Audio Section Video Section Network & Tuner Functions USB/Bluetooth/iPod Integration Convenience Features Remote Control Audio Section 7 Channel Amplifier: The Onkyo TX-NR727 AV receiver features a 7-channel amplifier rated at 110 watts (into 8-ohms, at 20Hz-20kHz, with 0.08%, driving 2 channels). The AV receiver's amplifier employs WRAT, 3-Stage Inverted Darlington Circuitry, H.C.P.S, and Optimum Gain Volume Circuitry for dynamic, detailed, clear sound. WRAT (Wide Range Amplifier Technology): WRAT is based around a low negative-feedback circuit topology that works to reduce signal noise and distortion across the frequency range. A "closed ground-loop circuit" design is employed, in which each circuit has a separate link to the power supply. This helps to cancel individual circuit noise and keep the ground potential free of distortion. High Instantaneous Current Capability (HICC) enables WRAT amplifiers to immediately cancel the speakers' reflex energy and instantaneously send out the next signal. The same high current better manages speaker impedance fluctuations, which can negatively affect performance. 3-Stage Inverted Darlington Circuitry: The AV receiver incorporates 3-Stage Inverted Darlington Circuitry into the front & center channels. This core Onkyo technology employs a low-NFB (negative feedback) design that makes the sound more natural. H.C.P.S. (High Current Power Supply): Under the anti-resonant cover of any Onkyo receiver, you'll instantly notice the High Current Power Supply (H.C.P.S.) transformer. With its huge, isolated power supply design and high-capacity filter capacitors, it delivers the large amounts of power necessary for reproducing the wide dynamics of movie soundtracks and the detail and clarity of your music. Optimum Gain Volume Circuitry: Optimum Gain Volume Circuitry adjusts the gain so that less than half the amount of attenuation is needed, ensuring the signal never comes close to the noise floor. This protects the signal against noise, resulting in a dramatically clearer sound. Amplifier Assignment: The 7-channel amplifier can be configured in three ways to match your type of speaker setup. Normal (7.2ch): The Onkyo TX-NR727 provides 7.2ch surround in your main listening area. You can choose either Surround Back or Front Height speakers (but not both). Front Bi-Amp (5.2ch): The Surround-Back/Front-High speaker terminals can be reassigned and used along with the Front terminals to bi-amp the front speakers, providing improved bass & treble performance. When bi-amping the front speakers the receiver is limited to a 5.2ch speaker system in the main room (no Surround Back or Front Height speakers) Powered Zone 2 (7.2ch + Zone 2): In this configuration, you can connect Front, Center, Surround, Surround Back (or Front Height), and Zone 2 speakers to the AV receiver. When Zone 2 is off, all seven channels will be used in the Main Zone. However, when Zone 2 is on, power to the two surround back (or front height) channels will be directed to the two speakers in Zone 2 and the Main Zone will receive only five channels of power. 192kHz/24-bit DACs + 32-Bit DSP Processing: This Onkyo TX-NR727 is equipped with 192kHz/24-bit Burr-Brown DACs to decode and playback high-resolution recordings with less jitter and clearer sound. The receiver also employs a powerful and highly accurate 32-bit processing DSP (Digital Signal Processor) for better surround sound reproduction. PLL (Phase Locked Loop): PLL jitter-cleaning circuit technology reduces jitter by comparing the input and output phases of the digital signal and creating an accurate clock waveform. This enhances the precision of digital signal processing and noticeably improves audio quality. Jitter-cleaning technology works both for digital signals input via HDMI and for digital signals converted from analog signals inside the receiver itself. Multi-Channel Decoding Formats: The Onkyo TX-NR727 AV receiver supports the following multi-channel (Dolby Digital, DTS, Dolby Pro Logic) decoding formats. Dolby Digital: Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital EX, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD DTS: DTS, DTS-ES, DTS-HD Master Audio, DTS-HD High Resolution, DTS Express, DTS 96/24, DTS Neo: 6, Dolby Pro Logic: Dolby Pro Logic II, Dolby Pro Logic IIx, Dolby Pro Logic IIz Note: Dolby Digital and DTS listening modes can only be selected if your audio source is connected to the AV receiver via a digital audio connection (HDMI, optical or coaxial). To enjoy true 7.1ch Dolby Digital TrueHD and DTS-HD surround sound, the receiver must be connected to your Blu-ray player via HDMI. THX Select 2 Plus Certified: The TX-NR727 AV receiver is THX Select 2 Plus certified. Founded by George Lucas, THX develops stringent standards that ensure movies are reproduced in movie theaters and home theaters just as the director intended. From early design concepts to product rollout, THX works with its manufacturing partners at each step of product development. Every detail is meticulously mapped to the THX performance standards. And THX engineers spend countless hours testing and analyzing each product for sound quality, usability and interoperability. The result of this collaborative process is a THX Certified receiver, amplifier or pre-amplifier designed from the ground-up to present your favorite movies, music, and games in 5.1ch to 7.1ch surround sound loud and clear at studio reference volumes. THX Select 2 Plus is specified for rooms where the screen-to-seat viewing distance is 10-12 feet and the room volume is 3,000 cubic feet or greater. THX Surround EX: The THX Surround EX mode further expands 5.1ch sources for 6.1ch or 7.1ch playback. THX Loudness Plus: THX Loudness Plus compensates for the tonal and spatial shifts that occur when the volume is reduced by intelligently adjusting ambient surround channel levels and frequency response. With THX Loudness Plus, home theater audiences can experience the rich details in a surround mix at any volume level. Onkyo Original DSP Modes: Onkyo's Original DSP Modes, combined with Dolby Digital/DTS/Dolby Pro Logic processing, produce more realistic, powerful sound effects for your movie and music sound tracks based on the type of content