Another day, another top-drawer AV receiver from Onkyo. As we've come to expect, the TX-NR818 is absolutely stuffed with features, including futureproofed 4K upscaling, DLNA and internet music streaming, but it's backed up by potent, polished (and THX-cer...

Excellent sound quality, Comprehensive connections, Impressive video processing, Attractive design, Superb build quality, Flexible setup and configuration, Good internet and networking features
No 4K pass-through, No multi-channel analogue inputs, Remote app needs work, No built-in WiFi, Front display can't be turned off, No backlight on remote control
Movie and TV soundtracks are brilliantly rendered, music sounds fantastic, some great online features, Android and iPhone apps,
Expensive, Onkyo just keep making better ones, menus can be slow and text input is a pain
Simply put, the best AV receiver we've heard. It rocks our world in movies, and music too - for the first time - and is truly worth every penny of its admittedly high asking price. ...
Solid build, looks good in silver, thorough specification, eight HDMI inputs, good picture processing, powerful yet refined sound, fine sense of scale
Unintuitive control app
Make no mistake, the TX-NR818 is a very capable amp for the money, but the bar hasn't been raised to quite the same new heights as last year. Rival machines are waiting in the wings, so we'll be interested to see how they stack up against this Onkyo in th...

Unmatched feature set for the price, Audyssey MultEQ XT32, HQV video processing, Acts as an IPtoCEC bridge, enabling simple whole HT control via IP to legacy components without external hardware, Power consumption, Good selection of OTT audio content
24000/1001 (aka 23.976) FPS content is converted to 24.000FPS, Network stack flakiness, Does not support authenticated network shares, Android app is clunky
Onkyo's TX-NR818 occupies a strange place in their 2012 mid-range lineup, offering an unwarranted step-up in feature set from the TX-NR717 and TX-NR616; which in many ways highlights the deficiencies of those models versus competitive products and the TX...

Excellent audio performance, Exceptional video upscaling, THX Select2 Plus certified
Grey-on-black labels are very difficult to read, No AirPlay support, No digital outputs to support outboard DAC
If you already own a late-model receiver with a video processor you're happy with, such as the aforementioned Onkyo TX-NR809, there aren't many compelling reasons to move up to the TX-NR818. Many of the features and specs are identical in both models. B...
Abstract: As higher-end AV receivers are offering more and more channels of amplification, some buyers are left with a bit of a dilemma. What if you want the authority and quality of a receiver at the higher end of the price scale, but can see no circumstance in wh...
Obwohl der Onkyo mit einem Straßenpreis von 900 Euro der günstigste Receiver im Testfeld ist, spielt er klanglich auf praktisch gleichem Niveau wie die Konkurrenz. Dass es 'nur' für 86 Punkte reicht, liegt an seiner vergleichsweise geringen 7.1-Leistung u...
Abstract: Коррекция звука под особенности помещения давно используется звукорежиссерами для обеспечения настройки звука в студиях и концертных залах, имея целью ослабление влияния особенностей используемого помещения на звук. Особенно это важно для студий записи, к...
