 4 positions.



Once calibrated you will immediately notice crystal clear separation of sound between all your channels assuming you are using a 7.1 setup.



Playing Blue-Ray DVD's or regular DVD's or CD's the sound processing is great.



Cons:

I am giving this review 4 stars instead of 5 because I have noticed and experienced one specific issue.

When watching regular TV, it is really hard to hear clearly. What I mean is - I have to crank up the volume to approximately mark 65-70 to hear a good strong loud sound. Then again if I happen to watch a HD programming like Fringe or Survivor, the sound is good. Swap over to the local news which is broadcast in regular non HD and you have the sound processing and volume issue.



So I have to constantly adjust the volume depending on what I am watching.

I never had this problem with my old unit. My old TX-SR800 was `powerful' I never ran the volume above mark 60 (honestly I did only once and rattled everything in the house forcing paintings to fall off the wall. Let's just say that was a one-off test).



You could rectify this `volume' issue by manually configuring the speaker calibration levels on the Onkyo TX-SR876. You can crank up the levels on all the speakers and you will NOT have the problem of having to turn the volume up high. BUT I have noticed when doing that it impacts the sound and clarity. Especially when watching DVD's and Blue-Ray the sound will be effected because the separation of sound between all the speakers will not be balanced and `fine-tuned'.



All in all this is a great amplifier with great features for a great price. Some quirks but nothing one can't live with.

For maximum audio impact, your multichannel Onkyo receiver should be accompanied by a full-blooded surround-sound speaker set. Fitting the bill is the new SKS-HT870, a 7.1-channel system that injects power and vitality into all your movies, games, and music. The highlight, both visually and aurally, is a pair of dual-drive, floor-standing tallboy front speakers rated conservatively at 130 W. In concert with the two-way center and full-range surround and surround-back speakers—each also rated 130 W—they deliver stunningly detailed high- and mid-range frequencies. Meanwhile, at the bottom end, a superbly calibrated 290 W subwoofer adds visceral heft to bass notes and low frequency effects.

 "Terrible Service from Onkyo" 2010-02-01
By Bobby
Onkyo states in the shipping documents that this item comes with the ipod docking station and they did send it before with the docking station but the item I recieved did not include it and when I made calls to find out why, I was simply told that if I don't like it I can return it, knowing full well that the items are too bulky to resent and the cost is prohebitive of doing so.

The service is an important part of an item and as far as I am concerned this is the last time I buy anything from Onkyo as I know most other customer services will not simply tell you to take it or leave it, and tell you not to bother contacting them!

Also the system came with its own speaker cables!! if your just getting into the whole home theather game like i am!! try these out!! they are worth the price!! very solid system

 "Good quality/build plus some extras add up to great value" 2009-10-16
By A. Dent (Minas Anor, GD)
I am happy with this speaker set because, in my view, I got a lot of value for what I paid. I wouldn't call myself an Onkyo fan when it comes to entertainment devices - Sony receiver, Sony PS3, Sony BD player, Samsung TV - but I am aware of Onkyo's reputation for quality and this set of speakers doesn't disappoint.



All prospective buyers should be aware that these are 6 Ohm (SIX OHM) speakers. They will work well with 6 Ohm receivers, of course, and you SHOULD be able to use them with an 8 Ohm receiver if it's kept in a well-ventilated shelf and you don't keep it continuously at full blast. My own receiver is 8 Ohm and it seems to be Okay but both Onkyo and the receiver maker may not want to honor the warranty if they get word of this.





CONTENTS



What you get is good quality, 130W speakers encased in well-built wood boxes, a 290W powered woofer and then, there are a couple of unexpected bonuses.



- 1 Center speaker, surprisingly large

- 2 Front speakers on 'tower' stands (tallboy) - will save you money on speaker stands but if you're thinking about hanging them, this is not your set.

- 4 Satellite speakers - do have hanging holes

- 1 Woofer - powered, connects through 'banana' jacks on both ends

- Color-coded wires for each speaker - kind of thin and I used my own, see below but... they're free

- Onkyo UP-A1 Dock for the iPod - this was totally unexpected





SETUP



A screwdriver will be needed to attach the heavy metal base to the front, floor-standing speakers.



If you go with the color-coded wires, connecting everything is easy. I decided that I wanted thicker, copper speaker wire so I went with ACOUSTIC RESEARCH AP-16100W 100' White 16 Gauge Oxygen-Free Speaker Wire and I'm happy I did that. The 100 ft. spool was about 25 ft. short of what I needed so, until I get another 25 ft., one of my satellite speakers will be using the Onkyo-supplied wire so I'm happy they included these.



The center and satellite speakers have mounting holes in the back but not on the base. I like my center speaker to sit on top of the TV and that was accomplished with about 1 ft. of Velcro 2"-wide tape. I used Velcro on the 4 stands as well as, in my view, it preserves the speaker's integrity and it even offers some cushioning.



I do not own an iPod or an Onkyo receiver so the iPod Dock I am trying to sell at Amazon. Hopefully, there will be a buyer and that should help reduce the overall cost of this set.





THE EXPERIENCE



I only have good things to say about this set. For what I paid, it fully meets my expectation. The sound is full, crisp and if there are any distortions my ear is not trained or sensitive enough to detect them.



Physically, the boxes look professionally built and designed, uncompromising black matte with the sides of the center, the top of the front speakers and the woofer's front a perfect shiny polish - don't touch them or the fingerprints could be seen from a distance. The tall front pair is stable even on my carpeted floor.





RATING



This set deserves its 5 stars well for delivering good quality, well-built speakers and the couple of extras - wires, iPod dock. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a 7.1 set of 6 Ohm speakers.

 "Great system..." 2009-10-07
By Jaffer Mahsoob (Little Rock, AR)
I had been looking for a reasonably priced 7.1 system, this one has been perfect. The speakers are unobtrusive, and reasonably sized, and the sound quality is great for a sub-$400 system. I wasn't aware when I purchased the set that it also includes the Onkyo UP-1A iPod adapter, while I have no idea why it is included it was a nice bonus, however I suspect that the $90 optional adapter increased the price, and it only works with Onkyo receivers (I have a Sony), for Onkyo Receiver owners this could save an extra purchase. I put mine up for sale on Amazon marketplace. The sub is more than adequate for the 14x14 room that I have my TV in, and the surround effect is spot on. All in all, I'm quite pleased with the quality of construction and the quality of the sound. The included speaker wire is good in a pinch, but I opted for thicker Monster speaker wire, I don't know enough about wire to tell if it made a difference, but I thought it was nice that the wire was included...
