Onkyo TX-NR7100 9.2-Channel AV Receiver - 100 Watts Per Channel, Dirac Live Out of Box, Works with Sonos Certified, THX Certified and More

I want to go on record, the Onkyo TX-Nr7100 is an awesome choice for a stereo avr. Great connectivity, a warm sound quality, and many options for your audio sound choices. But, because it's base connectivity, as it applies to Bluetooth, I do not recommend to connecting a PC to it. Due to audio and video, data separation. The Onkyo, though an excellent stereo choice, has problems playing Youtube and other types of media, with built in audio and video playback. It defaults to the miniplayer, built into the system and is impossible to get rid of in these situations. I give this product 5 stars on quality and performance, but it was not made to connect to a computer. Stll, I recommend this AVR Stereo Receiver on its aesthetic look, sound, audio and connections and quality. Very important to keep this in mind for Computer and gaming console connection to this system.

After researching extensively and using the TX‑NR7100 firsthand with a 5.1.4 Dolby Atmos setup, I’m thoroughly impressed by its blend of features, performance, and value. Setup & Interface The guided setup process is smooth and intuitive—Wi‑Fi setup, firmware updates, speaker configuration and HDMI mapping all work seamlessly. The on-screen menus are clean and accessible, though some deeper options may require a bit of navigation With six HDMI 2.1 inputs and two HDMI 2.1 outputs, this receiver supports 8K/60Hz and 4K/120Hz video formats, along with VRR, eARC, and ALLM. This makes it ideal for gaming consoles like PS5 and Xbox Series X—performance is solid with no reported signal dropouts on the primary HDMI ports. Audio & Sound Quality Every channel delivers up to ~100 W into 8 Ω, powering immersive content such as Dolby Atmos and DTS:X with clarity and presence. THX post-processing adds dimension and scale, especially with cinematic soundtracks. Dirac Live room correction provides musical staging, precise imaging, cleaner dialog, and deeper bass—transformative for untreated or irregular rooms. Streaming & Multi-Room Equipped with AirPlay 2, Chromecast, Bluetooth (including aptX), and Sonos/DTS Play-Fi integration, streaming is flexible and robust. Spotify, Tidal, Pandora, TuneIn, and more are all supported. It even functions as a Roon endpoint with no signal issues when streaming high-res audio over Ethernet. Build & Design The front panel features a large green display, a straightforward volume dial, and basic controls. While the remote is functional, it isn’t backlit. The control app is usable but somewhat basic, making desktop Dirac calibration a better option for fine-tuning. Pros: Cutting-edge HDMI 2.1 support for 8K/60Hz, 4K/120Hz, VRR & eARC THX Certified with immersive Atmos/DTS:X and IMAX Enhanced support Powerful and convincing Dirac Live room correction Versatile streaming ecosystem and smart assistant compatibility Excellent price-to-performance ratio compared to peers Cons: HDMI glitches possible; best addressed via firmware updates and proper setup Remote is not backlit; app UI is basic Not truly expandable to 11-channel systems; no independent sub outs or extra preamp channels Verdict: The Onkyo TX‑NR7100 strikes a remarkable balance between modern video support, superior immersive audio, and intuitive usability—all at a price point that undercuts many similarly spec’d competitors. If you want future‑proof HDMI features, strong gaming performance, Dirac‑based room tuning, and multi‑room streaming options, this AVR delivers beyond expectation. Highly recommended.

The Onkyo TX‑NR7100 has completely transformed my home theater. The sound quality is rich, detailed, and powerful, and the 9.2‑channel setup gives movies and music a level of immersion I didn’t realize I was missing. Dirac Live right out of the box is a huge win — the room correction made an immediate, noticeable improvement. Setup was smooth, the interface is clean, and everything from streaming to switching inputs feels fast and reliable. It also plays perfectly with the rest of my system, and the THX certification really shows in how cinematic everything sounds. I absolutely love this receiver. It’s one of those upgrades that makes you wonder why you didn’t do it sooner.

First purchased a refurbished unit that turned out to have an intermittent problem so I returned it and ordered a new one of the same model. I'm very pleased with it even though it cost me an additional $200+. This is, for me, a high end amp that has more features than I will likely figure out how to use. The sound quality is great. I'm not a techy, per se so it was a little difficult to figure out how to get it up and running. I went to the manufacturer's website and found a user manual that helped a lot. The manual is 200 pages long, providing information for worldwide setup and contains more info than one needs but if one follows it carefully the setup will go fine.

