| scotlee13's Full Review: Onkyo TX-SR600 6.1 Channels Receiver |
I bought this largely for the price and my experience with Onkyo equipment in the past, and for the most part was very pleased with the options and performance until recently. I've had my unit since Aug. '02, and in Oct.'03 the Video 1 stopped working entirely for no apparent reason. I worked around that by switching that component to the V4 inputs, but then about 2 weeks ago the remote sensor stopped working. This is a serious pain in the butt, since I have the entire theatre system wired through the reciever. It is still under the standard Onkyo 2-year warranty, but I have to ship the thing to Utah to be worked on...not cheap to do from Alaska, not to mention I'll be without HT for probably at least a month. All of that being said, it simply shouldn't have various components randomly stop working after little more then a year of use.
Up until these problems, however, I loved it...sounds great, lots of inputs, plenty of power for the average room, and a decent price. Hopefully it won't cost me too much to fix.
