Hamas' unnecessary, but fun purchase
In light of the idiotic Believer thread, I thought I'd bring some levity to this place. Tonight I finally bit the bullet and bought the A/V receiver I've had my eye on for quite some time, an Onkyo TX-SR804. Got it for 647.00, including shipping, not bad for a receiver with a list price of 1100 bones.
It has HDMI switching and 1080p passthrough built in, 7.1 surround, 7 digital inputs, and 735 watts of power. It also has an RS-232 port so that I can upgrade the firmware down the road (hopefully when HDMI 1.3 rolls around). The best part is that it converts every incoming signal to HDMI, so that I only need to run one cable to my TV. The days of cable spaghetti have ended ![]() Here's a zoomable image http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/ima...ctronics&img=1 |

What does it do you can probably plug like a billion speakers in it but like what else does it do.

I would guess you first asked Htismages advice on which product to buy first.

Nice pickup. Onkyo makes some solid receivers and that one will make a great centerpiece to a system.
I'm kind of dated on my a/v knowledge but have been getting back into it after getting my old system up and running again. Just curious what speakers you are driving with it? |
