I upgraded from a Sony system to the thx onkyo and there was a pretty significant improvement in functionality and tunability. This receiver also has specific output profiles for klipsch speakers, which is very nice. There's still some tuning that needs to happen after setting them, but the autotune function gets you pretty close once the speaker types are chosen.I knocked off a star because periodically it loses cec connectivity to my TV and since I use hdmi-arc for certain connections, this often requires fully unplugging the receiver and tv and then starting up again. It happens occasionally, but it's not the worst thing in the world. I'll also add the chromecast built in functionality treats it as a singular device and you can't group the system in with a ... MoreI upgraded from a Sony system to the thx onkyo and there was a pretty significant improvement in functionality and tunability.

I'll also add the chromecast built in functionality treats it as a singular device and you can't group the system in with a "speaker group". This is a pretty major downside for me for whole home music when entertaining, but I just use a plain chromecast audio to fill this functionality instead.Soundstage is much more "present" on this system vs the Sony, and the treble on the klipsch horns really needs to be balanced down, but once set, the sound is fantastic!

Upgraded from an early 90’s Onkyo TX-SV 525 and am pleasantly surprised. Not familiar with HDMI inputs, as the old receiver came out before HDMI was a thing, I was a little nervous how things might work but it was seamless. The initial setup was painless and the receiver did everything for me. My setup includes new Polk Monitor XT70 tower speakers, Polk surround speakers, 2 Polk subs and 2 Polk ceiling firing speakers. All I can say is WOW! I can’t believe I have been missing this sound from movies as well as music. My wife and I have not listened to music like this for some time. We now come home from work and rather than turning on the TV, we turn listen to Spotify or records until bedtime. I researched receivers by Denon and Yamaha but this receiver seemed to ... MoreUpgraded from an early 90’s Onkyo TX-SV 525 and am pleasantly surprised.

I researched receivers by Denon and Yamaha but this receiver seemed to have more features and due to being on sale, was cheaper than the others. My last receiver was my first Onkyo purchase and was still going strong when I unplugged it so I know they are built to last. Very pleased and would encourage anyone to buy this receiver.

With more and more streaming devices supporting Dolby Atmos, and the introduction of 8K resolution TV, it’s nice to see a manufacturer provide an option that will last until another new standard hits the market.In the box, you’ll find the receiver, quick setup guides, AM/FM antenna, a remote (batteries included), and a setup microphone. On the rear of the unit, you’ll find several inputs and outputs providing compatibility with both newer and older media devices. There are 6 HDMI inputs, 3 of which support 8K/60 & 4k/120 input, with the remaining 4 supporting 4K/60 devices. The device supports up to a 7.2 speaker setup, and has 2 pre-outs for Subwoofers (if you’re using more than one).Setup was fairly straight forward, install the speakers into the appropriate ... MoreWith more and more streaming devices supporting Dolby Atmos, and the introduction of 8K resolution TV, it’s nice to see a manufacturer provide an option that will last until another new standard hits the market.In the box, you’ll find the receiver, quick setup guides, AM/FM antenna, a remote (batteries included), and a setup microphone.

The device supports up to a 7.2 speaker setup, and has 2 pre-outs for Subwoofers (if you’re using more than one).Setup was fairly straight forward, install the speakers into the appropriate output, and follow the initial setup on the TV using the included remote. You’ll be asked to perform an audio calibration using the included microphone, and I’d highly recommend performing this step when you can have some quiet. The Receiver will send out audio tones, which are heard by the microphone and then calibrated for your listening environment. During the setup process you’ll also decide whether to connect to your network using the ethernet port, or with WiFi (the antennas are pre-installed). If you’re lucky enough to have a new iOS device, you can use this to connect to your WiFi network in a similar way to setting up a new AirPlay speaker. Simply find the device in your WiFi settings, tap it, and you’ll see the receiver automatically connect to the same network as your iPhone.You’ll also receive prompts to enable Alexa and Google Chromecast. Given that I use mostly streaming services, I connected up my new Apple TV 4K, which supports Dolby Vision and Atmos audio. It took some messing around with my Sony TV to pass through the video properly, but once I enabled “Enhanced Inputs” the device automatically displayed over the HDMI eARC port. There was no need to run HDMI to my TV, as the receiver was able to act as the switch. You’ll also need to remember to turn off additional audio format if you’ve enabled this on your Apple TV; it needs to be set to Auto to allow Dolby Atmos.I paired this receiver with new Klipsch Reference Series speakers, including two heights, two floor standing, center channel, two bookshelf speakers, and a 10 inch Klipsch Subwoofer. All of them provided crisp sound, and elevated the sound while watching movies purchased on my Apple TV with full Atmos, and even when streaming from all services. It was a much better movie viewing experience overall, and if you’ve been used to only TV or a simple Soundbar, you’ll be in for a treat.The receiver is compatible with Dolby Digital/Atmos, DTS:X, and is certified for THX sound. It also has bluetooth, which once set up, will allow you to play from a paired device. You can also use it for AirPlay, with your compatible Mac or iOS device for instant playback on those devices. I have yet to notice any delays in the audio playback on any device (outside of bluetooth), and the device also supports CEC. So, you’re able to control the volume using your compatible CEC devices; such as the Apple TV with it’s remote. I almost forgot to mention that this will also pair with your SONOSOverall, I’m highly impressed with the Onkyo NR6100 Receiver. The audio is clear, loud, enjoyable, and a quality upgrade from my previous Soundbar System. It’s feature rich, supporting most major audio formats, is ready for future 8K devices, and offers plenty of inputs for all of your Hi-Fi devices or Phono Player of choice. I’d highly recommend giving this one a shot.
