Just got the nr6050 today, can confirm, my ps5 & xbox series x can pass thru @ 4k 120hz
Thanks for watching! Pinned. :)
Did you use both outputs or just the one ARC for both ps5 and xbsx?
@@jstee503 i used the earc output
Can it do 4K 120Hz HDR? Or wondering if it allows the full 48Gbps.
@@xenodata 4k @ 120hz
This is the first video I've seen on your channel. You do a great job. Very well produced and professional. Keep up the good work.
Thank you very much! We appreciate it :)
For $500, this is a great deal. Hope it stands up to long term use. Btw, for anyone considering this unit: be aware the issues experienced by frustrated Onkyo owners over the past many years are generally related to overheating in certain areas of the circuit board. Make sure you do NOT put this unit in an enclosed space! And don’t pile other gear on top of it! Give it plenty of air circulation, to give it the best possible chance of not having those issues.
Thanks for watching! Yep exactly this. As with any component it needs lots of airflow so it doesn't bake itself.
💯 % Right. Let it breath and the receiver will be fine for many years to come. Take the cover off it like once a year and just blow it out...dust and pet hair pile up these things are dust magnets.
I have a small computer fan that plugs into the usb.
This is a very good additional cooling.
Hi, Just picked up my TX-NR6050. I am replacing an older TX-SR-608, which is still working fine. I noticed the excess heat right away. I used the same technique to curb heat on the old TX-SR-608. I place a 12VDC low noise computer fan with blue LEDs on top of case. Since heat rises, the fan is oriented to pull air out of the case. Now the TX-NR6050 runs cool all day. Go Atmos!
I think you got me convinced to pick this receiver up from Costco. I was thinking between this Onkyo 6050, Denton 760H and Yamaha YST-700. But I think this one seem to be the best of the three. The only fear I have is the long term reliability of the Onkyo name for the past few years. I believe it was pretty good in before the 2010s.
Awesome review! Very thorough, extremely articulate and professionally produced. Keep up the great unbiased work. Thank you.
Thank you very much! I'm glad you liked it.😀
The Onkyo seems to have very good forward sound and more discernable dialogue than the Denon. I also like that smooth user interface with EQ settings. These advantages would definitely steer me to the Onkyo despite being a Denon customer since 1986.
I was JUST about to bring home a TX-NR6100 at Best Buy last weekend for $600 and I’m glad that I didn’t after watching your video. I just payed $319 for a TX-NR6050 on Amazon! I wouldn’t have known that these model specs were nearly identical if it hadn’t been for this video. MUCH appreciated!
Glad I could help! Thanks for watching.
Was it renewed?
I recieved my 6050,last week,love IT,one big reason i bought it,was this video,you guys produced,hella good job.I have a 4k 120 tv,after making sum adjustments to it and the 6050 had my xbox series x,firing on all cylinders.Really like the 6050's settings and interface shown on my tv,and i'm getting an infinity t9,i have a book shelf system,7.2,both subs really make it rumble,haha.Finally its great to see good videos on sum of costco's products,i have so far bought 2 of their subs and this reciever,u guys take care and thanx.
Congrats on the New receiver, its our favorite out of the three Costco receivers that we have reviewed. Glad the video was helpful and Thank you for the support we really appreciate it. :)
Purchased and ran with Dayton MK442 LCR, MK402 surround and height (Atmos), all 4 ohm, and 2x Dayton Sub-1200’s. I avoided the Yamaha (like the RX-V6A) entry level receivers as they are not 4ohm rated on all channels. Love the setup. For a budget setup, couldn’t be happier.
That's great to hear!! Performed very well in our tests as well. It drove our 4 ohm speakers very well. Thanks for sharing :)
Exactly the kind of review I needed as someone looking for their first AVR, great work.
Glad it was helpful!
Phenomenal review, you're very articulate and the editing and camerawork are spot on. Great details are provided in the review in a very thorough yet very watchable video. Excellent work.
We really appreciate it! We're glad it was helpful & thanks for watching :)
I know so many people that have been burned by the HDMI issues in last generation Onkyo receivers that they'll never go back. We picked up the S760H a few weeks ago and couldn't be happier. I do like the Onkyo green and that extra HDMI out though!
