 Video issue - Clips black, at below black. November 28, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I've had experience with this receiver for 2 months.
Recently, I noticed an issue with video. Very minor, however I thought something wasn't right. I've calibrated my setup many times over the years, so I thought maybe settings had drifted. Skipping ahead, I recently popped in a calibration DVD, and sure enough, there were no "below black" bars on a sample pattern.
Turns out, a few weeks ago, another web site reviewed this receiver, and noticed the same issue. I just found out about that today.
Now, if this issue happened when I was letting the Receiver upconvert, or similar, I'd have no issue with it, and just take it as a quirk of the upconversion. It wouldn't matter to me much anyway, as the only thing I'd have it upconvert may be a SVHS machine.
This TX-SR806 clips black when HDMI is set to THROUGH. When I think of through, I think the signal is, well, "passing through" the receiver, without any alteration.
From what I've noticed, this problem may be here to stay.
I suggest, if you are looking to spend this much for a receiver, and video issues such as this bother you, save a bit more money and try the 876. I've not personally played with that model, however I've been todl that it doesn't refuse to show, "Blacker than black".
I'm told the 805 is also a nice receiver.

Audio - Excellent, no complaints there, other than this receiver does not include MuliEQ XT, and only MultiEQ.

I'd give this 5 stars if it weren't for an option that CANNOT BE ADJUSTED, Clipping black.

 This thing rocks November 27, 2008

Monitor: 56" Samsung DLP (780p Native Resolution, 1 HDCP enabled DVI input only)
Speakers: Front - Tannoy, concentric drivers. Trust me these are legendary.
Surround: Can't recall, they are good. Sub is a 2k Martin Logan.
Replaced: Nakamichi 1aZ. About 7 years old. Great for its time.Still amazing for Stereo. And have Krell/Martin Logan stuff.
Replaced: Oppo Digital HDMI Video Switcher
Sources: DirecTV HR21, PS3 (BluRay mostly and NO BUZZING), Oppo Digital 980H, Some JVC VHS machine with an S-Video out.
1) For the first time in my life I'm running all the video thru an AV Amplifier. The video quality on all sources is an improvement over the Oppo Switcher which was a great machine. There's review out there trashing this machine's HDMI output and it's BULL. Don't buy it. You'll see an improvement.
2) The Audissey automatic setup is Amazing. I'm finally hearing seamless surround sound worthy of the money I put into good speakers. Let's face it, only a computer can do THX etc. correctly.
Have fun!
Performs great, but runs HOT November 26, 2008

I bought this a few days ago, and was completely impressed by the quality of the sound. The automatic speaker setup was a breeze, and the manual does a good job of explaining the complex procedure of assigning inputs to different components.
Negative: This thing is HOT. I mean scorching hot. I'm going to get a new equipment stand with more ventilation. I'm actually worried to put anything near it.
Also, the remote STINKS. I had to keep going back to the top rows of buttons to select a component, then back to select "receiver," etc. It should have a dedicated "menu" button for the receiver. Also, although it will control TiVo and all my other equipment, there just aren't buttons on the remote for all the TiVo buttons. I am SO happy that I have a Logitech Harmony 880 because that made all the difference!
It is very complicated with all the different sound options, so let it choose one automatically, and it will do a super job of that.
best receiver ive ever owned November 22, 2008
THE VIDEO PROCESSING ENGINE MAKES MY 1080I PLASMA LOOK LIKE 1080P RES. THE SOUND PROSSESING IS PHENOMINAL BY FAR THE BEST THEATER RECEIVER IVE EVER OWNED FOR THE MONEY. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Works for Me November 22, 2008
I am definitely not smart enough to use all the capabilities yet but I am totally happy with the sound. I replaced a 30 year old Onkyo amplifier and reciever with this system. Onkyo is the best buy for the money.
