by Marshall Chase Onkyo's TX-NR818 home theater receiver is an audio and video workhorse. Its THX® Select2 Plus™ badge of certification means it can reproduce riveting, accurate movie sound that'll have you glued to your TV screen. You also get the latest surround sound options, including Dolby® TrueHD and DTS-HD™ Master Audio, two high-resolution formats found on many Blu-ray movies. The 'NR818 uses Onkyo's WRAT (Wide Range Amplifier Technology) and a high-current power supply to deliver dynamic, punchy sound that stays clean even at higher volume levels. Amazing video quality is at the dual core The 'NR818 boasts two fantastic video processors that work together to deliver superlative images. The HQV® Vida™ circuit upscales analog content to 1080p. And the Marvell Qdeo™ chip adds a crisp finish to the signal. Eight HDMI inputs — including one in front for easy access — let you connect all your high-def equipment. Plus there's ISF (Imaging Science Foundation) video calibration to dramatically improve picture quality. Each video input source is independently calibrated to achieve the best possible performance from your connected HDTV. And let's not forget that there are two HDMI outputs to connect to your TV and projector. But movies, video games and TV are just the beginning. Ready to entertain you Just plug your iPod® into the front-panel USB port to get the beat started. This connection delivers a digital signal directly to the 'NR818's superior processor so your music sounds awesome. Use the Ethernet port or the optional Onkyo Onkyo UWF-1 Wi-Fi adapter to connect the 'NR818 to your broadband home network and you'll get easy access to the music files stored on your networked computers. Then dive into thousands of Internet radio stations — so you can enjoy entertainment from every corner of the planet. Your potential playlist just expanded exponentially. Want more? You also gain the ability to stream music from Internet services like Pandora® Internet radio, Spotify®, Sirius/XM® Internet radio, Rhapsody® and more (may require registration and subscription fees). What would you like to do with seven channels? Most home theater setups are 5.1-channel, but the 7.2-channel TX-NR818 offers ways to experience even greater wraparound realism. You can drive a pair of back surround speakers placed in the rear of your room to create greater spatial accuracy: get ready to duck when a mortar round screams overhead and explodes behind you. Or use those channels for "height" speakers, so when the incoming rounds start to fall, you may want to take cover. If your front speakers have dual sets of connectors, you can re-assign these two channels and "bi-amp" the speakers — doubling the power they receive is a great way to get every last ounce of performance from them. Or there's always the convenience of using those surround channels to play music on the deck speakers while the kids continue uninterrupted gaming in the theater room. User-friendly features The 'NR818 comes equipped with Audyssey® sound-shaping tools to automatically balance and equalize the sound based on your room's acoustics. Audyssey Dynamic Volume maintains optimum dynamics, so gone are the commercial sponsor's surprise sonic attacks. Onkyo's InstaPrevue™ system lets you see thumbnails of digital video sources on-screen, taking out the guesswork of which HDMI source is plugged into what port. You also get a graphic user interface to make control easy and intuitive with overlays on your TV screen. And you can download a free app to use your iPhone® and Android™ devices as powerful Wi-Fi® system remotes. Learn about the ins and outs of HDMI connections at the Crutchfield Learning Center.

Fantastic receiver Written By Nathan, Utah on Monday, August 25, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Best bang for the buck I've ever had in a receiver before. 7.2 channels expandable to 9.2 with external amplifier. The sound is fantastic. Also love the Audyssey MultEQ XT32. It may be 2 years old, but it still holds up well against todays receivers minus HDMI 2.0 and features such as Dolby Atmos. For the price, nothing else comes close. Pros: Sound quality is excellent Many options for sound configuration processing up to 9.2 channels with external amp. Audyssey MultEQ XT32 room calibration Plethora of inputs Video processing looks great. Upscale any input to 1080 HDMI. Cons: Runs a bit hot. May contribute to reports of HDMI board failure. No Audyssey SubEQ No video out on Zone 2. On the large size. Doesn't fit in my entertainment center.
Great Receiver Written By CouchPotato, Swansea, IL on Friday, August 01, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great Receiver, does everything I want. High Quality. Awesome sound!!!! Pros: Easy to use, Great Sound, Lots of Inputs and Outputs, High Quality, Blows away my old Yamaha. Cons: None
Great Product Written By Rob, Washington DC on Saturday, January 25, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Overall, a great receiver. Pros: Excellent Sound, heavy duty, well-built, access to net apps like Pandora Cons: No bluetooth or wireless built in. Onkyo UWF-1 wireless adapter is worthless, making ethernet connection your only practical choice for internet connectivity.
Excellent Quality, not for beginners. Written By rodtice, Senoia on Saturday, January 18, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The sound of this receiver is clearly several steps above my current Sony 1010, I really puts out a pure signal to my DefTech 8080 system. What it doesn't excel at is simplicity. If your willing to put the time in to tweak the system literally over weeks, its a great system. You can use the the Audyssey MultEQ® XT32 and get 90% but the last 10 does take a while. Pros: Great power, excellent quality of build and sound. Cons: Not simple, needs a backlit remote
Onkyo TX-NR818 Written By sjstereo, michigan on Thursday, January 16, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Surround set-up is a snap and sound is great. Not so easy to set-up and use multi-channel zones. Remote is near useless for second room use -- blew out ceiling speakers as the sound level was inadvertantly set too high, even though system cap of 70% was set. Was trying to get set quickly for holiday parties and did not take the time to read the 150+ page manual to learn intricacies. Once the remote apps were loaded, it was much easier to control volume and net radio selections in sevond zone. The net link for both wired and wifi went out...could not find an eay fixin the manual. Tech support suggested unplugging the system for 5 seconds and that did the trick. Nice selection of net radio whrn the links are working. Lots of options with this system, though it is now discontinued. Hear the relacement models offer less, so happy i got it when i did. Tech help at Crutchfield is phenominal, worth any small premium you may have to pay. Onkyo help was okay, but not as friendly. I am a huge fan of Crutchfield and will look there first for any future needs. Pros: Multi-channel speaker and zone options Easy speaker surround set-up Lots of inputs Net Radio Selections Android and iPhone apps make it easier Cons: No HDMI pass thru when power is off Manual is download only Zone control from remote lacking Controls, remote, display not intuitive without reading the manual
Onkyo TX-NR818 Written By DaveW, Orland Park, IL on Thursday, January 16, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Works better than I thought it would. WHen I buy my next tv, I will look at this brand again. Pros: Easy Setup Cons: None so Far.
