The unit is fully compatible with Dolby Digital and DTS encoding, and even includes Dolby Pro-Logic II circuitry, which provides virtual surround sound from two-channel audio sources, such as CD, videotape, cable TV and FM radio signals. With 9 DSP modes, a wide range of digital and analog inputs and outputs, and A-Form auto format detection, the TX-SR500 is easy to set up and use, and versatile enough to integrate the newest technologies with existing equipment in any home theater.

Great inexpensive reciever

Pros: Fantastic sound! Excellent power all around. Easy setup.
Cons: The remote is small, difficult to use, unless you can memorize all buttons!
The Bottom Line:
Great price, easy setup, fantastic sound, wow
I have never written a review for a product, but since I utilize Epinions so often now, I thought it was right to finally give back! Wow, what a reciever. Out of the box, it is not very 'fancy' looking, as my fiance told me. However, I believe in function over form, and this reciever delivers on that front. The sound it delivers is anything but. Easy setup, except for the fact my Sony TV is just old enough to lack any decent input/outputs, so it was difficult to link the TV with reciever and all of the other parts. Apart from that, setup was a snap, Onkyo even includes stickers to label all of your speaker and component cables. I don't have a sub yet, but the lows this puupy puts out to all channels is astonishing. Dedicated 65 watts per channel, minimum, at all times. Yes, you could buy a fancier, more expensive reciever, but if all you are looking for is good, crisp, powerful sound, this is your pick