and your home theater setup. You can choose from the following: Orchestra: For classical or operatic music. Unplugged: For acoustic instruments, vocals, and jazz. Studio-Mix: Suitable for rock or pop. TV Logic: Adds realistic acoustics to TV shows. Game: The receiver offers four different Gaming modes - RPG, Action, Rock, and Sports. All Ch Stereo: Stereo sound from all speakers. Ideal for background music. Full Mono: All speakers output the same sound in mono. Theater-Dimensional (T-D): Theater-Dimensional circuitry takes the complexity out of conventional surround-sound setups and lets you experience the excitement of surround sound from as few as two ordinary speakers. Theater-Dimensional's unique multi-speaker modes let you place up to five speakers conveniently by the TV, for the most realistic virtual-surround sound possible. Direct Mode: In Direct mode, audio from the input source is output without surround-sound processing. This mode delivers pure sound with minimum sound quality adjustment and filtration. Audyssey Technology: The TX-NR727 features a full package of Audyssey audio technologies for optimal sound quality. Audyssey Dynamic Volume offers real-time volume adjustment, while Audyssey DynamicEQ improves your system's surround effects during low volume levels. Audyssey MultEQ automatically sets speakers to suit your room's listening environment and the speakers' characteristics. The AV receiver even offers Audyssey DSX which adds front speaker effects. Audyssey MultEQ Automatic Speaker Setup: With the supplied speaker setup microphone, Audyssey MultEQ determines the number of speakers connected, their optimum crossover frequencies, and their distances from the primary listening position, then adjusts each automatically. The room's acoustical properties are then measured and corrected over the listening area in both the frequency and time domain. There is a threaded insert on the bottom of the microphone so it can be mounted on a tripod for accurate listening position placement. Up to 6 listening position measurements are taken to optimize the surround effect for a broad area. If you prefer you can also setup your speaker system manually. Audyssey Dynamic EQ: Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of deteriorating sound quality as volume is decreased by taking into account human perception and room acoustics. Dynamic EQ selects the best possible frequency response and surround levels moment-by-moment as volume is changed. The result is bass response, tonal balance and surround impression that remain constant despite changes in volume. Audyssey Dynamic EQ combines information from incoming source levels with actual output sound levels in the room, a prerequisite for delivering a loudness correction solution. Audyssey Dynamic EQ works in tandem with Audyssey 2EQ to provide well-balanced sound for every listener at any volume level. Audyssey Dynamic Volume: Audyssey Dynamic Volume solves the problem of large variations in volume level between television programs, commercials, and between the soft and loud passages of movies. Dynamic Volume looks at the preferred volume setting by t he user and then monitors how the volume of program material is being perceived by listeners in real time to decide whether an adjustment is needed. Whenever necessary, Dynamic Volume makes the necessary rapid or gradual adjustments to maintain the desired playback volume level while optimizing the dynamic range. Audyssey Dynamic EQ is integrated in Dynamic Volume so that as the playback volume is adjusted automatically, the perceived bass response, tonal balance, surround impression, and dialog clarity remain the same whether watching movies, flipping between television channels, or changing from stereo to surround sound content. Audyssey Dynamic Surround Expansion (DSX): Audyssey DSX adds front effect speakers to improve spatial sound reproduction. Starting with a 5.1 channel system, DSX adds front Wide and/or front Height channels for better sound staging (although both wide and height speakers can be added, only one pair is used at a time). DSX also applies Surround Envelopment Processing to enhance the blend between the front and surround channels. Surround Parameters: The Onkyo TX-NR727 lets you tweak and fine tune specific surround sound modes to suit your preference. Dolby Pro Logic II Music Settings: While listening in the Dolby Pro Logic II Music format, there are three further enhancements you can adjust; Panorama: (broadens the front stereo image to the surround speakers to provide a wraparound effect), Dimension (allows you to move the sound field forward or backward), and Center Width (allows you to adjust the width of the center channel). Center Image: In the Neo:6 Music mode, the Center Image feature adjusts the output of the left and right channels relative to the center channel, allowing you to make the center channel more or less dominant as needed. This improves the image of the center channel, especially when the listener is off-center. Adjustment varies from 5 (nothing subtracted from the L/R channels) to 0 (L/R channel output is cut in half). Pro Logic IIz Height Gain: The Height Gain Control in Dolby Pro Logic IIz enables the listener to select how much gain is applied to the front high speakers. There are three settings, "Low", "Mid" and "High", and the front high speakers are accentuated in that order. While "Mid" is the default listening setting, the listener may adjust the Height Gain Control to their personal preference. Listening Angle: While listening in the Theater Dimensional mode you can adjust the listening angle to either Wide (if listening angle is 40°) or Narrow (if listening angle is 20°). Audio Enhancements: The Onkyo TX-NR727 receiver provides various audio enhancements to deliver a high-quality listening experience every time. CinemaFilter: Using the CinemaFilter you soften overly bright movie soundtracks. Movie soundtracks are typically mixed for a large theater (relative to your home theater) with lots of soft seats and thick curtains on the walls. Home theater settings often lack these high frequency absorbing wall treatments, making the soundtrack sound too bright. CinemaFilter accounts for this and for