Why it's a best pick:
The Onkyo TX-SR607 is an update to the popular Onkyo TX-SR606, our former #1 pick. Just like its predecessor, this midrange receiver delivers excellent sound quality and a terrific feature set for the money. It packs a whopping 6 HDMI inputs -- including one on the front panel -- which is extremely impressive for a mid-priced receiver. Setup is very straightforward using the Audyssey 2EQ automatic speaker calibration system and included microphone, and after achieving room-optimized sound, the Onkyo TX-SR607 delivers very impressive audio performance that’s on par with more expensive receivers. It supports decoding of most surround formats including Dolby TrueHD and DTS-Master Audio. It also features Audyssey Dynamic Volume, which helps keep volume levels consistent while watching TV or movies. Though this receiver can upconvert analog sources to 1080i, its video processing is not very impressive. But if most of your components output over HDMI, this won’t be an issue. It also lacks a GUI (found on the Sony STR-DG920), but the menu system is still simply and easy to navigate. Overall, the Onkyo TX-SR607 is a very impressive midrange receiver with terrific sound quality, outstanding HDMI connectivity, and easy setup. It’s available for under $500 online, making it an excellent value.