After owning this receiver i will never buy an Onkyo product again. I originally bought this product because i've owned an Onkyo in the past and liked it and figured i try it again. Coming from a DENON receiver without Atmos i toggled between this model and a DENON model and ultimately ended up going with this model because of the DIRAC support, the fact it supported 4k/120 passthrough and other various gaming features and it was on a good sale for Black Friday. Out of the box setup was pretty simple. DIRAC took some time to setup properly especially when using the hit or miss app but ultimately got it set up and it sounded amazing. However this is where the good ends. After about 1-2 months of daily use, i started noticing a crackling/static type noise ive never heard before. At first i thought it was just the show i was watching or one my klipsch speakers having issues. Its very distracting and annoying to hear every 1-2 minutes of watching anything, it happened on my gaming systems, my Roku,etc. After troubleshooting for half a day making sure speaker wires and all my connections were solid and checking settings both on my OLED and the unit itself, plugging devices into the TV directly and using eARC i couldn't find the problem. Having had no issues before with my DENON unit i started to suspect it was the Onkyo. After contacting support i received the generic response of have you turned it on and off, checked wires/etc. After explaining the situation to the rep from Onkyo the rep eventually determined that the unit was faulty and would need to be looked at, being in warranty it would be covered. However, he said i would have to ship it in to a repair center or drive to one. Well if you're located on the west coast you're out of luck completely. There is virtually only 2 repair centers that are certified to work on them. I figured out no big deal, however, the rep also said that I had to pay for the shipping of the unit under my own expense and i wouldn't be reimbursed for a manufacturer defected unit. Which to me is insane, i didn't drop the unit or cause any issue that i can think of to have had this happen. Shipping a receiver that weighs upwards of 50lbs and up IS NOT cheap. I totally understand if i have to pay for something when its my fault but not when the manufacturer has a defect. I don't know if the QC has also been bad at Onkyo and i got lucky with the first unit i owned years and years ago or what, but the quality of this unit was awful. On a side note, the remote has to be the worst remote Ive ever used for an electronic device. It has the range of about .5ft so you have to be directly aiming at it and right next to it for it even register a press. Also the menu's are pretty lackluster. If i were you i would avoid it like the plague but maybe you'll have better luck.

I bought this one on sale to replace my old Pioneer VSX-1120-K 7.2 ch receiver which did not support 4K video and new Atmos sound profile. I would say, it was the best deal in this category since it offered 100 watts/ch , 9.2 ch, 8k/4k supported, and nearly 50% price cut when on sale! The sound quality is amazing, especially after using Dirac live to measure and auto adjust all speakers’ sound curves, making my home theater sound in a different level. The high is very clear but not harsh while the low is soft and nice punch. I also like the Onkyo App which helps to control the receiver in many ways. I can use it together with other online music streaming services app without touching the remote controller any more, very convenient! The only a small problem it has, is that it’s BD/DVD HDMI input sometimes does not work well with Amazon fire stick. It makes the firestick restart over again and again, so I have to use the other input such as game input to work smoothly with the firestick. Update: I have had this receiver for more than a year now. I would say, I love it more and more! It not only supports 4K/8k video through HDMI, but also has so many listening sound models to choose from, and the App on smartphone is a very convenient tool. One of my favorite functions of it is the Dirac live function. I used to analyze the sound characteristics of each speaker, and fine tune the frequencies on them, making my home theater speakers up to a very high level, making every single sound frequency is in its best condition. This certainly compensates the shortcomings of certain sound frequencies in each speaker. Many times I just sat in my home theater listening to the music from Spotify without watching movie, and it was so joyful. I am changing the rate from 4 stars to five!

