While the TX-NR818 is a great AVR for the price and does the basics flawlessly, it does have some issues that need to be addressed. On the good side of things, this Onkyo sounds wonderful. I was skeptical upgrading from a TX-SR805 that this would be able to compare to that unprecedented beast, but it has. Although the 818 does sound generally a little quieter than the 805, I could hardly call it underpowered and a little boost to the volume (or use of IntelliVolume) fixes that issue. Overall, the sound is more balanced with a much tighter and well defined bass response and a more defined soundfield. I mark this down to the new Audyssey MultEQ XT32 that really does make a huge difference in compensating for room acoustics and helping to tune the subwoofer in a bit.
Picture processing is superb as well. While I don't use it to process the PQ of my Oppo BDP-93 Blu-ray player, I do use it to up-scale the signal from digital cable box/DVR from 1080i to 1080p and also apply some mild noise reduction, and my overly compressed cable has never looked better. There is a caveat, however. There seems to be an HDMI handshaking issue with the 818 and my Motorola digital cable box causing it to be forced down to 720p every time I start up. This means whenever I turn my cable on I have to manually dig down into the menu system and switch the output resolution back to 1080i.
Now, the biggest disappointment is the networking features. I was really hoping to be able to use the 818 to stream all my ALAC and FLAC audio files from my networked hard drive and finally box up all of my CDs, regaining all that physical space (I have A LOT of CDs -- over 6,000). Alas, the Onkyo doesn't support gapless playback -- not via DLNA, not via your "home network" not even from a USB drive. WHAT?! Try listening to classical music, a concert disc, Coldplay's Mylo Xyloto, or Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Mood without gapless playback -- it's torture. Denon has already updated their AVRs to support gapless playback streaming, what's wrong with Onkyo? Even with the glaring issue of missing gapless playback aside, the Onkyo 818 had problems playing back streaming media, be it from my networked hard drive or via the internet (Pandora, etc.) -- and this was over a WIRED Ethernet connection, not wi-fi (more on that later). Streaming media playback had a lot of dropouts, and, while I could live with the occasional dropout from something like Pandora -- it is the Internet after all -- frequent drop outs playing music from my own hard drive over Ethernet is unacceptable. Getting back to wi-fi -- if you plan on using this over your network via wi-fi (with Onkyo's UWF-1 adapter or some other compatible adapter) don't. The Onkyo doesn't allow "home media" streaminng (read a networked hard drive/DLNA server) via wi-f. It also limits the sampling rate of streaming Dolby TrueHD lossless media over wi-fi to the unusual 68kHz.
In the end, as an AVR, the TX-NR818 absolutely rocks with great sound and picture processing, all the traditional AVR features, but it falls down with one of the main draws of the latest crop of AVRs, and that's the networking. They need to update the firmware to fix these flaws fast.

Потрясающий звук и мощность
Потрясающий звук и мощность. Добавить в потолке динамиков и Dolby Atmos является удивительным. Хотел бы я потратил бы немного больше для системы 838, который предусилителя выходы дает вам возможность добавить больше динамики в дальнейшем (с внешним драйвером). На 737 нет такого, что я не знала на момент покупки. Это действительно моя единственная жалоба.

THIS IS MY THIRD ONKYO A/V RECEIVER PURCHASE OVER THE LAST TEN YEARS. I WRITE ALL IN CAPS BECAUSE MY EYESIGHT IS NOT WHAT IT COULD BE. SO THE UPPERCASE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE PRODUCT.
THE RECEIVER IS THE BEST BANG FOR THE BUCK. IT IS THE SWISS ARMY KNIFE OF THIS TYPE OF EQUIPMENT. IT DOES EVERYTHING AND UNLIKE THE SWISS ARMY KNIFE DOES IT AS WELL AS A SPECIALIZED PIECE OF EQUIPMENT. YOU CAN SPEND MORE MONEY ON SEPARATE COMPONENTS, BUT, THIS THING IS PRETTY AWESOME. THERE IS PLENTY OF POWER, IT SOUNDS GOOD AND ONCE YOU MASTER THE INTERFACE YOUR ARE GOING TO ENJOY IT. THIS ONE IS THE HEART OF THE HOMES ENTERTAINMENT CENTER AND IS A KILLER APP.
THERE IS AN iPAD APP THAT IS FREE AND THAT FURTHER ENHANCES THE EASE OF USE.
THERE IS ONE CAVIAT, THE HDMI OUTPUT BOARDS ON THESE THINGS ARE STILL LESS THAN WHAT THEY COULD BE. SO IF YOU BUY ONE DON'T BE SURPRISED IF YOU HAVE IT IN THE SHOP DURING IT'S LIFE TIME. THE REPAIR ISN'T ALL THAT EXPENSIVE (UNDER $200) AND IT IS STILL THE BEST THING AVAILABLE.

