Excellent Value, Great For Smaller Systems
By P.
As with all electronics, there is a clear trade-off between value and quality. If your home theater budgets puts you in the under $300 (probably more like under $200 today) range, this is an excellent receiver with plenty of inputs and features.I upgraded to this unit after owning a Yamaha Pro-Logic Receiver for nearly 7 years. I immediately noticed a huge difference. A couple of things worth noting...For one, this is a 6.1 system. I don't know how many people are running 7.1 systems, but if so, this is probably not the unit for you since you most likely have a large home theater with larger speakers that could probably use some more power than this offers.Now, for the many positives. This unit features a subwoofer pre-out, which seems to work a lot better than the prior connection I had on my Yamaha. The sound is really outstanding for both DTS/DD applications and normal stereo. The digital inputs (3 optical, 1 coax) are assignable to any function (i.e. DVD, Video 1, etc.). The power of this receiver is pretty impressive. I have 2 B&W DM302s as front, a B&W CC3 for a center, and a B&W ASW500 sub, and the system rocks. I have an optical cable connecting my laptop to the receiver, and even 128 mbps mp3's sound wonderful.I purchased it for $199 from J&R Music World- very good value. As with most consumer hi-fi equipment, there is always the risk of product defect or burn-out mentioned in some of the other reviews. Onkyo seems to offer a good warranty (2 years I believe). Go for it. Perfect for an apartment or smaller living room.

By Gadgester
While the Onkyo TX-SR502B is not a high-powered receiver, it's still a great value for a starter's home theater receiver, esp. considering the namebrand and high quality you are getting. The 6.1 digital surround is awesome; get Onkyo speakers to go with this. The moderate output power is actually a boon for those of us who live in apartment buildings, since we can never crank up our speakers to high decibels anyway. (Those living in a house with the next neighbors 10 miles away should get a receiver with more power.)BTW, if you don't already have your own speakers, you might want to consider a home theater in a box (HTIB) system that includes both the receiver and teh speakers. Onkyo and Yamaha have some high-quality systems for decent prices.

By Glenn A. Maningas
you cant ask for anything more, they say it has a small power, it depends on your room size, i have a 12x 15 room & power is more than enough, just be sure to buy good set of speakers, dont be fooled by BO$E brand they are overpriced, set up your own home theater, more exciting & less than half of that cube speaker & stuff
