Top pick

I believe that this was a top pick of Home Theater Mag, when they were reviewing it. I can't complain. If I had more money I might have spent more money. So what more could I ask for? More money, a bigger house a theater room bigger badder speakers, thats what we all want right. Still dreaming.

Great value and great sound. But flaw connecting to PS3.

For such a price, none of other receivers can beat the Onkyo 606.

I read the specs of many amps. 606 has more HDMIs and it supports video upconverting (only to 1080i), biamp (does improve my speakers' sound). The sound quality is among the best.

Although it supports those blu-ray sound format decoding, it is not a deal breaker since most blu-ray player has decoder themselves, and PS3 can't even pass through those codec but only PCM.

One big problem when using PS3 (both 605 and 606): it has background noise and it is very noticable when volume is higher than 60. It is one onkyo chip bug and requires firmware update. I haven't done it yet worrying about broke it down.

Bottomline: it is the best receiver for this price considering the feature, sound quality, HD support. (despite the PS3 bug)

As part of the second generation of Onkyo high-definition-capable receivers, the TX-SR606 is at the forefront of affordable home theater. The key is to have the most capable version of HDMI. The TX-SR606 provides high-definition video and audio processing for four source components?another first for Onkyo at this level. From Blu-ray Disc players to gaming consoles and cable/satellite boxes, you have everything in the digital realm covered. Apart from 1080p video, the TX-SR606 can upscale all video signals to 1080i, regardless of the connection, for output via HDMI. Onkyo?s own RIHD (Remote Interactive over HDMI) also gives you inter-operability with the displays and playback components from other leading brands. And with an expanded version of Audyssey?s room correction technology, the TX-SR606 maintains the fullness of surround sound audio quality at low volume levels. The TX-SR606 offers all-round excellence rarely seen at this level.
