Product Description
In the case of Onkyo A/V receivers, "entry level" means a whole lot more than just affordability and standard functionality. You won't find a better example than the TX-SR506, which also offers high-definition media capability and advanced sound correction technologies. With an HDMI platform handling 1080p video from three sources, the TX-SR506 brings polish and peak performance to high-definition displays and sources. Legendary Onkyo amplification drive and power set the foundation for delivering bass crunch and vocal clarity. And, thanks to the latest Audyssey technologies, you get to enjoy a sweeping soundstage even at low volumes. Easily holding its own among higher-priced A/V receivers, the TX-SR506 adds serious impetus to entry-level home theater.

i was on the fence for awhile about picking out a new receiver to replace my old Sony 5.1 setup. i wanted something easy to operate for my wife and kids, something that i could run one wire to my tv so i didnt have to change inputs on the tv as well as the receiver.
this onkyo was the ticket! i have my playstation 3, xbox 360, and Cox Cable box feeding this receiver, all hooked up via hdmi (for video) and optical (for audio). my tv is pre-hdmi, but i have an hdmi-dvi cable that works perfectly with this setup.
installation took me about an hour. i didnt run the auto setup on the speakers because for some reason i was getting an error. i was able to set the speakers up manually very easily so this didnt bother me at all. all the hdmi inputs and all the optical inputs are assignable, which couldnt be any easier. i just hooked up all my toys (ps3, 360, cable) turned them on, and just scrolled through the inputs until the all matched up, then moved on to the next.
the sound that this unit produces is absolutely amazing. dont be fooled by its low power rating because this is a high quality unit. it pushes my Klipsch Quintet II speakers much higher and produces a much cleaner sound than my Sony 100watt receiver did.
the remote that is included with this receiver is perfect as well. its programmable, although it doesnt have all the commands that i need for my cable box, it can do everything except pull up the DVR menu. on top of that, its small and simple to use!
the only reason i didnt give this unit a 5 star rating is because the switching between hdmi sources is a little slow, takes about 3-5 seconds to switch.
all in all, it fits my needs perfectly and i wouldnt hesitate to make this purchase again!

Just hooked it up and apparently this piece will not play audio through HDMI. It has pass-through and can only be played through the TV. Whats the point? I'm sure the rest of it is satisfactory but I could have kept my old non-HDMI.

OK, you have a game room, bedroom or other location where you want the benefits of a good receiver but don't want to bust the bank. This is it. The 506 hits the nail on the head. The only thing I might add, is audio pass through for the HDMI. Not a problem with digital audio outs but it would be nice to take advantage of that HDMI capability. I have it on my 705 and like it. I have 5 Onkyo receivers in my home and can tell you, I believe in Onkyo. 1 is a stereo source and the other 4 support surround sound systems at various locations. With the exception of one unit that has issues with a "hot" signal from my FIOS connection, they are flawless, easy to set up and offer good value!
Extremely happy! July 11, 2008

I had a hight problem with the space I needed to put a receiver into (less than 6"). This Onkyo fit. It was not as powerful as I wanted to buy, but to my surprize it's performance is much better than I expected.
I especially like the capability of the receiver to automatically adjust the speakers using a mic that I place in the center, right and left of the sweet spot in my room. I did not expect that from an inexpensive 70 watt per channel receiver
