careful: will not display dvi or hdmi from computers and downsample 1080p component to 720p for hdmi output
|
The unit has plenty of good points as others have pointed out.
I'd like to point out flaws that may matter to you:
- if you use a computer with a DVI to HDMI cable, or an HDMI video card, the SR875 is not able to display the picture properly (it will be blocky and with the wrong color). There is no known fix from onkyo except plugging the cable in your TV if you have more than one HDMI input in your TV
- as others have noted, the unit gets very hot. It has no active cooling and will burn up in a cabinet (it has also damaged equipment that people have put directly on top of it)
- there is some problem with 1080p component video, at least for Xboxes, and the unit will convert component 1080p down to 720p and then back up to 1080p hdmi (losing quality in the process). This makes the 875 barely better than the Denon 3808 which cannot display component on its hdmi output
If the first 2 points are a problem, it is recommended that you look at the Denon 3808 which doesn't have the video problem with dvi/hdmi, and also adds ethernet, internet radio, firmware upgrades over the net, controls over a web browser, and usb reading for music. |
