Onkyo 60*6*??? - Blu-ray Forum

Matt X · 04-16-2008, 05:13 PM

......just spotted this on cc.com, didn't see any posts on this model. Anyone see this yet, and is the only difference more HDMI inputs? 'cause that looks like it will make the 605an even BETTER deal.

...nearest I can tell, the onkyo site does not list the 606 - if anyone's looked into this and can contrast w/the 605, it would be appreciated.

From productwiki:

The Onkyo TX-SR606 is the follow-up 7.1 receiver to the hugely popular Onkyo TX-SR605 released in March 2008. The 606 features an upgrade to 4 x HDMI 1.3a inputs, up from 2 in the 605, and will not only transcode video signals to HDMI but will also upscale to 1080i over HDMI. The Onkyo TX-SR606 can decode HD audio sources (Dolby TrueHD, dts HD-MA). The TX-SR606 can deliver 90 Watts (@ 8 Ohms) to each of its 7 channels, each featuring 5-way binding post connectors. The MSRP is $500.

Sounds like a pretty good upgrade to me...

The 605, 705, and 805 only upconvert to 720p. The 875 and 905 upconvert to 1080p. Honestly, I think I'd rather have my reciever upconvert to 720p instead of 1080i.

I have to agree. Plus I only needed 2 HDMI inputs anyway. I got the 605 for 299.00 this morning. I couldn't pass up that price.
