CNET editors' blog post

By Matthew Moskovciak, 03/12/09

The Onkyo TX-SR607 is the first AV receiver we've seen with a front panel HDMI input.

Sony and Yamaha have announced their midrange AV receiver lines, and today Onkyo announced three new AV receivers ranging in price from $300 to $600. The biggest news is that the new TX-SR607 ($600) will be the first receiver to feature Dolby ProLogic IIz sound processing, which can expand existing 7.1 soundtracks to 9.1, routing some of the audio to "front high speakers" which are positioned above your standard front speakers. Let's take a look at how all three models compare:

Onkyo TX-SR607

Key step-up features of the Onkyo TX-SR607:

Dolby ProLogic IIz sound processing is the TX-SR607's most touted feature in the news release, but we're guessing this won't be a huge draw for most buyers who already feel like a 5.1 system involves too many speakers and wires. On the other hand, six HDMI inputs--more than any other receiver at this price range--seems much more important to us now that almost every video component uses the connection. Some users will certainly complain about one of the inputs being on the front panel, but it's not a bad idea now that so many camcorders use HDMI as well.

Like Sony's and Yamaha's receivers, you'll notice that the new Onkyos no longer feature S-Video inputs. More surprisingly, you'll also notice that none of the new receivers feature multichannel analog audio inputs, which seems to be the next connection type that manufacturers are dropping from receivers.

Is Dolby ProLogic IIz something you'd be interested in? Or is it just another way to get you to buy more speakers? Let us know what you think in the comments.

Manufacturer: Onkyo USA Corporation
Part number: TX-SR307/B
Description: In budget-conscious times such as these, Onkyo's track record of value for money is more relevant than ever. Now, with the TX-SR307 home theater receiver, Onkyo brings unprecedented levels of performance and connectivity to the entry level. On the video side, the TX-SR307 can receive up to three 1080p resolution video sources via HDMI - think Blu-ray Disc, PlayStation, and HD broadcasts - and send pristine video to your compatible high-definition display. When it comes to audio, a suite of Audyssey technologies work to match the sound output to your listening space. The TX-SR307 even makes friendly with your iPod or other MP3 player, via a frontpanel input. All those compressed audio files will sound far better thanks to onboard Music Optimizer technology. Rounding out this versatile system are four gaming modes that allow you to customize the audio to your chosen game type.
