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
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 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?
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 :)
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!
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!
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 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 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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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 :)
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 :)
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.
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! :)
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 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. :)
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 ,
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!
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 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
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.😀
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! 👍
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..
$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 :)
Exactly the kind of review I needed as someone looking for their first AVR, great work.
Glad it was helpful!
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!
Classic Onkyo. They have always run hot (the receivers). I don't expect any of these lower end models to last more than two years. I give a nod to the power supply, however! Don't stuff it in an enclosed space!
Great review! Costco just put this onkyo on sale @ $399. As of June 5, 2023
For those watching now, Amazon has them now for $399! Just ordered mine yesterday to upgrade my old setup to a 5.1.2 Atmos setup
I've loved Onkyo stuff for years. I was introduced to the brand in the 90's and have run them for shop stereo's and in my A/V racks for years. I appreciate Onkyo's power to drive multiple power hungry speakers, and I do agree that they need extra cooling in order to survive. I've run 8 ohm and even 4 ohm speakers successfully. Not recommended but it's worked for me. I also feel that Onkyo is so much more user friendly than the high end Yamaha's I've been forced to install by Home integration specialists as of late. Yamaha's are technically very very solid, but their interfaces and operation is clunky as hell. Thanks again for the review. I'm going to go grab one and retire my expensive yamaha to the Shop where I drive really big speakers. This is my experience. Others may certainly have had a different experience.
Thanks for watching!
Do you recommend an external fan or pad to cool it?
@Nostradamus no it dosen't need it unless you have it in a cabinet
@@bigguy1403 Did you get your 10%?
Are you worried that the House Committee investigations will impugn you? 🤣
@@nostradamus7648 say what 🤪
I have the Denon AVR-S760H. At first, I was thrilled getting it going, but after having it for a few weeks now I can say I'm so ashamed of how many bugs it has. So many communities and reviewers are litterd with CEC switching bugs, random black screens, etc. I finally had to pull my Shield out of it and use ARC through my TV to finally alleviate my Blackscreens. I'd love to know if anyone knows of any problems this receiver is having, I may send my denon back to Costco!
Thanks for watching! We're sorry to hear about the issues that you've been having with the Denon, it seems like there have been some issues cropping up that we didn't experience in our review... that's what sucks about reviewing things so early and within a limited timespan. We didn't experience any HDMI switching issues on this receiver, but that also depends on the different equipment you have etc. We hope you can find a working solution though!!
@TwoGuyzTech thanks alot! I ended up ordering the Onkyo 6050. I expedited, so should be here in a day or so 🤞
I have the Denon AVR-760H and love it. I have not had those issues you describe. I have PS5, Xbox Series X, PS4, PS3, and Xbox 360 all connected with no issues so far, knock on wood.
@@fritzillaMine were mostly just persistent black screening and flickering. Also important to note, did not happen immediately but gradually got worse. Check this out for some of the more extreme reports: ua-cam.com/video/P8TnrfXndAY/v-deo.html
GET THE ONKYO NO BUGS AT ALL WORKS JUST FINE.I HAVE THE ONKYO TX-NR-6100
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.
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.
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
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.
I had the Onkyo TX_SR 605 and when it died I bought the 608. Now that has died after 12 yrs of faultless full rich satisfying service. I replaced it with this unit and there are definitely differences. The SR had better "sound zone" for music both sounded great. I ordered the Onkyo NR7100 to see if there is discernable difference considering Dirac vs. AccuEQ.
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’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!
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.
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 :)
Taking the top off was a great help, thank you soo much.
I have the Onkyo 626 which is about 10 years old. While it does support 4K, it does not do it well. It will not work with my 4K TiVo. So since this is on sale for $100 off until tomorrow, it might be a good option. I have had three Onkyo receivers in the past and I've been pretty happy with them. I do have one Sony one from a several years ago I bought and that seems to work pretty well with 4K.
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
I've been waiting for Costco to get these back in since I watched this at the beginning of the month. They only have the Yamaha with the infamous chip issue, with no information to confirm that an update has been made on the new ones. I think I heard they put a simplistic Texas instruments chip in the new ones, but who cares when you can get one like this ONKYO. This is the brand I grew up on. My mom still has her 1985 Onkyo receiver, and equalizer. I am really interested to find out what her speakers are now. I know the woofers are 15 inch, but that's it. I may just have to get the non Costco model for more, since maybe Onkyo was just using Costco to get their name out again after the bankruptcy rumors. I hear they have excellent English speaking customer service and will help you with receivers way out of warranty. I know you guys are great at replying, is this still the best one in this price range?