Onkyo 818 Written By Toniegm, LA,CA on Wednesday, January 08, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is my first THX and Onkyo brand receiver and it is AWESOME. I have 4 Bose satelite, 1 JBL center and JBL 12" powered subwoofer speakers. Sound is so awesome cool that we now enjoy more in watching movies and listening to music. As always, Crutchfield's amazing customer service made all my purchases so smooth. I have been a Crutchfield happy customer for 15 years.
Onkyo TX-NR818 Written By Anonymous, Media, pa on Saturday, January 04, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have had this unit for a few weeks now. Still working on the settings, but nearly set up. Plenty of power and the set up options are extensive. Unit is robust and pushes clean power to my 7.1 set up. You can't beat the price break of the outgoing model! Pros: Set up options are extensive. Remote may replace my harmony one as an universal remote. Cons: Display screen for a unit this size is underwhelming and below average.
awesome Written By Don, Mi on Tuesday, December 31, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) top notch reciever-absolutely love it Pros: everything Cons: its big and heavy-but sooooo worth it
Onkyo TX-NR818 Written By Steve, Mc Sherrystown, PA on Monday, December 30, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Set up was fairly easy. Sound quality is great and the picture is fantastic. I would recommend this receiver to everyone Pros: Easy to setup . More than enough inputs The labels supplied buy crutchfield helped for hookup Cons: A paper manual would be better as a referance
my 3 week review ONKYO TX NR 818 Written By shaun, jacksonville fl on Friday, December 27, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I will rate this with 5 stars, even though there is some things I don't like about it. the few things I don't like are as follows(1) no 12 volt trigger for main use, only for zone 2 and 3. (2) no back lit remote. I have had it 3 weeks and now the things I like (1) the video processor, didn't expect it , but it has mad a big difference in color and quality of my movies( the colors is just amazing) ..(2) AUDYSSEY XT 32....WOW is all I can say, after my 1st run of it..didn't think I was really impressed, after listening to some stuff in a few movies, my system came alive...bass soooo deep all around tonal balance, now movies sound so much better, im pretty impressed now that I have had some seat time, so happy I bought this( replaces a Yamaha HTR 5890) ..this has been well worth the money spent...and BTW no HDMI issues ..has 2 built in maybe 4" fans and has not even came close to getting hot enough for them to come on( not in a enclosed cabinet) do have gear on top, but have a 2" space between for good air flow....I will try to do another review after a few months, hopes this helps you decide Pros: features for the money, audyssey xt 32,video processor Cons: no 12 volt trigger for main, only triggers for zone 2 and 3... No back lit remote
Onkyo TX-NR818 Written By John, Silver Lake, OH on Thursday, December 19, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Owned for about 2 weeks now. So far so good. Nice surround (I'm set up for 7.1). Setup is easy if you take the time to follow along in the owners' manual. The easiest way to do that is by having a laptop with you, because the manual is on a disc only, no booklet. Pros: Power, Features, Looks, Ease of hook-up and set-up. Cons: none yet, but I hope this newer construction model is better than my previous model, because the HDMI board went out after less than 3 years. Fingers crossed!
My Onkyo experience Written By Mauricio, Fair Oaks, California on Tuesday, December 17, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I've purchased 3 Onkyos' in the past, every purchase has proven better every time. My last purchase is an Onkyo TX-NR818, excellent a/v. I love the clarity and separation of the sounds, I also like the way Onkyo calibrates the unit with the special microphone, I'm very happy with my receiver, although I must say I had to return my Onkyo TX-NR818 because the first one had a problem when I was playing music the unit was making a popping sound between tracks, or when watching tv the popping sound was between commercials or back the regular programming, I believe it was damaged by UPS in the way they handle packages, the carton was broken and the inside foam ends were also broken. But Crutchfield has a 60 days return policy and they exchanged it for me. Great experience. Pros: Priced right, the people at Crutchfield are very good helping. Cons: None yet
Excellent receiver Written By AK, Boston on Sunday, December 15, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Agree with previous reviewers on what a great system it is. I have a BluRay, HDTV, CD player, FIOS box, tuner and hard-wired internet. We use the Net input a lot and it streams Pandora & Spotify easily. I have a 5.1 setup in the family room (small room 11x12 and odd shaped) and a 2 speaker setup in Zone 2 which works superbly. Easy setup (plug everything in, turn it on, run Audyssy, enjoy ). Had it about a month and zero issues so far. Pros: As everyone says, Crutchfield service that really helped me put together an entertainment entire system (receiver, surround, speakers, cables, univ remote...) Could probably buy everything online and save a few $100 but didn't want to risk faulty products & poor service. Cons: - Remote is not backlit. Can be annoying especially if you watch movies in a dim room. I upgraded to a Harmony Touch universal remote that I LOVE (and solves this problem entirely & replaced all my other remotes) !!! - It is BIG & sticks out of my entertainment center even more with all the connections in the back.
