nothing personal against you, but i just get more frustrated having to sift through "use the search" or "this has been posted before" posts than the actual op. if i come across a thread heading or post that i already know about or not interested in, i simply skip or ignore it. for me, it's easier to skip/ignore it then to reply with "use the search" or "repost". but that's just me.

strange, I was here yesterday and tried searching "606" and nothing came up. Just tried again and nothing.
Weird?

understood. i was probably just grumpy at the time. sometimes i can be an ass but it does come up if you type in the entire model number.

Will the 606 have video resolution/frame rate of: 1080p/24,30&60 fps ????

Will this reciever do 1080p/24,30 & 60fps??

One thing I have noticed is that the TX-SR606 will accept 24/192 PCM and TrueHD multi-channel, whereas dts-ma 24/192 is still limited to 24/96.

On every one of the -5 receivers, from the TX-SR605 to the TX-NR905, 24/192 is only accepted in 2-channel for PCM and TrueHD.

Good improvement. Wonder if it's the dts decoder chip that's limiting to 24/96 because it seems all receivers do this.

Hopefully in the case of the PS3, 24/192 dts-ma can be converted to 24/192 PCM in the case of multi-channel. I've sent Ronny Katz an e-mail to ask if he knows whether or not this is possible.

There are no 24/192 sources yet, but if you're converting DSD to PCM 24/176.4 none of the current Onkyo receivers accept this, it's all processed at 88.2kHz.

606 is too short - you need four letter search terms.
If you had tried searching for Onkyo in the receiver section, titles only, you would have had better luck.

Just got word back from DTS - the PS3 can decode 24/192 dts-ma to PCM.

Of course there aren't any multi-channel 24/192 sources right now, but there are a few 2.0 channel 24/192 releases and 24/176.4 PCM is the best PCM conversion for DSD.

almost identical specs as last years model.
This thing cant put out 140 watts per channel.

90 W + 90 W (8 ohms, 20 Hz–20 kHz
0.08%, 2 channels driven, FTC)
105 W + 105 W (8 ohms, 1 kHz, 0.7%,
2 channels driven, FTC)
110 W + 110 W (6 ohms, 1 kHz, 0.1%,
2 channels driven, FTC)

Here's a few key differences some may appreciate:

24/192 signals
605
24/192 PCM - accepts multi-channel
24/192 TrueHD - 2 channel only
24/192 dts-ma - accepts 24/96 only*

606
24/192 PCM - accepts multi-channel
24/192 TrueHD - accepts multi-channel
24/192 dts-ma - accepts 24/96 only*

* - the PS3 will convert 24/192 dts-ma to 24/192 PCM

HDMI inputs
605 - 2
606 - 4

watt per channel on this is bad ass......605 is gonna be a myth soon
