"A real powerhouse for the money, capable of shaking the room", "it sounds every bit as good as the model it replaces, and has added functionality and flexibility, making it an even better buy than its Award-winning predecessor", "Building on an Award-winning bargain, the '606 is a steal" |

"Good connectivity with plenty of HDMI sockets; much improved GUI; Dynamic EQ", "At only £400, we reckon this HD audio receiver will sell like hot cakes". |
|

Onkyo's second generation high definition AV receivers build on the success of the previous models and somehow manage to improve them even more!
The TX-SR606 certainly doesn't disappoint. Based on the multi-award-winning TX-SR605, the 606 features four 1080p capable HDMI inputs and video upscaling from all sources up to 1080i for HDMI output so that, whatever you're watching, it'll look its best. The TX-SR606 really shines with Blu-ray and upscaled DVDs. Play them on your HD-ready plasma or LCD and enjoy stunning quality.
HD audio is also at its best with the TXSR606. It will decode Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus and DTS-HD Master Audio/High Resolution Audio. Enjoy full HD 7.1 channel surround soundtracks that will knock your socks off! Of course, standard Dolby Digital and DTS are decoded too and non-HDMI equipped devices can use the TXSR606's optical and coaxial inputs or the 7.1 channel analogue input. Auto microphone calibration using the Audyssey 2EQ make it easy to set-up and fine tune your speakers - just plug in the microphone and the TXSR606 does the rest.
For the very best video and audio performance for not a lot of money, it's clear that the Onkyo TX SR606 is a winner.
