I need to to upgrade my receiver from a new non hdmi Yamaha HTR-5890 to hdmi one. Researched a lot of receivers in addition to bought a Denon AVR990 7. 1-Channel Multi-Zone Cabling do you Receiver with Networking Capability and 1080p HDMI On the internet. Then I found out this different receiver Onkyo is releasing and was attributable to be out pretty soon. I cherished the Denon’s features, especially the built in HD Radio which I miss in that Onkyo. Anyway, I still love the fresh new Onkyo TX-NR609.
The OSD GUI is fabulous and very pleasing to the eye. Pandora, Slacker, vTuner, and DLNA features are very attractive for my likes and probably will use them the most, among another ‘Internet’ features. Connecting my Wii, PS3, HTPC, Cable box, and Asus media player was really easy. I use banana clips for speakers as well as being very easy to connect. I utilize a Velodyne powered subwoofer, NHT ones just for fronts, and Infinity Quadrapoles for revolve around back. The TX-NR609 was out of your box and connected in 15 or so minutes. The first time I powered them up and heard the sound, I was pretty pleased with the result. I am yet to implement Audyssey to setup my speakers but already much like the sound even before configuring. They have taken out the Audyssey MultiEQ and provided just the 2EQ we am fine with but some people will possibly not like that.
I miss the HD Radio i always started getting used to on your Denon. I hate the idea that I need to spend another $100+ on a Onkyo UP-HT1 HD Radio Tuner to utilise the HD radio feature on all the receiver. This is lame.
The Qdeo video processing is something else. It does an excellent job and also 1080p picture on my Samsung UN55B8500 55-Inch 1080p 240 Hz ENCOURAGED HDTV looks amazing. All my components are power conditioned because of the Monster Home Theatre Reference HTS 2600 MKII PowerCenter by using Clean Power Stage 2 v. 2. 1 10.
Onkyo has made some improvements on the NR609 when compared to predecessors. There is a fan ahead for additional cooling. Seems like Onkyo has finally heard the complaints with the previous owners of over heating receivers. Caused by Onkyo, for adding this extra fan. The remote is very well laid out and user-friendly and uncomplicated. The THX Music and Cinema setting both work effectively for my sources.
I highly recommend this Onkyo TX-NR609 for anyone looking for a fairly priced mid-range AV receiver.
4/5/2011 - The HDMI through weren’t turned on by default. I been required to go into Hardware Setup and turn on “HDMI Control” which also sets “Audio Television set Out” to auto and “HDMI Through” to make sure you on.
There is also additional choices setting for HDMI Through. You hold the options to either set HDMI Through to, ‘Off’ (Default), ‘Auto detect’, ‘Last base selected’ and specific HDMI ‘Input jack’. (previous 60x unit only offers Last source).
