I’m running Polk Audio 8″ 2-way bookshelves in front and ceiling mounted JBL satellites for center and rear rolled off <200Hz. After spending a lifetime reading tech manuals, I didn’t want to do that to watch a movie in 5.1. The other 2 competitors were far too complicated. This is the only unit of the 3 I reviewed that has quick treble, dialog and bass touch controls on the front of the unit AND on the remote! Then you can walk through the various settings to adjust to your room - I’m a recording engineer and like to do this manually (it does have the auto-sensing mic). If you use optical link, the front unit display is adequate for settings. This unit allows full control to raise the center channel and tamp down the front channel. Movie dialog can be a problem with surround sound. I compared this TX-SR393 to 2 other major brands and this was the only one that has actual volume settings for EACH channel. This unit replaced a 27 yr old Sony Dolby Surround 5.1 receiver. * Savings will appear in your cart upon the addition of the M-5010 Get $50 off when you add the M-5010 two-channel receiver to any Onkyo AVR purchase and take your system to the next level!*

Or just sit back and stream from apps via Bluetooth® technology and let Advanced Music Optimizer™ enrich every note of the golden Onkyo sound. There’s even a Zone B line-out to distribute all your home theater sources to a component with an analog RCA line in, such as a wireless headphone dock or hi-fi system. The receiver integrates your players and TV and adds practical features such as Vocal Enhancer for clear dialog. If all this tech sounds scary, relax: every aspect of this product is designed to erase frustration, from the automated AccuEQ system calibration to quick connection guide. For true-to-life video, the AVR supports 4K/60p and HDR video passthrough. Whatever way you play it, dynamic power is ready to thrill thanks to authentic high-current analog amps backed by a thumping custom transformer.