I have been a home theater enthusiast for almost 20 years, I have been thru a lot of receivers. I mostly stuck with Sony, my budget as a young lad never really allowed to go above that $300 range. But I ventured out and have owned sharp, HK, and Yamaha, yet I loved them all the same. I think like most HT enthusiast we still prefer the 5.1 over 6,7 or 9.1 systems. Before the TX-nr 818 the most expensive system I have owned was a sony $500 5.1 A/V. So I can say in my own opinion this receiver is in a whole other category than those I had. This is a 7.2 A/v with Audyssey MultEQ XT32 which is Audyssey most advance auto room correction system. Its hdmi has ARC but this servers no interest for those of us who use projectors. It is more consistent than anything I owned before, picking up detail and bring out vocals more clearly. I connected it to my Bose 5.1 A6 speakers and after the auto calibration from Audyssey i was blown away.
But let me take you to the setup real quick, the speaker nobs are real simple to use in the back. after plugging everything in, HDMI's, and speaker wires ect... it will take you all about 30 minutes top. (unless of course you are completely unorganized) Now that it is all connected all you do is plug in you MIC and your Audyssey is ready to start. this is very simple process. Note: be sure to make fine tuning adjustments after Audyssey runs. If you are unsure and/or just are guessing it might be worth it to leave it alone and go with what Audyssey says. Or read the thread or forums about refining your system. Now your done. You will clearly hear each noise in each speaker more vivid from an other A/V you may have purchased like in the past. It realy will amaze you.
Like an onion this receiver has many layers for you too pull back. Unlike an onion pulling back each layer is going to cost your wallet. I could almost feel this beast was being help back by my Bose A6 speakers, I felt i was missing out on something. So i had a bit of extra cash and decided to upgrade my speakers as well. i purchase about $3k on speakers from Klipsch and Definitive speakers and not running a 5.2 system. Yes this is what i felt i was missing. I smile every time i play my music and cant wait to play a movie now.

I purchased this Onkyo TX-NR818 7.2-Channel Network A/V Receiver (Black) receiver to replace a 5 year old Harmon Kardon that sometimes had HDMI switching issues. After running the XT32 setup I thought WOW, this sounds great, Video seems to be great too.
After just a few weeks though I have joined the problem crowd- the receiver no longer will power on by remote. All other remote options work but power on will not. Google ONKYO REMOTE POWER ON and read about all of the others that have this issue, across all new Onkyo receivers.
One suggestion was to power the receiver on first (before the DVR or TV) and this seemed to fix the problem for a few hours. What I later found out was that if the receiver is turned off and back on within a short time period the problem may not remanifest itself until it has remained off for a while. The other possible correction is to leave the Network Standby set to Yes/On, but that consumes a bit of power and should not be required for the remote to work. I have not confirmed this as a fix but will try it out.
I was planning on buying a second Onkyo receiver for another room but may try something else if they cannot resolve this issue. At some point companies will figure out manufacturing with no QA is not the answer for consumer satisfaction and continued brand loyalty.
[UPDATE] Well, the network standby does work as an alternative means to correct the issue, but after installing the latest firmware update the problem seems to be corrected without having to go this route. The update instructions are somewhat confusing as the firmware release at the top of the page does not match the one it says the receiver will show at the bottom of the page- the firmware number at the top IS the one the receiver will show post-update: 1100-7101-0100-0000. "Once these updates are completed, the receivers F/W version will be 1080-6100-0100-0000" is NOT correct and probably an oversight that should have been edited/removed.
I have upped my rating to 4 stars, would have been 5 if I had received an email response from Onkyo about my problem. That said the video and audio this receiver produces is outstanding, so good that I DID decide to buy another Onkyo receiver for my other room. Time will tell if I have made a good choice, but for now I am VERY satisfied.
[UPDATE 5/18/2013] What Onkyo should really do is sell these by the 6-pack, that way you could toss them out when they stop working and have something else to plug in. What a POS this receiver has turned out to be. I think I will send it back to be repaired under warranty and sell it, along with the other I bought. I wonder if Onkyo does any QA at all before releasing products to the market. ONKYO, why do you sell this JUNK and expect to maintain any degree of customer loyalty and return business?

