Opting for the convenience of packaged home theater doesn’t mean you have to compromise on quality. With the new HT-S6200 receiver/speaker package, you get advanced A/V processing and amplification with the Onkyo stamp of reliability. The receiver’s four HDMI™ 1.3a inputs handle 1080p video as well as high-definition surround-sound codecs by DTS and Dolby. Compatibility with Dolby Pro Logic IIz gives you the option of incorporating front height channels into your home theater set-up. Meanwhile, onboard Audyssey equalization and volume technologies adapt the soundstage to the dimensions of your room and maintain clarity at different loudness levels. A proprietary Universal Port allows single-cable connection of the included Dock for the iPod or an optional Onkyo HD Radio™ tuner. Low-end frequencies are handled by a 290 W powered subwoofer, while seven finely matched surround-sound speakers ensure that, whatever playback component you hook up, the HT-S6200 will deliver a fully immersive home theater experience.

i got this system for christmas after looking long and hard at other surround sound packages and wasnt looking to spend alot of money. i was looking at the panasonic SC-BT300 , the Samsung HT-BD1250 and LG LHB953 since i did not have a blu ray player then. i was looking for a simple upgrade to my panasonic SAHT740, mostly since it only played dvds in 5.1. i then figured i should just get a system that does one thing well other then a system that does a few things just adequate and also considering that blu ray could be surpassed by another format down the line. after reading many reviews, the onkyo 7200 seemed like the system to get, with its tall boy speakers and upconversion, but at over $800, it was a little too pricey. then i looked at the 5200-but decided against it since it needs digital optical audio cables to run the audio plus the HDMI to run video. the 6200 was a terrific compromise between both, and seeing that i dont use analog cables anyway, it was just what i needed. once you program the reciever with the Audyssey 2EQ mic, the sound is astounding! i aint the most A/V savvy guy around, so this made my life ALOT easier. the speaker setup and connection was simple and straight foward. so was the placement of the 8 included speakers, even with my oddly shaped living room (although finding room for that big subwoofer was a little tricky). since this is a 7.1 setup with no tallboys, i figured id have to buy a at least 3 sets of stands- that wasnt the case. i used the old stands i had, put the far surround speakers on the wall and just put the front speakers on my entertainment center- which was a temporary fix, but now its a fix i see no need in upgrading. the Audessey will help correct any misteps you might make in placing any of the speakers. my living room setup right now consists of a Panasonic TH-50PX80U, my Verizon cable box/DVR and a PS3 slim (set to bitstream)as well as the the 6200. unfortunatly, there isnt much "direct" 7.1 content available, so im usually using the Dolby EX, DTS NEO:6, or PRO LOGIC IIx listening modes to expand the sound and couldnt be happier with the processing results. i havent yet hooked up any additional front "height" speakers, and do not see a need to as of yet, therefore i havent tried the PRO LOGIC IIZ listening mode. i certainly recommend this system to anyone who is looking for an upgrade, who may have an old system with no HDMI capabilities, or who doesnt even have a theater setup yet and is looking to get lost in a movie (or even a PS3 game). to most with a decent 5.1 setup, 7.1 might not seem like a huge leap foward, though for me, now that i have heard it (even if it is, as in most cases, simulated) i can never go back. the sound it produces just from your cable source alone will make you feel that you should be paying an admittance fee.

 "Superb and affordable" 2010-02-08
By GenZen (New Milford, NJ USA)
I bought this audio system after reading all the reviews. All I can say is wow! I just watched Superbowl 44 and the half-time with the WHO was just amazing. I felt like I was physically their with the crowd. I had my system cranked up to almost 90% and there wasn't any distortion. It was just clean and awesome. I don't use all the speakers since my basement entertainment room(16 x 14) is wired to handle 6.1 and not 7.1. But this HT system can be configured as a 6.1 instead of 7.1. My next upgrade will be to purchase two tower speakers and make my existing front speakers front-high speakers. Yes, this system can handle two set of front speaker and handle 9 total speakers (2 front high, 2 front low, 1 center, 2 surround, 2 back and 1 sub!!!)