Hey thank you very much for watching! We love Onkyo/Integra too. My processor's been going strong for the last 12 years with no signs of stopping & we feel like this model still shows that they know how to make a great sounding receiver with great features.
We haven't personally gotten on the phone with Onkyo support but we've heard good things about their service. Just as with any other company though I think a lot of it depends on the representative you get on the other line :).
As far as we know right now, the 6050 is still pretty much the best AVR you get can get from Costco for the quality, features, and price. We're just glad that we can finally recommend something with good, working, no-nonsense HDMI 2.1 support haha!
Thanks again & we hope this is helpful :)
@@TwoGuyzTech Right on! Thanks for the reply! You guys rule at responding to your viewers.
Model/specs of the fan for those wanting to replace it: XFAN RDL6015S1 Brushless DC12V 0.11A 60x60x15mm 2wire
Awesome, thank you.
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 :)
Just got the Denon delivered this week. I think I’m going to swap it out for this one. That 90W per channel vs 75W is worth $50.
It's definitely a nice little upgrade, seems like the Onkyo drove our 4-ohm speakers exceptionally well - thanks for watching :)
My thought exactly. I purchased the Denon in PA and the onkyo online(I’m in DE) so the sales tax made it only at )$15 upgrade.
I also have the Denon and I wish it had more than 75W, for sure. It replaced a prior Denon that had 95W and there was definitely more power, but I am not sure it's really that much difference other than I turn it up 10 more than the precious in volume.
4ohm speakers put more stress on recievers and amplifiers than 8ohm speakers. Try DOUBLE the workload. A 6ohm speaker is actually going to hit the sweetspot with this reciever.
Yep, you're right - 4 ohm speakers are harder to drive, that's why in the video we talked about how well the receiver drove our 4-ohm LCR speakers :) Thanks for watching!
Curious as I have been out of the home audio world for a loooong time! (I just dusted off my got to be 20 year old Sony receiver😆) choosing different Ohms, is the by the speaker you buy? & when a receiver says it can put out 90 rms per channel is that at any ohm you plug in?
My Costco Yamaha broke and this Onkyo sounds way better. Glad I got to buy one last Onkyo before bankruptcy.
Thanks for watching! Onkyo's AVR division was bought by Voxx International last year (before the main ONKYO brand filed bankruptcy), who own other companies like Pioneer and Klipsch, so I think it's safe to say that they'll be around for a while.
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
The only draw back on this amp is bluetooth sucks. If it doesn't pair with your device you must pull the power plug for 30 seconds and restart it. When pairing it leave the paired device right next to or touching it because it's that bad. It just dosen't see it unless your right up on it and don't even think of walking more then 2 feet away from the receiver or you'll loose bluetooth have to leave the device next to it for it to stay connected..I've had it for about 2 months now and fan has yet to come on so it runs pretty cool but again I leave my reciever and amplifier and center channel and Xbox out on the top of TV entertainment center. I like looking at my Money...
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.
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???
I scored both of these and I've been on the fence. Thanks for confirming
No problem! Thanks for watching :)
I bought the Denon (Costco) and Klipsch surround speakers (Best Buy) and 12" sub (Costco) I'm happy with it I was hoping Onkyo would've came out with this months ago, but it is what it is. Star Wars, MCU, Disney+, 4K DVDs and sports sounds excellent.
Thanks for watching! Sometimes these do take a while to come out but it's definitely worth it. We're glad to hear that you're enjoying the setup! :)
hello sir, is this AV receiver equivalent to TX-NR5100 or TX-NR6100?
Great video! Thank you. I'm finding great prices on these receivers. Ebay is selling this one used for $200 on average and even found someone on Facebook marketplace selling these for $300. I even got that person down to $280. It might be worth getting. What do you think?
Thanks for watching! It has been a while since we've done these reviews and the receiver landscape around this price bracket may have changed. But we still feel like this receiver was a really good product and for $280 it would be a pretty good deal in our opinion. Hope this helps!
just picked one up for 299 - hope this thing lasts =x
Does this need a streamer for hi res music?