Outstanding Receiver!! Written By SteVeW, Bremerton, WA on Saturday, December 14, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Awesome receiver. The calibration, power and other features made this be a single point upgrade to multiple features of my home theatre. Great price, and fast shipping! Pros: Ease of use Features Power Audyssey Cons: Heavy
good sound receiver Written By Al Z., Tucson, AZ on Friday, December 13, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Oh, yes! The sound is worth the effort of setting this monster up. I'm old -- digital electronic equipment baffles me. I used to keep up with changes in audio equipment during the 60s through the 80s, the BAM! It started happening too quickly and I started slowing down too rapidly. Throw in all the video stuff and I became an anachronism. HOWEVER...I persevered and got my digital cable, stereo music, turntable, DVR, VHS tape, set top box, etc., etc. all up and cookin'. It took me a couple of days on and off without any available Crutchfield help (aggravation cool-down periods included), but it's done (except the Wi-Fi thingie) and I can now heartily recommend this receiver. I probably should've called Crutchfield for help, huh? Pros: The sound produced bt this receiver is the best I've ever heard in my own home. TV, radio, audiophile vinyl, you name it...it is awesome. Cons: Hooking things up was very aggravating for me, especially because there was no owners manual included other than a quick start guide. I wish these doggone companies would return to respecting their customers enough where they will print and include manual with a purchase. Sheesh already!
Great receiver Written By Mike, Tucson, AZ on Wednesday, December 11, 2013 It's a great midline receiver. I'm running it as a 9.2 with and external amp. And works great for the mid sized room it's in. The kids love the sound when playing games and turns a movie into a theater.
Awesome! Written By WayneC, Florida on Saturday, December 07, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) My 7.1 surround system just woke up! Cannot begin to compare how the 818 has awoken my speakers and complete system with much more detail and balanced sound than from my old Onkyo TX-SR804. While my 804 was no slouch and is still going strong (going to the bedroom to upgrade my current surround system there), this new 818 sounds amazing in comparison. Set up was time consuming but well worth the improved sound accuracy. Did not know what I was missing! We'll see how it stands up over the long haul. If my 804 is any indication this 818 should keep providing amazing surround and stereo sound for many years to come. Pros: Clean, crisp clear sound whether surround or stereo and whatever the source, blu-ray, roku/netflix, etc. Cons: None so far.
Onkyo TX-NR818 Written By Marvin, Raleigh, NC on Wednesday, December 04, 2013 I purchased the Onkyo TX NR818 due to its mass amounts of features it has at this sale price. I dare you to find another receiver at this price with something even close to these specs. Setting and configuring up is a breeze using the onscreen guide. I love the dual HDMI output, one goes out to my projector while the other output is to a monitor.The Audyssey 32XT is great for self-calibration (i then fine tune with SPL meter). Although the receiver has Dual Subwoofer outputs, the version of Audyssey on this receiver does not have multi subwoofer calibration. My setup consists of a 7 channel external amp powering my Klipsch Reference speakers and dual PSA subwoofers. This Onkyo receiver is capable of outputting 9.2 surround sound (Either Wide OR Heights but not both) with an external amplifier. I had an old pair of Polk tower speakers so that I can test out 9.2 (Front Wide mode). The Onkyo is powering my front main speakers. If your room is wide enough having front wide speakers really opens the front sound stage! The remote buttons are laid out nicely. I love the onscreen volume and audio information since my receiver is in a closet. The remote app on my Android phone, is a neat option. I have my Onkyo hardwired to my network so everything is instant. When connecting an iPod via USB, I am able to use my phone like an iPod to view and play songs (same for online radio). Overall I am one happy camper and do not see myself upgrading in the future. Pros: Looks, Power, Inputs, Outputs, Features, 9.2 audio processing capability, network ready, remote Cons: None
TX-NR818 Works Great - Does what I want Written By Eric, Livermore, CA on Sunday, November 17, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Overall, I really like the receiver. I upgraded my old unit (ONKYO TX-SR805) 1) Because I wanted the ability to run an output to my TV or to a projector when we watched movies. 2) I wanted the HDMI pass through when the unit is off, and 3) I wanted to use my home network to play music from my phone or my computer through the stereo. On all three counts, the receiver worked very well. The sound quality is very good. There is plenty of power and I can Bi-Amp my front speakers (Polk RTi-A9). Getting an app for my Android (Motorola Atrix) to control the receiver and select music on my computer is great too. I haven't had any trouble with the unit. (except that the first one that I received was defective and had no sound output whatsoever - it almost seemed like it wasn't fully assembled in the factory - Malaysia) The only thing that is a little funny is that when switching from one source to another, or when turning the unit off to use the pass through HDMI, there is a delay of a second or three. I guess that is normal (???), but I have an uneasy feeling when the delay is there. It always switches over after a few seconds. (I had a Marantz unit that didn't fully switch frequently so I returned it and bought this Onkyo unit.) I've been very happy with the TX-NR818. Pros: HDMI Passthrough, Two HDMI Outputs, Networking music from my computer. Cons: Slight delay when switching sources or to HDMI Pass-through
Gaylord Written By Gaylord, Sevierville, TN on Monday, November 04, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Had adenon av receiver for a week . It overheated twice. I sent it back and obtained the onkyo 818. The onkyo wighs 50 pounds. It has a giant transformer. Electronics are not as good as transformers to make the wattage.This is why old fluorescent fixtures lasted longer than the new ones . The onkkyo 828 weighs 40 + pounds.They are moving toward electronics . You figure it out. Pros: Clear sound. Easy to use Cons: None
onkyo tx-nr818 Written By bob, southbury ct. on Tuesday, October 29, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I am very happy with it Pros: i have a 1979 onkyo receiver which I bought new and my new one is all I had hoped it would be .
Onkyo AVReceiver TX-NR818 Written By Larry R, Moody, AL on Saturday, October 26, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Probably a Great product after I get through all component setups. Not there yet. Pros: The Turner Sounds great through the speaker system, Have not yet been able to set up the audio with my satellite box and TV. Cons: Manual not completely clear on how to proceed with the initial setup and recommendations. Printing for the different components not easy to read for older people.
