Strengths: Great Sound, fairly easy to set-up, I'm no technician by any means.

Weaknesses: Gets very hot even though it's well vented. I wouldn't leave it on all day unattended.

Summary: I've only had this receiver a few days and so far so good. The sound quality far surpasses my 15 year old receiver. You have sound that truly "surrounds" even with old speakers it's hard to tell one from the other. The sound is "just there." I haven't had a chance to play any movies or DVDs, just the tuner, CD, and TV. It has a nice large display so you can tell where you are at. There is still a lot to learn and a lot of features that I haven't had time to look into like the different listening zones which I think will be great. It certainly has lots of plug ins and even supports my old turntable! Overall it was a good investment and hopefully will last a long time.

Strengths: Excellent features; it has everything that you want in a receiver

Weaknesses: Runs very hot, and very heavy

Summary: I purchased the Onkyo TX-SR875 because of its features, THX Ultra2, upconversion REON VX etc. I am very happy with this receiver, so far I have encountered no problems. It is true that this receiver runs extremely hot, but I solved this problem by buying a ten dollar fan at Walt-Mart. I have kept this baby running for 8 hours, listening cd's, and the fan keeps it cool. I hope this baby continues running well, if I encounter any problems I will tell you all about it

Strengths: Tons of flexibility and LOADS of power!

Weaknesses: Can Double as a space heater!

Summary: Have been owned many Onkyo receivers over the last 20+ years and they have always offered a lot of bang for the buck! The TX-SR875 is no exception. I also looked at the comparable models from Yamaha and Denon. I wound up opting for the Onkyo for the sound quality, abundant power and especially the Reon upconverting for standard DVD's. I like the ability to plug in several HDMI devices like HD DVD and Blu-ray. I also have about 2000 standard DVD's that I have no intentions of getting rid of that benefit from the awesome upscaling from the Reon. It does get a bit toasty so I would avoid placing anything on top of it.

Strengths: onboard Silicon Optix Reon HQV video processing chip IS AWESOME,1080 p any signal via the 3 hdmi connections

Weaknesses: VERY HOT AND HEAVY.

Summary: 1ST THE bad of this receiver is that it gets extremely hot. Not to the point it will burn your house down but it will hurt your hand. To beat this i may buy a notebook cooler like i did for my playstation 3. Works like a gem. Now everything about this receiver is incredible this is my second Onkyo and it took me away from Yamaha which i used to swear by. IT sounds incredible and so crystal clear and the picture via vers. 1.3 Hdmi is incredible. Simply put it made my direct from cable Star Wars Series 1-6 in 1080I look incredible in 1080P . unbelievable smooth. This receiver is expensive no doubt but so worth it. That chip is simply amazing and im glad i went with this model instead of the 805 w

Strengths: 4 HDMI 1.3 inputs / 1 HDMI 1.3 outputHQV Reon-VX Video Processing (1080p)

Weaknesses: Slight audio sync delayReceiver does get very warm

Summary: I had considered the Onkyo TX-SR875, the Denon AVR3808CI, and Yamaha RXV2700 and found that the TX-SR875 was the best value for your money audio/video receiver. It has 4 HDMI 1.3 inputs. What sold me on this receiver was the 1080p video processing using the highly acclaimed Reon-VX chip. Because of the great reviews this receiver has gotten, it is hard to find in stock at retailers.

Strengths: most bang for your buck. Has all the features you will need for high end audio and High Def. Video

Weaknesses: heavy and hot

Summary: I purchased the Onkyo TX-SR875 because of it's extensive features. THX Ultra2, 4 HDMI inputs, upscaling of video, and it's low distortion numbers. All those feature and much less costly than a comparable Denon. I had an Onkyo receiver before and the weight and heat were issues with that receiver also. Those are minor issues considering all that the Onkyo delivers.

Strengths: Looks amazing, Has plenty of connections for anything, Loud and sounds crystal clear. Haven't had any problems with anything. Wonderful

Weaknesses: A Little heavy but its alright. Does get a little hot but it a great product.

Summary: Would recommend to anyone who loves sound in general. Great look and design. beautiful all the way. Buy this receiver today and i guarantee you will love it. Go and get it today.

Strengths: Onkyo TX-SR875 Receiver the destroyer

Weaknesses: The Onkyo TX-SR875 Receiver destroyed my lcd tv. The top of the case above the hdmi output was hot enough to fry eggs on.

Summary: The Onkyo TX-SR875 Receiver burned out the hdmi inputs to my lcd tv as soon as I turned the power on. Onkyo technical support could not offer me a solution and hung-up on me when I asked them to pay for the damage to my lcd tv. I have not been able to get any programming source to work over the hdmi connection to my lcd tv since the Onkyo TX-SR875 Receiver damage it.I have returned the Onkyo TX-SR875 Receiver to my retailer. This is the first product manufactured by Onyko that I have purchased--- and it is most certainly the last!
