The Onkyo 818, along with all of its 700 series models is, most likely, DEFECTIVE.
Specifically, and as referenced in Onkyo's Forums, the 818 has a defective USB port. SO, you will not be able to listen to your IPOD songs without hearing "dead spots" on each and every song. When I asked to return the unit and get my money back, they said "NO, you have to accept another unit". This was AFTER having sent me a defective unit prior to the 818. And, not to be ignored, ONKYO's streaming APP is, to be kind, UNSTABLE and will not work past one or two songs.
Outrageous!
You are nuts to purchase anything from ONKYO.
As for the 700 series models: 708/709/717/726. They all have defective mother boards. Some may last past the warranty period and will cost at least $800 to repair. If they crash prior to the warranty period deadline, you will have to send them to be repaired at YOUR EXPENSE.
I was an idiot to do business with ONKYO. Do not make the same mistake. Beware!

I love the power and clarity this receiver gives me at such a reasonable price. I like the audessey program which calibrates your speakers sound as to where the placement of them is throughout the room, it makes the soundstage in the room so much more enveloping, and equal thriugh the room no matter where your listening point is in the room. I also like all of the customizing you can do with the sound according to what your format is: whether it blu-ray, cd, satellite tv, turntable, radio, etc. Lots of manual presets with the sound which in turn makes it fun, and enjoyable listening experience; which is why you purchase a receiver in the first place!

So far enjoying great sound compared to my Pioneer. Came well packaged in the Onkyo box and was a breeze to set up. Updated the firmware and just loving it. I took the 3 year warranty with Assurant, not sure if I should have but anyways for the cost seems good.

I run nothing but def tech with all my surround speakers and my subwoofer ( super cube ii ). the up convert from all my dvds up to 1080p, which I have over 300 movies on dvd, and the thx cinema sound makes watching regular tv like watching and listening to a blu ray. if I paid $1500 for this receiver I would still think it was worth the money.

I bought this to replace my 7 yr old Onkyo receiver. Straight swap right into my old system, nothing added or taken away. On the third day I was listening to a music CD through my Blu-ray player. Had volume set to 75% Suddenly, I see a plasma ball of fire for a moment and it started smoking. I've never seen this in the 35 years I've been buying stereo equipment and I've owned a dozen. I'm only driving a set of 7.1 Definitive technologies surround and subwoofer.

The best thing about this receiver is the remote options.
The physical remote that comes with the device will learn any other remote. You can put the remote in learning mode and tell it what button you want to program, then point another remote at it. The Onkyo remote will learn the command sent by the other remote, making it capable of controlling pretty much every other device in your house. This is great because I've got a projector and some lighting that are RF controlled, but can't be programmed via traditional programming codes. This is a fantastic feature!
The app is also great. Being able to independently control the three zones, volume, subwoofer level, etc, via your cell phone is probably the best part of the whole experience.
Set up is incredibly easy and the mic calibration makes a huge difference. You can really tell when you're in the sweet spot.
There are a few things not quite right for which I've subtracted a star (but I still recommend the receiver).
The Net functions will sometimes freeze up and require a restart to bring back in line. Sometimes the app can not find the receiver, but it will find other devices. It's nifty that I might be able to control an xbox through the app, but that's not what I'm trying to do. I would also include an illuminated remote. It's hard to do find what device you're on without accidentally changing the input on the receiver.
In all, it's a wonderful receiver. People are always doing double takes like, "Did you just do that from your phone?" It puts out a great field of crisp sound, even at low levels. The remote options make this one of the best receivers you can buy!