many movies sounds more natural at home. Music Optimizer: The Music Optimizer function enhances the sound quality of compressed music files. The Music Optimizer function only works with PCM digital audio input signals with a sampling rate below 48kHz and analog input signals. Late Night Feature: The Late Night feature limits the dynamic range of Dolby Digital recordings. Limiting the dynamic range makes it easier to find a volume that ensures the quiet sounds are not too quiet and the loud sounds are not too loud for night time listening. This allows you to comfortably listen to without the need to constantly adjust the volume to keep from waking family/neighbors. The choices are: Off, Low, and High. This feature only works with Dolby Digital Encoded software and the depth of the feature will vary based on the individual software package. Bass Management: The Onkyo AV receiver offers Tone Control and Phase Matching Bass technology to get the most bass impact out of your system. Tone Controls: You can independently adjust the Bass (30Hz) and Treble (20kHz) of the TX-NR727 from -10 to +10 dB. Phase Matching Bass: Onkyo's Phase-Matching Bass optimizes low frequencies while preserving mid-range clarity. This means that powerful bass plays back with clear vocals; it doesn't overpower them. Double Bass: You can also activate the Double Bass function in order to boost bass output even more by feeding bass sounds to the front left/right speakers, center-channel, and powered subwoofer. Volume Setup: The Onkyo AV receiver provides the following volume settings. IntelliVolume: With IntelliVolume, you can set the input level for each input (+/-12dB) selector individually. This is useful if one of your source components is louder or quieter than the others. This function does not work in Zone 2. Maximum Volume: Use this feature to set the receiver's maximum volume level. This feature is useful to avoid turning the volume too loud by mistake. You can set the Max Volume from 30-79 (max), or Off (disabled). Power On Volume: Use this feature to set the volume level when the power is turned on. You can choose between Last (same as the volume when the unit was turned off), Min (0), or 1-79. Headphone Level: With this setting, you can specify the headphone volume (+/-12dB) relative to the main volume. This is useful if there's a volume difference between your speakers and your headphones. Audio Inputs/Outputs: The Onkyo AV receiver offers a variety of analog and digital audio inputs/outputs. Assignable Digital Inputs: The Onkyo receiver is equipped with one optical digital input and two coaxial digital inputs. All three digital inputs are assignable. You can choose auto decoding , PCM, or DTS for the digital audio inputs. Auto will decode the signal in its original form (Dolby Digital, DTS, PCM, etc), PCM decodes the signal to 2-channel, while DTS decodes only DTS formatted sources. Phono Input: The Onkyo AV receiver is fitted with a Phono input and ground terminal for connection of a turntable (MM). Binding-Post Speaker Terminals: There are color-coded binding-post terminals for all speaker connections - Front, Center, Surround, Surround Back/Front Height, and Zone 2. The binding post terminals will accept bare-wire, pin-connectors, and banana plugs (single/dual). Use 4- to 16-ohm speakers. Dual Subwoofer Outputs: The receiver is fitted with two subwoofer outputs to connect dual powered subs for extra bass. Headphones: When headphones are plugged into the full-size 1/4" jack on the front panel, all the main speakers are automatically muted. However, the Zone 2/3 speakers remain on. Video Section HDMI (v1.4): The TX-NR727 has eight HDMI v1.4 inputs (7 rear/1 front) and two HDMI v1.4 outputs for connecting Blu-ray/DVD players, Satellite/Cable boxes, Game Consoles, and other video components to your TV. The front jack is fixed as the Aux input, while the six rear panel jacks are assignable to any of the other inputs. The dual HDMI outputs can simultaneously output the same audio/video signal to two TVs (video is output at the resolution supported by both TVs). The HDMI jacks can accept and switch 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p, and 4K video signals to a HDTV. The HDMI jacks will also support uncompressed standard or high definition digital video along with the following audio signals; 2-channel linear PCM, Multichannel linear PCM (up to 7.1ch), and Bitstream (Dolby Digital/DTS, etc.). In addition, the HDMI jacks are 3D, ARC, HDMI-CEC, Deep/x.v.Color, and Auto Lip-Sync compatible. 4K Pass Through: 4K Pass Through allows the Onkyo TX-NR727 to receive ultra high-definition resolution video and pass the video signal to a 4K compatible TV or display monitor. This ensures compatibility with the latest super high resolution video formats. 4K pass through is supported by the receiver's HDMI 1-4 inputs and both HDMI outputs. 3D-Ready: The TX-NR727 's HDMI v.1.4 connections will accept 3D video from your 3D-ready Blu-ray player and output the video signal in 3D to your 3D-ready flat-panel television. Deep/x.v.Color Support: The Onkyo receiver supports Deep Color and x.v.Color content, which can display a larger color range than standard-definition schemes. The result is a more lifelike, vibrant picture. ARC (Audio Return Channel): This feature allows audio to be sent from your compatible HDTV to your receiver through the same HDMI cable already being used to send audio and video to your HDTV. This eliminates the need for extra cables connected to your television. The receiver's main HDMI monitor output supports the ARC function, while the sub HDMI monitor output does not. Auto Lip-Sync: The Lip-Sync function can automatically synchronize HDMI audio and video that has gotten out of sync due to the complex digital video processing being performed by your HDMI-compatible TV. With HDMI Lip-Sync, the audio delay required to synchronize the audio and video is calculated and applied automatically by the AV receiver. Marvel Qdeo Video Chip for 4K Upscaling: The Onkyo TX-NR727 utilizes a Marvel Qdeo Video Chip for 4K upscaling and video processing. The Marvel Qdeo Video Chip produces quiet and natural video, free from noise and artifacts. Analog component/composite video