GREAT RECEIVER!!!!!!! Written By Big Dan, Spring Grove IL on Tuesday, September 24, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I love Onkyo products!! The salesman recomended this to me as the best bang for the buck!!! It really makes my Klipsch reference speakers come to life!! Very clean power!! This doesn't get hot like my Sr 706 did!! The built in cooling fans are awesome!! I LOVE THE NETWORK CONNECTION SO I CAN LISTEN AND WATCH ANYTHING OFF MY NETWORK HARD DRIVE!!! RECOMEND THIS 1000% ITS A MUST HAVE IF YOU NEED POWER!!! Pros: AWESOME PRODUCT!! ONKYO IS ONE OF THE BEST IN MY BOOK!! Cons: NONE!! UNLESS YOU CAN LIFT 50lbs! LOL!! But weight means POWER!!
Nice upgrade from my 806 Written By TimP, Morgantown, WV on Sunday, September 15, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I like this receiver a lot. Big improvement on my 6 year old Onkyo 806, which I also liked. Seamlessly handles wifi, streams Pandora in a very transparent way, very good at music and very good at 5.1 with the potential to add more speakers. I am very happy that I bought it. Pros: Easy to set up, very good sound, good wifi links with the extra adapter. Cons: Heavy.
Nice!! Written By Jordyn, Williston, ND on Friday, September 13, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Easy to navigate through the settings and sounds great. Cons: As with most receivers....the remote.
Onkyo TX-NR818 Written By Anonymous, 29906 on Sunday, August 25, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) great
The Onkyo 818 is a Winner! Written By RAB, Chesapeake, VA on Tuesday, August 06, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I am thoruoghly impressed with the 818. It has a wow factor. I bought it to replace my 808. The picture quality is superb and the sound is amazing. Although I only have a 5.1 set up, this unit was worth the investment. I have a wireless sub that works without a hiccup. The Bluetooth capability is a nice addition as well as the availability of the 8 HDMI inputs. The only drawback is that the remote is not backlit. I think that this price represents a fair price point for this receiver. I was somewhat skeptical about buying another Onkyo receiver at first, because the sound went out on the 808 and the Onkyo people were not too helpful, but the service and help I received from Crutchfield is worthy of note. They were always easy to contact and willing to help with all of my questions from brand comparisons to set up. Pros: Picture and sound quality, easy set up, the fact that the unit runs cool and its price make this an attractive receiver. Cons: The remote is not backlit which is somewhat hard to understand given the price and quality.
Onkyo does it again and Crutchfield delivers the price! Written By Steve H, DFW area, TX on Saturday, August 03, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) My 2+ yr old TX-NR808 quit playing sound (can you believe it?) Onkyo agreed to fix it out-of-warranty, but I had heard repairs take months(it was only 3 weeks) and so I ordered this one to replace it, thinking I could use the old one at our lakehouse or sell it on Amazon, meanwhile upgrading to the TX-NR818. There were a few upgrades I was interested in; Bluetooth playback from iphone, the new Audessey speaker setup, 2 more inputs. Crutchfield had the best price with free shipping and the Bluetooth addon included free, so I ordered from them. They got it two me in a couple or three days (great service, as we expect now) and I got it hooked up in short order as I had marked all my previous inputs and outputs. I ran the Audessey speaker setup once I got the baby to be quite for long enough and was done. My son said it "is the best surround sound I've ever heard". This was playing thru a Bose Acoustimass 5.1 system. Almost identical to the TX-NR808, which I loved and with the upgrades, it's super. This review is off the cuff, from memory, I didn't go back and verify all the terms and feature names I used. Pros: Great sound. Networkable. 3D compatible. 8 hdmi inputs, 2 out. Bluetooth playback from iphone. Zones 2 & 3 for playing back different media to different areas Cons: Networking can be difficult. First attempt to sign in to streaming radio, would not accept spelling selections (letters,etc)
Great Reciever Written By BS, Holly Springs, NC on Monday, July 29, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Awesome receiver. This thing has plenty of power to fill a 30 foot by 20 foot room with amazing sound. I currently have it hooked up in a 7.2 configuration but plan to shortly add another amp to drive channels 8 & 9, can't wait to hear 9.2 sound. Tons of features and adjustments which to me is a good thing to be able to adjust precisely how I want it. Pros: Tons of features which for me is a good thing. At the same time if you want simplicity you can go through the basic setup and you'll be fine right out of the box. Cons: None yet
Fantastic product Written By JBM, Stamford, CT on Monday, July 08, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I've put this system through the ringers yet, fully, but what I have done with it, it has performed beautifully. Fantastic receiver. Can't wait to push it to new limits. Pros: Lots of inputs Cons: Wish the remote had more lighted keys. This device is HEAVY.
Sorry Written By Andy, Atlanta, Georgia on Monday, July 08, 2013 Friends, you will forgive me. But to understand how much this receiver is inferior to the other in sound quality and equal in value, they must listen together. I did not, therefore suffered minor costs. I wish you to avoid my errors. Best Regards Andy
Worth every penny Written By Chris P, Pittsburgh, PA on Monday, June 24, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Got the unit a couple weeks ago and I am totally happy. Easy to set up. Great features. My video looks better than ever. Pros: Set-up. On screen display. Cons: NONE!!!!
Onkyo TX-NR818 Written By ChuckN, Plano TX on Friday, June 21, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) A superb AVR with decent power and loads of functionality. Pros: Good video instructions. Powerful enough to push speakers that are power hunger. crisp sound and clear and vibrant video colors Cons: No SACD analog multi-channel connection for my old SACD player.
Onkyo TX-NR818 Written By Brett, Cincinnati, OH on Wednesday, June 19, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have owned this receiver for a couple of weeks and am thoroughly impressed. It supplies loads of crystal clear sound to my 5.1 speaker system and is intuitive to use. I bought it to replace an old Onkyo receiver that wasn't exactly what I had hoped it would be, but early signs are this might be all I will ever need. It is the receiver I've always wished I could get. Pros: Loads of power and crystal clear sound, very clear display, online features are great, this is an awesome workhorse. Cons: None.
