Much much better than I expected!

I can't quite express how pleased I am with this AVR (TX RZ 810). It is much better than expected. It replaces an Onkyo TX NR 709 vintage 2011. I was pleased with the old unit until it started loosing audio and network connectivity apparently through the DTS/Dolby board. Once the problem occurred, it took me literally 20 minutes to find a lot of others having the same problem. Onkyo is extending the warranty on this and similar products through the end of 2018. Some people had their AVRs sent in for repair by Onkyo. By the time I got to the offer, Onkyo was simply offering a $200 rebate on the purchase of a new Onkyo unit. By buying "last year's model" the cost was roughly $300. Our home theatre is a 5.1 setup with Martin Logan Aeons in the front (bi-amped), Martin Logan Motion 8 center, M/L Motion 4 surrounds and a M/L Dynamo 700 sub. Video display is through a Sharp Aquos/Quatron 80 inch flat screen. We stream video with a Kindle Fire box/dongle and play iTunes for Windows music on an ancient dual core PC With all cables carefully labeled, hook up took roughly an hour in crampt quarters Set-up and room EQ was easy because I had read and viewed on-line materials I think the UI on the 810 is a bit more straightforward than the old 709. I experienced no difficulty with video passthrough from the old PC or Fire TV Box. Then, there's the sound. I was concerned about AccuEQ but in reality, had little to fear. Sound processing is similar (in name) to the TX NR 709. The actual sound is way better. The front speakers clearly predominate. The surround sound adds to the experience without wiping out the beauty of the M/L electrostatics. The subwoofer thumps deeper and more precisely than with the old receiver. So far, I've listened to Russ Freeman & the Rippingtons, some Begie Adair and some Frank Sinatra. Everything sounds better. Now, I just hope I can get the $200 rebate from Onkyo If I don't, I'll let you know!