signals are converted to HDMI, so you only need one cable to connect the receiver to your TV. 480i video from the receiver's component/composite video inputs and any HDMI video signal can be scaled to a higher resolution set in the menu. You can set the AV receiver to upscale analog and HDMI video to 480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p, 4K, Auto (automatically scaled to the highest resolution supported by the display), or Through (no scaling). Upconversion and upscaling is only supported by the main HDMI video output. HDMI Through: When enabling the HDMI Through function, regardless of whether the AV receiver is "on" or in "standby" both audio and video streams from an HDMI input will be output to your television, via the receiver HDMI monitor output. You can select between 3 HDMI Through functions modes. Auto: Detects the signal and automatically selects the input sources. Source: Selects the input source (BD/DVD, VCR/DVR, CBL/SAT, Game, PC, Aux, TV/CD) for which the HDMI Through function in enabled. Last: The HDMI Through function is activated on the input source selected at the time of setting the AV receiver to the "standby" mode. Front-Panel HDMI (MHL) Port: The front-panel HDMI port is designed for the connection of select mobile phones and other portable electronic devices using the new MHL standard. Simply plug your MHL compatible smartphone into the receiver's front-panel HDMI port using the HDMI cable that is included with your mobile phone. MHL allows you to display full 1080p video and still images on your HDTV with up to 7.1 channels of surround sound. Play, Stop, and other basic operations can be controlled from the AV receiver's remote control. Your connected smartphone is also recharged upon connection, and no separate power supply for the device is necessary while connected to the receiver. InstaPrevue: InstaPrevue technology provides a live video thumbnail of the available content on your devices connected to the receiver via HDMI. As a result, you can preview audio/video streams coming from up to five HDMI inputs previously assigned to input selectors on your HDMI connected TV. Even with multiple components connected to receiver through HDMI, you can easily switch between inputs as their previews are displayed on a single screen on your television. You can even use the InstaPrevue feature for Picture-in-Picture. You can specify the number of preview thumbnails, as well as their positioning on-screen. Note: If no video signal are present, the thumbnails will be filled in black. With 3D video signals, the image may not be properly rendered on the preview thumbnails of InstaPrevue. Analog Video Inputs: The receiver features four composite video inputs and one composite video monitor output. There is a single component video input and one component video output. Picture Adjust: Using the Picture Adjust feature, you can adjust the picture quality and reduce any noise appearing on your TV screen. Wide Mode: Auto, Full, Zoom, Wide Zoom, or 4:3. Picture Mode: Custom (Brightness/Contrast/Hue/Saturation/Color Temp), Cinema (for movies), Game (for gaming), Through (changes resolution), Direct (no adjustment). Picture Settings: Film Mode (video or film), Edge Enhancement (sharpens image), Noise Reduction (reduce noise). A/V Sync Control: Occasionally, you may need to manually adjust the audio/video signals that are not properly synchronized manually. Typically when using a progressive scanning DVD player. You can correct this by delaying the audio; options are 0 (no delay) to 800 milliseconds, in 10 millisecond steps. Separate Audio/Video Sources: You can listen to the audio of one input source while watching the video of another. This function takes advantage of the fact that when an audio-only input source (TV/CD, Phono, Tuner) is selected, the video input source remains unchanged.

During the Whole House Mode, stereo playback is automatically selected for all zones. The Main Zone & Zone 2/3 will play at the same volume level.

I bought this receiver about two weeks ago, I hooked it up and the receiver sounded great but it only lasted 2 days. When I went to turn it on, it would turn on for a few seconds that it would turn off. I sent it back to Crutchfield for a repacement but I have not gotten the exchage receiver yet. Pros: Had a nice sound. Cons: Burnt out in 2 days. Was this review helpful?

The new AV amp is like my old one but with great improvements.The HDMI card failure has been resolved and it does what I want. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Best receiver I've owned so far. Written By Mark D, TN on Thursday, October 09, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I've had this unit up and running for about two weeks now. The TX-NR727 is a whole lot of receiver for a relatively inexpensive price point. In fact, it's $100 cheaper than the Yamaha RXV871 that it replaced. The sound from this Onkyo is far superior to the Yamaha. I watched "the fifth element" on Blu-ray and the sound quality was breath taking in 7.1 surround sound. The difference was night and day in comparison to my previous receiver! My music CD collection also sounds much better with this receiver. If you are Into audiophile music this receiver will not disappoint. I've listened to high resolution SA CDs and Blu-Ray Pure Audio disks in Stereo and 5.1 surround sound using this receiver and again was blown away by how much better they sound on this unit.i've previously used Sony, Onkyo and Yamaha receivers to power my home theater system and the TX-NR727 is easily the best of the bunch.I highly recommend this receiver to anyone looking to upgrade the quality of the sound in their home theater system. I fully expect to be using this receiver for many years to come. By the way-I found the receiver to be quite easy to set up, it probably took me about an hour and a half to connect all of my speakers and equipment and have the whole thing up and running. I've read that some people have had problems with the HDMI board and connections, however, I've experienced none of these problems so far. Pros: The sound is amazing! Easy to set up. Lots of HDMI connections. Cons: The remote control is not Backlit. Was this review helpful?

