Onkyo TX-SR601 Onkyo TX-SR601 is a 7.1-channel home theatre receiver that was manufactured in the early 2000s. It has a power output of 100 watts per channel and supports Dolby Digital, Pro Logic II, and DTS decoding. The receiver also has a built-in AM/FM radio tuner, multiple audio and video inputs and outputs, and an on-screen display for easy setup and navigation. Additionally, it features a multi-room audio capability, which allows you to distribute audio throughout your home. The Onkyo TX-SR601 is a high-quality home theatre receiver that can enhance your audio experience. Basics: Tuning range: FM, MWPower Output: 85W into 8?

The High-Current Power Supply (HCPS) transformer and high-capacity filter capacitors allow the SR601 to drive low-impedance speakers without strain. You also get the full complement of 6.1-channel Dolby and DTS processing modes. We liked the speaker setup programs versatile satellite/subwoofer crossover control. You can select between 60Hz, 80Hz, 100Hz, 120Hz, or 150Hz crossover options to help fine-tune your subwoofer/satellite systems sound. The receivers Zone 2 capability can power stereo speakers in a second room and process separate stereo sources simultaneously for each zone/room, or it can send the same signal to both. A 12-volt trigger output can activate a component (such as a separate power amp) located in the second zone. Speaking of connectivity, the SR601 can handle five A/V sources and two audio-only sources. The 5.1-channel analog input for DVD-Audio or SACD sources and one of the four digital inputs (three optical, one coaxial) are assignable as well. Theres also one optical digital output. On the video side, you get five composite and S-Video inputs, two assignable HDTV-compatible component-video inputs, and one component-video output. That means youll be able to toggle between two high-def video sources, such as a set-top box and a progressive-scan DVD player, in addition to the five standard video sources. Moreover, the front-panel A/V input with S-Video provides an easy connection route for a camcorder or a portable MP3 player. For speaker connections, heavy-duty banana-plug-compatible jacks are available for all channels. Those looking for a comparable model at a similar street price should check out the Harman Kardon AVR 325. It has a more comprehensive feature set, but at 50 watts per channel, its somewhat less powerful than the SR601. We used the SR601 with a set of Klipsch reference speakers and were bowled over by the sound. Every DVD and CD we demoed was lively and very present-sounding. The sound wasnt warm or laid-back, just wonderfully detailed and alive. And thanks to the SR601s flexible bass-management skills, we achieved the perfect subwoofer/satellite blend when we opted for the 60Hz setting. On the second Sessions at West 54th DVD, Lyle Lovetts Step Inside This House sounded wonderfully warm and natural. This is a purely acoustic tune, and the SR601 let us hear the spaces between the guitars, the fiddle, the cello, the bass, and the drums--it sounded real. Lovetts vocal against the instrument balance was perfect. Lou Reed also appears on the DVD, and his harder-edged electric sound erupted from the speakers with remarkable verve.The SR601s poise under pressure was even more evident when we checked out the surfing extravaganza DVD, Blue Crush. Reproducing pounding Honolulu waves and ocean spray takes a lot of power, but the Onkyo was never fazed. Hot damn, we could almost smell the salt water! The surround effects whipping around our large home theatre added to our enjoyment of the film.Comes with remote and manual
