Great receiver
I purchased a TX-NR709 from another big online company out of New York with a B and an H in their name. I had nothing but problems with that unit. I sent it in to a repair facility for repair and then back the factory for repair and each time it was returned it had more problems than when I sent it.
Talia Garcia is the service manager at Onkyo and she is the consummate professional. I was so angry I don't know how she kept her cool. I had nothing good to say about Onkyo and yet Talia managed to always have a positive reply. Ultimately it was decided that the TX-NR709 needed to be replaced and an offer was made to replace that unit with the TX-NR717, which as of then had never yet been sold. I probably received one of the first receivers off the new production line and the difference between the 709 and the 717 was immediately noticeable. I have had zero problems with the 717. The sound is great, the functionality is great, the menus far exceed those of the 709 and to top it...

Onkyo 717
This Onkyo is replacing a 10 year old H/K receiver, so the tech inside is a huge upgrade, even if the prices would have been about even. I used to really into home theater back when I did it for a paycheck and I sold Onkyo and really had respect for them, so I looked at the features of the TX-NR717 as well as the price and decided that this would be the centerpiece of my home theater. It does not disappoint. With the exception of one issue this receiver has done everything I've asked of it and more. I've got my HD digital cable, Xbox 360, PS3/Bluray, Wii, all running through it and everything is so much better than it was with the older receiver, but of course that goes without saying.
Some things I really love about the 717:
+ 8 HDMI inputs. I want this thing to be useful for the next 3-5 years or so.
+ Network. For firmware upgrades, new internet radio options, etc.
+ HD upscaling, so I can plug in my Wii or older equipment and it looks better than...
A great upgrade of my 12 year old Onkyo!
I don't write a lot of reviews, but this model is new enough, I thought I should give my $.02. For starters, the TX-NR717 replaced an Onkyo TX-DS777 that I bought exactly 12 years ago. The 777 has been and still is a fantastic receiver, aside from idiosyncrasies due to it being outdated (more details below). If it hadn't been for those issues, I wouldn't have been in the market for a new receiver, but since I've never had a single problem with it, I went with Onkyo again.
I initially planned to get the TX-NR515, but after reading sour reviews from people having HDMI issues (having to unplug the unit every day), I started looking at the 616, only to find it had the same issues. Finally, someone posted that their 717 didn't have the HDMI issues, so even though it was about $250 more than the 515 at the time, I gave it a closer look. I compared the 717 to the Denon AVR-2113CI, which was identically priced at the time. After several weeks of poring over the specs of the...