Thanks for watching! We're glad to hear that you're enjoying the Denon S760H :) Hopefully Onkyo can rebuild the confidence in their brand that they once had. The features are awesome but I do understand the skepticism from a lot of people.
I got the onkyo from Costco, but after trying the Denon 760H. I returned the onkyo and keep the Denon. No way that onkyo can compare to the Denon
We have the denon s760h as well snd happy with it with our Polk speakers
After reading your comment i have skipped onkyo video and purchased denon
Same I can't believe the performance I get from the 760h giving its price!
I had first purchased the Denon 760h to replace my Denon 740h which had a bad hdmi port. The problem I had was not able to get sound with my Samsung Cable Box , Samsung QN90 TV even though It worked with Apple TV. Bought the Onkyo 6050. I love it fixed that problem. Great performance similar to review. One problem I do have when I turn on CBL/SAT Input , Apple TV forces Stream Input. I have to manually change back to CBL SAT
In 2014, the HDMI board caused issues with no sound on my HT-RC360. The warranty had just expired but Onkyo wanted to authorize a "one time repair". I'm willing to give them another shot because of that. The only thing is my new TV now has 4 HDMI 2.1 inputs so I can loop the audio out of its optical output back into the old Onkyo for 5.1 audio. Not sure I'd miss Atmos, built in Spotify and Wi-Fi.
Taking the top off was a great help, thank you soo much.
I’m trying to decide between the Onkyo and the Denon. Costco has the Denon on sale for $399 right now. This video review was well done and answered all of my questions.
I was looking at this amp and came across this video. I am running a 5.1 setup for now with PSB Stratus Golds (4 ohms) fronts. I had to ensure the amp I picked up could push those front speakers. After watching your video and seeing the setup you used, I knew it shouldn't be a problem for this amp to run my setup. Went out and bought one and it sounds great. Thanks for all the help
Great to hear! Thanks for watching :)
Thank you so much for this review! I was waiting to find the Denon at a discount and never did. However now I know what Santa is bringing me for Christmas. I agree the extra money is worth the differences. Thanks again!
You are so welcome!! Enjoy it & have a merry Christmas :)
This one somehow flew under my radar. Thanks for the review and the heads up! :)
Hey Ealan, thanks for watching! Costco is really coming out with some awesome entry level gear, we'd love to hear your take on it if you decide to check one out for yourself! :)
I literally went to go look for your video after watching this haha. I appreciate both of your channels!
Love the channel.. I purchased two receivers and return the Denon that you just referred . This Onkyo TX-NR6050 Smart receivers is full packed with amazing features. Costco has already taken it down and unsure why?? I talked to a store employee and not instock at any store.. The Denon receiver return because got hot and shuts down reasons.. so it's been 6 days and loving the Onkyo receiver at this time..
I have been trying to use this receiver as a pre-amp and set the line out to Zone 2. The problem is the gain on the RCA outputs is fixed and doesn't change with the volume on the remote. The Onkyo TX-NR5100 allows you set the gain to variable or fixed on the output. I called Onkyo and the support person made the excuse that this is a premium feature that probably isn't included. But why would a lower model include it. I asked if they could fix this with a firmware update, we'll see, he said he would pass along the concern.
I have this Receiver over a year now and love it . I just added a second Subwoofer and 7.2 is awesome. The only problem I continue to have it if I use the TV/CBL (Samsung DVR and Samsung TV)input is taken over by the STREAM INPUT , Where I have Apple TV. It goes back to TV when I press TV CBL again. I did have a brief problem where I was not getting any signal through inputs. I called Onkyo Customer Service which was US based. They stayed on with me for over and hour and we eventually fixed that problem. I still have not fixed the Apple TV issue .
Any ideas on the AppleTV STRm taking over CBL/TV input . Not a big deal , I created a button on my Harmony that goes back to CBL/TV, but still a pain. Also if I’m in StRM mode and got to CBL TV no problem.