Onkyo 818 Written By Bill A, Boone ,NC on Sunday, June 02, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Fantastic sound w/good front and rear separation. Set up equipped some help from Crutchfield which was good..
TX-NR818 Written By Ken, Vero Beach, FL on Monday, May 27, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought the 818 to replace my 806 which was having the HDMI board capacitor problem. One of these days when I get time, I will try to relace the capacitors and if this fixes my 806 problems, I'll give the 806 to my son. The 818 was a piece of cake to install as the replacement. I am very pleased with the 818's performance and ease of installing. The price from Crutchfield for the TX-NR818 was also very attractive. Pros: Easy to set up. Cons: A tad heavy to comfortably lift and postion on a glass shelf which my entertainment center has.
A good A/V receiver. Written By TomE, Olympia Fields, IL on Friday, May 24, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I am still trying to figure out how to use. I replaced a previous Onkyo unit, I was looking for more updated unit.. I miss the switched outlet for my powered subwoofer and speakers, I have to do that manually through a power strip. The Manual is on a CD which is slowing my learning process. Unit performs well as with all new electronics there is a learning curve. I know if I have a problem Crutchfield will help. I recommend the unit for a home audio/video system. I probably would give the unit 5 stars, but haven't finished using all the features. Pros: Remote is easier to hold than my previous Onkyo remote. Onscreen setup is really convenient and easy to use. I have no had a chance to install the wireless adapter. Cons: No switched power outlet. No printed manual.
Great receiver Written By Anonymous, Wichita, ks on Sunday, May 19, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Excellent upgrade from the TX-SR806 Pros: 3-D ready and pass through Cons: None yet
Onkyo TX-NR818 Written By Jose, San juan, PR on Thursday, May 16, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Excellent, great sound
Onkyo TX NR818 Written By Pete P, Maine on Monday, May 06, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I am impressed with this receiver. With 135 watts output per channel, this unit rocks the man cave. Simple hook-up replacing the Sanyo unit that had expired-and the difference was amazing. Once I ran the initial set up with the Audyssey speaker optimizing system, I began to experience surround sound like never before! My Polk Audio speakers have never sounded so good. My powered sub is pumping out base that I have never heard from it before, really enhanced the audio available from some of my blu-ray discs. Exceptionally pleased, and as usual, the service and prompt shipment from Crutchfield remains unmatched. Pros: Easy replacement and integration into my system; exceptional audio... Cons: None
Onkyo TX-NR818 Written By LarryO, Chattanooga, TN on Wednesday, January 23, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Superior receiver. Programmable inputs are nice. I have it connected to Polk Monitor Series 50, TSi200 and CS20. Great sound that will knock you out of the room if you like. Down low it is crisp and clear. Runs a little warm but that's what 135w/channel will do. It's the upgrade I've always wanted. Pros: configurable, nice on-screen menus Cons: none
Onkyo TX-NR818 Written By Anonymous, Mobile, Al on Monday, December 31, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This reciever is AWESOME! it is like a tank, I need to say no more!!!! :) Pros: I recommand this to anymore!
Onkyo 818 Written By Tom, Ohio on Thursday, December 06, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I've had this unit for a few weeks now and haven't found any faults that are worth mentioning, with the possible exception of input choices as I have several component video units that seem to be over-ridden by the HDMI inputs that are assigned to the same input. It is entirely possible that both inputs can be used by switching between them and I just haven't taken the time to figure out how to switch them yet. I'm coming from two aged receivers (Denon AVR2500 and Yamaha 5590) and for power output, clarity, separation, and control this Onkyo unit does not disappoint. I found the GUI to be intuitive, the remote easy to use, and the USB and Net features function well. Phono input is a bonus for my Denon player. The Audessy 32 sounds truly remarkable IMO, and really is a nice improvement to my setup. I will mention it took several attempts at updating firmware BUT, I'm using the Onkyo wifi USB plugin for net service (which I don't recommend, BTW) and after a couple of failed updates it finally updated. I did have to run Audessy again and adjust my input levels again but it wasn't a big deal. Overall, so far I am very happy with this unit and after struggling for weeks over the Denon 3313, NAD 757, Marantz 6007 or this unit all at the same price, I believe for my intended use of music and home theater with tons of flexibility, I made the right choice. Pros: Tons of power, nice construction, incredible array of options, good GUI, decent remote, good looks, Audessy 32. I'm a believer that high power and low frequency = high weight, and at 40 lbs this unit fits the bill too. Have a nice cabinet or very sturdy shelf...... Cons: Updating firmware may take a few attempts, but not a big deal really. Net services seem flakey BUT this could be caused by the wifi USB adaptor I'm using, which I don't recommend. Haven't tried a hard wired connection yet.
The Journey Written By hardingi360, Anacortes, WA on Saturday, September 22, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I originally purchased a Denon from Diymicro but it came in a seriously beat up, previously opened box. They were pawning a demo off as a new unit on me so I sent it back. I noted that Denon had gotten seriously lighter over the years and wondered about the sound quality. Low frequencies and high power equal big heavy components. I went back to researching and decided on the Onkyo. This is a heavy unit with two cooling fans internally which is very good since a common complaint over the years with Onkyo is heat. Hooking it up was relatively easy. I found the Audyssey MultEQ XT32 set up using eight test locations to be a really good way to go. I don't know how it manages to do it but it fills the entire room with a very nice balance of sound. The power is good and the processing automatic and seamless. I don't find the app for the itouch to be as intuitive as advertised but works well now that I am familiar with it and it is very handy for zone two. I am very happy I took the extra time and went with this unit. Crutchfield is a good reliable business partner. I can't say the same for Diymicro. Pros: Excellent sound and processing. It works automatically and there is little need to monkey with it. Connectivity with the internet is a giant leap forward. Internal cooling fans cure the heat build up issues in my cabinet and will extend the life span of the components I am sure. The remote control actually works without forcing an additional expense to go with a Harmony or similiar. Nothing more frustrating than dumping this kind of money and finding a cheasy remote to go with it. Cons: The remote control app for the itouch was not "intuitive" as advertised. Maybe I am not their ideal test subject but I found it tricky to learn. Once I got it figured out though it is a great way to go for zone two.