Yes | No 4 out of 5 Onkyo TX-NR727 Written By Jim Kov, Albuquerque, NM on Tuesday, September 23, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Excellent sound, max flexibility with 5.1 sound, two additional zones, and inputs/outputs that can accommodate virtually any mix of home electronics gear, Pros: Number of input/output options. Sound quality Ease of installation Cons: Zones two and three can play only analog inputs, not digital. Required duplicating connections to get higher quality digital sound from my CD player and also allow it to be used for entertainment in Zones 2 and 3. Unit always turned on with Blu Ray input, although I wanted to have the default to be the Cable TV input. Crutchfield Tech Support did not have a solution. Discovered that receiver returns to the device selected for pass through when receiver is turned off. Set to last. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 TX-NR727 Review Written By PerryM, Chandler, AZ on Sunday, September 14, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Excellent medium power receiver. Easy to setup using the on-screen display. Number of inputs/outputs are awesome, including HDMI in and out. Pros: Powered/Unpowered Zone 2, Unpowered Zone 3. Second HDMI output. Easy to setup with on-screen display. Cons: Any HDMI input component can not be directed to the powered Zone 2. Component selector button names are terribly small and are not back-lit making it impossible to read without excellent eyesight and a flashlight. (Reason for 4-star rating). Was this review helpful? Yes | No 3 out of 5 Nice with challenges Written By Elston, Burien, WA on Sunday, September 07, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Sound is great. Really great. The usual challenges. Fortunately, this is my second Onkyo in a year (different model) so it was a little easier. But setup can be a challenge. To its credit, Denon does have good phone support. The remote control for both my Denon's has to be the worst control I have ever experienced. Not intuitive. Very small buttons. I was hoping that the application on my phone would work with both Denons. No way. I called support and they confirmed this I also hate using my receiver as the control center. With my Denon which it replaced, I could just turn on the TV and receiver and move around from DVD, TIVO, and Apple TV without messing with the receiver. Again, support told me I was expecting too much. I love the internet radio. The one downside is having to reestablish the connection when the internet hiccups. Pros: Good sound. Cons: Challenging to set up with no printed manual. Poor remote control. 1 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Yes | No 1 out of 5 Onkyo has bad HDMI switching issues Written By Marc, Grand Junction, CO on Thursday, August 14, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The HDMI board went out within just over 3 months of purchase. I live 4+ hours away from the nearest service center, and Onkyo expected me to pay for packaging and shipping even though it's covered under warranty. This is the second onkyo receiver I purchased and looking back I had similar issues with the first one regarding switching. Do your research with Onkyo and HDMI. Pros: Plenty of features Cons: Bad HDMI technology and bad warranty/customer service. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Love this Receiver Written By Mark T, Merritt Island, FL on Friday, July 25, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This replaces an early Onkyo I but that actually caught fire. This has all the bells and whistles you could want. I was nervous giving up my direct connection to Sirus XM for a connection through the internet, but it's worked out fine with very little issues concerning buffering. And plenty of power. If there's a down side, the all the black on black. It's looks super cool but unless the lights are on in the room you'll have some problem seeing the control switches. Pros: Powerful, easy set up, internet is great. Cons: Like I said above, black on black is just too dark. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

After years of owning Sony receivers I wanted to see what else was available in a quality receiver and I found it in Onkyo. Great sound and lots of power. Pros: Easy on screen programming. Cons: Quick start guide only, would love an old time style manual. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Great Product Written By Mike, Oregon on Wednesday, July 16, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought one of these 10 years ago and the upgrade is wonderful. So much easier to connect to my Blu-Ray player , Roku and DirecTv units. Pros: More HDMI Cons: With my old unit I was able to have 3 front speakers and three in the back. With this one It was front, middle and "high". 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Onkyo TX-NR727 Written By Budgeteer, Annapolis, MD on Saturday, July 12, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This unit is marvelously engineered! I began as a hifi nut in 1958 with mono Marantz tube equipment and have never been without at least hifi stereo ever since. This 7 channel receiver sets up the speaker balancing all by itself. Its 4 ohm speaker capability lets me use my vintage AR speakers and that was a necessary factor in selecting it. It is a big upgrade from a 12 year old 6 channel receiver that had no HDMI at all, and speaker balancing on that was a ticklish totally manual process. Its FM reception is good but its internet capability makes FM unnecessary. Pros: This unit is All-Pro Cons: None yet found after a month in use. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Lost in translation Written By cm, Boston on Saturday, July 12, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Perhaps one of the few AV receivers with a phono port. 0.08 TDH - not too shabby. 110 watts per channel - nice. Excellent subwoofer sound. Ease of setup could be a little easier. Don't understand Zone 1 & 2. What is their function? Pros: Once the setup process is complete, I am learning to like the system. Seemingly enough RCA input ports. Speaker/room setup works flawlessly with the packaged mic. Love the surround difference between this receiver and the my old JVC. Still learning things about it, eg., the various sound functions (orchestra, etc.) still a mystery. Do they work for all the buttons? Cons: Setup for other equipment (remote codes) can be challenging and requires some effort and patience. Also, after setting up remote codes for other equipment there is an absence of full remote use which requires use of the OEM remotes for full functionality. Some of the HDMI ports seem sloppy/lose. Perhaps because of streamlining or subtle design look, the micro switches are difficult to see on the base unit. Too bad the NET functions don't show up on the front panel when the TV is off. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

