   Just bought the 606 to replace my wonderful old Yamaha. I can’t not believe how great this receiver is. Great sound, love all my HDMI connections.

2. Great for 1 Year

   I’ll back-up what Ron said. I loved the receiver for the first year. Now it’s having HMDI problems. It seems the HDMI 1.3a repeater in this receiver is junk and prone to failing.

   I love the features in the new 607, but I’m afraid to get it since I don’t know if the HDMI issue has been resolved.

3. HDMI problems after a year

   Loved the 606 for it’s first year. Then HDMI problems occurred. Losing signal/dropping signal. Went through a long series of tracking and it is in the 606 versus other components or cables. All cables replaced.

   Looks like there are a number of threads on the net regarding HDMI ports failing after time.

   Can’t find any help from ONKYO.

   Hooked up to a XBOX 360, Digital Cable and BlueRay DVD. All HDMI at 720p, and all are working/switching perfectly. No humming or other line noise. Have the receiver running out to a Gefen splitter and sending signal to both a Toshiba HDTV and a Mitsubishi projector. Works great and the sound is unbelievable. MUCH better than my Yamaha receiver, which was very good in and of itself. Highly recommend.

   I had a hard time to decide upon a Bose amp and an Onkyo amp. Finally I decided that I would go with the Onkyo amp thinking about its price and as well as the features that were provided. So far I have not regretted my decision.

6. Very happy with TX-SR606

   Was going to buy TX-SR705 because it had more HDMI inputs than the 605, then the 606 came out! Replaced a Pioneer VSX-906S, which was superb in its day, but wanted HDMI and 7.1 capabilities. Sound, picture and versatility of 606 are amazing. Future accomodation to new technologies are welcome provisions. Overall, I rate this Receiver as Excellent and a fantastic bargain. Well done Onkyo!!!

   I am one day in with the Onkyo 606. This is my first upgrade in 8 years and I was uncertain with so many choices. The Onkyo 606 does have it all. You can’t go wrong with this unit. I have an old Sony 100 watt with satellite and it still sounds great too. I ordered 4 Klipsch RCX-5’s and RCX-4 centerâ….this unit will kick butt. If you truly think about it, we all paid more for much less in the past.
