    Previous deal with discussion.

    Good price but no Dolby Atmos or DTS:X

    • jztilly on 19/03/2018 - 15:15

      If it had those it wouldn't be in this price range! I think our receiver has Dolby true but I've never seen it used. Only ever DTS or Dolby Digital/plus. Are those two decoders only useful if you watch blurays? Or do some streaming services utilise them too?

      • Thefong on 19/03/2018 - 15:33

        Netflix does Atmos, but it only works via select LG OLED TV's, or XBOX One S/X consoles

      • Major Mess on 20/03/2018 - 01:05

        Try watching some Blurays. Most have HD sound.

      • terrys on 20/03/2018 - 10:19

        "Soundtracks
        The TX-SR252 can decode Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD "

    • kamlem on 19/03/2018 - 16:31

      Yeah, waiting for an atmos deal now as my old amp has started to act up.

      Currently, the best I can see is Denon AVRX1400 for ~$580 delivered from amazon.de

    Explosive sound, sound's dangerous!

  • ChaLuo on 19/03/2018 - 14:52

    any deals on speaker packs to go with this?

  • mackaxx on 19/03/2018 - 15:24

    Seems pretty decent, any feedback on the amp itself or similar from anyone. Have always bought Yamaha’s in the $500 range before

    • Sarge2401 on 19/03/2018 - 15:36

      Same but my 7/8 year old one has packed it in over the weekend. Heard some good things about this brand but always go with what I know

    Pass through HDR?

    • ONEMariachi on 19/03/2018 - 16:34

      Yeah wondering if this covers 4K/HDR10 if anyone knows.

    • omblygombly on 20/03/2018 - 10:46

      My tx sr333 doesn;t have HDR. Unless this is a newer model, I doubt it, especially at this price.

    Be wary of the power ratings on these receivers. They're very deceptive, using 6 ohms instead of 8, and 1kHz, not 20-20kHz.

    Otherwise, Onkyo is a decent brand for receivers. https://www.reddit.com/comments/5zt8mw?sort=top

  • goober on 19/03/2018 - 23:13

    Does anyone on here actually have one? I know these are the entry level. I have a Sony amp from 15 years ago which is no use anymore. Will connect to 4K LG TV with HDMI 2.0

    Note no network connection.

    • terrys on 20/03/2018 - 10:17

      So less to go wrong, simpler remote, less drain on the power supply, one less source of noise in the case, and able to take the output of a network connected device then?
      I see that as a feature :-p
      If you are signed up, you can get it down to $200 on-line with a coupon.

      • mackaxx on 20/03/2018 - 12:57

        To $200? how did you manage that?

        • terrys on 20/03/2018 - 13:26

          Whoops, I misread it - it's $200 off with coupon - so exactly the same offer as made here, except made more enticing by being 'personally ' addressed with a code [/s].

      • Major Mess on 20/03/2018 - 14:48

        @terrys So there is less to go wrong by using a third party device to achieve DLNA functionality. How does adding another device mean there is less to go wrong? What options and how much?

        I was just letting people know that they are missing a feature that has become common place.

        • terrys on 20/03/2018 - 18:01

          There is less to go wrong in the amplifier - the whole point of an amplifier is that you then add discrete components, each engineered for the task they perform. If I choose to buy an amplifier, I do so knowing it doesn't come with an attached turntable, cd-player, cassete deck and speakers. Nor does it come with a monitor. In the same vein I don't particularly see the addition of the extra circuitry with commensurate potential for noise, earth-loops ect merely to provide a function that is not in anyway a necessary part of amplifying is a particulary worthwhile feature, given that most discrete components I would attach to such an amplifier would, were they capable of utilising a network media source one was desirous of amplifying, have a network connection already.
          I was just letting people know it was no big thing.

  • omblygombly on 20/03/2018 - 10:41

    I bought the tx sr333. It also has bluetooth and a couple of extra hdmi inputs.Comes with a 3 year warranty. Great amp. Only fault is it only runs at 60 watts per channel, but that's ample for my requirements. Any questions. feel free to ask.

    • terrys on 20/03/2018 - 13:27

      That's only twice as loud as 6 watts…