My Third Onkyo AV Receiver Written By JimOD, Trent Woods, NC on Friday, July 13, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) It is hard to add anything to all the wonderful reviews on the Onkyo TX-NR818. For me in my home theater it did everything and more that I wanted. This is my 3rd Onkyo AV Receiver that I bought from Crutchfield. It's funny, but it works out that I bought one every 5 years of the same basic model but upgraded. For me, I have a Panasonic 3D projector. My older Onkyo would only pass 3D on one channel. This unit has 8 HDMI inputs and 2 HDMI outputs. Wow. No problem with all my inputs. I use them all with remote switching. This HDMI switching device is everything I dreamed of. My last one only had 3 HDMI inputs. It upgrades the picture noticeably to 1080. It is capable ot upgrading almost 4X that to 4K. Sony now makes a projector that is capable of 4G and I have read a review of a AVS member that has that setup and it is outstanding according to him. But the Audyssey Dynamic EQ 32 really puts it over the top. It comes with a mic and you need a camera tripod to automatically tune your speakers. I could not believe it but it told me my center speaker which was no slouch was unacceptable and it could not go on. I switched that speaker in the system and where ever is put is Audyssey turned it down. I researched and bought a Polk CS20 from Crutchfield and Wow. It is like magic. My whole audio theater experience changed pleasingly for the better. I have no idea how they did it and I have two subs that came into their own. Check out reviews at AVS and Amazon. Pros: Excellent buy. Cons: None yet.

Wainwright looking to find form in finale vs. Bucs
Cards ace has 5.29 ERA in August; Locke on hill for Pittsburgh
Adam Wainwright hasn't quite been the same pitcher he was before the All-Star break. But he will still carry a 15-inning scoreless streak against the Pirates with him to the PNC Park mound on Wednesday.
Wainwright will get the ball against Jeff Locke in a matinee rubber match between the Cardinals and Pirates. The Bucs took two of three from division-leading Milwaukee over the weekend, and will try to do the same against St. Louis, which is leading San Francisco by two games for the first National League Wild Card spot and trailing the Brewers by 1 1/2 games in the NL Central.
The Pirates, meanwhile, trail San Francisco by just one game for the all-important second Wild Card spot. They'll see a pitcher in Wainwright who has given up just two runs against them in 22 innings, and both of those runs came in his first start of 2014. In addition to the scoreless streak against the Bucs, Wainwright owns a 1.00 WHIP and a 0.82 ERA vs. Pittsburgh this season.
However, Wainwright will be making his last start of August, which has been his poorest month of 2014. The 6-foot-7 righty is 2-3 with a 5.29 ERA and 1.42 WHIP in August, all of the numbers far off from his season averages.
"There are little minor mechanical things that happen to every other player or pitcher, and it's just a matter of how you correct those," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said of his ace. "I thought he did a nice job at the end of last game making those corrections and is feeling good about where he is."
Locke had an unconventional quality start in his last showing. The southpaw surrendered just two runs in six innings against the Brewers on Friday, but did so while giving up six walks and not recording a strikeout. As a pitching staff, the Pirates issued eight free passes against one strikeout that night en route to an 8-3 win.
"I don't know if I've ever before been on the winning side with those numbers," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said afterward. "Not a game plan to follow."
Pirates: Alvarez exits after making another start at first
Pedro Alvarez made his third consecutive start at first base Tuesday as he continues his transition to the right corner of the infield.
Alvarez went 0-for-3 with a strikeout before departing with a left foot sprain. He was in a walking boot after the game and will be reevaluated Wednesday.
Tuesday marked the fifth start at first base for Alvarez, a lifelong third baseman whom the Pirates transferred to first due to his throwing woes.
Cardinals: Molina expected to start rehab on Wednesday
While it won't be in a Cardinals uniform, six-time All-Star Yadier Molina is expected to return to the field on Wednesday. He'll do so for Double-A Springfield in a rehab assignment as he works back from a torn ligament in his right thumb.
The catcher worked out at the Springfield facilities on Tuesday. He has been sidelined since July 9, when he injured the thumb on a slide against the Pirates. The Cardinals could wait until Sept. 1 -- when Major League rosters expand -- to activate Molina, but they have not ruled out doing so sooner if he passes certain tests.
In his 11th season, Molina is hitting .284 with seven homers, 30 RBIs and a .751 OPS in 83 games.
Worth noting
• Andrew McCutchen, who exited Tuesday's game with left rib discomfort after colliding with the wall during a spectacular catch, is expected to be back in the Bucs' lineup for Wednesday's finale.

OGDENSBURG In 1813, the British army marched across the frozen St. Lawrence River to capture the young village of Ogdensburg in order to cut off an American threat on a crucial supply line.
On Sunday, 200 years later, children covered their ears as muskets and cannons boomed at Lighthouse Point as part of an annual re-enactment of the historic battle.
Nearly 200 re-enactors from Quebec, Ontario, New England and Northern New York participated in a weekend of events, an Ogdensburg winter tradition that stretches back more than 20 years.
For a long time, a lot of people didnt realize the War of 1812 happened right here, said event coordinator James E. Reagen.
This years events had a special guest: Mary Lou M. Peterson, the great-great-great-granddaughter of war hero Col. Benjamin Forsyth, who commanded the American troops during the Battle of Ogdensburg.
