Audition one today to hear and see what you have been missing.br small* Requires optional antenna and paid subscription./small p bKey technology Features and Supported FOrmats:/bbr b192 kHz/24bit AD Converters:/b Costly, extremely powerful digital-to-analog converters , that not only boast a dynamic range of 120 dB, they process information faster and are virtually resistant to clock jitter, to ensure the best possible performance from DVD-Audio, DVD-Video and audio CD. p bDVD-Audio:/b Prepare for the concert of a lifetime! 5.1 channel DVD-Audio combines multichannel high-resolution audio with video, song lyrics and more. While discs that carry this logo must be played back in DVD-A equipped machines to unleash their full potential, many are compatible with conventional DVD-Video players as well. p bJPG:/b JPG is a standard image format used in today's digital cameras and personal computers. DVD players that carry this logo are able to read CD-R/RWs that contain JPG image information and display slide shows on your television (such as recent vacations, family photos, etc.). p bRI (Remote Interactive):/b With Onkyo's exclusive RI (Remote Interactive) system capability, you can integrate and operate all compatible components through a single remote control. What's more, RI capability enables you to simply connect the iPod to your receiver through Onkyo's RI Dock for the iPod (DS-A1). Your iPod effectively becomes another Onkyo component from which you can relish a fuller sound that just can't be experienced through headphones. RI capability will also give you remote operability of your iPod for hands-off control over your digital music. p bPlays WMA:/b This audio compression format from Microsoft allows you to reduce the size of your audio files for storage on your computer's hard drive or portable devices. This allows you to store many more songs than with uncompressed CD audio, using the same amount of disc space or memory. For example, a standard 650MB CD can hold more than 200 songs in WMA format. Various bitrates allow for higher or lower quality, depending on the desired sound quality of the final recording. p bCD Video:/b This format, known as Video-CD (VCD), is commonly used for karaoke, to produce home movies, and slideshows, with menus and other special on-screen graphics. p bMP3 Playback:/b This audio format achieves about a 10:1 compression over conventional CD audio. What does this mean? You can store many more songs using the same amount of space. For example, a standard 650MB CD can hold more than 200 songs in MP3 format. Various bitrates allow for higher or lower quality, depending on the desired sound quality of the final recording. p bSACD:/b Are you ready for a brand new music listening experience? 5.1 channel Super Audio CD represents the best music has to offer. Direct Stream Digital#153; recording technology is a drastic improvement over Compact Disc, both in technology and sound quality. Thanks to multichannel sound, it doesn't just appear as if the musicians are playing in your living room. It sounds as if you're transported from your living room into the original performance space. p bWRAT (Wide Range Amp Technology):/b Imagine turning up the volume and filling your entertainment room with noise-free, impressively powerful, true-to-life sound. That's the benefit of Wide Range Amplifier Technology. Originally developed for our most expensive high-end amplifiers to handle the sonic demands of today's digital age, you'll now find WRAT even in our lowest-priced A/V receivers. The WRAT family of technologies includes a broader frequency range with lower noise entering the signal path - perfectly suited for new high resolution DVD-Audio and SACD formats. p bXM Ready:/b The XM "Connect-and-Play," is a revolutionary technology platform designed to integrate XM into virtually any home or portable consumer electronics entertainment device. By matching XM Ready audio systems with a simple, elegant antenna/receiver, getting XM becomes even easier for home audio listeners. p bDTS Surround:/b DTS is a discrete 5.1 channel audio format for movies and music. Unlike its Dolby Digital counterpart, DTS uses less compression for its audio encoding. p bDolby Digital / Pro-Logic II:/b Dolby Digital is a discrete 5.1 channel audio format for movies and music. Pro-Logic II is the latest improvement on the original Pro-Logic standard. Pro-Logic II provides a full-range signal to the five main channels, in addition to a subwoofer channel. This creates a realistic surround environment from a two-channel source, such as CD, Tape, FM Radio, etc. p bVLSC:/b Conventional D/A conversion methods reduce digital pulse noise at the conversion stage but can't remove it completely. Previously only found on our high-end components, VLSC (Vector Linear Shaping Circuitry) employs a unique D/A conversion circuit to overcome this problem. Data is converted between sampling points and these points are joined with analog vectors in real-time to produce a smooth output wave form. The result #151; a virtually noiseless, smooth analog signal based on the digital source to bring out even the most subtle of nuances in your music, movie soundtracks and even MP3s!