I was just about to buy the denon from their website but just happened to check Costco and saw the onkyo. I excitedly jumped right on it! Still waiting for it to be delivered but this video makes me feel like I made the right choice
We think you made a great choice! Thanks for watching & enjoy your new AVR :)
I think that was a mistake I am currently trying out both models and I let my family hear the two different receivers and we agree that the Denon sounds better than the onkyo. The Onkyo put sound in front of you the dinning covers you in sound, you can do more with the Onkyo I agree but if music quality was the key factor music quality on the Denon is far better than Onkyo
@@jermainepearson6835 A lot of this can come down to settings as well. Plenty of people said the exact same thing about their cheaper Yamaha vs this Denon you are talking about. Then they found out turning off the room correction on the Denon made it sound significantly better.
Love this channel, gives me everything I need. Keep it up👍👍
Thank you! Glad you enjoy it :)
this Onkyo is perfect for my needs (very happy it also has a phono input for my turntable) and happy it supports full 40 gbps vs the Yamaha RX V4A I was about to get that only supports 24 gbps even though its "HDMI 2.1". Also thank you for being a very normal reviewer in the best way possible, too many reviewers have like a weird false excitement or energy that makes their videos hard to watch but this was a great review
My Onkyo 626 seems to be going after getting crackling on one channel. After much troubleshooting, seems I'm due for a replacement. My options are somewhat limited given my preferences (sub 500, phono, strong 2.1 preference). I was about to pull the trigger on the Denon 1600 then I came across this item on Costco after checking out the 760. As a big researcher, I noticed limited impressions on this product outside of some forum discussions. However, those forums pointed me here and now this product is on the way. Thanks for the video, it really helped me make a decision!
No problem! For the use cases you mentioned it sounds like this one would be a fantastic choice. We think you'll be very pleased with it - thanks for watching! :)
Great review! Based on your review I'm waiting on delivery from Costco for my new NR6050 AVR. Regarding some of the concerns about Onkyo, I'm not too worried, because Costco is really good about returns. Can't wait to get it!
Thanks for watching! Costco's return policy is excellent. We hope you enjoy the new AVR :)
Yea just got mine delivered yesterday, FINALLY. Can’t wait to set it up this weekend.
@@waltpavlowski7796 it’s pretty awesome. So far I’ve been really happy with it. I ended up getting new Jamo speakers to go along with my new NR6050. Sounds great!
This was an excellent review. Thank you very much!! Nicely done.
Thank you very much! 😀
Nicely Done.
Any chance you were able to test streaming hi res audio to 2 channels ?
When the unit was open did you see which dac chip they were using ?
Thanks
Amazing video!!! You helped me grab one for my dad before they sold out yesterday!! Beefier in stats than the nr5100 and $100 cheaper!!!
Glad we could help! Thanks for watching :)
Thinking about switching to this one from the S760h. The extra power sounds nice, but the real reason is the dual HDMI outputs. It's going in the home theater, where we will eventually have a retractable screen for the movie Nights on the UST projector. Which will cover up the Samsung 85QN800A for daytime watching and gaming. Haven't settled on a projector yet and still have to decide whether we're going to have the screen drop down from the ceiling or pop-up From Below. But I was questioning getting a signal to both sources and this AVR may have just solved that dilemma.
Keep in mind that while the dual HDMI outputs on the 6050/6100 are both HDMI 2.1 the moment an active HDMI 2.0 display is connected to either output you are then limited to HDMI 2.0. In other words you cannot have HDMI 2.1 and HDMI 2.0 displays connected (active at the same time) but still get the 2.1 feature set (you'll be limited to the HDMI 2.0 18g bandwidth). If you require a device that can handle mixed HDMI 2.1/2.0 connections look into the HDFury VRROOM, it's up for pre-order and starts shipping in less than two weeks. Now obviously if both displays end up being HDMI 2.1 (40-48g bandwidth) then you would not have this concern (or if only one display is active at a time, as would be with a screen dropping in front of the TV).
Thanks for watching guys! @Game Theater Fusion this is really interesting information, thanks for sharing! I wonder if something like an EDID emulator or HDMI 2.1 scaler would help.
@@DGPG35 😊 Thanks, while I haven't settled on the projector yet, the TV is a 85QN800A. The Samsung LSP9 projector is the leading contender.
