Will ARC receiver work with eARC TV?

Is eARC backwards compatible with ARC? So no, it’s not backwards-compatible. Some AV receivers and soundbars (like those mentioned previously) that don’t have HDMI 2.1 chipsets can be upgraded to support eARC, but it varies between manufacturers and products.

Are there any problems with the Onkyo tx-nr609 receiver?

Having read the good reviews on the Onkyo TX-NR609 Receiver in What HiFi I purchased the unit. For 2 years I was pleased with it until just before Christmas when there was suddenly no sound (from any source); the setup/connections were unchanged.

What are the HDMI inputs on the tx-nr609?

The six HDMI inputs on the TX-NR609 let you simultaneously connect high-def sources such as a Blu-ray player, a gaming console, and a cable/satellite tuner. A single output then sends a pristine signal to your connected high- resolution display.

Is there an app for the tx-nr609?

Available as a free download, this app lets you use your iPod touch or iPhone as a remote controller to control a range of functions on the TX-NR609. As well as letting you select internet radio stations, it also lets you select streaming audio input from a DLNA-compatible server.

Is there a 2 year warrantee on the tx-nr609?

I am suspicious that this occurred just 1 month outside the 2 year warrantee; the same fault and time-period reported by many others (mainly in USA forums). This seems to be a fundamental flaw in the TX-NR609 design. I have reported the fault to Onkyo but to date have had no joy.

How many hours a day does Onkyo tx-nr818 use?

The TX8050 and the TX-NR818 both saw lengthy use each day. At least six hours and nary a hitch. Agreed, they sell huge numbers so a couple of hundred or however many more or less it is distorts the picture. People will talk up more when they have a complaint.