Years ago, after researching and much reading I decided that Denon receiver was the best.
The old model, AVR 3808CI, 130 Watt, 39lb, only had 4 HDMI so I started looking to update to a new receiver.
The first thing I turned to was another Denon AVR-2312CI with 7 HDMI inputs, 105 watts per channel, Air Play etc for $924 inc tax at local Best Buy.
First thing I noticed was how light it was compared to my older Denon. Heavy does not mean better but in amplifiers, the important component is the power transformer and a robust transformer will be heavy.
Upon hooking up the 2312, my first listening test was disappointing. Not much better than my former Denon and perhaps not as good. So I returned the 2312 to Best Buy and start my search again.
After extensive search, the Onkyo line interested me the most.
Initially, I was attracted to TX-NR717 125 watts and 7.2. Then I chanced on to TX-NR818.
It is 135 watts, 9.2, 40lb and more electronic features stuffed into it than you can imagine! I was a little concerned because the more stuff they put in, more chance of conflicts, bugs and nagging problems.
The NR818 is the latest model and some websites list it but not available yet.
I found one at Amazon and I decided to order one for $1099 and with LAN adapter and 12 sets of banana plug it came to $1151.
Now here is the bottom line. After setting up the Receiver with Sony DVD/CD player, Time Warner DVR, XBox 360, PS3 and Apple TV, I put in my favorite CD and turned it on.
When I heard the sound, my initial reaction was WOW! I looked at my wife and she agreed the sound was fantastic! The best way that I can explain the sound is it's clear, clean, pristine. And without going through the speaker set up routine, my Aperion speaker system with center channel and a sub-woofer put out a sound I never heard before and all channels well balanced!
One surprising extra to the NR818 is the video. When I view Time Warner programs, I have to say "man look at that color!" The rendering of all the colors are 100% improvement! Focus is sharper, all the color seem more true to life. Red are redder, blue are bluer and the flowers and trees pop out at you.
As you can see, I am very impressed with Onkyo NR818. There are tons of features and adjustments that I have not tested and tried but my initial impressions are that they will all work well.
If my comments need updating, I will here.
In the meantime, I'd certainly recommend Onkyo NR818 as one of your consideration.

I purchased the Onkyo TX-NR818 to replace a well loved Pioneer Elite SC-37. There was nothing wrong with the Pioneer but I wanted more features such as better internet radio, tablet/smartphone apps (I'm a geek!), a better video processing engine. and I was intrigued by the instapreview technology.
After now owning this receiver for about 7 months, I must say that it's been a pleasant surprise. Stepping down from a $2200 MSRP receiver, the SC-37, I thought I was going hear a drop in audio quality. I was wrong but there are indeed differences between the two units. On the Onkyo TX-NR818 paired with my Klipsch XF series speaker set and Supercube Reference Subwoofer, the sound output sound that can be described as warm but it's a welcomed change. On the Pioneer it was bright causing my Klipsch horns to be too loud during certain scenes in movies (shattering glass for example).
The iPad app was easy to use and immediately recognized my receiver on the network. Once connected I could change input, sound levels, and do other things from anywhere in my home. Video processing is great and it actually makes my Elite TV (PRO-60X5FD) look even better which I didn't think was at all possible. This receiver also allows for ISF certified calibration which I do not use. Moving on, Instapreview technology is just marketing for Onkyo. It doesn't run smoothly and I have found it to not be useful. Certain previews just show up as a black screen and other times is extremely choppy.
Having owned the top Onkyo receiver in the past (TX-NR5007, sold it because no 3D pass through) in the past, I must say that this receiver's quality is very near that unit. In my opinion, I would recommend saving the extra money and get this unit instead!

Took a week to figure all the bells and whistles, but I am now enjoying the rewards. My old TX-DS 777 is still working great but lacked the modern connections I wanted. I even upgraded my Sony SACD to a Blu Ray SACD for a HDMI connection. Sent signal from the zone 2 (make sure the powered switch is off for zone 2) to my 777 in the other room. Turn on zone 2 at the 818 (can't figure how on remote but can at amp) and enjoy sleep music in other room. I can then turn off 818 and still play zone 2. I waited a few years to upgrade because of the HDMI connection problems I read about. I have had no problems. It appears they got it figured out. I really like the microphone you put in the middle of your listening area that auto sets the speakers.

I receive my Onkyo TX-NR818 today. So far, I am impressed. This receiver is heavy, looks strong, well built, crispy sound, and has plenty of power. All kind of features, I think you need to go to college to learn how to use this thing. My first radio was a Philips, tube amplified radio! Now this fully computerized receiver? Wow! Life has changed a lot since those days. But I guess what you pay is what you get. I will not say much now, since I just got it. I want to mention, however, that I was hesitating getting this receiver because is has not Airplay capability. I contacted Onkyo before I ordered it, and got a reply telling me that I can use an App, really? Yes! I installed the "Onkyo Remote2" app, and bingo! It works! I love it. The App is very well designed. ...more later.