There's a multitude of reasons why, but the main one is so that my wife doesn't have to try and figure out multiple operating systems.
We have a Samsung 65mu800 upstairs in the master, a 55Q60A in her gym, and a 75QN90A in the living room. The less confusing it is for her the better. Similar remote layout and operating systems means I don't get called into each room to turn on and off the TV for her.
But because she is highly unlikely to ever turn on the projector without me in the room I have been considering going with a different brand. The Hisense 120L9G seems like a pretty good unit as well. Nice that it comes with its own screen but with my particular home theater setup, that's not really beneficial as we need a retractable screen for daytime viewing. And I do not believe you can use that screen in a retractable system?? In any case I do believe both of these options are 2.1 compatible, which should alleviate this potential issue. But thanks for the heads up, I certainly wouldn't have known that beforehand.
@@DGPG35 This will be my setup as my Sony TV is 2.1 but BenQ projector is 2.0. So as long as I only turn on one ‘display’ (output) I don’t need to unplug the other do I? Don’t really want to have to be unplugging and replugging HDMI connectors all the time.
I dont have the TX-NR6050 but I did recently purchase the the TX-NR6100 and it runs the Xbox Series X in 120 hz just fine.
Thanks for watching & for the information! We'll go ahead and pin your comment, we believe that the 6050 and the 6100 have the exact same HDMI board & HDMI capabilities.
Muy buen video, entre el onkyo y el denon AVR-S760H, cual tiene el mejor sonido estéreo?
I’ve used Yamaha, Denon and Sony Av Receivers, from this point on I’m team Onkyo, I can pass 4k 120hz from Xbox and I love how straight forward the OSD is.
Excatly is that OSD awesome or what!
I purchased this unit online, and purchased the Denon you're talking about to use with my new speakers until my 6050 arrives, well I got a chance to use both of them, and the Denon sounds so so so so much better than the Onyko, but the Onyko has way more features, I want to keep the Onyko, but I think I'll be keeping the Denon
Should someone use 80 Hz as the crossover point for the speakers and subwoofer with this AVR for the THX style sound? Or go with the Onkyo calibration that set the subwoofer at 120 Hz, center at 90 Hz, fronts at 120 Hz, and rear surrounds at 150 Hz?
Thanks guys, just purchased mine! Couple of questions: having 2 HDMI out, means I can plug both LG C1 tv and UST projector using same 5.1.2 speakers set up right? Will it automatically tune to the source (TV or PJ) once turned on via CEC? Also, is it possible to use Zone 2 speakers to create a 5.1.4 setup with 4 heights speakers? Thanks a lot!
Did you run any tests with eARC? I plan on connecting my PS5 through my LG C1 and then using eARC to output to the TX-NR6050. Would this work fine or is this setup not recommended? (I had read this recommendation in order to fully take advantage of the PS5 and the TVs capabilities.)
Thanks for the review. I’ve been waiting for a decent budget receiver with two HDMIs out! I’ll be getting one soon. Hopefully they’ll be in stock at my local Costco.
No problem! This one would be a pretty good choice, we bought ours online so we would make sure to check there as well if you're okay waiting a bit for them to ship if you can't find them at your local warehouse. Thanks for watching :)
check online
i just got the onkyo TX -NR6100 TO TELL YOU THIS RECEIVER IS GREAT WOW I JUST LOVE WITH GOOD POWER WITH A SETUP OF 7,2 OR 5.21 IS WAY MUCH BETER THAN DENON ALL THE WAY YOU PUT IT
I just bought the Denon about a month ago.. coming from a onkyo I'm not sure how I feel about it yet and after this video I'm thinkin about switching. Could you elaborate on the two zones and having to switch wires? Right now I have the Deneon set up in my living room 5.1 and zone 2 speakers in my kitchen. Sometimes they are off sync and sound like an echo when coming from the same source... did you do any testing on same source two zones?
I just got mine after watching this review thoroughly. Im only able to get 120Hz and HDR on my pc at 1080p and not any resolutions higher.Ive got a 15ft 8k cable hooked up originally and got a 6ft 8k cable out.. Im going to try a shorter 3ft out cable will that work? My input is set to 8k enhanced and before getting the receiver I was running UHD HDR 120HZ just cant now?
