Getting a widescreen HDTV set is only part of the Home-Theater experience. HDTV is broadcast in a 5.1 channel surround mode to emulate theater sound at front left, right, and center as well as rear left and right. Together you are immersed within a vast audio and video dimension that casts a wonderous dynamic in your living room. Of course, the sound aspect should begin with this entry-level receiver from Onkyo. Add a 5.1 channel optional home-theater speaker package, connect your TV, VCR, DVD player, even your PC and prepare to launch.
Compact sound systems deliver packaged sound that manufacturers determine for you to hear. Onkyo TX-SR304 is a high-fidelity, full-range receiver designed to deliver superb sound performance. You can customize the sound by adding your own choice of optional speakers from any brand. The result is home-theater sound just the way you want it. Top value, top satisfaction!

Onkyo Home Theater Experience

We actually purchased 2 Onkyo TX-SR304B receivers about three weeks ago from Amazon at a surprisingly good price. We're using one Onkyo in our living room and one in the bedroom to enhance the sound from our new HD Samsung TVs.

[1] The dark black receiver looks great.
[2] The audio experience brings a new dimension to the HD experience. I can't begin to describe the difference between listening to the tiny TV speakers vs. the sound coming out of true audio speakers.
[3] The connectors in the back are plentiful and color coded so that part of the process was relatively easy.
[4] Although it isn't great, the Onkyo user manual is actually better than I expected. It helped me set up both systems with only one minor problem. And that one problem was my lack of understanding on how to set up a surround sound speaker system. I contacted Onkyo's live tech support via telephone and that was very helpful. It's nice to know you can call them up with any questions.

One of our HD systems has the traditional 2 bookshelf speakers and the other one is a Polk Audio surround sound system. For most TV programming the 2 bookshelf speaker system is more than adequate. However, with Verizon FIOS HD programming, there are a couple of HD channels that broadcast concerts in surround sound and that's where the Polk Audio speakers [relatively inexpensive @ $400 for the entire system] truly shine. The surround sound system also makes a difference when playing DVDs.

However, in my opinion, if you simply hook up two traditional quality bookshelf speakers to the Onkyo receiver, as opposed to a surround sound speaker system, you will be very happy. At the very least, the audio experience is far better than listening via the TV's speakers.

I've always read about Onkyo's quality and this is the first time I experienced it myself. If you're looking for an outstanding receiver at a very fair price, I highly recommend the Onkyo TX-SR304B.

Awesome

Thru my years I have had many home theater receivers but this is the first one that had the proper amount of in and out rca ports and easy to set up. When I turned it on the sound was pure and I could hear every word clearly. At 68 you tend to lose some hearing but not with the Onkyo.
I recommend this model to everyone.

An Amazon * Best Buy *

Onkyo TX-SR304B Home Theater Receiver (Black) This was supposedly a low priced economical way of setting up a home theatre system. It accomodates five sound inputs, six speaker outputs, and any 6 speaker combinations in Stereo, or Surround sound. Every circuit is identical to the same in their most expensive models, because Onkyo won't shortcut quality in any product they manufacture. I have no idea of what I didn't get, because this receiver does more than the very expensive Pioneer it replaced. I couldn't be happier. Mike Reagan P.S. It's volume can break things...