Ms. Peterson came from Colorado to watch the re-enactment.
I have never been to one before; this is a wonderful weekend, she said.
She said she began researching her ancestors exploits several years ago and was surprised by what she found.
Benjamin Forsyth was born in North Carolina, although he spent much of the War of 1812 in Northern New York. He was killed, and was buried in an unmarked grave near Champlain in 1814.
Ms. Peterson said she hopes to someday have Col. Forsyths remains exhumed and moved to his homeland in North Carolina, which was named Forsyth County in his honor in 1849.
Its just been the last few years that I really got into this guy, who I really admire a lot, Ms. Peterson said.
The Ogdensburg re-enactment group Forsyths Rifles also is named for the colonel.
Re-enactor Charles E. Abel, Ogdensburg, was a gunsmith before he retired, and was eager to try out his new muzzle-loading blunderbuss. Winter is a good season for firing antique and replica weapons, Mr. Abel said, because the lack of humidity makes it easier to keep the powder dry.
Its harder on the guys, because its cold, but its better on the guns, he said.
A small crowd of spectators watched the proceedings Sunday, including three generations of one family. Dennis J. Koerick, son Donald J. and Donalds four children all watched both of the weekends battles.
Despite the family having lived in Ogdensburg for decades, this was the Koericks first time watching the annual event.
It was great; we saw it yesterday too, and we learned a lot, Donald Koerick said Sunday. Well definitely be coming back.
Do you know how old Abraham Lincoln was during this war? asked 9-year-old Donald J. Koerick Jr. He was 3.
Making history real is what the annual re-enactment is all about, Mr. Reagen said.
Its an important event that we try to bring to life for people, so its not just on the pages of the history books, he said.

Jory Bartnickis are rare to find. In fact, there is only one known one in America. They are known for being loyal, trustful people with a sarcastic sense of humor. Making one angry or messing with their territory (friends, family) can be a deadly choice, they have a large gun collection and vigilante-style ideas for justice. They can have random jackass moments but easily snap out of when given apple pie. If you find one, hold onto it because it may be the only one you ever find.
Finding a jory bartnicki is ALOMST as rare as seeing sasquatch.

Heavy Duty Oilcloth Tablecloths: Wipe-Clean Real Fabric That Won't Peel Or Crack
Back in the day, oilcloth used to be made by coating heavier weight cotton with linseed oil, which slowly cracked and peeled with age. This method became obsolete with the advent of noncracking plastics. Sadly, what replaced oilcloth was flimsy plastic cloth. Borrowing a page from yesteryear, our heavy-duty oilcloth is still made with real fabric, so it has the weight and drape of real cloth, yet is guaranteed to last. The oilcloth's laminated vinyl finish wipes clean and will never crack or peel. Cotton/PVC or polyester/PVC. Imported.

What Our Customers Are Saying about Our Heavy Duty Oilcloth Tablecloths …
"After going through many less expensive plastic tablecloths, I finally bit the bullet and purchased two of these oilcloth tablecloths. I only wish I had done so sooner. They not only look good, but they have a nice, heavy weight to them. The table I use this on gets its fair share of use, and this tablecloth has held up to the job and still looks nice despite repeated washing, laptops being slid across the table, and everything else in between."-Sandra, Loganville, GA
"I had heard of oilcloth, but had no idea what it was until my mom bought me a Christmas print oilcloth tablecloth from The Vermont Country Store. Oh. My. Gosh! This tablecloth beats the heck out of the lousy vinyl junk I used to buy! As a mom of 5, I am not only sold on the quality of oilcloth, but also how easy it is to care for. Now that Christmas is over, I will be buying an everyday one...an Easter one...a 4th of July one...and certainly a birthday one! Very, very happy with this product."-Heather, Alameda, CA
"Love, love The Vermont Country Store's oil tablecloth. Have owned one for many years, never wears out. Ordering a new one due to color change in kitchen, and for some reason my cat started chewing on the ends of the tablecloth when wanting to get our attention....."-Kathy, Vienna, VA
"I ordered a bird oil cloth tablecloth about two months ago. I was excited because I wanted it for my picnic table on the deck. I left it outside and within a month it faded. Not, a happy camper." - Barbara Tracy, Culpeper, VA
"So far I've accummulated four of these and want more. They clean up with just a damp songe or cloth. They're hearty - don't tear or rip. Heat doesn't seem to bother them. The colors are lovely, and they don't fade. They're so durable I expect them to outlast me. It sure beats cloth that you have to wash, and the plastic ones that only last a short while. I searched everywhere for oilcloth tablecloths and couldn't find them anywhere else but here. Thank you, Vermont Country Store, for carrying these! " - Vicki, Knoxville, TN
"I am very, very happy with my Fruit tablecloth - it is 9 months old and looks new. On my kitchen table taking abuse daily, it cleans easily, has tolerated an occasional brush with hot pans and is performing as I had hoped. Does not stain either. Getting my mother one for her 90th birthday." - Bonnie , Durham, ME
"I was tired of constantly replacing my cheaply made plastic tablecloths. I remember the heavy oil cloth table cloths of my childhood and wanted to find something that would fit the bill. I had difficulty finding what I wanted until I ran across these tablecloths here online at The Vermont Country Store. They are a very heavy duty. They have a cloth backing with a glossy, heavy duty laminated finish. It just cleans up with a damp cloth. Even though these are a bit on the expensive side, it looks like they will last for years. I got the floral and plan to get more to match the seasons. " - Jannett, Rio Rancho, NM

Our good friend Kane at Evilution as of today has done what the Times and various other sites have started to do and put some content behind a paywall, but the Evilution site is rather inexpensive for what you get. Just £10 per year gets you full access to the site and you'll be supporting someone who has done a lot for the smart community. It costs money to make available content available like he does, and instead of putting ads on the site like some people do this keeps it ad-free. Quite a lot of content is still free, plus he's done some redesign too which makes content easier to find.
