Date: 2008-05-11 Good receiver Hi, I bought the Onkyo 705 in April 2007 for $522.00 I had a 5.1 receiver previously. I had wanted a receiver that was up to date with current technology and I feel that Onkyo delivered that to me at a fair price. My only grip is trying to understand how to coordinate the speakers I have to be effective when using the 7.1 modes and I really can't tell if the THX rating really makes a difference, but that is probably my own hang up. I would have given the Onkyo 705 five stars but I don't like how it runs so hot. Date: 2008-05-09 THE BEST RECEIVER FOR MONEY I bought this receiver about 3 weeks ago. I am really impresed how good it is, ofcourse in this price range. My opinion the best for the price on today's market. Well build and looks beautifull. THX certyfication, 3 HDMI inputs which You can easely use to connect your satelite, dvd and game console without any extra cables and ofcourse new codecs DTS-HD MASTER AUDIO and DOLBY TRUE HD - impressed how good audio can be. Very easy to connect, to operate. Took me about 15 minutes to connect my Dish, PS3 and DVD using HDMI 1.3a (audio and video together). Works fantastic. Don't worry about the heat some people warry about, is not bad. My ONKYO runs 7 floor standings speakers with front Polk Audio Monitor 70's. Works excellent. You can easely find all information on AVS-FORUM they have dedicated site for it. Just buy it and don't wait. I highly recommend this product. Date: 2008-05-08 Nice receiver I bought this a couple weeks back and it arrived the NEXT DAY with free shipping (as well as the latest firmware 1.06). Good job Amazon! I have the receiver working with an XBR5, PS3, and KEF 3000 series speakers. Great combination. Date: 2008-05-05 Heat Problem Just replaced my Onkyo TS-DS696 with this unit. Sound quality is much better than before BUT I may be sending it back. In the standby mode, the unit still produces quite a bit of heat which my other unit never exhibited. I called Onkyo support and they indicated that it was normal, which did not seem correct to me. I went to two local locations Circuit City and Frys and tested the same unit in the standby mode. The receivers remained at room temperature. I may just have a bad unit and will exchange for another Onkyo receiver. I still love Onkyo products and will give them another try. Date: 2008-05-03 Tremendous Product Incredible amplifier/receiver for the price. Has nearly every DSP mode that you could possibly want and tremendous flexibility. It's amazing that TrueHD, DTS MasterAudio, THX certification and MultiEQ2 are available at this price point. The flexibility of this product could create confusion for some but the setup process is actually very easy. The lack of a beautiful Graphical User Interface is mentioned by some reviewers as a negative but don't let that dissuade you from selecting this receiver. The on-screen setup may not be as pretty as that featured by Sony products but it is very usable.
