 Great receiver for the price September 24, 2008

I purchased this receiver for a mid-range 5.1 home theater setup. After some research online, through audio/HT review sites and forums, this was the unit I settled on. I've used Yamaha's in the past, and found that this unit provides great bang for your buck. However, the receiver only provides two HDMI ports, so I bought a 1.3a compatible switch.
Installation and setup is a breeze, although the automatic system is a little confusing at first (if you don't read the manual). Take a peek at the manual and you should have no problems. The Audessy setup correctly sets your speaker distance/delay and is a nice feature- it'll let you know when your speakers aren't hooked up correctly. Some reviewers have complained that the Audessy feature did not work. It is likely that they plugged the side speakers into the rear channels, which will cause the setup to not work.
Nevertheless, this is one of the top receivers you can get in this class. Don't expect a $3,000.00 receiver. But, those wanting many features and nice sound for a good price, look no further.
Oh wow! Is this thing incredible! September 12, 2008

Quality 7.1 speakers set up - check
Big LCD TV - check
DVD - check
Hi-Def - check
game console - check
Get all your audio/video input devices, plug them all into the Onkyo 605 receiver, and it's only one tiny HDMI cable to the TV. Sweet!
It upscales to HD format fairly well (not perfect HD quality, but not bad at all). The sound is amazing! Also, once you get your speakers set up, go through the automated program that tunes your speaker setup. Just plug in the microphone, and the receiver does the rest by figuring out the sound qualities of your room and speaker set up. After that, the sound quality was fantastic!
 Good but not great August 19, 2008

I bought my TX-SR605 about a year ago. I also loved it until last week when my hdmi inputs stopped working. I contacted Onkyo regarding warranty work but they were very specific that the receiver would have to be sent in its original package, which i did not have any longer. So now I am stuck with a receiver that has no working hdmi inputs or outputs. No working hdmi ports means no HD sound. So now I'm back to just having a regular receiver. Do not buy this receiver. Personally I would have bought a Sony like I have in the past. I bought this receiver because they were the first on the market to offer the new HD sound formats.
Simply awesome!!! June 30, 2008

First of all, I bought this unit at a price of a "steal"!!! Here in the Philippines, 605s are sold at USD800 (considering that they are made in Malaysia, a neighbor country of Phils.)i wouldnt mind paying for another USD200 for shipment & tax.
When im done setting up with my PS3, upconverting DVD, and set of Wharfedale diamond 9.5,9cs,9.1 & 9DFS, I am not happy with the sound i'm hearing. The sound dont have much difference from my previous set-up (onkyo 494)& im a bit frustated.
I've read the manual & decided to run the audyssey, but still audyssey didnt give me the sound im expecting to hear from my new system. Audyssey set my system's speakers at full band with subwoofer.
I went to AV forums and lurk there looking for answers. I came across a thread that tells me to adjust the crossover settings at 80hz after running the audyssey which I did. I tried playing Susan Wongs audiophile CD & WOW!!! I cant believe what im listening!!! Clear, balance sound & made my speakers sing with sweet melody. This is an awesome product!!!
