The Onkyo TX-NR616 has the HDMI 1.4 inputs, which are compatible with the 3D signal. The available MHL technology supports high-definition video transmission (it provides high-resolution image display (up to 4K)) while charging a connected mobile device. I also appreciate the Deep Color feature that brings a greater number of shades of colors in the image on the screen.
The Onkyo TX-NR616 AV receiver has a rectangular body frame with a large rounded adjuster on the front panel. The large volume knob is solid and the bezel glowing around it can be turned off in the setup menu. The green figures on the receiver’s screen are bright and greatly visible at any time of the day. Four rubber legs are stable and the construction of the body frame protects the inner elements from the dust.
The Onkyo Remote 2 app allows you to control the receiver using an iPhone/Android. It is especially convenient to exploit with Onkyo’s built-in streaming services since the application repeats what is on your smartphone on the TV screen. The downside may be that the app sometimes freezes and doesn’t respond to commands. The Onkyo TX-NR616 review shows that it doesn’t have built-in Wi-Fi but allows you to connect an external Wi-Fi module via USB. There’s an Ethernet, due to which all the network functions are available, including software updates, smartphone controls, and media streaming from your home network and the Internet.
I can fully enjoy the QDEO technology that allows reaching the 4K resolution and really decent picture quality. The control over the device is simplified by a nice graphic interface equipped with the ability to preview all connected sources. It looks like a picture-in-picture function and makes it possible not to rename the inputs. Pay attention that after pressing the Home button, a series of figures are superimposed on top of the video being watched.
Despite decent Onkyo TX-NR616 specs, the receiver has rather a rasp sound. On the one hand, the wideness of the panorama is very pleasing and the localization of the effects is accurate. After careful listening, you can detect the synthetic notes and not entirely reliable transmission of voices and musical instruments. The Dynamic EQ и Dynamic Volume options can be the reason for it, as they make the sound less dynamic but raise the bass level and mute the high frequencies.
The Onkyo TX-NR616 stereo receiver has 8 HDMI inputs, including one on the front panel. The front USB port supports iPhone, iPad, and Android, so you can connect these devices directly using a corresponding cable and work with media files on the screen. Composite video input and a mini-jack are provided in the front part (for older devices).
It’s equipped with Audyssey 2EQ automatic calibration system. If you want to do the calibration without bothering yourself, use the Audyssey Quick Start function with one microphone position (in the usual listening position), the whole operation takes several minutes. If there is a bit more time, run Audyssey 2EQ. This is a full calibration with three positions for the microphone, which will expand the area of optimal sound. The special app can also be useful while adjusting, as it contains the manual guide and recommendations.
The surveyed receiver has enough HDMI inputs for various purposes and its app is a great helper in setup and performance. 4K resolution makes it easy to enjoy the picture. The sound is peculiar, but you can get used to it.

If you want an easy-to-set-up, affordable FHD receiver for your home theater, go no further than the Onkyo TX-SR608. This 7.2-channel model is 3D-capable and features Dolby and DTS codecs that provide superior sound improvement.
The receiver has an all-black design and its front panel is made of aluminum. There you will see a large volume knob, source buttons, buttons to switch between sound modes (Movie/TV, Music, and Game), etc. In addition, it has such ports: an HDMI input, phones jack, and 4 AUX inputs.
This model has a classic design and incorporates all the most important buttons. I rate the design at a 10 out of 10.
The TX-SR608 has a 1080p upscaling feature, so it can improve the quality of lower-resolution content. All of its HDMI ports are 3D-capable. The receiver also features Dynamic Volume and Dynamic EQ technologies to ensure a balanced sound. They aid in resolving difficulties associated with sound fluctuations in movies by keeping them consistent. There is also an onboard AM/FM tuner that allows saving up to 40 presets.
Unlike the prior version of this receiver (the Onkyo TX-SR607), the current model is THX Select2 Plus certified, which means it can deliver a sound level sufficient for rooms up to 2000 cubic feet in size. As a result, it has a more powerful amplifier, rated to generate 100W per each of its seven channels.
Speaking of things that I didn't like is that it doesn't have any network features. I also wish the buttons on the Onkyo TX-SR608 remote were color-coded.
The receiver has some disadvantages, but they don't spoil the overall impression too much. Thus, I think it deserves to get a 9/10 here.
I hooked up the receiver to my TV and Xbox, and the picture was very satisfying. The device also generates very little heat and works quietly. The user interface is easy-to-understand and provides quick access to the receiver's features. However, I've noticed some sound drops while watching Blu-ray movies.
Since the receiver's performance is generally satisfying, it can be rated at a 9/10.
The Onkyo TX-SR608 specs allow this receiver to reproduce sound quality that can be compared to the one of more expensive models. My old Bose speakers sounded better than they have ever sounded before. The volume level was outstanding. I didn't have to crank it up for more than 50% to fill my living room with sound. Plus, for the creation of more enveloping surround sound, it features the Dolby Pro-Logic IIz technology.
The sound is a strong point of this receiver. Therefore, I feel confident rating it at a 10 out of 10.
The receiver can't offer wireless functionality, but the number of its onboard connectors is fairly satisfying:
Unfortunately, it lacks a USB connector as well as Bluetooth/Wi-Fi. So, in the connectivity section, the receiver gets a score of 8/10.
As it was said in the Onkyo TX-SR608 manual, I connected the receiver to my speaker system and TV, and then followed the on-screen instructions. The Audyssey 2EQ automatic setup makes it easy to get your speakers to sound flawlessly with the receiver. A microphone for basic EQ configuration is also supplied. You can perform setup in a manual mode as well.
Installing the receiver was an easy process, so it gets 10 out of 10 points for setup.
Finishing this Onkyo TX-SR608 review, I can say that this receiver hits the sweet spot between budget and expensive models. It has almost everything you're going to need for an FHD home theater, including an FHD upscaling and 3D support features. This device will also significantly improve the sound of your speakers.
