Summary: Excellent receiver
Review: I got this as my first jump to surround sound/HDTV and i didn't want to get something that I would need to replace later when I updated my other components. That was the deal sealer for me, this bad boy has 3 component jacks and you need/want component jacks for HDTV, DVD, PS2, HDTV converter box, etc. So you need a few and this had the most for the money. A HDTV will also have 1-2 components so keep in mind you'll want a receiver with at least 2. I was very impressed that this unit it the 'brains' so to speak. Everything goes thru this unit, it's like a head unit rather then a piece of a system. Even the TV goes thru this. Very nice, the remote can control everything. Nice sound options, fairly easy to configure. Optical outs, one on the front, give great sound quality. Just so many features I could go on and on. Onkyo is a quality brand from what I was told and I couldn't be more happy with the unit.

Summary: I'm on cloud nine
Review: I was looking for a dolby digital receiver to replace my old harman kardon pro logic receiver. I tried the new panasonic receiver and was not happy with it. I returned it and was looking at the receivers offered by both onkyo and harman kardon. I chose the onkyo TX-SR600. I have no regrets. The first thing I did was play music. The sound was so sweet and powerful that I thought I died and went to heaven. After a long set up process, I watched MINORITY REPORT as my first movie using dolby digital. "WOW", I have never enjoyed watching a dvd more than I did using this receiver. The only drawbacks are that I now need to buy a phono pre-amp in order to listen to lp's, and also the volume control needs to be turned up high to get a good sound level. I have heard of how good onkyo receivers are, I'm a believer. Try it you will be too.