I have had Onkyo products for the last 20 years, but was without a system for the past 4 years. The equipment I had In the past was outstanding. I had a complete integrated separate system that was just out of this world for sound, then I went to an audio/video receiver because the amplifier I had was not made for a/v. That receiver was a great introduction to the world of surround sound. Because of my past experience with Onkyo, I did not hesitate to buy this new model, the TX-NR727. It provides 110 watts of awesome sound reproduction for music, movie, and television audio. It has plenty of HDMI ports for other devices to plug into, and I love hearing the sounds from the online game I play through it from my computer. It brings the game to life like I never heard it before as the game was made with surround sound audio. Overall, I give the receiver high marks for looks and audio reproduction. Pros: The sound this receiver delivers is awesome. I would give anything one day to add some really nice speakers to it one day. Cons: Setting up some of the devices such as adding optical cable to it from my computer or coaxial cable can be a tricky feat to do. It always wants to revert to the HDMI audio source. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

I purchased this receiver as an upgrade for a Pioneer receiver which I purchased almost twenty years ago at about twice the price of the new Onkyo receiver. The TX-NR727 out-performs my older Pioneer receiver in many ways. The sound is clean and crystal clear, and when the unit is complimented with a powered subwoofer, it packs plenty of punch....enough to rattle your windows. I installed the new receiver in a 20X24 home theatre and media room and it fills it with plenty of awesome sound. The separation among the seven channels is quite impressive. If you are looking to buy an excellent home theatre receiver at a price that will not require you to take out a second mortgage on your home, don't let this one get away from you...buy it now! Pros: Easy setup. Clean clear sound quality. Relatively small footprint, considering the power within. Automatic speaker and channel-balancing feature with included microphone. Cons: Have not found any as of yet. I am simply enjoying a great surround-sound experience and I am still experimenting with all the aspects of what this unit can do. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Minor problems--I hope Written By Tanqueray Ed, New Smyrna Beach, FL on Thursday, May 15, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Cannot update firm ware. Spoke to Onkyo tech yesterday and emailed photo of error message. They are working on problem. Like most everyone else, I detest having to print out a manual of around 100 pages. And, the Manual could stand a lot of improving. I have owned three Onkyo receivers and still have the last two. They don't wear out or break. Updating to keep up with current technology. Had my last (and still have) receiver around 15 years. After waiting 15 years to purchase a new receiver I hoped that Onkyo had done something about my biggest gripe. "No, still the same". My receiver is underneath my big screen tv along with other components and of course it does not get much light. I have to get on my knees and use a flash light in order to read the faint, small print on the various control buttons. What a pain. The remote is too small with many tiny buttons. They could take a look at the DirecTV control. Pros: All in all, still a great receiver. Does a whole lot of stuff that I will never use. Delete the manual pages for those items and the manual is reduced considerably. Easy enough to master. Set up is simple enough. Some things I did not see in the manual (yes, I did read it) but had to find out by experimenting with the remote. Still, would not buy anything else. Tried Sony and Yamaha receivers. They did not live very long. This unit has plenty of power for my JBL L100t3's. Cons: Manual, remote, problem with update for firmware. Need lighted buttons on receiver or at least glow in the dark, etc. 5 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Ease of connection and simple user interface added to the output quality of audio and video make this receiver worth the money. However, don't plan on connecting your iDevice directly thanks to Apple's AirPlay. Loose the fruit and this gets five stars! Pros: Easy to connect, easy to use, internal processes produce clear pictures for Netflix and other streaming video Cons: Cannot connect iPod directly through USB or any other device per Crutchfield tech support. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Tons of sound options & online music choices. Easy to use. Pros: Plenty of power. Many sound choices. Nice sound for movies and I can choose different effects for each use. Overall great receiver for music & movies in home theater. Great Wifi range. Cons: Confusing as to best settings to choose for Blu-Ray & DVD playback. Called tech support & received limited help. Technician just read from manual which did not help with my concerns. I was instructed to choose the setting that sounded best to me. Remote needs backlighting.

The higher end models from the leading brands just don't carry all these features. I would assume the NR626 NR828 and NR929 are all good choices pending your power needs. Pros: All the features.

A great receiver for the money, has plenty of connection options including WIFI and Bluetooth with a second Zone. Set up was easy and pretty much straight forward. I am using this unit with Polk Audio RTI series speakers and the system sounds great and is easy to use. Remote would be better if it had backlighting on the buttons and the buttons were spaced a little further apart. Other than the remote this is and exceptional unit. Pros: Easy on screen set up and easy to use. Great value for all the included functions.

Yes | No 4 out of 5 Up-to-date, well implemented, great sound Written By SamW, Durham, NC on Tuesday, January 28, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This model as an upgrade to my previous Onkyo receiver. The '727 adds HDMI, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth connections; all well implemented in my opinion. In terms of sound, the '727 performs very well: good imaging with surround and stereo sources. Using the included mic and my TV (attached via HDMI), setup was fairly easy to walk through. Afterwards, one can tweak the individual speaker volumes (if necessary) or apply graphic EQ to the individual channels (a feature not available on the '626, Onkyo's step-down model). After running the setup, I found that balance and imaging were great - no tweaking necessary. Later after listening to a variety of sources, I only needed to make minor tweaks to the overall sound. The included remote is basically OK, although the buttons are small and the lettering nearly impossible to read in a dimly-lit room. I don't judge a receiver on its remote. Suffice it to say the remote is serviceable, and I suggest getting a separate programmable remote (if you don't already have one) to control your home theater system. On the video side: no problems passing a 3D Blu-ray signal thru the receiver from my Blu-ray player on to my TV. Everything worked just right. I use an antenna for my TV reception, and pass the audio on to the receiver. Most current TV shows have surround sound, and the '727 sends it to my speakers flawlessly. It should do the same with a cable or sat box. I'm very satisfied with the TX-NR727. As usual, Crutchfield provided exemplary service. Pros: Great sound, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, network audio sources, flexible input assignments Cons: Serviceable remote, with small buttons and small print. 