I may return at a future date to give a more complete review, but others that are much more knowledgeable about audio equipment than I have already done so. For me, the Onkyo (Onkyo TX-NR7100 9.2-Channel 8K/4K Network A/V Receiver) replaced a much older (2001) TX DS787 5.1 100 W Surround receiver that listed new for around $1050. I probably didn't pay quite that much but certainly something near $900. It was great for its time, perhaps even advanced with THX, Dolby, and other listening modes. But it didn't have: HDMI inputs or outputs, any BlueTooth capability, no hard wired or WiFi connectivity or basically any operating or connection modes that most all modern receivers have. This turned into a big problem with modern LED/LCD/OLED TVs, Alexa and other now common devices. I bought my new Onkyo TX-NR7100 from Amazon for $625. Other retailers (e.g.Best Buy) advertise it for up to $1200, so Amazon's price is outstanding. Set up was far more complicated (for me) than any previous receiver that I ever owned, mostly because there were a very large number of back panel input and output jacks, to and from the TV, as well as speaker outputs for 9.2 surround. Suffice it to say that once everything was connected properly (I made a few mistakes along the way), I was completely thrilled. The On Screen Display, completely accessible either from the front panel or the remote was far superior to anything I had ever seen before. Literally every operating parameter is accessible to the user. And I used most of them. It is also completely WiFi ready so my 150 Gbit home Wifi network lets it connect wirelessly and stream music error free. BlueTooth is also another way to connect almost any device to it for audio and audio/video playback if you connect the digital connections to and from a modern TV. It also speaks and listens to Alexa, although I must confess that I haven't played around with that much yet. This is already much longer than I had intended, so let it suffice to say that the Onkyo TX-NR7100 is an absolutely incredible receiver for an incredible price. I'd give it 8 stars if I could.

We purchased this to replace our 15 year old Pioneer VSX-1020. After reading numerous positive reviews we chose this av receiver due to the features and a price point that wouldn’t break the bank. Our speaker system is vintage. We have the Cambridge Soundworks Surround II, KLH 32s for the floor front and a Polk 10 subwoofer. The connections were simple and sound setup with Dirac Live was simple and straightforward. We are amazed at how easy and user friendly the set is. The improvements over our old Pioneer, which we loved, are too numerous list. We enjoy how the unit automatically detects the audio format a film, TV show, and music is streamed. The remote control is simple and straightforward. To say we are pleased is an understatement. Our living room, where we use this unit, is about 30X30 in an old Victorian house. It sounds great.

Hay que conocer un poco de sistemas de audio pues no cuenta con manuales tan precisos respecto a configuraciones etc. Aunque si tiene un pequeño asistente digital de conexión

I have given this item 1 star only for the fact that this item wasn't advertised as the American version of the receiver, so this is relating to the voltage being 120 not the UK voltage of 240. This receiver has been available for over 18 months in the states and Canada and when correspondence amerged it will be available in Europe (240 voltage option) in Autum I kept checking various selling platforms. So checked on the UK Amazon site it was being sold I ordered 1, not very happy when it finally arrived and it was the 120 voltage version. I have sent it back (got a full refund), there is options to buy various electrical add ons so the 120 option is OK to use here in this country but didn't want anymore bulky electrical boxes on show.

This my second Onkyo after purchasing a TX-NR797, 5 years ago. This 7100 receiver was relatively easy to set-up. The internet installed fast. The connections are plenty, however I wasn’t sure whether I wanted my Samsung 85 to be the brains or Onkyo 7100 receiver. I went with my Samsung for now. So now the EARC is running from television to receiver. Cogeco cable box and Sony 4K player are hooked up via Samsung. One big selling feature was Dirac Live. I waited until it was very quiet. I downloaded the IOS version on phone first but I couldn’t get the App to work properly. I troubleshot online and downloaded the Windows version. That did the trick. The audio sounds brilliant now. I have a 7.1.2 configuration. Klipsch fronts, centre and sub, Definitive Technology bi-polars mid-surrounds, Sony atmos ceiling speakers and Energy back surrounds. We watched the 4K Elvis movie. The sound was 100% legit, it is Man Cave approved. The Onkyo answered the bell with immersive sound. I have only begun to maximize the 7100’s capabilities, but to me this receiver is phenomenal value and comes highly recommended by me.

Ótimo receiver estou muito satisfeito

Excelente equipo de sonido para películas de Bluray o streaming. Actualmente lo tengo conectado en un sistema 5.1.4 con Bocinas Klipsch RP II donde puedo sacarle jugo a Dolby Atmos. También me gustó el sonido en música en Stereo, mucho mejor que los equipos Denon de entrada que antes tenía. En la parte de streaming lo uso con Amazon music HD (Calidad HiRes) y Tidal (Calidad CD). No decodifica MQA. PROS: Potencia: 100W, 2Ch, 8 Ohm. THX, Dolby Atmos, DTS-X, Chromecast, Dirac (calibracion). Funciona bien con XBOX SeriesX en 4K-120Hz. CONS: No tiene salidas preamplificadas por lo que no se puede usar como controlador AVR con amplificadores externos.