 it blew after a year, and Onkyo didn't care September 28, 2008
David Lawton (St Louis, MO United States)
I was pleased with this at first. I did not use it heavily - it was a bedroom system, not my main one. After just over one year, so just out of warranty,it gave a loud bang and then made no sound. I did all obvious troubleshooting and then called Onkyo - they just said that it was my problem, and to take it to any service shop at my expense. Their closest Onkyo specialist service was six hundred miles away. Unacceptable. Save your money - buy something else.
Open the box before your ability to return to Amazon runs out July 12, 2008

I received this as a gift and didn't open the box because I didn't have anywhere to put it until after the 30 days to return to Amazon expired. The CD/DVD drawer on the unit didn't work. I couldn't register the unit with Onkyo (required to get warranty work) because they didn't have a record of the serial number (?). The unit had a date of manufacture of 2005 - it was bought in mid-2007 so this was kind of odd. It was very difficult to get the unit in - the place was over fifty miles away and was open during work hours. Not only was the power unit broken and had to be replaced but the inside of the unit was dirty. There is a good chance I paid a new price for a refurbished unit that was never repaired. The stereo sounds good but now I hope nothing else goes wrong since the warranty expired before I heard it play the first CD.
 A good compromise June 27, 2008
Dominick J. Paolillo (Ithaca, NY)
I am happy I bought this set. It is versatile and has a fine sound. The unit is compact, the sound is full-sized. The good things I read in reviews of this item are true for the unit I received. Plus, I can not believe that what I hear in theater listening mode is coming from only two speakers.
Better Than Most Costing Substantially More!!! February 17, 2008

Got mine for $93 on clearance at Circuit City who seems to have a policy of dropping everything at least 60% if it hangs around for a year or more. I originally thought of buying it at the previous sale of $199 but was glad I waited and got it for $106 less! br / br /This unit replaces a previous Onkyo that still played like a champ but couldn't handle SACD or MP3s, let alone video DVDs. br / br /So far, so good. Digests everythings I put in the CD drawer although it has a nasty tendency not to show how many songs are on a disk nor does it show titles and artists unless you know how to manipulate the remote for the on screen menu. br / br /Speaking of such, be aware that the remote is a monster of 50 or more buttons that Albert Einstein couldn't figure out. br / br /Sound reproduction is good and the CD player seems quiet with the only detected hiss being on an analog CD made from an old vinyl record (so I imagine most of the noise was from the vinyl original and not the CD). br / br /By the way, if you want deeper, booming bass than you had been opt for the subwoofer. Theatre mode does right fine for me in that respect. br / br /As always, a class act from Onkyo and, by the way, it comes with 1 year warranty! May not sound like much, but most only come with 90 days!
 Sound is just not for me January 30, 2008

I recently purchased this and while the components all seem to be very well made, the sound just was not for me. It seemed as though the reproduction of the music was based upon what someone thought I (the public) would like. It was very digital sounding, very compressed, lacking any warmth. I have to say that what came out of the speakers just did not seem to sound real to me. The only thing that was half way decent to my ears was listening to some classical music on the radio. Trying to listen to the Beatles and Bob Dylan and even newer band recordings was just upsetting. br /I guess I was spoiled by my 30 year old analog-based vintage Scott Receiver which had recently stopped working. I inherited the Scott receiver from my brother after he left for college (Thanks Paul!). I think I am going to have to get that thing fixed afterall- or buy a vintage receiver somewhere else. Even with my newer cheap Sony speakers it sounded a hundred times better then the Onkyo. br /The moral of the story: If you grew up with analog sound (vinyl records and old receivers) you should think twice about getting this Onkyo system.
