What is the big difference between the Onkyo HT-RC460 and the Onkyo TX-NR515? So far they look about the same.

If you do even 30 seconds of research you'll see that people don't know what they're talking about. The Onkyo product page AND the page linked on this page BOTH say that the HT-RC460 supports 3D. http://us.onkyo.com/Products/model.php?m=HT-RC460&class=Receiver I don't know if there's any difference between these models. I opted for the HT-RC460 because they had nearly identical feature sets. Onkyo seems to have multiple product lines that overlap on certain models. The HT-RC series, the usually higher priced TX-NR series and they also have a premium brand called Integra. Some forums get into arguments about possible higher quality components being used in the higher cost products, but others contend that the internals appear identical and cross-branding of components between Onkyo and Integra happens inside.

The majority of their capabilities are identical. One thing that the NR515 has that the 460 doesn't, however, it the ability to pass through a 3D signal. Other than that, the 460 is, for most purposes, a rebadged NR515 that used to be/still is sold as part of a HTIB setup with speakers.

Andrew:>Got to upgrade the receiver for the HD, at which point I'll just use the HDMI. As for what you guys are discussing, maybe the manual is outdated, since a firmware update enabled this unit to output the DTS-HD Master Audio Decoding via the HDMI, without having to go the analog route.Yeah. I would go ahead and upgrade; there are so many good deals on quality receivers right now. I have an Onkyo TX-SR706 with everything I need. I've had it for a week now and it blows me away.

A/V Guru: I was wondering if you could elaborate on the core differences between the Onkyo HT-S3300 and the Denon DHT-391XP. I currently only have an Xbox 360 and a HD cable box, and am looking for a system that can handle those two components as well as (which is the actual reason for getting the system) my music (via computer and Ipod). As this is the main reason for investing in a system, I would prefer to have a quality base setup. Looks like the Onkyo has a few more features on the receiver, and I was wondering if you could let me know why those are there (pretty naive on this whole subject, sorry). I see that the Onkyo has the "green, blue, and red" input cords like those that come from the Xbox, while the Denon does not. And the sony receivers systems in this price range seem to be much sleeker (but input wise more similar to the denon). So does it sound like I actually need all of the extra inputs that the Onkyo offers? And with all this in mind do you have recommendation

Hi, Though I have not seen or heard the klipsch, I can tell u a little about the Onkyo. I bought one a month ago. Unlike the HD 1000, this came with a receiver which had more inputs than u need. This is THX certified, has auto calibration, Zone 2 and much more. I researched for a year and a half b4 I made the purchase trough Amazon. There is newer model out with networking and USB support. Good luck

Here's the one I got for it. Works great and sounds amazing. Onkyo TX-SR604 7.1 Channel A/V Receiver (Black) (Discontinued by Manufacturer) by Onkyo http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000HD7FGM/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_qGeztb0N5VY8Y

Thank you, I too am wonderng at the difference between the two. I've got an older Denon receiver(3803) and would rather not have to replace it. This model seems to fit the bill for me.

Page 89 in the Onkyo manual is the beginning of the instruction set. If you don't have a manual, it's available online. Just Google tx607. I use a Harmony One universal for both of my systems. Well worth the money and easier setup.

I agree with others here; Onkyo receivers pretty much give you the best bang for your buck. Sound is always in the ear of the beholder. I like cambridge soundworks speakers. Whatever you do, dont spend a ton of money on cables. you get professional grade cables at monoprice for pennies on the dollar.

I'm not exactly an audiophile, but I've been using an Onkyo TX-NR525 with these speakers for the last year and have been quite pleased.

i had last years onkyo 606. I just got the pioneer 1019. imho the pioneer is better,it has much better up-conversion than the onkyo.It has complete control of i-pod without needing to buy an additional dock. It still has analog multi-channel input.The pioneer doesn`t hum or buzz like my onkyo did.Pioneer`s mcacc auto setup also eq`s the sub,the onkyo doesn`t.The pioneer`s sound quality is great.Buy the pioneer!

I am wondering about the music quality using a HTiB system, I mean, for a $100 or so more, you can get an Onkyo TX SR608 & Energy 5.1 Take Classic speakers for around $600 or so total. I'm wondering if the A/V units are worth comparing...Have any of you made the purchase and what is the outcome? Thanks

I too am considering these two recievers and i have for quite a while. Im leaning towards the Pioneer for the simple fact it comes with the ipod cable. Although i think the onkyo has a 2 yr warranty and pioneer doesnt.

I think Onkyo 8409 HTIB system couple years ago contained NR609 and this speaker set. They should be the best match. Otherwise, Onkyo won't put them together.

Thanks P. Seto, I think I will try the same. However, I Checked out the Onkyo 605 at my local Best Buy ($499), but on Amazon ($408), and it looks like it could do some serious damage. My only gripe is that it only has 2 hdmi inputs. I may want to add a PS3 at a later date, which would have my entertainment system running 3 hdmi cables. Is True HD and Dolby Digital plus a huge difference with the onkyo receiver capable of this type of audio?

Hi Mikey, I have paired these speakers with an Onkyo RC260 since 2 years from now. The most recent model of that Onkyo is the RC560 and you'll find it here on Amazon for about $400. My set sounds great and with a remote control like the harmony one, you will be very happy!!!

A quick search on Google would be a great place to start. Mostly the difference is age...the 475 is the newer model. Aside from that the 475 has one additional HDMI input. It can also interface with Pandora (although with a firmware upgrade the 473 might be able to do that). I found this by a quick Google search which led me to Yamaha's website with a comparison:http://usa.yamaha.com/products/audio-visual/av-receivers-amps/rx/?selected=372793_447955_&mode;=compare

Looks like J&R; or just wait for the new Onkyo's to come out. I see Ebay still has them, if you like Ebay.