A Beast Of A Receiver

Holy cow, this thing is a beast! Prior to finding this Onkyo on Amazon, I had an ill-fated attempt to swap our dead Denon receiver for a new Sony receiver that had received tons of positive reviews. However, the Sony didn’t cut it for us, and I went back to the drawing board. I’m so glad I found this Onkyo. The RZ810 really is an amazing receiver. First, you should know the RZ line of receivers by Onkyo is their top line for a/v devices. The company also produces a “regular” line of receivers sold under the NR nomenclature. The RZ810 was near the top of the premium line when it was released, but Onkyo has continued to push the line upward, and now there are several truly high-end models. The RZ810 was a very strong high mid-tier model. You can tell from the box that Onkyo meant for this receiver to be taken seriously. It is big and heavy compared to most other receivers. It dwarfed the Sony I mentioned above. Taking the RZ810 out of the box only enhances the view that this is a premium device. The entire front panel is aluminum, with no plastic to be found. That gives a solid feel even to the door that flips down revealing additional controls and ports. The legs have a premium look to them and were specifically designed for the RZ line. The high-end vibe also carries through to the internals. Onkyo starts with a premium 32-bit/384kHz digital-to-analog converter that faithfully renders music, TV, and movie soundtracks. The RZ810’s Dynamic Audio Amplification delivers plenty of power with very little distortion. Due in part to the Phase-matching Bass Enhancement, you will hear and feel a deep rumble when appropriate; our subwoofer has come alive like never before. On top of all that, Onkyo includes a strong 3-year warranty on the RZ line, demonstrating their believe in the quality of what they’ve built. Some specs from Onkyo: Power Section Power Output (All channels) 200 W/Ch (6 Ohms, 1 kHz, 0.9% THD, 1 Channel Driven, FTC) 130 W/Ch (8 Ohms, 20 Hz–20 kHz, 0.08% THD, 2 Channels Driven, FTC) Dynamic Power 300 W (3 Ohms, Front) 250 W (4 Ohms, Front) 150 W (8 Ohms, Front) THD+N (Total Harmonic Distortion + Noise) 0.08% (20 Hz–20 kHz, Half Power) Input Sensitivity and Impedance 200 mV/47 k-ohms (Line)3.5 mV/47 k-ohms (Phono MM) Rated RCA Output Level and Impedance 1.0 V/470 Ohms (Pre Out) 1.0 V/470 Ohms (Subwoofer Pre Out) 200 mV/2.3 k-ohms (Zone Out) 2.0 V/2.3 k-ohms (Zone Pre Out) Phono Overload 70 mV (MM, 1 kHz, 0.5%) Frequency Response 5 Hz–100 kHz/+1 dB, -3 dB (Direct/Pure Audio) Tone Control ±10 dB, 90 Hz (Bass) ±10 dB, 7.5 kHz (Treble) Signal-to-Noise Ratio 106 dB (Line, IHF-A) 80 dB (Phono, IHF-A) Speaker Impedance 6 ohms–16 ohms Video Section Video 1.0 Vp–p/75 Ohms (Component Y) 0.7 Vp–p/75 Ohms (Component PB/CB, PR/CR) 1.0 Vp–p/75 Ohms (Composite) Component Video Frequency Response 5 Hz–100 MHz/+0 dB, -3 dB Tuner Section Tuning Frequency Range FM 87.5 MHz–1070.9 MHz AM 530 kHz–1,710 kHz FM/AM Preset Memory 40 stations General Power Supply AC 120 V~, 60 Hz Power Consumption 650 W Standby Power Consumption 0.1 W Dimensions (W x H x D) 17 1/8″ x 7 15/16″ x 15 9/16″ (435 x 201.5 x 395 mm) Weight 30.9 lbs (14.0 kg) If you look at the pictures, you can see you have plenty of connectivity on the back of the receiver. Not only do you have 2 zones, you have 3 zones and a ton of HDMI connections. I should note, only the first three HDMI ports can handle HDR and Dolby Atmos. If you have more than three devices that output those formats, you may want to upgrade to the more recent Onkyo TX-RZ820, but that’s virtually the only difference between the two receivers – other than about $800 in current prices. The RZ810 connects quickly and easily to WiFi and Bluetooth. The Chromecast function works well, although it’s not quite as polished as the version found in the Sony. The remote is pretty standard but functional. Note, you can also use the Onkyo Controller App on your smartphone or tablet to control the receiver. Interestingly, many things (such as zone controls) are simply quicker and easier via the app. At the end of the day, the big question for a receiver is how well it processes signals and outputs them. In that regard, this is the best receiver I’ve ever used. Sound quality is extraordinary, and not just stuff like the THX Select2 certification for movies that gives you a great directional soundfield. Across the board, music and movies sound clear but rich and full. The bass booms and the subwoofer thumps like never before. The highs are pitch perfect. The mids are clear. The sound is superbly balanced between the speakers to fill the room. Even the video on the television seems brighter and richer. The RZ810 had an original MSRP of $1400, but since it was a 2016 model and the new RZ820 replaced it in 2018, the RZ810 can be found now at roughly a 60% discount, which makes it a terrific value. In case you can’t tell, I think the RZ810 a superb a/v receiver. If you need a receiver and can live with “only” three HDMI ports supporting HDR and Atmos, I highly recommend the Onkyo TX-RZ810.

Melt your face

I bought this receiver about 2 weeks ago and it is no joke. I mainly chose this model for the wattage per channel and dedicated phono input as well as gaming and surround for movies. I have 2 tsi500 polks for mains. A Polk 10" powered sub, and12" powered sub , Polk cs10 center and 2 older bookshelf Bose series 2 for sides. It did take quite a bit of adjusting to get it right for my ear but this thing truly rocks! Clean power at really high volume and I mean ear ringing volume. I also like the fact that it has music sound selector for different speaker engagements and preset eq " which can be adjusted". Summary. Tons of features and real power. My movies and music got way better

