Onkyo TX-DS595 Surround Sound Receiver
Product Description
Product Description
One of the most important features of this home theater receiver is its Wide Range Amplifier Technology, which allows it to make the most of high-resolution sources like DVD-Audio and Super Audio CD. The Dolby« Digital, DTS, and Dolby« Pro Logic II surround decoding make your movies come alive, and four assignable digital inputs allow you to connect and switch between your digital sources with the touch of a button. Plus, Smart Scan Navigator function makes set-up amazingly simple!
Product Description:
The TX-DS595 gives you Onkyo's traditional strengths - sonic excellence, build quality and unparalleled ease of use - plus the latest technological advances and user-interface refinements previously reserved only for the most expensive receivers. Take the Optimum Gain Volume circuit, for example. Its cutting-edge design puts an end to the noise contamination that often plagues conventional volume controls - so your movies and music sound their best at any output level. Another Onkyo high-end refinement, a Non-Scaling Configuration, gives you better bass management while providing DSP with improved clarity, transparency, dynamics, depth and imaging. And critically acclaimed Wide Range Amplifier Technology (WRAT) eliminates the adverse effects of counter-electromotive force by applying the optimum minimal amount of NFB (negative feedback). For operation ease, you get Onkyo's exclusive A-Form (Auto-FORMat), which not only senses the signal format - DTS, Dolby Digital, or stereo, for example - but also, unlike any other receiver, switches to the listening modes pre-assigned for that source. And for the technophobic, four easily assignable digital inputs, an innovative Smart Scan navigator, and IntelliVolume make setup and daily operation so amazingly simple, even those new to home theater will enjoy running the show.

Lots of bang and thump for your buck!.......2002-04-13
The Onkyo works with DTS, Dolby Digital, and Dolby ProLogic II sources, so this base is covered well. There are several pre-set audio configurations that allow users to select the best sound depending upon the type of material. For example, "Orchestra" directs the sound to the two front speakers, and optimizes the sound of symphonies. "Stereo" sends the signal to the two front speakers and to the subwoofer, for sound that will shake your room. It is very easy to find a preset that meets your needs.
The sound this receiver helps to pump through our Polk Audio speakers is amazing. Firing up "Saving Private Ryan," and watching the opening sequence is absolutely incredible. I was ducking as the sound of bullets went whizzing through the speakers (not kidding)!!
My only beef is with the "learning" remote control. I have had difficulties in getting the "macros" to work. Everything else with this product was easy to set up and configure, so this was somewhat of a let down.
Remote control issues aside, this is a terrific piece of equipment for the price. I strongly recommend taking a step up from other brands to the Onkyo. Although a name not exactly in the mainstream, we remain pleased after almost one year of ownership.
Excellent Sound and Features.......2002-01-12
One important feature on this unit: it has A+B speaker switching. A lot of receivers these days don't. If you want to drive speakers in another room you will want this.
The setup features on this unit are nice and easy to access via the remote or the front of the unit. The remote, by the way, is very good and has learning capability.
Features I like:
Intellivolume - Allows you to adjust +/- 12 dB the volume of the various audio inputs. So like on my setup where the TV input is, for whatever reason, a lot quieter. Now I can adjust that out to be equal to the other inputs.
Volume Start and Max Volume - I have kids that like to turn knobs. Occaisionally with my old Sony I'd fire it up only to have my eardrums rocked because my 2 year old had cranked it all the way to the right. With the Onkyo, I can set the volume that it will always start with, and I can also set the max volume. The unit can't be cranked any higher than that setting.
Speaker volumes - You can independently adjust the volume of each speaker (5 channels plus sub)and keep it that way. So if you have an assymetrical speaker setup, you can compensate for it(...)