I purchased this receiver 18 months ago. A couple of weeks ago I decided to enable the audio pass-thru function for the HDMI channel designated for my satellite system. That is when the system decided to stop all HDMI output, Zone 2 functionality, and make certain menu options unavailable. Per Onkyo tech support I was directed to my local service center since the unit was still under warranty. I received the repaired unit yesterday...the processor board had been replaced. I hooked everything back up and went through the initial set up. Everything appeared to function normally including the pass-thru to the satellite system when the receiver was off.
The next morning, the pass-thru was not working again and I am experiencing the same issue as noted before the repair. I sent a request to Amazon for replacement/refund this morning. After 15+ years as a loyal Onkyo fan (had the bullet proof TX-DS787 and regret selling it) I will never buy another one of their products.

I bought this to replace the Onkyo 515 I purchased in 1994. What a difference 20 years makes. When the volume is at "thx ref", there is absolute quiet during quiet parts of soundtracks. My cds have never sounded better. I am amazed by this thing everytime I listen to it.

Приемник постоянно падает соединение WiFi, если положить в режиме ожидания, и это несмотря на включение режима ожидания беспроводной доступ в интернет. У меня Сони блю рей рядом с ним, и это никогда не сбрасывает соединение WiFi. Такими темпами мне придется получить Ethernet-подключение к нему. В противном случае он работает хорошо и, надеюсь, не будет развиваться проблемы AV-ресиверы Onkyo, известны мне.электронная перегреву!

So far this receiver seems to work great so far. There have been a few quirks that are annoying but nothing serious. The first thing is when I use the pc hdmi hook up, the bass doesn't seem to work off it which sucks because I listen to my music off my computer so I tried it on a different hdmi setting (tv/cd) and it works great on that. Not sure if it's a problem with my receiver or just how it's made, but that was one annoyance.
First of all I've read a lot of reviews talking about the frames per minute/second or whatever it is, and I can tell you that mine seems to have no problems with regards to that. I've watched movies on my computer and I play my ps3 through the receiver and nothing appears to be affected, so not sure if it's just some bad receivers or what but mine does not seem to have that problem.
Another minor annoyance is again with my computer, which is hooked to the receive and through my tv, the screen size sometimes changes and get's all zoomed in (closer), but the whole screen still shows everything (not being cut off). I just turn the receiver off and on and that usually fixes that and goes back to normal, but like I said a minor annoyance.
I used the usb/ipod connector with my ipod and that seems to work great, no complaints there.
Other than that everything seems to work great so far, definitely is bigger and heavier then I realized, it is my first receiver so I had no idea what to expect.
Not sure if it's worth it's retail price though, I luckily got a deal because it was out of stock (around 600) and luckily still got it in a decent time frame compared to it's projected time frame, plus I got a big gift card for christmas which almost cut that price in half, so I definitely got a great deal out of this. I'm sure you could find receivers just as good as this in a better price range if that is something your worried about, I learned while researching receivers though is that it's really hard to figure out what is a good or bad one, and based on a lot of reviews that there seems to be a lot of glitches and what not in these newer receivers which made me super nervous when buying one because they are so darn expensive.
Not sure how bad setting up usually is with receivers but setup on this receiver seemed simple enough to me.
In the end my receiver seems to work pretty well and I recommend it to anyone who is willing to pay for it, and I feel your pain when it comes to researching and looking for receivers, good luck!