7 out of 7 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Onkyo TX NR727 Written By Steve, Sparta,NJ on Sunday, January 05, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I received the Onkyo TX NR727 2 days before Christmas and set it up Christmas Day. The delivery was great and on schedule. So far I like everything about the 727 and watched movies with my family every night and streaming music during the days. Having the option for Bluetooth from my iPad or the online options (Net feature) to stream Sirius, Pandora, or more is terrific. No wires to hookup to do so. I also wanted the 727 for. The multi zone feature since I have speakers outside. While this worked good for zone two, there are some limitations with the inputs for multi-zone use. Example: Bluetooth can not be used in multi zone. Also, zone three seems almost useless since it requires another receiver. I am no expert on this type of equipment, but this seems very silly to need a second receiver...I would not bother linking them. Oh, one other limitation, there is no external port for infrared. It seems most other Onkyos have this, but not the 727. Mine is in a cabinet and would have been nice to have the ability to plug in external infrared extender. In summary...happy so far. Pros: Great power. Built-in wifi and internet, with music vendors built in (sirius, Pandora, etc). Multi zone speaker ability (3 zones, 2 really). Bluetooth. Cons: Zone 3 option seems useless since it requires a second receiver. No Bluetooth when using zone 2. No infrared jack for external infrared. Remote control should be illuminated. 9 out of 9 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

I replaced/upgraded my old Yamaha A/V receiver. This unit has all the modern features needed for today's home theater systems, and those features are executed brilliantly. Setup is very detailed, yet simple and intuitive. Built in Wi-Fi® and Bluetooth® both connect easily and work flawlessly. The remote control is solid. The amplifiers are clean & powerful, and they deliver clear, crisp sound. The powered zone 2 option is great for a second room/outdoor listening to & viewing of a different source than the main room. The OSD/GUI is elegant and functional. There are many well-thought-out convenience features such as 'Power-On Volume', 'Auto Lip-Sync', and 'Front-Panel HDMI (MHL) Port' that serve as examples of the contemplative engineering utilized in this receiver's design. And with 4K upscaling, you have built-in compatibility with future technologies. So if you need a great A/V receiver for your home theater system with all the bells & whistles at a reasonable price, go ahead...pull the trigger on the Onkyo TX-NR727 - you will NOT be disappointed! Pros: Features, build, display, remote control, versatility, engineering, power, sound, networking, price & quality. Cons: HDMI switching could be faster. 12 out of 12 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

[ Douglas Oct 20, 2014 ] 2 answers Douglas, Sorry but I can't answer those questions since I have my receiver inputs wired and do not use wifi or Bluetooth. Joe [ JOSEPH R Oct 22, 2014 ] They are digital and yes you can listen to them in zone 2 [ MICHAEL E Oct 21, 2014 ] Is there any output that can be used as input to either PC or tape deck? (I'm in process of converting vinyl to CD/MP3 and can't find an output that I can connect to my tape deck and/or PC. Or - can the zone 3 output be used for this? [ Douglas Oct 19, 2014 ] 1 answer This receiver doesn't have a dedicated output that you can use for this. However, the 3rd Zone output should actually work okay for this. Keep in mind though that this zone is only compatible with Analog sources like phono. [ Jeff Staff Oct 20, 2014 ] Can sound from Bluetooth device (i.e., iPhone) be heard through zone 2? (I ask because zone 2 is supposedly for analog sources only). [ Douglas Oct 19, 2014 ] 1 answer We have not received any answers from other customers on your question. I would recommend reaching out to an Advisor by phone (1-800-324-9695) or online chat. They should be able to help answer your question. [ Krissy Staff Oct 22, 2014 ] Big question and I'm not really getting straight answers:( Can I run all my sound through HDMI or will I have to hook it up through digital coaxial or optics??? [ P Sep 04, 2014 ] 1 answer I forwarded your question to an Advisor and they responded with the following: Yes, HDMI is able to carry audio and video which eliminates the need to have to run separate cables. If you would like to discuss further you can contact an Advisor directly by phone (1-800-324-9695) or online chat. [ Krissy Staff Sep 05, 2014 ] Is this receiver HDCD 2.2 compliant?

All I can tell you is that I am extremely happy with this purchase and it has worked flawlessly since the purchase. Harvey [ HARVEY Sep 01, 2014 ] I have a samsung uhd hu8550 and the samsung 4k video pack. It connects via USB 3. Can I run that into the onkyo and then to the tv via hdmi arc or do I have to connect it directly to the tv? [ Brian Aug 12, 2014 ] 1 answer Brian, Not sure with the Samsung but I have the Sony 4k xbr and could not run the satellite through the Onkyo arc to the tv because of the distance and signal loss. You should be able to run it through the receiver. hope this helps [ JOSEPH R Aug 13, 2014 ] Dear, i've bought the Onkyo TX-NR727 and currently looking into buying the appropriate speakers, most likely a 5.1 system. Which type/brand would you recommend? Woudl the JBL 510 system be a good match? Thanks for your tips! [ Brecht Jul 23, 2014 ] 1 answer I forwarded your question to an Advisor and they responded with the following: I think the JBL 510 speakers would work great for the Onkyo TX-NR727. Unfortunately we do not carry that system but something similar we offer is the Polk Audio TL1600. If you would like to discuss further you can contact an Advisor directly by phone (1-800-324-9695) or online chat. [ Krissy Staff Jul 25, 2014 ] Can you play an iPod nano through the USB input? [ Steve Jun 27, 2014 ] 4 answers It should. I do not own a Nano, but ipods and Iphones have worked (this units supports the latest itunes software), so there is no reason it would not. I use a hard drive and flash drives most often on the USB port, and that works great also. U could copy your itunes to a flash drive if you ran into trouble, and then you could keep your nano handy for on the go use. [ WILLIAM B Jun 30, 2014 ] Steve, Sorry but I can't answer that since I don't have an ipod nano. Joe [ JOSEPH R Jun 30, 2014 ] Sorry, can't answer that yet. I have not finished setting up my new receiver [ JOHN R Jun 29, 2014 ] Best I can tell Ipods and Iphones do not play through the USB. Display says unsupported when they are connected to USB. Maybe someone at Onkyo can give a better answer. [ CHRISTOPHER S Jun 29, 2014 ] Does the receiver auto decode the audio format or do I need to do it manually? I have a 5.1 setup and was wondering if I play a blu-ray that is THX, will the receiver automatically read that format and play it?

