    What to buy - Onkyo 606 vs. Pioneer 1018 vs Denon 1908/09 vs ???

    I believe you'd be able to do that except that you'll also need to hook up your DVD player to your receiver using component cable. You can't really "down-convert" from HDMI to component.

    onkyo Tx sv828THX

    I think you might be able to find an adaptor to connect DB25 to 6 RCA connectors. Google on "DB25 to 6 RCA". Then you should be able to connect your Onkyo to any pre-amp or receiver with 5.1 preout. Actually Onkyo sells one with 8 RCA outputs. You can probably just ignore the 2 channels not...

    Onkyo TX-SR605 Receiver?

    Yes, that'll work. You'll just need to hook up both HDMI and component video cables from A3 to the receiver and assign the proper HDMI and component to the same input you select on the receiver (DVD, for example). I have both the 605 and A3. While I do use hdmi to connect to my TV, I tried...

    Help with new receiver

    Welcome to the forum! I guess the question to ask yourself is whether any of the receivers you listed has all the features you need. Sure you can always save more, but there will always be better receivers out there for more money. With that being said, the Onkyo 875 would be a great...

    Receiver Advice Requested

    First of all, welcome to the forum! Among your options, Onkyo 605 would be a great pick. It has a lot of features packed in for the money. If you look around, you can probably find it for under $400 shipped. If you do not mind factory refurbished, you can actually get it for about $300. It is...

    Subwoofer hookup to TX-SR504S questions

    You want to use your Onkyo to manage the bass and bypass the crossover on the sub. You do not need to use the speaker level input. That's for connecting to receivers without sub out or pre-out. You can ignore the filter setting on ES-8 if you bypass the crossover on the sub. Finally you...

    THX Certified Receiver <$300

    If you must have a THX logo on your receiver, your best bet for less than $300 is probably a used Pioneer VSX-1014 or 1015. I own a 1014 and it is a heck of a receiver for the money.

    A refurb'd Onkyo 603 for $219.00?

    Excellent deal, indeed. Last year I bought the previous model (602) at around the same price from ecost. It came in looking brand new other than a "Refurbished" label on the back.

    It has all binding posts. You can download the owner's manual from Panasonic: http://service.us.panasonic.com/OPERMANPDF/SAXR57.PDF I own the prior year's model, SA-XR55. Its performance far exceeds my expectation for its price.

    Onkyo 702 vs 703

    Take a look at http://www.thx.com/mod/products/select2.html Another difference is that 702 weighs 3.7 lbs more than 703. If XM radio is of no concern, I'd be putting my money where the mass is. ;)