I have had this amp for a wile. all functuns are very good except for one the multy room function ONLY works for anolog NO DIGITAL it was very disappointing but livable. all options are very good, power exceptional THX is good I wish there were at least one more optical input but not needed yet but if I get a additional CD player it can become a problem unless CD players now have HDMI outputs. the remote is not as robust as I would like and wish it had back lighting.theres also no S VIDIO inputs for my LAZER DISK or VCR why put RCA inputs on instead but again this is not devastating. the amp runs cool even when driven all day.I have to say, I AM very satisfied even with the small disapointments. I just hope it lasts 10 or more years..It was the best AVR for me on AMOZON the price was lower then I am accustomed too.also just for your info my room size is 12x12x7

Obviously, Onkyo research & development is has been taking some time off. Say three years maybe?
The NO SOUND problem has been plaguing Onkyo receivers for over 3 years now. I currently have the HT-RC270 and the HT-RC180. They both will not produce sound and both have greyed-out network settings. Both receivers can be reset occasionally by resetting the RIHD settings, plugging & unplugging a mic or repeatedly pressing the VCR/DVD & Power button reset. It is random though whether sound comes back. After either receiver is powered off, they resort back to a NO SOUND state.
I have exhaustively researched this issue. It seems nearly all Onkyo receiver models have HDMI main/controller boards that malfunction. Its not if, it seems to be when...most seem to die just outside the 2 year warranty time frame.
I would like Onyko to address this issue and explain why soon-to-be defective products are still being released to the market. Three years of the same problem reoccurring does not make sense. I truly like Onyko receivers, their options and menus. I am amazed to see Onkyo let their reputation slip into a defective product state.
Any answers?
Any solutions out there?
Similar frustrations?
What should I do with my 2 big silent black boxes now?

I'm still playing with settings and such as I only get to play with it 3 or 4 days per month. I love being a truck driver, but it does has it disadvantages. I have taken several opportunities to watch many live music DVD/BluRay's at what many would consider excessive volume including 'Ladies and Gentlemen: The Rolling Stones', 'Talking Heads: Stop Making Sense', 'U2:360', 'The Who: Live At The Isle Of Wight', and 'Queen: Rock Montreal & Live Aid' just to name a few. As good as my old Onkyo sounded, this one has far more headroom when pushed REALLY hard. Also, the 818 does indeed have a built in thermo-activated cooling fan which I can't say I actually activated. I can say that this receiver runs considerably cooler than my old Onkyo. Another wonderful product that appears to be built like a lead block, and weighs about as much.

Прочитав много страшилок о предыдущих выпусках компании Onkyo с неисправными платами HDMI и ужасное обслуживание клиентов, я все же решил рискнуть на этом по сравнению с Денон AVR и пока я доволен своей покупкой.

The receiver is very good but I was supposed that could be possible to split two zones with independent subwoofers but just the main zone could have one or two subwoofers. Another thing that is not good is the fact that is not possible to equalize the sound for 2nd and 3rd zones.

I have last year's nearly identical model (the TX-NR5009). We use the receiver to power 2 other zones (as powered-zones vs pre-amped unpowered). When the speakers in the other 2 zones (in addition to main room) are all on and at higher levels, it does cause the receiver to power off - maybe too many amps. But it does work at decent volumes in all 3 zones simultaneously with different sources.
My biggest tip: we could NOT for the life of us get Onkyo's (weaker) UWF-1 wireless adapter to work with this. However, do yourself a favour and get the much cheaper and powerful TP-Link TL-WN722N (also available on amazon). Worked like a charm in our TX-NR5009 and I suspect it will work fine on the TX-NR5010 too. It saved us from having to use a switch in our living room, and now I can dedicate our sole ethernet wall port to go directly into our Mediacenter PC.

твердая система
Система была проста в установке, никаких жалоб на данный момент. Канал сабвуфер не так сильна, как моя старая система. Это не получить так жарко, но я по-прежнему использовать систему охлаждения. Он не поддерживает всех-поделитесь сожалению, но это не есть хорошо поддерживают DLNA - должен работать.

