Product Description
The trade-off between home theater packages and separate components is essentially an issue of quality. The market is overflowing with cookie-cutter packages straight off the assembly line. These packages are an amalgam of cost-cutting reductions from the amplification stage right through to the speaker cones. Taking a different tack, Onkyo has drawn from the strength of its stand-alone A/V receiver line-up to drive the HT-SR700 5.1-channel receiver/speaker package. Stripping down to the essentials ? video switching capabilities and HDTV connectivity; circuitry that preserves audio signal purity; and ease-of-setup and straightforward operability ? the HT-SR700 is cost-effective for the user, not cost-sensitive to the manufacturer.

 Great all around system! July 6, 2007
13 out of 13 found this review helpful
I recently purchased a Samsung LNT4061F 40" 1080p LCD HDTV so I knew for sure I'd need an adequate sound system to support it. Onkyo has always been a killer receiver throughout my life, so I decided to stick with it, but throw in an entire home theater system with it.
Upon opening the system, the first thing I noticed was how huge the subwoofer was--at least it looked huge for an amateur sound guy such as myself! I immediately hooked up audio from my PC and HD cable box via optical and had my system blasting quite nicely. Unfortunately, the receiver box didn't have a third optical input for my Xbox 360 Elite--so I just hooked the tv up via L and R rca cables and swapped the optical in for the 360 Elite. Again, the surround sound was fantastic once I fiddled with the settings on the receiver. Sure, it's not as high quality as any thousand dollar system, but I am quite happy with my purchase for its price! The only negative, along with the lack of more optical inputs, is simply the lack of HDMI functionality in this receiver. But, I knew that going into the purchase, and it's just a minor quibble. Although, I still yearn for the day when I only have to use a wire or two--it's a mess right now! HDMI could have solved that, but oh well!
Great surround sound system January 18, 2008

I bought this surround sound system for my husband for Christmas. I have to say I was a little apprehensive due to the fact that I had never heard of the Onkyo Brand. Everyone always talks about Bose and Sony, and etc.... and we also own a Sony System. As it turned out, it was the best Christmas gift I could have gotten him - the sound is amazing!!! And comparable to our other Sony System. We have a 23x14 family room - and my husband loves to make the walls shake when he cranks up that volume. I would absolutely recommend this system to anyone who's looking for quality without paying the expensive price tags of the other brands. It was easy to install, the speakers are stylish and they mounted easily on the wall. We even wired the outside of the house and use this system to pump music to 2 additional outdoor speakers, something our other Sony System could not do.
Onkyo SR700 cables April 21, 2008

If you have heard Bose in a showroom and are expecting
that kind of music/clarity i have two words for you..."price tag" -
at 299 bucks its totally worth it as an entry level-not an audiophile-I live in a rented apartment-kind of a situation.
Just 2 small issues No HDMI - I knew it did not have that going into it but its worth repeating for eveyone once again.
2nd Do not expect "all" the cables as a first time buyer I was expecting everything to come in the box, uhh ohh I was in a surprise...so here's the list of cables you can order from monoprice.
these should cover connections from your dvd-to-onkyo receiver -to digital cable box and of course the TV..
1. 6FT Optical Toslink Cable x 1(if your cable box has a digital input)
2. PREMIUM 2 RCA Plug/2 RCA Plug M/M 22AWG Cable x 2
3. 6ft Coaxial Audio/Video RCA Cable M/M RG59U 75ohm x 4
Get a power strip surge suppressor if you dont have one and a 2 way Splitter F type Screw for splitting your cable and internet from the wall (comcast for sure needs it - I do not know abt the other guys)
The instructions for the connections are fairly intutive and easy to understand and I got it all connected and running the first time i turned the system on....
One crazy annoyng feature - it took me 10-15 minutes to figure it out
there's a A and B option on the receiver... even when you have it on A sometimes all the 5 speakers wont work that should be a cue for you to change the "listening mode"
Ohh btw i know the review is to buy or not to buy a system if you have not got my opinion by now.... BUY IT!! for 300 bucks its pretty cool.... but I wonder if the sony hdx500 would have been better will wait till the time comes to buy a new one ;)
hope this helps
 Pretty Good Little System November 19, 2007

I was looking for the best HTIB I could get for around $300. I settled on this one, as I've had very good experience with Onkyo in the past. I didn't need another DVD player, so I chose this sytem hoping that overall quality would be higher than some with included players.
This system won't blow you away or anything, but it sounds pretty good at this price point. The receiver has enough features, as well as inputs/outputs for my needs, and seems of high enough quality to be worth upgrading the speakers at some point as finances allow. So overall I am pleased with this purchase.
My only complaint is with the auto-on/off feature for the sub. Sometimes I'll be watching/listening to something at a low volume, and suddenly realize there's no bass! I have to turn up the volume to get it to come back on.
Also it would be nice to have at least one HDMI I/O, but I guess that would raise the price out of my range. Like I said, for the price I'm satisfied with this purchase.
Onkyo Rocks March 23, 2008

Just wanted to take a few moments to share my thoughts. I purchased this system as a gift to my wife because she loves to work around the house listening to music. She originally let it be known that Bose is the best system in the world but i thought otherwise. Aside from being overpriced and acknowledging that they are very good I investigated further and called on my past associations with name brands. Harmon Kardon, Pioneer, Teac, Marantz and Onkyo stood out. Some are still around others are not. I am not an audio connosseur but I know a good sound when I hear it. I can separate great sound from crapola. After checking several systems at my local electronics I narrowed it down to Onkyo which has been around since after WWII and still making speakers. I ordered it and my wife is in heaven and so am I. The sound fills up our 15 x 20 living room with no problem whatsoever. Our movie and concert DVD's sound fantabulous and you cannot go wrong for the price. Go for it, you won't be sorry. It was easy to setup and took about 45 minutes worth of connections and that was it. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure it out. The sub woofer is larger that I expected but all else is on the money.