Nothing will beat the Yamaha tsr-700 they had for $329 😫😫😫 buddy picked one up and it’s great and I regret not getting on ebefore they removed them. Now they’re going for $500+ online!
Those things were a fantastic value at the $329 price especially with the revised board! Thanks for watching :)
Adjusted for inflation a comparo with a late ‘80’s mid grade Onkyo would be informative as to value & performance.
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 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.
No other AVR comes close at this price point, $399 on sale. The NR6050 has all the connections you would need for a HT set up. The power is decent for the price but if you like a lot of power this may not be for you. Dont get too excited about hooking up your Klipsch speakers for auto crossover setting because the speaker selection is limited. A nice upgrade would be if they had this option for other brand speakers.
Overall, this AVR is a no brainer for the value.
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??
already ordered the costco's klipsch reference dolby and it's on the way. what would you guys recommended this one or denon? thanks!
They are both good but I preferred the Onkyo.
When are you going to do a review on the onkyo RZ 50 reciever?
This video convinced me to pull the trigger and got you a sub. Thank you!
Awesome! Thank you!
I’m bummed you put the price in the description. I really wanted an epic comment battle. I broke out the popcorn for that one.
LOL I know right?? We figured there'd be plenty of other things not to like about this video so we decided to give in and at least post the price haha. Thank you very much for watching ;)
Amazed I happened to stumble across the exact review I was after. Costco has both the Denon AVR-S760H and this Onkyo receiver in stock for $399. Sounds like I should definitely get the Onkyo?
Yeah the Onkyo is hard to beat! Thanks for watching!
@@TwoGuyzTech appreciate the response. Locked it in and collected it today. Happy to stay with Onkyo too.
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
This receiver does 5.1.4, how? It’s 7 a channel not 9
@@Tor109 that's right I just hooked up .2 instead of .4
This was an excellent review. Thank you very much!! Nicely done.
Thank you very much! 😀
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!
Heads up - on sale at Costco for $439.00 / picking mine up tomorrow!
Thanks for the update!! Pretty darn good value.
Mine is arriving today! One of reasons why I like this better is the software integration and ability to use chromecast integrated instead of via TV. Overall SW seems to be better with great overall specs. Cant believe the new Marantz and Denon set up menus still look like they were 10+ years ago. Replacing my 8 year old Marantz which is now quite a bit outdated. One question on the zone2.... can I easily switch this? Meaning when I want to listen outdoors I dont need my atmos speakers anyways. Or is this even automatically happening? Or do I need to do config every time? This receiver has 9 speaker connections vs the denon has 7 which means I would not have to re-pug in case I want to change to zone 2 use e.g. for a party outside. No one seems to talk about the 9 speaker connections vs 7 in others. Assuming this happens automatically (only lose atmos speakers when zone 2 is turned on) having true separate zone 2 is also big pro on the Onkyo vs the Denon.
Thanks for watching! You can switch into Zone 2 by using the Zone 2 button on the front of the AVR or by holding the Zone 2 SHIFT button on the remote while also pressing the power button. Yeah we really like the fact that it has 9 sets of binding posts, with the Denon you would have to unplug your height or rear surround channels and plug your Zone 2 speakers in those connectors if you wanted to use the Zone 2 speakers. With this, your height channels still get disabled (so only up to 7 channels are powered at a time) but it's just a simple software switch to use the Zone 2 speakers. Hope this helps :)
@@TwoGuyzTech thanks. Yes I set it up yesterday and works great. Now I can actually keep my outdoors speakers connected. Using the phone app I was also able to switch to different sources between zone 1 and 2.
How is the chromecast working on this one? I own the old TX-NR 686, and on that one, the CC is pretty much useless.
@@E_Dtl used it several times and it works fine.
@@openmind6969 so you have all the speakers connect including the zone 2 outside and you can run different sources or the same on both zones?
My Integra (Onkyo) runs hot even tho I only use it for 4 surround channels and video switching whereas my Emotiva (sub amp) and Yamaha (L/C/R) are both cool to the touch. Stay away from hot running gear.
Thanks for watching! We absolutely agree, hot running gear is gear with a shorter lifespan. Thankfully this one stayed running cool throughout all of our testing.