I love this new receiver. It's a huge improvement over my last one by Sony. The audio calibration is much better than my old receiver and it allows for 8 different settings to be created to help create a larger listening area. The audio codecs are all high quality and I thoroughly enjoy watching movies at nominal volume and hearing everything there is to hear.

I really want to give this Receiver a better review, but quite frankly, it is just ok. Performance is buggy, controls and menus are un-intuitive and overly complicated, ipod playback cuts out, firmware updates...really? And the overall sound, well for the price point, keep shopping. Onkyo obviously knew this was a flawed unit since it is discontinued. i think I will be selling this unit fairly soon.

Хорошо
Тонн входы и параметры потокового
Идеально отвечает моим требованиям. Тонн входы и параметры потоковой передачи. Это было бы прекрасно, если бы была поддержка AirPlay.

Latest Update: The newest firmware update fixes the problem that was causing my failure. I have a Vera 3 Home controller on my network, so this same problem was causing the network card to get wedged. This latest update, installed from USB thumb drive has all of the network features on my Onkyo working great once again!
The 10/18/2013 update will address the following: UPDATE AVAILABLE ONLY via USB (US ONLY)
1. Corrects lock up failure when using MiCasaVerde Vera Lite controller on the same network
Thank you very much for fixing this firmware problem!
####
UPDATE: I had the receiver working, with the network features all working, after updating the firmware to the newest version from USB. A couple of weeks later, the network and USB features were missing again. I have no idea if this is a hardware or a software fault, but it is irritating as hell. It would be really nice if the Onkyo firmware would let us COMPLETELY reload the current firmware version, so we could ensure that all parts of the firmware were correctly installed...
Installed it a week ago, and was very happy with the Onkyo TX-NR818 until this morning. Was enjoying playing FLAC files using the Home networking app, was streaming internet radio via Pandora and Spotify, was happy with 12 local FM channels coming in clearly, and it looked and sounded great.
However, when I powered it up this morning, and attempted to select the FM tuner, it kept switching back to Network by itself. And, it did not pass any sound to the speakers. It actually would hang saying 'Wait' when I attempted the Audyssey setup, and it made no sound.
I used the CBL/Sat+Power/Standby reset to reset it to factory configuration. And it then passed the Audyssey setup and the speakers worked.
However, it no longer sees the built in ethernet network interface. It is greyed out in the setup configuration. I updated the firmware twice when I installed it last week, so it has the latest firmware. It was working great when I shut it off last night.
Sadly, my last chance to return it was two weeks ago, and now it is failing. Will have to hope that Onkyo supports it. I went to the Onkyo support forums, and other people are having failures of this stereo, too.
I will attempt to update this review as I deal with the process
I was hoping that those problems were behind Onkyo by now, since this receiver has been shipping for a while, but sadly, the problems still exist

For me this TX-NR818 is the best mid range model released by Onkyo and for the price of $700 i got 135 powerful watts at 8 ohms and everything i want from expensive home theater receivers, even there is a lot of bad reviews coming from website reviewer and who bought this, i don't mind how they give a bad reviews on this model , because i believe they used it and installed in a wrong way. If you know how to install, wire and calibrated right using the Audyssey MultiEQ32 and follow everything in the manual you may get the best sounding and surround reproduction without a hassle as i get now. By the way i add 100 watts stereo extension amplifier to manage the 9.2 channel options and i say "WOW" i can't believe it, surround sounds are more realistic and enveloping using all my nine JBL-ES speakers and subs.
yes i will recommend this to my friends

So my 818 no longer outputs audio on any input except when in stand by mode. The network port and usb ports are also not working. Also this unit is supposed to support 8ohms yet you are forced to select either 4 or 6...
I contacted support for the issue and it took 2 days to get a call back because they are experiencing very high call volumes. When they finally called me back, the guy said I would have to take it to a service center. Well I am in Virginia and the closest center is in New Jersey. He told me I would have to contact the regional service center (which may I add he would not give me the contact info for but told me to go to the onkyo site and look it up!!!) and they will arrange repair with me. However would I have to pay the shipping cost to send in a 40lb $1100 (price at the time) device that barely has any usage and is still under warranty...