BTW - This is my second home theater system from Onkyo. i bought a 6.1 system about 5 years ago that I am still using today as a 3.1 system in our living room and it still sounds great.

I recently bought my second LCD tv (Samsung LN46b750) and i wanted to have a really kick ass sound system to go with it. Problem was, most of the high end systems cost about 1000 dollars, a bit too pricey for the wife to stomach. Fortunately for me and my wallet, i stumbled upon the Onkyo HT-s6200. I saw the price tag and couldn't believe it. I wen't ahead and made the purchase knowing that Onkyo is one of the best in the buisness and boy am i glad i did. This system blows away my old Philips HTIB, which was a very good system. The connections are very easy, may seem a little intimidating at first, but just follow the diagram and you can't go wrong. The subwoofer on this system is HUGE! And you can really hear the difference when you play a bluray. This system is incredible, the sound clarity through the ipod/iphone dock is really astounding. A word of warning though, the system uses a power plug and the subwoofer uses one too, so make sure you have two open slots. If you don't want to have your sat/dvr box on all the time i suggest buying a Digital Optical Cable, usually around 4 bucks. The diagram has you connecting your sat/dvr box to the reciever and NOT the tv, so that means whenever you turn on your dvr box the reciever WILL be on all the time. I currently have my bluray and dvr box connected to the tv with an HDMI cable and i have the TV connected to the reciever with the optical cable, which i think is more practical for most people who don't want to use a huge amount of electricity. I purchased this for 550 bucks, if you can get it at the same price or cheaper do not hesitate! Amazon did an awesome job of getting this is perfect shape as usual, plus the box has tons of styrofoam so don't worry too much.

 "Easy, easy and great sound!" 2010-02-06
By S. Marshall (GA)
We love our new sound system by Onkyo. It was very easy to hook up. I am a blonde female and I could do it! It has colored wires so you know which ones go to which speakers and in the back of the receiver. We have a concrete foundation and last week we had a new floating floor put on top of it. I made sure that the wires going across doorways were put down where they should be and since the wires are very long, it was no problem. With so many speakers you want true surround sound. After the installation of the flooring was completed I turned on everything and all the speakers worked perfectly. We are very happy. Reading the other reviews before we bought this helped us to make our decision on which one we wanted to buy. Thank you Amazon.

Built around a solid and well-specified receiver, the HT-S7200 has earned its place at the top of Onkyo’s 2009 range of receiver/speaker packages. With five HDMI™ 1.3a inputs, the receiver is fully equipped to handle multiple sources carrying high-def 1080p video and HD audio from Dolby and DTS. The system also handles Dolby Pro Logic IIz, which adds a spacious new vertical dimension to movie and game soundtracks. Connected component- or composite-video sources can be upscaled to 1080i and deinterlaced via Faroudja DCDi Edge™ to eliminate unwanted artifacts. Meanwhile, sophisticated Audyssey technologies work to optimize volume levels and adjust the sound stage to suit your room’s acoustics. Further convenience is provided by a Universal Port, which enables one-cable connection of the included Dock for the iPod or Onkyo’s optional HD Radio™ tuner. The highlight of the well-balanced speaker package is a pair of floor-standing, dual-drive tallboys that deliver a fuller mid-range while making a sleek visual statement.

 "Excellent choice" 2010-02-08
By S. Raissi (WOODBRIDGE, CT, US)
Excellent sound quality. Speaker wires are somewhat short and will probably need to purchase more. The deck is quite thick and does not fit into just any cabinet. It can get fairly hot to touch after 2 hours and needs a lot of ventilation. Nevertheless, for this price it is a great buy.

