I purchased this receiver to replace a Panasonic BlueRay 7.1 Surround System which no longer plays most new BluRays because Panasonic stopped providing firmware updates in 2013. The Panasonic did not decode DTS 7.1 from an external source. I love that the Onkyo Receiver will handle multiple HDMI inputs from various sources including BluRay, a streaming device such as Apple TV, Gaming systems, and Satellite/Cable. The receiver works perfectly taking the video inputs and decodes the various formats such as DTS and Dolby Digital and sending the video to my 55" HD TV. The amplifier has plenty of power to the 7 speakers and the signal to my powered subwoofer. The Receiver was easy to set up using the manual which I easily found online. I couldn't be happier and more satisfied.

When my older Onkyo HT receiver finally died (6 yrs) I decided to get a new Onkyo receiver to go with the speakers from the dead receiver rather than buy another whole system. Unfortunately the impedance doesn't match between the two components. Old system 6 ohm, new 8 ohm. I was lead to believe that the new system would work with both impedances. Two problems arose, first I'm having to crank up the volume to compensate (especially for dialog), about twice as much as the old setup. When an action sequence happens the volume is way too freaking high, so you're constantly adjusting the volume. PITA. The second problem is that the mid-tone sounds seem to be coming from inside a cardboard box. The tonal adjustments on the receiver are primitive at best. I'm not sure if I can attribute this change in sound quality to the new receiver or the difference in speaker impedance. If the sound were clearer I would give it a higher rating. The instruction manual that comes with it will barely get you going so the advanced manual needs to be downloaded to get info on how to best use the system. There are lot of preloaded sound environments to choose from for your enjoyment. Make sure to use the set-up mic to get the speakers tuned to the room. It takes only a few minutes to go through the procedure and is well worth it in the long run. Depending on how many components you wish to connect to it it can be a breeze or a spaghetti nightmare. Choose your sauce carefully and by all means use the Parmesan liberally. The volume control is prominent on the front in case you're not sure which one it is. They should place it on the remote as a marketing feature. Considering where it's made, Malaysia (not Japan), it's on the high side price wise but then you're paying for the brand name profit margin. Big surprise...they all do it.Read full review

This replaced a much older onkyo receiver with less features but great sound, also this receiver supports 4k UHD HDR10 with my tv, it has most if not all newer Dolby decoders such as atmos, and most DTS decoders as well, just too bad it did not come with DTS X but then again that's basically just a DTS version of Dolby atmos. It features built in bluetooth connect for using bluetooth devices to play audio from this unit. 7.1 surround sound that sounds just as good and vibrant as my old receiver so I am not missing any sound clarity.

Replacing my SR804 only because of 4K, I love my SR804 and it's sound the new SR444 seems very good as well, and probably will sound the same after I figure out the adjustment. I am so far not happy with the auto set-up with the mic, but I'll get there. My biggest disappointment is that the new SR444 does not have the 2 option plug ins for the DVR and the CD units electrically.

After weeks of research of many models ( HK, Denon, Sony) I bought this one and I couldn't be happier! The sound is astounding! It's really easy to set up. And goes so loud that it can make your ears ring! I love this receiver!
