awesome
I'm one of those people, that when I buy something electronic, I research it to death. I was looking for a receiver under $400. After my research I went with onkyo and am not disappointed at all. I was extremely easey to set up and hook up. The best part is the surround doesn't overwhelm the center channel during action movies and TV. Great sound, easy to set up, every connection I need, and great price.

Very good, but beware of the HUMMM
After reading reviews and talking with sales reps, I decided on the Onkyo TX-SR606 receiver instead of the Yamaha. I am happy with my purchase as the Onkyo produces great sound and video and has many extras. However, the Onkyo has developed a loud and noticeable hummm. (I've had it about 2 months) Some of the reviews mentioned this, but I thought they were just the unfortunate few. Now, I'm one of them. I will take it in to an authorized Onkyo service repair center, but this is a pain. The repair center has already told me that the parts to fix this are backlogged for several weeks.
If you buy the Onkyo 606, maybe you will be one of the fortunate few that don't have to deal with the HUMMMM.

Great Value
before i go into the review let me state i own a Denon 3808, Onkyo 805, and this Onkyo 606

Out of all those 3 the 606 is the best value, with 4 hdmi input. that are capable of upconverting to 1080P. But there are some things that you don't get with with the 606 that you do with the 805. some of which include a power plug to plug into a fan ( if you don't already know onkyo's get VERY VERY hot) and you will want a small computer fan along and/or plenty of room to breathe (NO STACKING). As for power i challenge anyone to find speakers that it can't handle, you won't find any. The auto calibration system that they use in both the 606 and the 805 in considered by most to be the very best in the industry. the standalone version of the box that does what the reciever can do cost $1500

If you are just getting into the whole home theater rig or you are looking to replace a existing reciever, you won't regret the 606. i have owned Sony's, Panasonic's, Denon's, Onkyo's, and Poineer's. and out all of those Onkyo gives you the most for your money

Easy Setup
Receiver is very easy to hook-up and setup. Audyssey option is fantastic and takes the complexity out of the installation process. Excellent sound in music or movies even with less than premium speakers. If you are looking for a receiver that is easy to use, easy to setup, and produces excellent audio quality than look no further!

Very good deal
Amazon had a very good price, and delivered on time. Excellent service, as usual.
The receiver itself is great. The HDMI switching works well, and so do all the audio decoders. For the price, one of the best deals 'today'.
