Pros: #1 for me would be, Dolby Atmos and DTS Neural:X both work in Windows 10!!! I was nervous when another user said it didn't work. Setting up on Windows 10 was a little time consuming, because I had to basically play around with a bunch of settings, but none the less it WORKS!! Has Treble and Bass adjustments along with VOICE. Voice adjustments is a must have, I can hear people talking clearly now, unlike the last receiver(I had to adjust the EQ). Easy to setup receiver with onscreen displays. The setup mic makes things easier. If I don't turn on the Receiver, my PC defaults to my tv speakers!! This is a must, the bass for certain exercise YouTube videos is deep and wouldn't want to wake the entire house in the morning. Has an audio select button to select my onboard sound card(rca input) or my graphics card(HDMI input)! Finally found this small button on the lower half of the remote (took me a minute, but it's there). Sounds like a movie theater with my 5.1.2 setup and Dayon B652 speakers and 10" sub. I am completely dumb founded. My son and his friend blew up my Yamaha RX-V373 5.1, I have to tell you, what a complete difference with this receiver, it's like night and day....and I acutally thought the Yamaha sounded great. I can't read the small display on the receiver so the info button on the remote is a help. Push info button and as indicated in the pic a popup occurs in the lower rt hand corner displaying the sound format. Blurays are also flawless as figured. Has a feature to cap off at a certain max volume. Sorry son, no more blowin up my speakers. The sound is clear and loud. I haven't had the volume over 65 yet, that is way too loud. Between 30-50 for my small 15 x 15 area. I can't imagine going up to 75 let along 100, something would definately blow?? I absolutely couldn't be happier!! Negative: Too much bass :) Will get warm when playing heavy stuff, I wonder if I can add a usb fan with that usb port in the back of the receiver?

I actually downgraded from really nice and powerful Onkyo 1080P AV Receiver to this unit to have the ability to process my 4K video components. Although this unit is not as powerful (just slightly less) as the unit I had, it's puts out a good clean sound. It has all of the Dolby / DTS, etc. modes that I care to use and works great in 5.1 and 7.1. What I really like is the ability to adjust the Bass, Treble and Mid via controls on the front of the receiver and the remote control without having to go into an EQ menu every-time. The setup is very basic, but has all of the essential speaker configurations, input label customization's, and more, however it's not as pretty, and robust as the setup of my previous and more expensive Onkyo receiver. Bottom line- I highly recommend this for someone who is looking for 4K AV, good clean sound, customizable, and easy to configure and use receiver without breaking the bank. I'm a big fan of Onkyo and would suggest looking at the higher end models if they are in your budget. If not, this is the receiver for you.

I bought this receiver and a Klipsch “theater in a box,” 5.1 speaker pack about a year ago. I have a separate review for the speakers so I’ll just talk about the receiver itself here. Pros: Sound quality is pretty damn good for the money. If you’re watching a lot of movies I’m not aware of any other receiver at this price point that will get you Atmos-equipped/offer up to 5.1.2 or 7.1 speaker complements. Setup is pretty easy too, if you’ve owned a wired receiver-based system before. You might also decide to use the AccuEQ setup with the included microphone in terms of initial setup. I tried it and found it to be a good starting point with some minor adjustments after the fact. I’ll also say there’s enough inputs of various types here to use a wide variety of audio sources, although no dedicated phono input so if you plan to use a record player you’ll need to either get a separate preamp or buy one with a built-in preamp. I also really like that you can rename the inputs to your liking, definitely cool. Cons: Having said that, there some minor niggles I have here - but none are detrimental. I’m satisfied with this receiver but there some features I don’t quite get. From the quick menu function on the remote you can individually adjust the volume for the front speakers, center speaker and subwoofer - but not for whatever surrounds you’re using. These speakers CAN be individually adjusted for volume in the more extensive menus but only by doing a sound test where the receiver emits white noise through each speaker one at a time. So adjusting the rears or height speakers is pretty much like redoing the whole setup. If you’re watching a movie or listening to music and you want to adjust the fronts, center, or sub - that’s easy. You can do it while your music rocks on. But if you feel like you want a little bump for the rears you can’t adjust these while listening to the actual source. You can only do it with white noise. Makes no sense. The remote isn’t laid out particularly well, but you get used to it. Bluetooth: the Bluetooth connection is under-powered. You can boost the input signal of it, but it’ll get noisy if you do. Also the connection can drop sometimes and my phone was in the habit of “forgetting” this device every now and then. If you’re planning to use a record player and you need a pre-amp anyway, do what I did and grab a Fosi Audio Box X3, which is a tube-powered phono preamp with Bluetooth receiver function - boom huge upgrade in quality and function. So yeah, this is a budget receiver with some quirks, but like the Millennium Falcon she’s got it where it counts. The sound quality is great and many of the features are extremely useful. I would definitely recommend it for someone who wants quality sound but doesn’t want to overpay.