Do you get clicking sounds on yours? I'll get it here and there when it's on. I have no place around here to get it checked out. It's the 3.2
@@tommyboy049 In our testing we did hear the relays clicking on and off when changing things like settings or powering the receiver on and off, but you shouldn't hear any clicking sounds just while it's sitting and playing a movie or anything like that.
@@TwoGuyzTech I’ve actually had lot of clicking to the point of annoyance. had to stop one movie played via Netflix with Dolby atmos.
Bought the Onkyo 6100 as a Christmas gift from my wife to me to replace the TX-NR545 which is still going strong. At $800 it's the most I'd ever spent on a receiver, I am seriously thinking about returning it and going with the 6050. Thoughts?
Thanks for watching! Honestly for the price difference we'd probably recommend going with the 6050 instead if you can find it in stock.
@@TwoGuyzTech Ordered it yesterday. Bought the 6100 from Best Buy and both them and Costco are next to one another around the corner from my home.
@@flixguy440 Let us know if you got 6050 in and how it compares ? Thanks
Trying to decide between the denon 760 and the onkyo 6050. Deciding factory for me would be which one has the least earc/cec issues haha
I’ve only had my Onkyo 6050 for about a week, I’ve had 0 issues with earc with my Lg CX, although im not sure how it might work with other tvs.
Did Costco just pulled them off? Not in warehouse and say product not found on website, smh.
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!
Onkyo used to make good stuff.... then they didn't. I grabbed the Denon on sale $399, it is sweetness. I've been using Denon equipment since 1995. Before that it was Carver.
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.
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.
Hi Guys - great review. Please be aware that Costco is currently discounting the Onkyo TX-NR6050 and the Klipsch Atmos system.
Thanks for the info! We appreciate it.😀
@@TwoGuyzTech I know you don't like using the installed sound analyzer. Can you do a video on how you like to measure and adjust sound? Your right, the Onkyo software does give you a starting place, but is not the best end result. Also, fyi, Onkyo just announced some financial issues and changes with their parent company. The whole Home Theater category seems to be in flux. TY
You know man , I just finished upgrading my avr and speakers . I bought Fluance Signature Series 5.0 plus 2 Fluance 10 inch subs , first tried using my old 5.1 Yamaha RX-V383 avr and as I thought not enough power for music but half-ass for movies . So I bought a Denon 540BT 5.1 AVR and wasted my money buying the 540BT because it was about the same as my Yamaha in power . So then I bought a Denon X2700H 7.2 AVR pushing 95 watts per channel at 8 ohms , slick little lies about power ratings from all avr manufacturer's I'm thinking . I had about 440 bucks in the 540BT and almost 1000 bucks in the X2700H still with a power issue for music . I bought an Outlaw 5000 5 channel with 120 watts at 8 ohms all 5 channels driven , finally a little truth about power . So I then found that I couldn't hook my new amp to my X2700H due to no pre outs on the back of my supposedly entry level avr . Not high end enough so I had to buy 3 russound adapters and then I was finally able to get good power for my music and movies . My shit sounds good now or at least I'm satisfied with the results . My point is that these companies that make the avr's or at least some of them just flat out lie about their power rating claims or use deceitful practices in advertising . Unless you happen to be a electrical engineer which I'm not most people or at least some will sucked into this money pit trap trying to upgrade their systems . That's why I honestly doubt that the claims you make about the power of the 6050 Onkyo are true . Looking at your gear which looks fairly mid to high end I don't believe you can drive your speakers with that avr . I went about 2200 bucks over what I originally wanted to spend believing the crap about ratings . I honestly think you cannot drive your speakers without adding a true amplifier to kick your 6050 in the ass to get good quality sound like I had to . Don't get me wrong now I like my results , it's just the bullshit way I went to get those results was very wrong in my opinion . I was in too deep in money where my only option was to keep spending witch I did because of deceitful practices of avr manufacturer's . So once again I dispute your claim of good power unless you added an external amplifier as false . Just my humble opinion .
We have no reason to be dishonest about our findings and what we heard using any of the receivers that we've tested on our channel, including this one. We purchase all of these receivers with our own money and stand to gain nothing by making false claims. We have no affiliation with the manufacturers or Costco, and we did not add any external amplification to this AVR, using speaker level to line level adapters or otherwise, and doing so without disclosing it would be incredibly dishonest. Not something we do here on our channel.
