In reply to Michael Semon. Can you describe a bit more your problem ? What's your target device ? What are the symptoms ?

In reply to Steve. I have not read major issues anywhere, Marantz does have a B-stock program so that may explain why. I'm really happy with the receiver on my side.

I have been looking around at this receiver and am finding a lot of open boxes or customer returns in a lot of stores on line. Does this receiver have a problem?
Thanks

In reply to Kevin H. I wished it will work better for you with the Yamaha, sad to see those connectivity issues. I don't use a HTPC on this son I cannot confirm, but I'm not really surprised to hear this either.

I really, really tried to like this receiver, but unfortunately, it does not play well with the Samsung Hu8550series/Sek 3500u one connect box. Also had issues running a PC input through HDMI (although it worked fine on my Onkyo 838). D&M has traditionally been finicky with their inputs, so can’t say I’m surprised, but still..

When it worked though, it was glorious! Audessey worked as described and had my speakers singing like never before. Moving over to a Yamaha 3050, hoping for better luck with that.

Hi Ian, honestly, I really loved the stereo performance of the Onkyo, my first impression are comparable with the SR7010. No clean winner in my opinion.

The 1030 and 3030 are on bargain but they won’t support DTS:X, if it’s something you can concede then you’ll be more than happy with them, but if you want DTS:X better go with the Marantz or something else.

Nice work Steve,
What do you think about 2 channel stereo performance between sr7010 and you previous tx-nr1030? I want to hook-up sr7010 but onkyo tx-nr1030 and 3030 really on bargain now.

In reply to brad.

Sadly I did not experience Atmos at all in theaters. There’s one Atmos theater here where I live and it’s always translated movies in French (I’m in Quebec), so I’m not a big fan…
