Product Description
Entry in level but big in features is the perfect way to describe the TX-SR502 from Onkyo. 6.1 channels pump out enough power to show you what you've been missing by just using those speakers on your TV. New additions bring your movie and music enjoyment to entirely new levels, with the enhanced surround sound of Dolby Pro Logic IIx and the near master quality of DTS 96/24. And you won't have to worry about waiting to enjoy these features and more. Set-up is simple, with user-friendly features such as crossover adjustment for bass management and color-coded inputs and outputs for speakers and multi-channel inputs. So if you're looking for an entry-level receiver with an impressive pedigree and features, Onkyo are proud to submit the TX-SR502 for your consideration.

 Good choice for apartments January 22, 2005

While the Onkyo TX-SR502B is not a high-powered receiver, it's still a great value for a starter's home theater receiver, esp. considering the namebrand and high quality you are getting. The 6.1 digital surround is awesome; get Onkyo speakers to go with this. The moderate output power is actually a boon for those of us who live in apartment buildings, since we can never crank up our speakers to high decibels anyway. (Those living in a house with the next neighbors 10 miles away should get a receiver with more power.)
BTW, if you don't already have your own speakers, you might want to consider a home theater in a box (HTIB) system that includes both the receiver and teh speakers. Onkyo and Yamaha have some high-quality systems for decent prices.
Excellent Value, Great For Smaller Systems April 25, 2005

As with all electronics, there is a clear trade-off between value and quality. If your home theater budgets puts you in the under $300 (probably more like under $200 today) range, this is an excellent receiver with plenty of inputs and features.
I upgraded to this unit after owning a Yamaha Pro-Logic Receiver for nearly 7 years. I immediately noticed a huge difference. A couple of things worth noting...
For one, this is a 6.1 system. I don't know how many people are running 7.1 systems, but if so, this is probably not the unit for you since you most likely have a large home theater with larger speakers that could probably use some more power than this offers.
Now, for the many positives. This unit features a subwoofer pre-out, which seems to work a lot better than the prior connection I had on my Yamaha. The sound is really outstanding for both DTS/DD applications and normal stereo. The digital inputs (3 optical, 1 coax) are assignable to any function (i.e. DVD, Video 1, etc.). The power of this receiver is pretty impressive. I have 2 B&W DM302s as front, a B&W CC3 for a center, and a B&W ASW500 sub, and the system rocks. I have an optical cable connecting my laptop to the receiver, and even 128 mbps mp3's sound wonderful.
I purchased it for $199 from J&R Music World- very good value. As with most consumer hi-fi equipment, there is always the risk of product defect or burn-out mentioned in some of the other reviews. Onkyo seems to offer a good warranty (2 years I believe). Go for it. Perfect for an apartment or smaller living room.
BEST BANG!! March 10, 2005

you cant ask for anything more, they say it has a small power, it depends on your room size, i have a 12x 15 room & power is more than enough, just be sure to buy good set of speakers, dont be fooled by BO$E brand they are overpriced, set up your own home theater, more exciting & less than half of that cube speaker & stuff
Wowwww!! September 17, 2004

I love this system.
It has the outstanding 3D effects, with DTS-which emulates sonic performance of AC3 from Pro-Logic sources
7 DSP modes - Even my old vinyls/tapes come alive!!
I hooked with my Bose AM6 Speakers and I don't feel like getting out of my house.