I purchased my Denon AVR-760H almost a month ago. It has been awesome! The Onkyo is interesting, but I'm not sure the I would see a major difference in power over my Denon. It has worked flawlessly with my PS5, Cambridge Blu-ray and LG C1. Thanks for the review and keep up the awesome work guys! You have another subscriber here!
Thank you very much for watching! The Denon was solid in our testing, great choice! We're glad to hear that you're enjoying it :)
Yes I am currently testing both of these units, and the Denon is far superior sound quality wise then the Onkyo. However the Onkyo has better features elsewhere but when it comes to playing sound and listening to music didn't wins hand down
Amazon has revise version 6050+ $500 bucks. This will be replacing my old Oknyo HTS4000 from 2017 out of nowhere starting giving me speaker check problems then it stop working won't cut back on. But, when it worked it freaking rocked. So I'll be giving Oknyo another chase with this AVR. Thanks for the review. Also dude you have a beast of a speaker system.
Good choice, let us know if you like it in you setup. Thanks for watching!
Thinking about purchasing this now for a new LG C2 or B2 at $400. Will be hooked up to PC for hopefully full RGB 4:4:4 4k/120hz HDR with variable refresh rate. Didn't see any pre-outs like my current Yamaha, which I would love to use as a separate amp to run the front 2 channels. Any idea if the zone B outputs can be used as pre-outs for the L & R channels?
Hello, Onkyo claims VRR will work but have you guys test it yet? I had to return the S760 because with VRR on, the screen flickers with the Xbox One. Also, on the O 6050, does the fan make noises? If so, how loud?
Can this reciever be controlled through an app over wifi? I currently have my Yamaha receiver's zone 2 going out to a couple speakers by my pool. I am able to turn zone 2 on and off through the app. Would I still be able to do this with the onkyo?
Could you please test if the added fan can be heard making any level of noise when watching a silent scene in a movie ect? Thank you very much in advance.
Why does the Zone 2 disable the surround back speakers? Why do they do that? How is it Dolby At,or if you can't connect height speakers along with surround and surround rear? These newer receivers seem to have more limitations
Alright Alright Alright, unboxed, setup and in use. Everything I had hoped for, easy config Great sound. Get One.
Walt: where did you yours and what did you pay?
@Walt Pavlowski We agree! Thanks for watching!
@@MrFamulaw Costco online $499.
Can you say what the PCM handshake time is like? Many receivers take a second or two to lock onto a PCM signal, and many consoles don't keep this active 100% of the time. I've had to stop using PCM on many devices with my current receiver (and the one before it) as the start of audio will be cut off as the receiver completes the handshake again after a small section of silence. Games do this a lot where dialogue will start suddenly. I've changed to using bitstream or Dolby to get around this, but obviously uncompressed is the way I'd like to go.
Just now getting into home theater equipment. I find your videos very useful and entertaining. I’m going to get the Klipsch Costco bundle but I’m torn between this receiver (onkyo 6050) and the Yamaha tsr-700. With the firmware for the Tsr700 live, which would you recommend? I have a ps5 and Apple TV 4K. Thanks!
That's a great question, with the Yamaha TSR-700 now supporting HDMI 2.1 it pretty boils down to personal tastes as far as sound quality and features. I personally like the sound and looks of the Onkyo over the Yamaha but that is subjective. The Yamaha is still a great entry level receiver.
Just got this along with a LG OLED after seeing this review. Both the Onkyo and TV say they have Spotify - which one should I access for the best quality sound? Right now I have a Roku with Spotify playing into my Pioneer AV receiver and the quality is terrible, really compressed and dull sounding. Hoping this will improve it. This is all a bit confusing as I haven't updated my 5.1 for a decade and back then the AV was just a hub that I plugged everything into and a HDMI cable to the TV for video. Let me know your thoughts, I appreciate it!
Hello..I have the Onkyo 6050 from costco.I do not see 5.2.2 config during Accu EQ calibration. I am using both sub woofer pre out connections ? I can only see 5.1.2 option . Do i need to do a firmware update out of box?
