The TX-SR500 home theater receiver features a full suite of surround sound processing and inputs at an extremely affordable price. 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.

Onkyo TX-SR500 Good sound, mediocre reliability
| Author's Rating: |

Pros: It has many features. Good ENTRY level for surround sound.
Cons: Warrantee work required in the first year.
Fairly easy to hook up for the non-audiophile. Slightly lower in sound quality for music than my previous Yamaha. Not as warm. Many more features though. I upgrade for surround sound. I changed to Onkyo for price versus features over Yamaha. Reliability has been a concern there was a delay in getting it repaired, because so many others needed repair. Now it needs repair again. My previous Yamaha receiver lasted 10 years my Onkyo less than 5 years. An excuse to upgrade to 7.1 surround.
