I have given this item 1 star only for the fact that this item wasn't advertised as the American version of the receiver, so this is relating to the voltage being 120 not the UK voltage of 240. This receiver has been available for over 18 months in the states and Canada and when correspondence amerged it will be available in Europe (240 voltage option) in Autum I kept checking various selling platforms. So checked on the UK Amazon site it was being sold I ordered 1, not very happy when it finally arrived and it was the 120 voltage version. I have sent it back (got a full refund), there is options to buy various electrical add ons so the 120 option is OK to use here in this country but didn't want anymore bulky electrical boxes on show.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exceptional Home Theater Receiver with HDMI 2.1, Dirac Live & THX – Incredible Value

2026-02-24    -Samir Jose

After researching extensively and using the TX‑NR7100 firsthand with a 5.1.4 Dolby Atmos setup, I’m thoroughly impressed by its blend of features, performance, and value.Setup & InterfaceThe guided setup process is smooth and intuitive—Wi‑Fi setup, firmware updates, speaker configuration and HDMI mapping all work seamlessly. The on-screen menus are clean and accessible, though some deeper options may require a bit of navigationWith six HDMI 2.1 inputs and two HDMI 2.1 outputs, this receiver supports 8K/60Hz and 4K/120Hz video formats, along with VRR, eARC, and ALLM. This makes it ideal for gaming consoles like PS5 and Xbox Series X—performance is solid with no reported signal dropouts on the primary HDMI ports.Audio & Sound QualityEvery channel delivers up to ~100 W into 8 Ω, powering immersive content such as Dolby Atmos and DTS:X with clarity and presence. THX post-processing adds dimension and scale, especially with cinematic soundtracks. Dirac Live room correction provides musical staging, precise imaging, cleaner dialog, and deeper bass—transformative for untreated or irregular rooms.Streaming & Multi-RoomEquipped with AirPlay 2, Chromecast, Bluetooth (including aptX), and Sonos/DTS Play-Fi integration, streaming is flexible and robust. Spotify, Tidal, Pandora, TuneIn, and more are all supported. It even functions as a Roon endpoint with no signal issues when streaming high-res audio over Ethernet.Build & DesignThe front panel features a large green display, a straightforward volume dial, and basic controls. While the remote is functional, it isn’t backlit. The control app is usable but somewhat basic, making desktop Dirac calibration a better option for fine-tuning.Pros:Cutting-edge HDMI 2.1 support for 8K/60Hz, 4K/120Hz, VRR & eARCTHX Certified with immersive Atmos/DTS:X and IMAX Enhanced supportPowerful and convincing Dirac Live room correctionVersatile streaming ecosystem and smart assistant compatibilityExcellent price-to-performance ratio compared to peersCons:HDMI glitches possible; best addressed via firmware updates and proper setupRemote is not backlit; app UI is basicNot truly expandable to 11-channel systems; no independent sub outs or extra preamp channelsVerdict:The Onkyo TX‑NR7100 strikes a remarkable balance between modern video support, superior immersive audio, and intuitive usability—all at a price point that undercuts many similarly spec’d competitors. If you want future‑proof HDMI features, strong gaming performance, Dirac‑based room tuning, and multi‑room streaming options, this AVR delivers beyond expectation. Highly recommended.

Excelente receptor AV para sistemas 7.2.2 y 5.2.4

The media could not be loaded. Excelente equipo de sonido para películas de Bluray o streaming.Actualmente lo tengo conectado en un sistema 5.1.4 con Bocinas Klipsch RP II donde puedo sacarle jugo a Dolby Atmos.También me gustó el sonido en música en Stereo, mucho mejor que los equipos Denon de entrada que antes tenía.En la parte de streaming lo uso con Amazon music HD (Calidad HiRes) y Tidal (Calidad CD). No decodifica MQA.PROS: Potencia: 100W, 2Ch, 8 Ohm.THX, Dolby Atmos, DTS-X, Chromecast, Dirac (calibracion). Funciona bien con XBOX SeriesX en 4K-120Hz.CONS: No tiene salidas preamplificadas por lo que no se puede usar como controlador AVR con amplificadores externos.