To me I think that Onkyo with this reciver and thier RZ line are going to make Marantz and Denon seem outdated! ONKYO is paying attention and delivering what a home theater enthusiasts need 👍
I'm still considering upgrading my RZ820 to the RZ50 but I'm still so in love with my current AVR 😁
I find it very interesting that they put a fan above the HDMI boards, I bought 2 fans very similar and placed them on top just in case 😎
Thank you for giving some love to Onkyo 👏👏
Thanks for watching K Man :) We absolutely agree, it seems like Onkyo is really stepping up their AVR game again and we love to see this kind of competition. We're hoping to see a new Integra line from them too!!
RZ50 also looks like a really impressive AVR... tempting!!
Onkyo has always done that.
@@TwoGuyzTech I bought an Onkyo TX-901 stereo receiver for $200 when I was 16 years old (1992); it still works today!! That’s 30 years! Still have the 15” Radio Shack Optimus speaker towers too!
I had the RZ720. I upgraded to this. Pretty impressive. I'm planning on picking up a new QD Oled when they mature next year.
@@michaelschwader7944 very nice! 👍
Got one of these coming along with the 5.1.4 speaker setup Costco where offering. It's going to be quite the upgrade to my 17 year old all in one dvd surround system :)
Thanks for watching! Sounds like a fun upgrade - hope you enjoy it :)
Update?
@@Skydog173 it's still working great. No issues
How does this compare to Yamaha tsr-700 for movie and music? I don't game at all. This is for a second Atmos system with ELAC 6.2.
Need some help here.. Had a problem hooking up an external amp to this reciever? I tried 2 times with the russsound system from Crutchfield and first time I hooked up a marantz 150 watt per channel amp and it came across Check Amp and then it did a speaker test and finally shut down. When I disconnected the amp it went back to normal operation mood. I tried it again with a brand new 3 channel OSD amp 165watts per channel and again it went into protection mood saying check amp and did a check speaker wire test then it shut down. Once I disconnected everything it was fine again..any idea here or is this reciever just not able to have an amp connected to it..
Does this need a streamer for hi res music?
Can the Onkyo or the Denon passthru with the receiver brining off. I only turn on the receiver for movie watching. When watching regular tv it playing games I use tv speakers and headphones.
I got this receiver but I can’t get the center channel, back left and right surround to play any audio when playing movies/music. But when I tired the setup input in the receiver each channel played audio perfectly fine. I have everything plugged in correctly I can’t find an answer.
Great video 👏👏👏 keep up the good work 💪
Thank you so much!! We really appreciate it :)
I have few years model 2019 Onkyo , but year ago bought from amazon , now all of the sudden gives me goes to some set up in end says check the speaker wires such as i did ...still same issue dont know what can i do i did everything ...is Onkyo HT-S3910 Home Audio Theater Receiver and Speaker o well
Am I correct in seeing that this has no subwoofer crossover, only an LFE which only goes down to 80hz? My previous non-hdmi basic Harmon Kardon AVR130 even had a separate subwoofer crossover down to 40hz.
Have you noticed any issues where the audio just cuts and returns In a couple seconds or just doesn't return at all till you completely shut it off?
I am having blinking/flickering issues with this receiver. I have a 8k hdmi (eArc) to my Hu810pw and am using 8k hdmi cable to my nvidia shield. I had no issues with the denon 8k (costco) and my Sony 4k/60 receiver dn1080. I am unsure what is causing this issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have a separate amp for my front speakers, my old Pioneer AVR has preouts for all channels, am i correct in thinking this receiver only has sb pre outs?
hello sir, is this AV receiver equivalent to TX-NR5100 or TX-NR6100?
My old 8 year old Marantz AVR had to be replaced so I bought this reviewed but budget Onkyo TX-NR6050 for $399 on sale. I like it except for one thing: in the setup menu there is no option to change the volume display between absolute and relative i.e. THX mode. Absolute is the only option. I’d like to manually set my speaker levels to reference by going to manual setup in the AVR menu, turn the volume of the AVR to 0dB then set the level of each speaker to 75dB using a SPM. Not sure how to do that in this case. Is there a test CD with pink noise at the correct level to do this?
