TheHummer Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 helo all,i have bought today the onkyo TX-NR828,because my old onkyo TX-VS828THX needed a replacement. Still good but wanted a new one for my working space. Can you guys tell me is this a good receiver and hopefully not a one that breakes down in a couple of years due to hdmi problems. I hope that my music play that good as on my old one,because i was very happy with this one. Can you tell me something more how this one plays and is video images also that good from what i read from the internet tests. Ok thx in advance for your reply and i am looking forward for your vision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klipschsonian Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 (edited) Welcome to the forum. That should be a great receiver. I am currently using the TX-NR626 and am very happy with the performance & video quality of it. I am sure you have a lot more power and features to play with on the 828. As far as the HDMI issues go, the newer Onkyo lines seem to be a bit more stable but I am keeping my fingers crossed.

wvu80 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 I have not seen HDMI problems reported on the 828. The older models yes, but not this one. I think you did good with the 828 purchase. The measured power output looks good as well. http://www.soundandvision.com/content/onkyo-tx-nr828-av-receiver-test-bench Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
001 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 the 828 has great reviews & should be a fine AVR for you. one thing to mention is that onkyo has extended their warranty of the hdmi boards for most models, if yours craps out after the factory warranty expires you should still be covered for a free or discounted repair. shipping from the netherlands migh be expensive but they might honor a local repair if you have a shop in the area that can do it. & ive read its not that difficult to do yourself if they will send you a new board. but as mentioned i think you should be ok with the 828, sounds like onkyo fixed or greatly improved the initial hdmi problems. i have an 805 & 605 that are doing fine.... so far.