Excellent performance and value

After the audio circuit died on my seven year old Pioneer Elite receiver (no love lost there), I did some research and landed on the RZ810. Having been superseded by the RZ820, the RZ810 is a great value at its current price. A/V performance is fantastic. I switch six HDMI sources and have yet to experience a single hiccup. I listen to two-channel audio (HDMI and analog) about as often as watching TV and movies, and this unit doesn't disappoint. It even has a good old fashioned bass/treble knob on the front panel. Overall I appreciate that the receiver does its job unobtrusively and does it very well. On screen setup is intuitive, front panel is clean, the included remote doesn't have a hundred tiny buttons with tiny fonts, and I've never had to cycle sources or power to resolve HDMI issues. The only negative is that both the construction and movement of the volume knob feel pretty cheap. It looks fine though. Doesn't bother me since my system is controlled via Harmony remote, which controls this receiver perfectly.

AWESOMENESS

This is my first ever high quality system and for the price and service from Amazon I could not ask for better. I have done a lot of research and read a lot of reviews before buying this Onkyo Tx-RZ810. Even thou this was a 110V and in my country we use 240V I have taken the leap of faith and bought this Onkyo. I do have many words to describe my enjoyment but the first word on my mind is AWESOMENESS!

Moved up from my Yamaha when the HDMI port went out and 100% happy with this purchase

WOW! What a system! Moved up from my Yamaha when the HDMI port went out and 100% happy with this purchase. Sound quality is good, plenty of options for the speakers, self setting options for the speakers, just can’t say enough. The remote is small and makes sense. Not overly complicated to use. The option to connect WiFi and use Pandora when the TV isn’t on is a great option. Click that purchase button NOW!!

Very happy with my new AVR

This is my 4th Onkyo AVR and I am very happy with it. I was a twice a victim of the dreaded HDMI board failure but Onkyo made it right each time. Great customer service! This AVR was very easy to setup. The process seams to have simplified since my 807 and 818 receivers. I needed to do a little tweaking after running the new AccuEQ calibration, but that was also true of Adyssey. The sound while watching BluRay movies is very familiar to Onkyo fans. Music also sounds very good, as expected. I am running a 5.1.2 setup with high-front speakers and the configuration was very simple. Steaming Pandora music through ethernet comes up much faster than my old 818. I also like the Apple AirPlay for playing music from my iPhone. I highly recommend this AVR. After 30 days I have yet to find anything I don't like with it.

An awesome AV receiver experience.