[ david May 06, 2014 ] Auto is correct. You can manually override. [ DARIN B May 06, 2014 ] If the receiver is set to the Auto Surround Mode it will decode the signal for you. You can also bypass the Auto Surround Mode and select manual auto options. [ DAVID May 05, 2014 ] I don't know the answer [ EUGENE May 05, 2014 ] Can this receiver be wired with a cat6 ethernet wire? The details says a cat 5 and I want to ensure that it is compatible. [ Brian Apr 28, 2014 ] 2 answers Yes you can use Cat6, Cat5 is the minimum, Cat5e is the standard, Cat6 is overkill but will work great. [ DAVID May 05, 2014 ] I forwarded your question to an Advisor and they responded with the following: Yes, a CAT-6 or CAT-5 Ethernet cable with an RJ-45 connector on each end can be connected from your router into the LAN network input on a receiver. Both CAT-5 and CAT-6 are usable for connecting your network router to your network receiver. If you would like to discuss further you can contact an Advisor directly by phone (1-800-324-9695) or online chat. [ Krissy Staff Apr 30, 2014 ] What are the limitations with powering a 2nd set of speakers using Zone 2? For example, can I feed the source playing on the Main speakers to play on Zone 2? And can I feed an alternate source to play through only Zone 2, separate from the Mains? I've got an Apple TV with iTunes Match that I would want to play sometimes through all speakers and sometimes just Zone 2. [ Chris Apr 15, 2014 ] 5 answers Yes you can. If you have net on the main then you will only be able to play the net on zone 2. Now if you have the TV and cable on the main you can listen to the net on zone 2. Look in the manual there is a whole house setting but don't remember how to get to it. [ MICHAEL E Oct 21, 2014 ] The Zone 2 and Zone 3 sourcing is analog only. This means you will need an analog audio(RCA) input in order to have Zone 2 or Zone 3 output. If you have a digital audio source coming into the unit via HDMI, Coax Digital, or Optical it will not play through Zone 2 or Zone 3. You must install analog audio(RCA) cables in addition to the digital audio cables. A common wiring configuration would be to connect your cable/sat box to the receiver with the HDMI cable, sending both digital video and digital audio to the main zone. Then also connect the analog audio(RCA) from the cable/sat box to the receiver for the Zone 2 and Zone 3. Connecting the receiver in this fashion will allow for digital decoding (dolby digital, dts, etc.) to play through the main zone speakers for use in a home media system and also allow for simultaneous and/or separate playback of the analog signal through the Zone 2 and Zone 3. [ DAVID May 05, 2014 ] the unit allows you to use speakers A, speakers B or speakers A and B. [ JON Apr 29, 2014 ] Hey Joseph, Thanks for your reply. That's good to know but I'm still confused re: what I can listen to on Zone 2. My setup will be our Living Room as MAIN, and our deck outside as ZONE2. So, for example, if the MAIN is set to my TV via HDMI, can I listen to the same TV audio in ZONE2? Similarly, if I'm listening to iTunes Match via AppleTV via Digital Optical on the MAIN, can I also hear that same music in ZONE2? Normally I'd think yes, of course you can, but after reading the manual and some poor reviews, there seems to be some limitations with ZONE2. [ Chris Apr 16, 2014 ] Hey Chris, I use the same source to play on both main and zone 2. The drawback for me is that I use zone 2 to power 6 sets of speakers in different rooms and the system works great but you need to turn zone 2 on when you power unit on. I'm not sure if you can turn main off other than by turning volume down if not using it. The receiver works great and I would recommend it. Hope this helps [ JOSEPH R Apr 16, 2014 ] Comparing this receiver to the Yamaha 775. Description said this will stream music from a PC via wireless. However, Airplay is not "built in". So, can I stream music from my mac via iTunes over my wireless network? Also, can the powered zone B be hooked up to a speaker splitter box (8 ohm - I have two sets of 8 ohm speakers hooked to a speaker box (splits signal to up to 4 other sets of speakers? [ Jeff Dec 10, 2013 ] 1 answer This receiver has built-in Wi-Fi for listening to music from a networked PC, free Internet radio, and music services which includes support for Pandora, Spotify, Rhapsody, SiriusXM, Slacker, last.fm, TuneIn, and Aupeo! (subscription required for some services). It also includes built-in Bluetooth for wireless music streaming from a compatible smartphone, tablet, or computer (which is likely how you would stream from a computer to this unit from iTunes). [ Jeff Staff Dec 11, 2013 ] I ordered this 727 and was told that the second zone is 4ohm capable. I have bought a Russound SS4.2 speaker selector that I plan to connect to that second Zone and I have a set of Carwin Vega's that ohm out to 3.7 and 4.4 and a pair of Sony's that ohm out at 5.5 and 5.3 that I plan on running on that second Zone. Is there any problems you may foresee? [ Don Nov 27, 2013 ] 1 answer My concern here is that the SS4.2 speaker selector is designed to work with 8-ohm speakers, so I am not sure about using it with lower ohm rated speakers. I would recommend reaching out to Tech Support before connecting things up. They can help ensure that connecting in this manner won't damage your equipment.