Power supply died after 18 months and I have no Onkyo authorized service centers in my country. Onkyo will only sell replacement parts to authorized service centres so you're out of luck without one of those around. First and last Onkyo product I ever buy. Would give 0 stars for poor after sales service if I could.

I bought this receiver for my recently renovated basement tv room. I played around with the receiver a bit before using the MultEQ XT32 calibration to see if there would be much improvement. Before calibrating I played some music and watched a few movie scenes and wasn't very impressed with the sound. After calibrating the speakers all I can say is WOW!!! There was a huge improvement to the sound quality. I wouldn't consider myself an audiophile but I know what sounds good. I have a 7.1 speaker setup and this receiver puts them in perfect harmony. Music sounds amazing using the Audyssey DSX front wides and movies even better.
My only cons are that the receiver cannot stream videos over DLNA from my PC, only music. I have an older bluray player that was much less expensive that can stream videos and is several years old. Also the user interface could be a little more intuitive and better looking. Lastly, the receiver does not support gapless playback of music streamed from your PC, meaning there is a 5 second delay in between tracks which can be very annoying if your listening to just about any album all the way through (think Pink Floyd's Dark side of the Moon, live concerts, classical music, etc.). This is not a problem if you hook your mp3 player directly to the receiver.
All in all a great receiver that I would recommend.

Bought the Onkyo for my new house and had it installed downstairs. The performance was so good that I purchased another for my man cave and installed it myself. Hooked up 4 Bose 901's, 2 Kenwood's w/17" woofers and a pair of Bose 301's. Installed an additional Kenwood M2 amp and Bose Equalizer to help push the 901"s. The sound is amazing and goes great with the 80" TV!
Still planning on installing a powered Sub woofer....

I have a 809 since Jan 13 and love it. I had a incidence last week that the HDMI stopped working and the screen went blue. I called Onkyo support and worked with Dan,,,, he instructed me through the process of turning Deep Color off and everything started working great. I even started getting 1080I instead of the 720 previously on my Visio. Support really helped me lots, got right through to them. These units are really powerful and have lots of bells and whistles, but can become problematic because of this. My 809 cost me $445.00 and has just about all this 818 has so I would not change,,,, especially if my 809 is problem free now...... Good luck, cuz these units are wonderful,,,, when working

What I can say I'm very loyal to the good stuff, it is my third Onkyo receiver, an upgrade from my TX-NR609, and I can feel the difference in the sound, more powerful, more options of connectivity, and it match perfectly with my JBL'S speakers and my Oppo Bluray player. It is big and heavy, but if you have the space get it and be prepare to be loud :)

This device really a great unit for the price. Great sound, great features.
The only issues are:
- Slow to boot - it is the last device in my entertainment center to go from cold to fully functional
- No accessory power plugs in the back. My understanding is that this is an Onkyo thing. Oh well.
- About once a day or so, the picture will just go completely black for a few seconds, whether on CATV, Blu-Ray, or WII. I had this same issue with my previous receiver, a Denon. Extensive troubleshoot at that time pointed to the Denon.

Just got this receiver over Thanksgiving 2013. The picture has visibly improved on my TV, and the ability to control my Apple TV with the receivers remote means I no longer have to hunt for the tiny silver ATV remote.
I highly recommend this receiver. I have this paired with Klipsch RF-82II fronts and a Klipsch 301 sub.

I have Pandora on right now, and the sound from my 7 speakers and Woofer make me feel like I am sitting in the middle of the artists playing. Love all the HDMI ports. I have 4 DVD players 1 Blu Ray and 3 that hold 400 DVD's each. It is nice to have them connected with the HDMI ports. My previous Onkyo was 6 years old and had no HDMI port.

After great research I finally took the plunge to replace my Denon receiver with this Onkyo. The Denon always sounded muffled in regard to the highs such as cymbals and individual instruments never seemed realistic. This Onkyo has exceeded my expectations. The highs are crisp and clear. Violins, oboes, saxophones, etc., now have new life. This receiver brings out the essence of an instrument. You can hear the subtle nuances of instrument solos. Just incredible.
All of the other features like built in Pandora and other internet music providers to full control of the unit through iPad apps, which even show the type of surround mode being encoded in the input, are even more reason to buy!
As an audioholic, this unit keeps the fine music addiction alive and well.
PS - Bi-amping the front speakers makes a big difference in sound clarity if your speakers will allow.