Unless you have many devices this is all you need. I replaced an older Onkyo unit with this. The older unit was a higher end unit, full of inputs that were never put to use. For 4 HDMI devices, this is perfect. Once you get the Atmos or DTS-HDMA going, the sound quality from this unit is perfect. Literally, better than the best movie theaters. The only drawback is the Bluetooth audio is a bit lacking in sound quality. But if you’re not streaming music and, instead, play CD’s and high quality source material, the sound is the same as you get from the high end Onkyo units, because it has the same 32 bit sound processor, minus the wi-fi and network features. I’m using this only for Blu-Ray, cable and 2 gaming consoles. I rarely play music in the house and will hardly ever stream music. If you are looking for a high quality home theater sound system that is really only going to be used as a home theater system with 4 or 5 devices, this is it. The HDMI ARC works perfectly and if your TV can pass HD sound, you will actually be able to hook 5, 6 or 7 devices to this, depending on your TV’s inputs. It has 4K upscaling from 1080p, which does work very good. The HDMI pass through on standby works perfectly, but the CEC features are bogus. The CEC standard is still not a standard and runs into problems, but it’s probably not this unit that’s the problem it’s just that there are device conflicts because it’s too new and not standard. This is a perfect Atmos unit for anyone that doesn’t have a bunch of old audio devices. Realistically, who does now a days?

This was my 2nd Onkyo they are pretty good recievers this one had bluetooth and was pretty much all I needed. It worked flawless for 35 days. Now it does not recognize my cable box "says unknown" and will not output audio. I connect through blue tooth, no audio out. My play station, no audio out. My cable box and play station display video but the output for audio via HDMI is missing in action. I feel like I may have paid full price on a rehabbed unit. I usually get insurance to protect myself from that and was surprised to see my transaction says I did not opt for the extra warranty when I always do via online amazon transaction.

Cut to the chase: this affordable unit can produce Dolby Atmos with older, conventional speakers (maybe fewer speakers, but we used five plus a base unit, ie 5.1). The tiny blue light will come on to show this when everything is set up correctly for Atmos, but there are a number of steps necessary to accomplish this. If you have a US model and, more importantly, the serial number has the letter “B” before it on the back of the unit, then you do not need to update the firmware, nor can you. Don’t even try; it is a waste of time. Primer for getting Atmos: you need this tuner correctly set up and a source that supports Atmos. For the tuner, you will need HDMI 2.0 or better cable for the source connection. Optical will not support Dolby Atmos. For example of the source, on Amazon Prime, season 4 of Jack Ryan shows the Atmos icon in the general specifications (info) screen. At least on Amazon Prime, newer content one would expect to have Atmos will not unless the Dolby Atmos logo is seen. Important: With Atmos content playing, you must have the unit Input Format, and Listening Mode set to Atmos. There is an A/B zone button on the remote that has three modes: A, B, or AB. The receiver must show A (not B or AB) for the audio output destination. With it set to A, you can now toggle the listening formats/modes (see page 59 of the manual), which include Atmos. If not set to the zone A, trying to toggle the listening mode will show “not available.” You will never get Atmos! Some reviewers say they never get Atmos; the setting of this AB zone switch may be the issue. The manual doesn’t state any of this, we only found this by trial and error and trying all kinds of button combinations on the remote. Since the display on the receiver is pretty tiny, be sure the audio output destination is set to A (see page 10 of the manual), and then try toggling through Movie/TV modes (see photo). When getting the Atmos signal, the tiny blue light will be on throughout the show.

Solid AVR with great features and excellent sound quality. Mine drives a 5.1 setup with the fantastic Elac B6.2 as mains plus stereo in zone B. At this price you won't get the lastest HDMI specs, 8k, or networking. But if you don't need those things buy this one. Along with others, I've found HDMI a mixed blessing. My preference is to maintain separate control of the TV and AVR. But, if you cancel CEC then you get no sound from the TV. Whether a TV or AVR aberration I don't know - HDMI standards appear to fluctuate across TV and AVR brands. But, I've learned to live with it. If you want to skip the headaches choose the optical connection instead.

This receiver was a replacement to my Onkyo 606 that had burned out hdmi ports. I was originally worried if the drop from 90 watts per channel to 80 would make a difference. When I first hooked up the 494 I was disappointed and wanted to reinstall the 606, but after the calibration I was surprisingly satisfied with the sound from the 494 and never looked back. All of the new options are great. I love the fact that it has CEC which switches output if I push a button on my firestick, directv or bluray remote automatically. I setup the receiver to 5.1.2 using Dolby Atmos and enjoy the sound. I had to call customer service to figure out how to set it up. My 4k bluray player had to be set to bitstream uncompressed and the speaker setup on the receiver had to be set to 5.1.2. Now when I insert a Dolby Atmos compatible disc it automatically will say Atmos on the receiver screen once I hit play on the movie. The bluetooth feature works great to play music using amazon music on my phone with no delays. The range of the bluetooth is amazing because my receiver is in the basement and I can be upstairs and still control it. Overall I am pleased with my purchase.
