Onkyo HT-S5700 5.1-Channel Network A/V Receiver/Speaker Package with Bluetooth

This system surprised me. Its lower cost caused me to be suspicious of the sound quality. That was totally unfounded. You don't have to pay a fortune to get excellent sound. The 5.1 surround is excellent and the set-up procedure automatically sets the speakers to the ideal for whatever room you are using. I tried to improve on the settings and after playing with the system for an hour concluded that the automatic setting system was much better than I was and so I went back and redid the initial setup again. Everything you need is in the package and the instructions were very clear. I highly recommend this system. It is far from the most expensive system out there but it is the one you really be happy with.

I purchased this system Jan. 15th. I has worked without any problems until last night when it shut off and started clicking. I followed procedures I found on their website and let it sit unplugged for a few hours. No joy. It still will not power up. I have this sitting on a table in my theater with very adequate cooling and never turn the volume up more than 25%. Navigating Onkyo's support is a mess. Searched the web to find a number of people reporting the same problem.

It was great when it worked. After one year, the sound stopped working and I would have to reset the unit constantly in order to get sound. I contacted the company, they never replied back. Good while it lasted.

Bluetooth is sometimes hard to get working -- have to unplug it to get it to work. Otherwise, quite a solid piece of equipment.

Took a little while to set up and get dialed in with TV and other components but now this system " cooks". Set up suggestions , upgrade from the supplied speaker wiring and do use the " Automatic speaker setting " room calibration . I used this in a lower level theater room setting with very good result. Excellent 5.1 channel audio separation and sound clarity with "house shaking" ability. Very good music and AM/FM playback as well. HT-R 593 AV receiver has the capacity and inputs to drive a variety of components. Although not a truly high end system a great value giving above average performance.

does not have the sound quality expected for $600.00. the large bass speaker can barely be heard. sound bars sound better than this. would llike to return for different unit. just went over one day over the 30 day return window.

for the amount of money, I thought that I would at least have zone 2 capabilities. Wrong! I had to purchase an ADDITIONAL amplifier in order to use my outside speakers. This should have been made clear in the description of the item. If it had, I would have opted for the more expensive model. As it is, the two amplifiers cost more money than just the better amp alone! Very dissatisfied.

Pretty easy to set up. For $599, you can't beat a better system. Comes with several HDMI ports. Hooked up to my projector running my XBox and laptop for movies. When setting up, it will calibrate the sound and distance of the front to the rear speakers to get that perfect sound. The only reason I gave only 4 stars is because the am does not allow you to manual change how much sound you want in each speaker. Most people like to have a little more sound coming from the rear surround speakers, but overall, a great product.