Will i be able to connect Klipsch Reference Cinema Dolby Atmos 5.1.4 System with this receiver??
I have noticed that there are two HDMI outputs. Are they the same? My plan is to use one of them to connect media content to the TV and the other one to connect game consoles.
I have been through 2 onkyo receivers that both quit sending video. Paid to have second one fixed at least once. the one I have now and am replacing for the same reason was the onkyo tx-nr747. It seemed great till it wasnt.
I have the Denon 540 BT (75 x 5.1) .. I'm looking for just a little more presence and punch out of my Boston Acoustic speakers. Is it a waste of time to upgrade to either one of these receivers. I was actually thinking maybe the new Denon S960 which is 90 Watts.
$400 is my sweet spot, but the gui is so much better than the competition. I have a Marantz and it looks like the interface is from the 80's.
Unfortunately that is a HUGE downside to a lot of these AVRs at many different price points lol. Onkyo really has dialed in their user interface, other companies need to start fixing theirs. Thank you very much for watching :)
Just wondering I have not seen the Onkyo at any Costco stores in southern Cali and no in store can explain why can you guys??
This video convinced me to pull the trigger and got you a sub. Thank you!
Awesome! Thank you!
I scored both of these and I've been on the fence. Thanks for confirming
No problem! Thanks for watching :)
Great review! Costco just put this onkyo on sale @ $399. As of June 5, 2023
My old Samsung TV of 13 years decided to retire, so I decided i'd get a new TV with some advance feature that will at least set me up for the next 10 or so years.
The new TV is a Samsung QN65Q80 that supports Dolby Atmos and has eARC port, and four 2.1 HDMI ports. I also got myself this OnkyoTX6050 which I believe is compatible with the new TV I got.
Now my question is, should I plug say my PS5 to the TV or to the receiver? Which one would allow me to bring the best sound experience? As an added benefit perhaps to use only one remote to control both the TV and receiver.
I have had 2 Yamaha recievers and 2 Denon recievers and all broke after 2 years and also after repairs. Would never recommend Yamaha or Denon recievers ever. Now Onkyo reciever is going on 9 years and still going strong!!!! Totally recommend Onkyo. Mine is 7.2 Thx certified and sounds awesome and Better then any other reciever I hv heard.
Thanks for watching & for sharing! We're sorry to hear about the issues you've had with those other receivers but we're glad the Onkyo has been working so well! We were really impressed with it in our testing :)
I HAVE THE YAMAHA TSR-700 BUT NOW I HAVE ONKYO TX-NR6100 I LIKE THE YAMAHA BUT I FOUND THE ONKYO SOUND IS MUCH BETER IT HAS NO BUGS, TI WORKS JUST FINE FOR ME ,
Hello i bought a Second Hand tx rz710 which has only 2.0 HDMI. First to say im pretty new into hi fi stuff, why do you Connect the PS trough the Receiver and then into the TV? Cant i Just plug my blueray/PC into the TV and then from the TV into the Receiver?
Great review!
Thank you very much for watching!! :)
I don't have that Onkyo.
It's a older 5.2 dts. I love the internal crossover selection and the great sound.
What I don't like is some of the selections are only visible on the t.v.
I like to mess with the settings when listening to music vs watching a movie.
The other is issue I have is needing the remote to access all functions.
Those who have kids and lose things will understand.
I have been using a TX-SR605 daily for over 15 years. Paired with a set of energy speakers I have never ever had a single problem with the receiver. Knock on wood. I run 4k from my PC via HDMI straight to my TV, and a second HDMI from the PC to the receiver exclusively for audio (as my old receiver doesn't pass through 4k).
I can't afford to upgrade right now, but the receiver still works amazing and I'm only run a set of Bi-amped fronts, a center and a sub.
Love that they're still making the 605 series, I might consider an upgrade.
Has Onkyo added the HDMI fans on their newer 5100, 6100, and 7100's? Do you know?
Could I hook up a turntable, cd changer, tape deck, and tv up to it and have anything hooked up to the tv (DVD/VCR, PS4) have the sound come out of speakers hooked up to the onkyo?