Onkyo 7100 is the best value

2026-01-07    -gord burdick

This my second Onkyo after purchasing a TX-NR797, 5 years ago. This 7100 receiver was relatively easy to set-up. The internet installed fast. The connections are plenty, however I wasn’t sure whether I wanted my Samsung 85 to be the brains or Onkyo 7100 receiver. I went with my Samsung for now. So now the EARC is running from television to receiver. Cogeco cable box and Sony 4K player are hooked up via Samsung. One big selling feature was Dirac Live. I waited until it was very quiet. I downloaded the IOS version on phone first but I couldn’t get the App to work properly. I troubleshot online and downloaded the Windows version. That did the trick. The audio sounds brilliant now. I have a 7.1.2 configuration. Klipsch fronts, centre and sub, Definitive Technology bi-polars mid-surrounds, Sony atmos ceiling speakers and Energy back surrounds. We watched the 4K Elvis movie. The sound was 100% legit, it is Man Cave approved. The Onkyo answered the bell with immersive sound. I have only begun to maximize the 7100’s capabilities, but to me this receiver is phenomenal value and comes highly recommended by me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible 9.2 Surround receiver at an unbeatable price.

I may return at a future date to give a more complete review, but others that are much more knowledgeable about audio equipment than I have already done so.For me, the Onkyo (Onkyo TX-NR7100 9.2-Channel 8K/4K Network A/V Receiver) replaced a much older (2001) TX DS787 5.1 100 W Surround receiver that listed new for around $1050. I probably didn't pay quite that much but certainly something near $900. It was great for its time, perhaps even advanced with THX, Dolby, and other listening modes.But it didn't have: HDMI inputs or outputs, any BlueTooth capability, no hard wired or WiFi connectivity or basically any operating or connection modes that most all modern receivers have. This turned into a big problem with modern LED/LCD/OLED TVs, Alexa and other now common devices.I bought my new Onkyo TX-NR7100 from Amazon for $625. Other retailers (e.g.Best Buy) advertise it for up to $1200, so Amazon's price is outstanding. Set up was far more complicated (for me) than any previous receiver that I ever owned, mostly because there were a very large number of back panel input and output jacks, to and from the TV, as well as speaker outputs for 9.2 surround.Suffice it to say that once everything was connected properly (I made a few mistakes along the way), I was completely thrilled. The On Screen Display, completely accessible either from the front panel or the remote was far superior to anything I had ever seen before. Literally every operating parameter is accessible to the user. And I used most of them.It is also completely WiFi ready so my 150 Gbit home Wifi network lets it connect wirelessly and stream music error free. BlueTooth is also another way to connect almost any device to it for audio and audio/video playback if you connect the digital connections to and from a modern TV. It also speaks and listens to Alexa, although I must confess that I haven't played around with that much yet.This is already much longer than I had intended, so let it suffice to say that the Onkyo TX-NR7100 is an absolutely incredible receiver for an incredible price. I'd give it 8 stars if I could.JM TEPPER

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb Sound and user friendly

2026-01-10    -Denis M. Moore

We purchased this to replace our 15 year old Pioneer VSX-1020. After reading numerous positive reviews we chose this av receiver due to the features and a price point that wouldn’t break the bank. Our speaker system is vintage. We have the Cambridge Soundworks Surround II, KLH 32s for the floor front and a Polk 10 subwoofer. The connections were simple and sound setup with Dirac Live was simple and straightforward. We are amazed at how easy and user friendly the set is. The improvements over our old Pioneer, which we loved, are too numerous list. We enjoy how the unit automatically detects the audio format a film, TV show, and music is streamed. The remote control is simple and straightforward. To say we are pleased is an understatement. Our living room, where we use this unit, is about 30X30 in an old Victorian house. It sounds great.
