Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars onkyo 797 is awesome home theatre piece.......2004-02-03

used to power a high end mission stereo system in 5.1. sounds great with music and home theatre. i have expecially loved the all-stereo mode and dolby Pro-logic II for movies.

all around recommended by someone who has previewed over a dozen receivers in past 3 years.

5 out of 5 stars Absolutely the best for the price.......2002-07-02

After doing a ton of research to find the right receiver for me, I decided on this one - in favor of the competing Denon and Harmon Kardon receivers.

Onkyo gets 5 out of 5 for the feature set. Onkyo certainly did its homework before developing this piece of amazing hardware. This receiver can handle almost any audio format available today (Dolby Digital 5.1, DTS, DTS-ES 6.1) and has several DSP features like Dolby PL II, Neo:6, and more.

This receiver has connectivity features that would satisfy even the demanding users. It has more than enough video (S-Video as well as component video) and audio inputs, including one for turntables! Further, 3 optical digital audio inputs, 3 coaxial digital audio inputs and 1 optical digital output make sure that you can connect every device to it using the digital connectors.

It also features pre-outs for all 7.1 channels, which makes it easy to upgrade your home theater system, should you wish to move on.

The built-in amps are powerful with 100 watts per channel (100 x 6 watts) with 8 ohm speakers (the most usual speaker impedence). This should be sufficient for most medium sized rooms upto about 300 sq feet (assuming you like to listen real loud).

Sound quality is amazing, and it works its magic equally well on 2-channel as well as multi-channel sound inputs. Being THX-certified, you would have high expectations with its sound and picture quality, and take my word for it, you will not be disappointed!

The superior OSD is clear and very easy to navigate through. The remote control is a bit large, but its capabilities are amazing. The remote is lighted and has functions for programming macros and for programming individual buttons from buttons on other remote controllers.

All in all, this THX-certified receiver has all that any home theater aficionado could ask for.
