 "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.

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.

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.

 "Best Sound System if not for..." 2010-02-09
By Bobby J. Truong (Philadelphia, PA)
Wow...the sounds itself sets it apart from many systems that I listen to. The sounds are crystal clear and right on with the bass perfect and not overwhelming and raucous. I actually enjoyed watching many of my films because of enhanced Blu-Ray picture and top of the line sounds. This has to be the best sound home theater system that I owned and listened to (hands down).





Like many things there's always the cons:



1. The receiver gets awfully hot. I have a nice tv stand with a glass door and rear has a large opening for cords. And after 1 hr of usage this receiver gets so hot that my hands begin to burn when I touch it. So wonder how the longevity of the sound system will last. The room gets hot real fast if there's no circulation.

2. The speakers are real nice but big and bulky. Maybe if they're reduced in size just a tad.



I still rate this a five stars because I am in awe of the sounds

 "Great system for the price" 2010-02-07
By M. Hannah (HUNTINGTON BEACH, CA United States)
I have had the system hooked up for about 10 days.



Searching around I saw that I could spend several times the $900 I paid for the system for something that didn't appear to be near as good.



Some reviewers have commented on the packaging. It arrived in one large box attached to its own pallet. Everything was in great condition and it was packed about as well as it could possibly be. There was no noticeable damage on the box. I purchased it from OneCall over Amazon and it arrived in just a few days.



I hooked it up with the wires that came with it and they seem to do fine. The setup was easy and its self-calibration with the included microphone was easy. In fact I have run through that process several times as I have been experimenting with different speaker locations.



The sound from it is great. In fact it takes a little getting used to the realism and realizing that some of the sounds from TV shows are not coming from something else inside the house. It seems to be able to get to a higher volume than I will ever need.



Some reviewers have complained about speaker size. The only one that is particularly large, as far as I am concerned, is the subwoofer. I don't consider the size to be a significant concern as all of the speakers look fine and fit in with the room decor.



I have the inputs going into the HDMI plugs and a single HDMI going from the device to the TV. It switches easily between the different sources using a Harmony One remote, which I also recommend highly. Logitech Harmony One Advanced Universal Remote.



I am not an audiophile, so I can't comment on the more technical aspects of the performance, but to me it is a great system and matches well in quality with my Kuro TV. All in all, if you are someone who wants a quick and easy solution for an sound system w/o spending many thousands of dollars, this one is a great bet.

 "Onkyo HT-S9100THX" 2010-01-30
By CaptTurbo (SW Florida)
Every once in a while I come across something that is really special. Something that brings great satisfaction. This unit still makes me smile after a couple months of daily usage. Movies are fantastic at home now.



I matched the Onkyo up with a Sharp 52" LCD HDTV. The Sharp has 5 HDMI inputs which really simplified the wiring. I love how easy it is to switch between components by using the Onkyo remote. Really convenient!



I read a lot of reviews before buying this HTIB and would like to thank those that took the time to describe this system so well. I agree with most of what I read in those reviews. One point I don't agree on is that many say that you need heavier speaker wire. The wire that comes with the system does seem pretty light but it works just fine. If the runs of wire are long enough for your room, save your money and use what came with it. I needed more length for the rears so I just spliced in what I needed.



The speakers are pretty big but the sound they produce justifies that for me. I love battle scenes on this system. You will find yourself right in the middle of things with bullets whipping past you from all sides. Explosions heard from all directions! Earth shattering base from the 12" sub woofer. This system blows me away. I can't believe that I bought it for less then a grand! Free shipping at the time as well.

I mounted the front three speakers on screws directly in the wall. They are substantial so I made sure to sink the screws into studs. The sides and rears I put on 31" stands which seems to work fine. I did put some hook and loop fasteners between the speakers and the platforms to elliminate the possibility of accidentally knocking them off.



As other reviewers have said, the set-up feature with the microphone is wonderful! With this feature I didn't have to have the side speakers the same distance away. For my room it just wasn't possible. My right side speaker is about 15' away and the left side is no more then 4' away but they both sound very balanced because the receiver "knows" where each speaker is and how much juice to pump to them!



Rather then go on and on (though I certainly could) about how fantastic the HT-S9100THX is, let me just say that I can't imagine a better sounding system that would be anywhere near this price point. This has to be the most bang for your buck by far. I would definitely buy it again and give it 5 stars. If you are on the fence, by all means pull the trigger!

 "Subwoofer Hum" 2010-01-20
By J. Luke (DC)
I had been hearing a hum from the subwoofer which was much louder when I ran a space heater. I tested whether it was a grounding issue by using a 3-prong to 2-prong AC plug converter. This eliminated most of the hum. Not wanting to leave the system ungrounded, I purchased the Ebtech Hum X, plugged all of my components (cable box, receiver, subwoofer, Blu-ray player, HD TV) into a single surge protector and plugged it into the Hum X. There's only a hardly noticeable hum now from the subwoofer, even with the space heater running. I'll try an in-line ground loop isolator ($10 from Radio Shack) between the receiver and subwoofer to see if it eliminates the remainder.



BTW, for front speaker stands, I got the Benno CD tower from IKEA, cut it in half and added a base for stability. The brown-black is about the same color. Functional and looks good too.
