 Great receiver for beginner audiophiles! April 27, 2009
J. Gomez (san antonio, tx)

Let me start by saying I did tons of research and settled on Onkyo because of the ease of setup, hdmi inputs and price. I initially thought I was going to get the sr606, but decided against it because it's a behemoth, the video upconversion didn't get good reviews, and I'm only going to use 5.1 surround sound. This receiver offers a lot of the same features as the 606 in a much smaller package. I paired it with Definitive Technology Procinema 600 5.1 surround system and it sounds great. Much better than my 10 yr old Sony receiver with sony and bose speakers.
Great reciever, easy setup, less cables July 22, 2009

Just got this TX-SR507 set up.
Here are some initial impressions. The setup is very easy and fast. Had all the connections complete in less than 15 minutes. Despite some misinformation out there this receiever is not HDMI passthrough for audio. Instead it has HDMI repeater technology. This is way way better than pass through. What this HDMI repeater technology allows you to do is to run a SINGLE HDMI cable from each source (cable box, blueray, dvd player, roku box, or any other device that has hdmi out) to the reciever (you can hook up all the items into this as its loaded with HDMI inputs. From the receiver you run a SINGLE HDMI cable to your TV. Meanwhile the audio is processed by the reciever and sent out to your surround sound system. No additional toslink or analog cables needed. This feature alone is worth the extra to buy this unit. If it was only HDMI passthrough you would need to run separate cables for your surround sound in addition to the HDMI to get your audio output from the reciever to your surround sound system. You can set up inputs on this receiver to pass the audio along to your TV but why would you want to do that.
Another great feature is the Audyssey speaker setup mic included. It measures several listening positions in the room and optimizes the audio output for each speaker in your system. This also is super easy to do and other than moving the included mic around and pushing the enter button on the remote you just sit back and let it do the rest.
I have this set up with a Martin Logan sub and Klipsch SL speaker system and it sounds great for both music and HT use. This blows away the out of the box HT systems although it costs a little more to get it all together.
This receiver does not disappoint and runs cooler than my old Sony receiver. I have read that some say the Onkyos run hot but not an issue for the 507. The only thing i wish this had was a satelite radio tuner built in but other than that it has everything needed to pull everything together. Price was very reasonable considering all the HDMI connectivity this unit has.
One thing i would recommend is getting a Harmony remote to add the icing on the cake. Nothing better than pushing one button to get any activity started without having to fumble through 3 or 4 remotes and then one button to shut all the components off when done.
Fantastic Replacement for HTiB April 27, 2009

I purchased this receiver along with the Energy Take Classic system to replace my seven year old Panasonic HTiB. The improvement is remarkable, although I'm sure much of the improvement is due to the new speakers. This receiver has plenty of inputs, supports audio over HDMI, and generates clean sounding audio. Basically this is everything I need. I love that it comes in a relatively compact package.
I know heat is a big issue for receivers in general. This one does not seem to have overheating issues. I've kept it on for several hours and it gets somewhat warm, but not hot to the touch. I have 2-3 inches of clearance on the top and it is pretty open on the sides and back.
Onkyo 507 can drive 4 ohm speakers! June 20, 2009
Kristin B. Macleod (Solana Beach, CA United States)

This is probably the cheapest, quality receiver that can strip out HDMI audio ( many hdmi receivers don't ). It has plenty of HDMI inputs and is very easy to setup. Something I had trouble finding out is if this would drive 4 ohm speakers. I recently bought some lsi15s on craigslist and they are 4 ohms and are notoriously hard to drive. After wasting some time on audiophile forums they kept trying to convince me that only after I had the double helix flux capacitor extreme amplifier ( only 3,999! ) I would actually "FEEL" the speakers or some other mumbo jumo. I decided to try it out myself.
The onkyo 507 did not disappoint. While I never listen at these absurd levels I stress tested it by cranking up the volume to 50 and playing classical for an hour ( this was loud enough that I had to step out and close the door). It got hot, but sound quality was sustained and it topped out at 50C I think. All onkyos get hot and driving 4 ohm speakers makes them even hotter, but they'll do it and they'll do it well.
Hopefully this helps anyone who is wondering if these will drive 4 ohm speakers even though they're not certified for it.
NOTE: DO NOT PLACE THE RECEIVER IN A CLOSED AREA. Onkyos do get hotter than other brands, make sure you have adequate ventilation.
Also; don't pay attention to watt ratings, an increase from 80 to 100 watts per channel is nothing. Not only are the ratings essentially made up ( see contrast ratings for TV ), but the difference is essentially nothing ( You need 4x the power to have 2x the volume ). What you want is a quality amplifier, and this onkyo is one.
Onkyo's TX-SR507 - Has many of the same features as the more expensive models May 4, 2009

I've never owned a A/V receiver before so I tried to do my homework before I made a purchase. The TX-SR507 has many of the same features as the more expensive models for a fraction of the price (four 1080p capable HDMI inputs and TrueHD/DTS-HD decoding). I pre-ordered and got it for $279.00 with free shipping, so the price was right too. I've paired it up with Energy Take Classics 5.1 (which I paid $379.00 with free shipping). I'm extremely pleased with the results. I use it mostly for gaming with my PS3 and watching Blu-ray movies. The Audyssey Auto Speaker Calibration with the included mic made precise set up a breeze. I doubt that you could find a better A/V receiver for that price.
