Good: - Dirac Live. If you need to drive 9 speakers and you want Dirac Live then its this or a Denon which costs $2000 after you add up all the firmware upgrades you have to pay for. I have experience with Audessey XT32(Very good) and Yamaha YPAO(Terrible, avoid!) room correction. Dirac Live is absolutely incredible at making things sound pure and natural. Go through the 9 position microphone setup, its worth the time. - setup for is easy. Manual is well written.Bad: - It runs hot. The manual recommends 8" clearance above and 4" to each side for ventilation. This really narrows you choices when deciding where to put it if in a cabinet. I chose to put it on top so it will breathe easily.

I've only owned Pioneer Elite A/V recievers for the past 25 years. I wanted to update my last Elite A/V and this Onkyo was on sale for a price I couldn't resist, and I don't care that a new model is out. The reviews seemed like this woulld be a good fit for my needs.Set-up was a little confusing. I printed the 175 page manual and the diagrams for selecting speaker size placement is a bit confusing. However after figuring out which diagram was most similar to my speraker placement, using the microphone was a breeze. I also set up a Zone 2 which I could never figure out with the Pioneer.After my 15yr old speakers were calibrated, and unfortunately only 5.1 because I don't have room for more speakers, the sound was amazing. (Focal Chorus 826v front, Chorus CC800v center, Martin Logan Dynamo sub, Infinity ceiling surround speakers).The first thing I always watch to evaluate any new receiver, is the shootout after the bank robbery in the movie Heat. This reciever really put out great sound.Then I had to listen to some of my favorite songs from Boston, Rush, Led Zeppelin, Yes, VH, and Pink Floyd. All I can say is wow. This reciever can easily power my spekers, and it was so crisp. My kids had to come out of their rooms upstairs to tell me to turn down the volume.This is my first Onkyo reciever. I don't know why I never considered this brand before. I think I'll be loyal to Onkyo for the next 20+ years.

I am not a sophisticated audiophile and just want a powerful and versatile receiver. My old Onkyo receiver recently failed and this new Onkyo TX-NR7100 receiver checked all the boxes and more than met my expectations at about 49% off the list price. The receiver arrived on time and was easy to setup. Using DIRAC Live to optimize my 5.1 speaker setup was easy and effective with one major exception: even though I repeated the setup multiple times the subwoofer setup always resulted in -9.5 db sound adjustment, i.e. totally useless. I thereby contacted Onkyo customer support and they were very good about showing me how to adjust the subwoofer sound quality without disturbing the DIRAC Live adjustments for the other speakers. They were also very helpful in showing me some other setup features which are beneficial. Overall I highly recommend this receiver for anyone interested in great sound quality at a reasonable price.

I can't believe how much better the sound quality is! I was originally gonna go with the Yamaha A4A. I had gotten both of them brand new out of the box and Tested them side by side on music and surround sound movies. I had gotten the Yamaha for an amazing sale At under $900 so I really wanted to keep it, plus I like the look a lot better. I would highly recommend going into your local best buy or whatever you have near you That has these units so you can listen to them side by side. You will find each different brand actually has its own kinda sound to it, and the most expensive one you might not even like.

We decided it was finally time to upgrade our older Denon AVR-1913. After some research we chose this Onkyo 7100. It sounds great, when it's working. Unfortunately the back right surround channel scratches, pops and then goes silent after what seems like a somewhat random period of time. Unfortunately, we bought it when we got a good sale price on Amazon, but had to go out of town just after it was delivered, so were unable to install it for a couple weeks, and after that it was a week before we noticed the speaker going out. By the time we realized the problem, it was too late to return it to Amazon.All that said, what we are really upset about is Onkyo's support. They have no live chat or phone support. NONE. A modern AVR is a complicated set up, and expensive, some form a live support is a MUST. We've contacted Onkyo via email, and they are responding, but it's a slow tedious task of them sending one more test they want done, and so far no offer to replace it. The first thing they wanted of course was for us to factory reset the entire system. The thing is, we tested everything we could think of before we even wrote them. Cutting and installing new wires, swapping back left and right speakers, swapping back left and right speaker wires. Everything came to the same conclusion, there is an issue with the back right channel. We are still waiting to hear back from them after the factory reset. Maybe they will replace it, frankly, we just want to return it, but in the end, we just want a working AVR.1 star for having no live support, and slow unresponsive email support.Update: They asked for our Amazon receipt, which we provided, and then responded:"If your device is under warranty, please send a copy of the purchase receipt for verification. If you're unable to provide a copy of the purchase receipt or you are no longer covered under the warranty umbrella, you will be responsible for the cost of the repair as well as the shipping costs. "AND then... provided zero information on how to get service other than a list of shops we can send it to for repairs, shipping at our expense. It's possible they will reimburse return shipping and the repair, but they provide no details on how to set that up. I guess we are suppose to ask the repair shop?

I have given this item 1 star only for the fact that this item wasn't advertised as the American version of the receiver, so this is relating to the voltage being 120 not the UK voltage of 240. This receiver has been available for over 18 months in the states and Canada and when correspondence amerged it will be available in Europe (240 voltage option) in Autum I kept checking various selling platforms. So checked on the UK Amazon site it was being sold I ordered 1, not very happy when it finally arrived and it was the 120 voltage version. I have sent it back (got a full refund), there is options to buy various electrical add ons so the 120 option is OK to use here in this country but didn't want anymore bulky electrical boxes on show.

Recibà el producto de acuerdo a lo mencionado en la descripción, no ha presentado ninguna falla tras varios meses de uso, llegó en buenas condiciones. Cumple perfectamente las funciones con televisores 4K, HDR, Dolby Vision, funciona perfecto con Apple TV 4K y PS5 para explotar las funciones de HDR, VRR, 120hz, entre otras, muy recomendado.

This my second Onkyo after purchasing a TX-NR797, 5 years ago. This 7100 receiver was relatively easy to set-up. The internet installed fast. The connections are plenty, however I wasn’t sure whether I wanted my Samsung 85 to be the brains or Onkyo 7100 receiver. I went with my Samsung for now. So now the EARC is running from television to receiver. Cogeco cable box and Sony 4K player are hooked up via Samsung. One big selling feature was Dirac Live. I waited until it was very quiet. I downloaded the IOS version on phone first but I couldn’t get the App to work properly. I troubleshot online and downloaded the Windows version. That did the trick. The audio sounds brilliant now. I have a 7.1.2 configuration. Klipsch fronts, centre and sub, Definitive Technology bi-polars mid-surrounds, Sony atmos ceiling speakers and Energy back surrounds. We watched the 4K Elvis movie. The sound was 100% legit, it is Man Cave approved. The Onkyo answered the bell with immersive sound. I have only begun to maximize the 7100’s capabilities, but to me this receiver is phenomenal value and comes highly recommended by me.

YOUR RESULTS MAY VARY! Having managed several audio stereo stores years ago I've never had an issue buying preowned electronics. If you're going to have a problem, it'll occur right off the bat or the first week. My budget was around $1000 for an A V receiver but I wanted to get one with DIRAC LIVE capabilities. Onkyo has one but it was priced around $1600 but Skadi Electronics had a used one for around $1100 so I placed my order. Steven at Skadi Electronics discovered there was an issue with the only one they had left and offered me an upgrade to a top of line Pioneer at no extra charge! This model retails for $2000! Skadi has proven that they stand by a policy of wanting to keep their customers satisfied.