Thanks for watching! Yep you would do this using eARC, but the quality of your experience really depends on how well ARC/eARC is implemented in your TV and how that plays with the eARC of the Onkyo. We generally don't recommend doing those kinds of setups and instead running all of the HDMI devices you have connected to your TV right now through the Onkyo's HDMI ports instead. Hope this helps!
This or the Denon s760? New to home audio. Just want something that “just works” out of the box.
I’m reading the Onkyo has QC issues and random “clicking” noises.
Will be powering a 5.1.2 Klipsch system (r625fa, r-41, r-52, r12sw)
Thanks!
Any way you could by pass the amps and just use it as a modern sound and video processor and then I could use my old flagship Onkyo tx-nr5008 for the amplification ?
I have the Onkyo 5100 and it also outputs 4k 120 with vrr for my series x, but dobly vision only outputs 60, as the 5100 HDMI "2.1" port are limited to 24gbps. I was looking to trade it in for the 6100, when I found the 6050 at costco.
Thanks for watching! Yeah we think it's really interesting how the 5100 is capped at 24 gigabit and uses Display Stream Compression to get higher resolutions and refresh rates through. It's definitely not a perfect solution but I guess for their even-more budget offering it's alright. We had a great experience with the 6050 and it's rated for passing through 40 gigabit so we're very happy with it!
@@TwoGuyzTechwhat’s the key difference between the 5100 and the 6050???
Could you possibly be able to do a review on the Yamaha rx-a1080? I’m just curious how the 1080 stacks up with other Av receivers! Or even not as expensive receivers. Also what would be a good combination for Polk audio speakers ? I have the s50, s30 signatures, and T15 what av receiver would you recommend ? As of right now I owe the onkyo sr393, but great video by the way!!!💪
I have my Sony x800m2 connected to this receiver and I'm getting no audio what could be the issue ?
I bought the Onkyo TX-NR555 and did the update that it requested, now it is BRICKED "1-833 ERROR" Do they make for good $$$ Boat Anchors?
Thanks for in-depth review!
Does its remote work behind the wall? I have receiver/ps4/apple tv in next room from my home theater. Thanks!
The remote is infrared, so it will only work if you have line of sight.
When are you going to do a review on the onkyo RZ 50 reciever?
Adjusted for inflation a comparo with a late ‘80’s mid grade Onkyo would be informative as to value & performance.
Is this for sale? I can’t find it in stores or the web. Even the link you have says it can’t be found.
Excellent summary. Question as I'm about to replace a receiver for the first time in 10 years, my TV is 1080p capable, can I still use this unit or do I need at least a 4k TV?
Should work just fine. Thanks for watching!
Bough Denon 760 and like the sound. The only issue that I only have 1 SBL speaker and does not hear any sound from that speaker.
Thanks for watching! That's really odd, if you have the Denon in 7-channel mode then one of the amplifier channels might not be working. We'd recommend getting a replacement through Costco.
Love my Onkyo TX-NR797 over my Denon, Sound quality much better, the Denon sounded like a vail was over my speakers. couldn't take it anymore also the Onkyo power rating was the same but the Onkyo goes way louder to concert level sound. also really like the quick menu very user adaptable. imho..picked it up on closeout a year ago for under 600.. so it was a win for me.
The denon makes my Polk speakers sound good. I get good dialogue in the center and good surround. I am happy with it for my setup
Veil?
@@duilawyr Yes, I stand corrected..
Thanks for this video. I was looking to buy the Onkyo TX-NR6100 and this one is the same receiver. I had actually let my Costco membership lapse in favor of Sam's. I could renew my membership and still be money ahead with the 6050. I think I will do just that.
Update: I did go buy this receiver and it is actually $70 off for the next 2 days. $430 for this receiver is a smokin' hot deal!
You are welcome!
it is $399 now. you can ask for a price match if it is still less than 90 days.
I like that there are
phono and cd analog inputs.
I have an AudioSource 102 VS.. will I be able to use the Zone 2 with this Amp and be able to provide HDMI/Bluetooth inputs ?
Thanks for watching! Yes you could do that using the Zone 2 line outputs on the back of the receiver.