I am so happy with this purchase! Took a while for me to choose an ideal replacement for my Onkyo TX-NR809 which served my household very well for about a good 5 years until it started having some frequent glitches (disappearing sound, subject to an Onkyo recall). To compare some key differences, the Onkyo TX-RZ810 features are a clear step up from the TX-NR809 in a number of ways (I'm mixing some researched features along with my observations here): -Better HDR/4K compatibility (the 809 can also do 4K upscaling via Marvell Qdeo™ but it was in its infancy.) -Slightly better video color reproduction. Contrasts are better with darker darks and non-hazy lights, at least on a Panasonic Viera. -Has Vector Linear Shaping Circuitry (VLSC) for better noiseless audio processing-registers clearer audio signals, especially from analog sources. Voices and some music sources are clearer. -Dolby Atmos and DTS:X surround sound ready - 3-dimension sound effects are significantly better, including signals that are supposed to come from rooftops. I can vouch for this (requires an appropriate Atmos speaker setup). -FireConnect Multi-Room Wireless Technology integrated. -Wireless Audio Streaming with Chromecast built-in, AirPlay, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth already integrated. Stream any music from your smartphone, laptop, or PC to the TX-RZ810 with ease. Control playback with Chrome. -Settings are slightly faster in response, more intuitive and simpler to figure out -Weight for TX-RZ810: 30.9 lbs vs. TX-NR809: 40.3 lbs. (about 9.4 lbs. lighter). To compare speaker wattage outputs (dictates speaker output with volume/power/current flow increase when you turn the volume dial. Higher Watts/Channel means volume is louder for the same volume setting) -TX-RZ810: * THX® Select2™ Plus Certified 130 W/Ch (8 Ohms, 20 Hz-20 kHz, 0.08% THD, 2 Channels Driven, FTC) and 200 W/Ch (6 Ohms, 1 kHz, 0.9% THD, 1 Channel Driven, FTC) from Custom RZ Grade Parts * Frequency Response: 5 Hz–100 kHz/+1 dB, -3 dB (Direct/Pure Audio) * 8 HDMI In (1 Front/7 Rear) w/ 2 HDMI Out (Main & Zone 2/Sub); 4K/60 Hz-Capable 4:4:4 w/ HDCP 2.2, HDR and BT.2020 for UltraHD and Full HD Video Content. Supports Audio Return Channel (ARC) VS.. -TX-NR809: * THX® Select2™ Plus Certified 135 W/Ch (8 Ohms, 20 Hz-20 kHz, 0.08%, 2 channels driven, FTC); 145 W/Ch (8 ohms, 1 kHz, 0.7%, 2 channels driven, FTC) * Frequency Response: 5 Hz–100 kHz/+1 dB, -3 dB (Direct Audio) * 8 HDMI Inputs and 2 Outputs with support for 3D and Audio Return Channel (ARC) The 2 specs comparisons show that the RZ810 is slightly underpowered under standard conditions, and I've noticed that when my volume settings require it being dialled a little higher to get the same counterpart volume range vs my NR809. The RZ810 however pumps more power/current on the center or front channel (depending on your setting) or will pump more power/current across all speakers when sound feeds quickly require it (e.g. movie exploSions, voice shouts, etc) and does it fairly smoothly so it's not painful to the ears. The RZ810 definitely is very responsive, sound is clearer and nuances more crisp vs NR809. Many outside reviews mull over the RZ810's propietary room sound calibration/correction software change from the NR809's Audyssey MultEQ™ to AccuEQ/AccuReflex to be a downturn, which, I think can be an audiophile's personal preference. In my experience, Audyssey MultEQ seemed to be more balanced and thorough, but way noisier and longer during calibration. AccuEQ/AccuReflex isn't really all that bad! Some audiophile reviews report that they still had to manually tweak their base frequencies via the equalizer, however I didn't have to. After calibration, my 5.1 and 7.1 setups with Definitive Technology speakers sounded fantastic! One thing I do still notice with both of my Onkyo receivers is that 1.) they can't effectively equalize volume variations (TV advertisements are still very loud vs. the actual shows I'm watching), 2.) base volume variations are observed on a day-to-day basis even if I don't change my volume setting. I'm hoping Onkyo will read this comment and have a solution to this concern. I am hoping for my TX-RZ810 to last me years of reliable entertainment. Altogether, this A/V receiver has so far been a worthwhile purchase and you will not regret having one.

Good UHD receiver, but not for everyone

Bought this for my old man during Amazon's summer cyber deal day to replace his Marantz that wasn't a true 4k receiver. As known now, you need an HDMI 2.0 / HDCP 2.2 capable receiver for UHD. This receiver only has 3 ports, so I personally don't recommend it unless you're only hooking up a couple of 4k devices like a UHD player and a 4k streaming device like a Roku. Gamers, run away! look to the Onkyo RZ820 which has 7 HDMI 2.0 ports. Ports aside, this receiver will be updated to use Dolby Vision and has most of the bells and whistles of the 2017 model, the RZ820. Onkyo apparently still has issues with the occasional faulty HDMI board though. A problem I was struck with on my own Onkyo TX-NR809 a few years ago (been good ever since it was repaired under warranty) My old man is very happy with the RZ810, so here's a full 5 stars.

Very impressed with Onkyo!

I just replaced my Denon AVR - 1913 in favor for this. I am an analog nut and have cassette, R2R and vinyl all hooked up to this. It is amazing how much not only my Blu-Ray/DVDs come to life, but also my analog sound. It has more than enough power to rock the house! I'm very pleased with this unit. The only gripe if any, is the USB port only on the back. They should have one on the front as well. Well worth the $$ though. A very solid amp for sure!
