But those reviews shouldn't totally scare you away from the TX-NR, as the reported problems don't seem to affect all units. Our review sample with the most recent firmware update didn't suffer from many of the issues mentioned in negative reviews and many other buyers seem satisfied. Onkyo has never made much of an effort to pretty up its AV receivers. The basic design hasn't changed much over the years, with a boxy shape and an overall rough-around-the-edges look.
The big volume knob is nice, though, and luckily the glowing ring around the outside can be dimmed in the setup menu. But if aesthetics are high on your list for an AV receiver, check out Denon or Marantz instead. Onkyo's included remote is decent, although not as good as the offerings from Marantz and Denon. The input buttons are bright white, but they're small and don't glow in the dark.
Overall, the remote isn't as cluttered as Sony's or Pioneer's, but there are still plenty of unnecessary buttons like the number pad at the bottom. At least with the money you saved by going with Onkyo, you can grab a nice universal remote. The Onkyo Remote 2 app is far from well-reviewed, although the version we tested wasn't nearly as bad as the reviews would indicate.
It's particularly great if you'll be using Onkyo's built-in streaming services, as the app often replicates what's on the TV's screen on your phone, so you don't have to keep looking back and forth. That's a frequent complaint we have about smartphone remote apps. It's also much more convenient to search services like Spotify or Rhapsody using a phone or tablet keyboard.
The downside is that it can be a little buggy, although it usually worked well in our tests. Pressing the home buttons brings up a row of icons overlaid on whatever video you're watching. You can jump straight to, say, streaming-audio services, or adjust the settings. Onkyo's interface for streaming-music services isn't pretty, but it gets the job done. It's certainly better than the cramped interface on the STR-DN, and thanks to the smartphone app you likely won't need to use it that often.

If you do not plan on hooking your TX-NR to your home wireless network, you can still connect an HDMI cable to your smartphone if it supports it so you can play back any audio or video files and output them to the display and 7.
If plugging in external devices is too much work, a more convenient approach is to take advantage of the online features of the TX-NR Since the TX-NR supports the MP3tunes Cloud Locker service, you can upload your favorite music tracks to your account and let your home theater receiver stream them whenever you like. These features mean that your home theater receiver does not have to depend on other devices for audio playback.
No matter how you play your audio files, these files will get the professional audio treatment thanks to the many Audyssey technologies that are present in the Onkyo TX-NR Onkyo TX-NR subwoofer setup.

My onkyo is the same and I have two subs, one connected to each output but at the sub end I am using a two-to-one Y adaptors so I can use both inputs. The purple outputs are a paralleled. Davek said:. Click to expand Last edited: Apr 11,
