I needed a basic stereo receiver to play my old LP's and cassette tapes as well as my newer CD's. The Onkyo TX8211 does it all very well. Good sound, easy hookup,low price, and adequate power. Yes, 50 watts is sufficient power for a normal sized room. It is obvious that the previous reviewer does not own an Onkyo TX8211 or has even gone to the store to look at one, or he would know that this receiver does come with a built in phono input. The alternate to this receiver is the ... Sony STR-DE185 but the Sony would require the addition of a ...phono preamp adapter to play LP's so the total price is back up .... The ...Onkyo will save you a lot of hassle and give you slightly better numbers (THD, etc.) than the Sony albeit the Sony is a 100 watt system.
 Very good bargain-priced stereo receiver. September 23, 2002

The fad today clearly is for multi-channel audio/video receivers -- preferably with lots of watts. But most people stiill listen to music with just two speakers and, consequently, only need a good stereo receiver. The Onkyo TX-8211 is a very good stereo receiver at a very reasonable price. Yes, it "only" has 50 watts per channel of power, but 50 watts per channel will drive most speakers to deafening levels (which is NOT good for your ears) unless you play music with the bass control on full boast. If you feel that you must have 100 watts per channel, check out the Onkyo TX-8511. But, believe me, most people will be quite happy with the TX-8211 which is significantly less expensive. One word of caution: the TX-8211 does not have a phono input and, therefore, cannot play LPs. But for playing CDs, tapes, and radio broadcasts it is a very good buy.

Overall a well-equipped receiver with enough power to keep most listeners happy. I chose this model for its excellent price and phono input. I'm pleased with the crisp clean sound. A few drawbacks keep this unit from perfection. The remote only controls volume and input source, although there are plenty of controls for other Onkyo components, which may eliminate the need for multiple remotes. Also the Tape 2 input is intended as a monitor that overrides other inputs when selected and must be turned off before listening to other sources, a minor inconvenience. Tape to tape recording capabilities are limited, if not impossible.

I've owned this receiver for about three years. Very good sound, low distortion. Plus yes, it does have a phono input!

"Please read the fine print for "onecall" REQUIRES SIGNATURE AT TIME OF DELIVERY !!! this means i'm going to have to take the day off from work or drive 30 miles to pick my package up..."
I don't get it.
MY GOOD MAN! Had it not occurred to you to have it shipped to your work address?
I think it unfair to rate the Onkyo product based on one retailer's shipping policy, (which BTW is designed to protect YOU,) rather than on the quality of the product itself.
By the way, did you not see the cost of shipping before buying? If it was too much then why not move on to another internet discount house.
In my opinion this is where user reviews break down and become unhelpful.