The gear that we featured in this video is fairly pedestrian in the grand scheme of things - we think the speakers sound great, but they are somewhat difficult to drive as we mentioned in the video. We typically use an AV processor with separate Marantz monoblocks in our living room, and that was our baseline to determine how this receiver sounds to us. And, to be quite honest, there wasn't much of a difference in sound quality in our room unless we pushed the receiver to reference levels - which we don't even do with our main system because it's just way too loud.
With that said, there's a reason we chose to use this receiver in our living room theater rather than our main theater room with all Vandersteen speakers and dedicated Emotiva amplifiers for each channel - it just wouldn't keep up. We wouldn't be able to say anything good about the receiver because it's on a completely different level - it would sound so bad compared to the setup that we run in our main theater. Everything in sound is both relative and subjective.
Manufacturers have fudged their numbers in the past - and that kind of behaviour leads to distrust in the industry which is completely founded in truth. That's why reviewers exist - to regulate the industry and call companies out on their B.S. while also offering accurate accounts of their experiences with a certain product. We don't hold things against companies because they can always try to make changes in their products, and that's why we're happy to say that we had a good experience with this receiver. Have you personally had a chance to listen to the Onkyo TX-NR6050? Especially before providing your own unfounded opinion on the product and, by extension, our channel?
You're welcome to believe whatever you want, but there are a lot of factors that come into play when reviewing these products. Unfortunately, we think that your case is a perfect example of not doing your homework before purchasing, and buying multiple receivers and hacky speaker level to RCA adapters isn't something we'd recommend. We always recommend, if budget allows, to purchase a receiver with pre-outs, but of course, if that's not within your budget, then that's where receivers like this come in. But, again, you're completely entitled to your own opinion. If you don't believe us, that's fine - but take a moment to check out the AVS Forum thread on this AVR, as well as the rest of our comments section on this video, and see what others are saying about this AVR.
They all are misleading and misrepresenting the numbers on all the receivers , and have been for quite some time ! The Outlaw Audio amp however is an excellent power amp ! Congratulations !
I'm going for the Onkyo TX-NR6050, coming from an old 2011 Sony str-dh520. Should be a good jump.
Thanks for watching! Great choice. We think you'll be happy with it!
@@TwoGuyzTech Thank you. Great review. 👍
Has anyone tried adding a amplifier to this unit I know it has no pre outs I'm talking about with the russound system from Crutchfield?
Depends on what you want it to do, mostly music and 5.2 for me. I have no use for so much that is on it and all that takes away from quality componentry that I do want or that is what I am led to think.
I've had 5 receivers since 2000 for home theater.
Dislike: onkyo back in 2000-2010 (has 5.1) run hot which killed the HDMI output.
Like: Denon 1912 (has 5.1) since 2010 run warm
Love: Denon AVR-X3700H (5. 2 independent sub outputs .4 atmos) and Denon AVR-S760H (5. 2 identical sub outputs .2 atmos) since 2021 run warm.
I love streaming Spotify from my iPhone to Denon HEOS receivers and the 7 Denon HEOS standalone speakers around my house simultaneously for a party!
Thanks for watching! The Denon AVRs are really great products, we're glad to hear that you've had a good experience with them throughout the years! We're hoping that these new measures Onkyo is putting in place will protect their receivers from HDMI board failures in the same way that their old ones did.
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.
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.
Love this channel, gives me everything I need. Keep it up👍👍
Thank you! Glad you enjoy it :)
Very well done. I have no clue what half of it all means I am 78 and just want something to work with a Sony x90 K am going to purchase from Costco. Not interested in games just decent sound. Need an AVR on a tight budget.
Glad I could help!
Thanks for your awesome reviews. Has Costco introduced the Onkyo throughout their stores or just at certain locations.
Thanks for watching! We're not sure but we suspect they're probably planning to roll them out to all of their stores.
Just tried to buy one from Costco (after watching this video) on January 30, 2022 and they are out of stock.
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.
Muy buen video, entre el onkyo y el denon AVR-S760H, cual tiene el mejor sonido estéreo?
I will inform you about the series x