 "Truly Amazing!" 2010-01-30
By JB (Orange,TX USA)
Even after reading all the reviews and researching tons of other HTIBs and separates, I couldn't find a better deal with the quality of an Onkyo receiver....I was skeptic about the speaker quality. Now that I have received everything, unpackaged it (packed well by the way), connected everything, optimized the speakers...WOW! I am no longer skeptic and an advocate for this system. Very impressive sound quality, easy connection hook up (speaker is thin--22awg, but color coded to make it a little easier and cleaner...lower gauge would be better, but I don't know if I would notice). I am running a 52" Toshiba Regza LCD, HD Receiver, LG BD700 Blu-ray, and a WII. Couldn't be happier with the quality of picture and sound. Quick setup instructions were great...remote is easy and intuitive...on-screen programming was simple and easy. To top it all off, there is an IPOD dock that is somewhat integrated. On the remote are what is described as "Listening" settings. There is Movie/TV, Game, and two others. You can quickly stick in a movie, push the Movie/TV Listener button and quickly and simply choose the desired audio setting. There are numerous options, but get filtered when you choose Movie, Game, etc. Go ahead and buy at least one additional HDMI cable (from the Onkyo out to the TV....get it from Mediabridge....best buy)



Bottom line...this is a great system to buy, not to mention the price. I am sure you could buy a Denon or Yamaha receiver and some Klipsch or Polk speakers and spend 4 times the amount to impress your friends, but this is the system to buy if you want practical, value, quality and a good deal. Can't go wrong. BTW, purchased from Vann's through Amazon marketplace...great experience!

 "Great Product" 2010-01-19
By Michael Clapp
This htib is incredible. For a long time I wanted surround sound but I didn't want to go with a crappy htib that only has 1 hdmi input. Finally I found this Onkyo model. So far the sound is great on games, movies, tv, and music. The video upconverting works decently, although I wouldn't call it stellar.



My favorite things about this product are:

1) Ipod dock: It isn't perfect, and you can't see your playlists on the tv, but it's great if you make a playlist or want to watch a video downloaded from itunes.

2) Sound quality is amazing

3) It's fairly easy to set up. I had to snake a few cables through the ceiling, but it works great. It took maybe 2 hours to get everything hooked up plus do the calibration. All the speakers and wires are color-coded to streamline the process.

4) The calibration optimizes the system for your listening needs, depending on where you sit in the room, how far the speakers are from one another, and the height of the speakers.

5) 5 hdmi inputs: I can plug my PS3, 360, and cable box in, and I still have 2 more slots for future devices.

6) Upconverts video from composite or component cables to 1080i, 720p, or 480p depending on your preference. This is great for Wii owners, or anyone with a DVD player. The quality isn't superb, but I see a noticeable difference from before I had the receiver.

7) HDMI carries both sound and picture, and you only need one cable to go from the receiver to the TV. This means that if you have component or composite cables hooked up to the receiver, you don't need another set of the same cable plugged into the TV; it all goes through the one hdmi cable.



The one downside: The cables it comes with are fairly thin. I bought 100 feet of 16 gauge wire to hook up the surround sound and surround back speakers that are further away; I would recommend this. But for the front and center speakers, I just used the supplied wires. The distance from these speakers to the receiver is fairly short, so I wasn't too worried about losing sound quality. The sound has been amazing.



If you're looking for a home theater in a box, and you can afford to spend the extra 200 dollars to get this model over a Sony or a Samsung htib, I highly recommend this. It has everything you need and the value is amazing considering the price. All of the parts are sold separately as well, so they aren't cheap parts designed just for this set. This is the best value htib out there, and the quality is top-notch.

 "Excellent bang for the buck" 2010-01-14
By J. Matusow (Gilbert, AZ)
I have been using my Onkyo HT-S7200 for two weeks now, and I am HIGHLY impressed with the entire system. Sound quality is fantastic, the HDMI pass-through works like a charm (1080p and audio). The tallboy speakers are good looking with the black wooden design. Very large subwoofer really completes the sound as well.



The only downfall of this entire package is that the surround speakers are fairly large, so they aren't easy to hide and can seem bulky if you are going to wall mount them. I personally used some Atlantic speaker stands with the double-sided tape (due to the positioning of the bracket on the speakers). Worked like a charm.



I would recommend this package to anyone looking for component quality without the inconvenience of trying to match up receivers and speaker packages.
