    I had that Addcom 3 Channel Surround Amp. It was great to pair with the GFA555 (which I still have). The sound tracking on that was phenomenal for the time (early 90's). I remember watching Speed and there was a scene where the vehicles went under a bridge. The sound started out in front of me (really behind the front speakers, then it went under me as the vehicles passed under the bridge, then back out level with me behind me.
    Too bad it died about 3 years into ownership.

    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.

    Question about the new models. Do the new units support network playback of DLNA media? I see in the manual for the TX-NR6100, that the unit will work with "home network functionality". I currently have the TX-NR616 (looking to upgrade), that has the "DLNA" app and the "Home media" app that both play DLNA content. Does the 6100 have the same "Home media" app installed? I want to make sure the TX-NR6100 will play the DLNA content from my NAS unit. I do not see the DLNA logo on the units. Thanks!

    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.

    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.....

    I connected 5.1.2 in Main zone and 2ch in Zone 2 - but I'm unable to play same audio in both zones when the source is TV. My TV is connected to the receiver's HDMI OUT using eARC, I'm trying to play TV sound in all zones (like a party mode). Do you know how to get it work? Not sure if Onkyos zone 2 takes HDMI audio.

      good TTs need a steady 4 pole motor,, 3 pole motor that adds a whoosh and rumble to the speaker sound,,annoying,,,the 4 poleis are more quiet,,,,,the platter,,should be all metal, somewhat weighty for even and accurate speed,ought also to have a rubber mat,,,,a tone arm that adjusts the weight in grams and fractions,it should balance,,float when the cartridge plus the shell are joined,,adjusting the tracking weight dial at the tone arms' rear,,the cartridge should be of the magnetic variety,,they deliver high quality FM like signals from the record grooves,, a pre amp is a signal booster,necessary for the tiny bit of electromagnetic current to sound plump and loud,ceramic cartridges by comparison,deliver tinny, flat sound into the amplifier,their greater weight wears high frequency waves in the records it plays,small pieces of the vinyl are quickly worn off because of the greater weight of ceramic cartridges,,4 grams and more,,,,,vs the mag cartridge whose weight in the groove path is a gram and a half often less,= longer playing life for the records,,which you also need to keep clean,
      a cover for the player also keeps room dust from falling on the records,,,,a lot of this older equipment was a lot cheaper 30 years ago,,vintage items such as my set up, 70s receiver cost 30 bucks from a resale shop,I did have to spend another 50 bucks for repairs,the identical reciever several are up on ebay, go for 6 to 700 bucks,,,,,,your other choice keep meandering through thrift and resale shops learn to recognize good equipment it does take patience and learning what to look for,carry a sound device w an 18 in stereo plug w 2 rca phono plugs on the end,,so you can test equipment out in the field

The crossover was engineered to drive the Bass,Midrange and Tweeters individually of each other.The article included a P.C. Board Print and the parts list for each frequency of the Speakers. The following month, it showed the specs for building a Speaker Enclosure for the Cross-over Boards to fit it and how to make the Enclosures Corner-Less.

    Gentlemen, as I was told by Mr. Lee Young, a contemporary of James B. Lansing while interning when I was a new minted millenial: Calm down, you'll get there. :) And be thankful to God, you don't have to choose between a reference audio systems and a wife/home/car, etc. I was lucky and got in on the royalty wagons of the analog era and could have it all. And I went INTO the "business". Onkyo was/is a mid brand, I was a Carver, D'Angelo, SCS, Hafler, Adcom, JBL kinda guy. Class A, of course. Just my 16core, RTX Quadro PC can do 8k uhd at 144hz on a 32" freesync monitor. Pro gear on the workstation, and the B&O out front. For home gear I like NAD, Accupahse too. Last thing, I actually have two pieces of Onkyo gear myself. The old TX-SR304 receiver and the TA-RW111 cassette deck. I'm selling the receiver for only $25.00 to a lucky person at a yard sale, making someone new to this game plenty happy. I'm keeping the cassette deck, it STILL smells new! :)

    I have the TX-NR 7100 and I have to power cycle or hard reset via Cable/Sat power button. The OSD will not open and it stays on “please wait” also the Onkyo controller app stops connecting. It’s extremely frustrating as this is how I change modes. Has anyone else had this issue and found resolution?

    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.

      The HDMI board issue was plaguing everybody. Apparently they were all sourcing their HDMI boards from the same factory. The majority of those issues have been panned out since they released the new boards once HDMI 2.2 and 2.3 became mainstream. It's a fairly safe bet anything that's 2021 and newer have the updated boards.

    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 ?

    I bought this Onkyo TX-NR787 (I think it looks like your 7100) 2 years ago and like I have posted elsewhere, it don't do ZIP. It has the same issue as yours displayed. SET UP TV. What makes anybody think there is even a TV involved. Suppose you just want it for a sound system to play your CDs? Cannot get this thing to do anything. Hooked up a speaker, managed to turn it to Tuner, a station came up that I'm familiar with. And nothing, no sound. So there is not much hope if I hook up my old CD Player. I spent a lot of money buying this at Best Buy. It's just junk, I'm currently looking for some vintage electronics that I know will turn on and work. Even my old Sony unit, that I was replacing because there is more room on this Onkyo for speakers, is at least reliable. I haven't had music in the house for over two years. I had disconnected my working Sony and stored it away. I was trusting that this Onkyo would make things better. I was wrong. It turned me into a poorer, frustrated, angry guy.