Head on over to http://www.evilution.co.uk to see the newly updated site. If you do sign up – and you should if you even think about taking a socket to your smart car – think of it as being the cheapest technical service manual you've ever bought.

The Hublot Classic Fusion collection introduced in 2005 is a reinvention of its Big Bang series. The Hublot Classic Fusion watch has a thinner profile for a classic look and a simplified, clean dial while promoting the classic porthole design of the case, strong hands and hour markers. Hublot Classic Fusion watches are produced using a combination of materials ensuring the brand value consistency that made Hublot famous. By melding subtle elegance with contemporary design in the creation of Hublot Classic Fusion watches add to the mystique and allure worthy of brands name. Hublot watches launched in 1980 when Carlo Crocco created the gold Hublot watch with the first natural black rubber bracelet. Hublot creator, Carlo Crocco, acquired his style of design, growing up in an Italian family of accomplished watchmakers. In 1967 he started to design his own watches and in 1980, he set up his own company, MDM Geneva. He wanted to create a watch that could transcend style and be worn by people of all types across the world, and thus the Hublot watch was born. "Hublot" is French for porthole and it is also the inspiration of the design of the watch cases, with their raised bezels and crossing pattern on the dial. |

Think about what fall brings, besides football. You get cooler temperatures. More dew and rain. And plenty of sunshine. The soil is still warm enough to germinate seeds, but the cool air invites grass to grow a strong root system. That's why fall is the best time for seeding and feeding your lawn. It will look great in the spring, and will be better able to resist weeds and summer stresses.
Your most successful seeding time is right around Labor Day. Seeding 2 weeks before or after that easy-to-remember holiday gives your new seedlings time to build strong roots. In fact, overseeding with grass seed and fertilizer in the fall can make your lawn up to 49% thicker next spring *. Scotts® has a broad range of seed products for your area that produce beautiful, durable lawns.
*2008-2009 Scotts Field Trials, Marysville, OH vs. no treatment
Once you spread your grass seed, keep the ground moist until the new grass is 2 inches tall. Otherwise, the seeds will dry out and die. Also, be sure to use the recommended spreader setting when you seed. This ensures that your new grass gets all the nutrients and moisture it needs to thrive. You can give your new grass a boost by fertilizing with Scotts® Starter® Fertilizer.
Wait a minute. Isn't fall when lawns start to shut down? Why fertilize then? Fall conditions are great for lawns. Grass roots start to store nutrients the grass will need when it wakes up again in the spring. So you want to help those roots grow by fertilizing. Your best bet is to feed once in early fall (if you are overseeding, your starter fertilizer counts) and once more about 6 to 8 weeks later, around Thanksgiving. Scotts® WinterGuard® Lawn Fertilizer is formulated to deliver the nutrients grass needs to get through the winter and come up strong the following year.
Do 2 jobs at once. As your tree leaves start to fall, don't waste time raking them. Instead, mulch them up with your mower and leave them on the grass. Apply your second feeding of Scotts� WinterGuard� after you've mulched most of your leaves, and 2 important things happen: WinterGuard will help break down those leaves and your lawn will look even better in the spring.

When the news that Mammoth had lost its bid to the state Supreme Court to review the airport lawsuit finally came down Wednesday afternoon, it was as expected as it was deeply disappointing.
The court typically only hears about five percent of the cases that reach its doors. But Mammoth had hoped to buck that percentage, arguing that the outcome of the case would negatively affect the ability of cities and counties across the state to do business with developers.
But the Court didn't see it that way.
(The Supreme Court only hears cases on appeal, and those that it believes have statewide implications).
The decision leaves the Town the onerous problem of how to come up with some $30 million, the amount of damages awarded to private-side airport developer Terry Ballas by a Bridgeport jury several years ago.
"It's sad, it's just deeply sad," said Mayor Skip Harvey. "Even though we expected it, given the percentage of cases they take, it's still very disappointing."
The fact that all of California's 58 counties and all of its cities agree with the Town's basic legal argument made him question even the justice system itself.
"An attorney friend of mine from Southern California said, "They aren't just interpreting the law, they are changing the law to something totally different than it was before," he said.
The Town has argued all along that actions and communications taken by Town staff regarding the development agreement with Ballas were not binding, unless the Town council approved those actions.
The courts, one a jury trial in Bridgeport, then two rounds through the district appellate court, and then the state Supreme Court, have said, no, the Town broke a binding agreement with Ballas when it did not allow him to develop the airport according to the development agreement conditions.
The denial of the Town's petition to the state's highest court effectively ends all possible legal options for the Town.
What's left now is how best to actually settle the case, in a manner than least impacts the town and its residents and visitors.
"We've been looking at our options all along," said interim Town manager Marianna Marysheva-Martinez. "We're The next step is to convene a group of people to act as negotiators between the Town and Ballas' Mammoth Land Acquisition corporation.
She said she was not at liberty to go into detail about who the negotiators will be but did say the group will include an "outside perspective" and "expertise in the area."
"Once we have completed an evaluation of what we have and what we can afford to pay, then we go to their side and see what they think of our offer," she said.
There are two main issues to consider, she said.
One is time. In other words, how long will the Town have to meet its obligation to Ballas?
If the money is paid out slowly, it will not be as hard on the Town as if it must be paid out quickly. If the negotiated settlement leaves the Town paying it out quickly, those years could prove more challenging.
The other is cost. How much will Ballas and the Town finally agree is both affordable to the Town and satisfies Ballas. Interest rates are another factor, too.
"It's like your household budget," she said. "It's a matter of what you can afford and how much time you have to pay for it."
She said that no matter what, the Town is not going to stop providing those services considered.
"There are legal protections for municipalities that protect necessary services," she said.
