Onkyo TX-NR797 review

It offers 220 watts per channel at 8 ohms. The unit boasts 9.2 channels. Works with Sonos, Chromecast built-in, AirPlay 2, and DTS Play-Fi are enhanced by high-speed 802.11ac Wi-Fi while speaker outputs with DACs can power D/A audio in three rooms. With nine channels of high-current power on tap, roll up the volume to THX Certified Select reference level and wrap your family in 5.2.4 channels of Dolby Atmos or DTS:X sound, or feel IMAX Enhanced*2 content as the filmmakers intended.

Onkyo TX-NR787 review

The novelty of 2018 produces 100 watts of power per channel at 8 ohms with a simultaneous load of two channels. It has the same 9.2 channels. This model was the first equipped with AccuEQ Advance advanced room correction system. Developers call it the "premium multi-point calibration system that eliminates standing waves." The user can set microphones at three points in order to get the “optimum scene after automatic calibration”. Onkyo TX-NR787

Onkyo TX-NR787 pros & cons

Pros

  • It delivers beautiful sound and moves rather seamlessly from input-to-input with my universal remote
  • This receiver automatically adjusts the sound for the programming you are watching to provide the best surround experience

Cons

  • The disadvantage of the TX-NR787 is that this AV receiver cannot be used as a preamplifier, since it does not have the analog multi-channel outputs that are usually found on 9-channel models
  • Another issue is that the receiver does not recognize my television so an optical cable needed to be used instead of the HDMI cable for sound
