TX-NR7100 9.2-Channel AV Receiver - 100 Watts Per Channel, Dirac Live Out of Box, Works with Sonos Certified, THX Certified and More

The TX-NR7100 has been one of the best upgrades I’ve made to my home theater. Setup was straightforward, and once everything was connected, the improvement in sound quality was immediately noticeable. I’m currently running Klipsch RP-8000F II towers, an RP-504C II center, RP-500SA Atmos speakers, RP-502S II surrounds, and a large ported subwoofer. The receiver has no problem driving the entire system and delivers clean, dynamic sound whether I’m watching movies, gaming, or listening to music. Dialogue is crystal clear, surround effects are precise, and action scenes have the kind of impact that makes you feel like you’re in the middle of the movie. The Dirac Live room correction was a huge bonus and helped dial everything in for my room. HDMI 2.1 support worked perfectly with my gaming setup, and the menus are easy to navigate once you spend a little time with them. Pros: * Excellent sound quality * Plenty of power for larger speaker systems * Dirac Live room correction included * HDMI 2.1 support for modern consoles * Easy setup and configuration Cons: * Runs a little warm, so give it room to breathe * Dirac setup takes some time, but the results are worth it Overall, this receiver exceeded my expectations and has become the centerpiece of my theater. If you’re building a serious surround sound system and want great performance without jumping into much more expensive equipment, the TX-NR7100 is an easy recommendation. 💪🏼🔊🎬

I want to go on record, the Onkyo TX-Nr7100 is an awesome choice for a stereo avr. Great connectivity, a warm sound quality, and many options for your audio sound choices. But, because it's base connectivity, as it applies to Bluetooth, I do not recommend to connecting a PC to it. Due to audio and video, data separation. The Onkyo, though an excellent stereo choice, has problems playing Youtube and other types of media, with built in audio and video playback. It defaults to the miniplayer, built into the system and is impossible to get rid of in these situations. I give this product 5 stars on quality and performance, but it was not made to connect to a computer. Stll, I recommend this AVR Stereo Receiver on its aesthetic look, sound, audio and connections and quality. Very important to keep this in mind for Computer and gaming console connection to this system.

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 & Interface The 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 navigation With 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 Quality Every 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-Room Equipped 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 & Design The 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 & eARC THX Certified with immersive Atmos/DTS:X and IMAX Enhanced support Powerful and convincing Dirac Live room correction Versatile streaming ecosystem and smart assistant compatibility Excellent price-to-performance ratio compared to peers Cons: HDMI glitches possible; best addressed via firmware updates and proper setup Remote is not backlit; app UI is basic Not truly expandable to 11-channel systems; no independent sub outs or extra preamp channels Verdict: 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.

This thing is fantastic sounding, built well but there are a couple of caveats. One, to take advantage of the 7.2.2.1 setup you cannot use bi-amp front speakers, which I have. Doing this removes one set of the atmos speakers, which reduces the effects of audio above you. This isn't too much of an issue if your ceiling is good for conducting audio off of, but if you want true surround atmos, don't run your front speakers bi-amp. I lost my bi-amp bars so I can't run my front speakers any other way. That's my fault. Two, the auto audio configuration KILLS the bass. I set up my sound system to my liking with a slight punchiness to the sub and the bass in my front speakers. The auto calibration set my bass to -8 and my subwoofer to -18db, which made it doing absolutely nothing. So I had to go and reset this. However if for any reason your amp resets, you have to go through the calibration again, and do it all over again. My receiver will not let me out of the calibration program. And third for me, the sound separation for the surround side and surround back channels is a bit muddied. This could be due to a bunch of different things and my last Onkyo receiver did not allow for surround back while in bi-amp mode, but the surround side channels always worked great. Here with this new receiver on the same media I'm getting weird dropouts or the sounds playing the same across both channels when it's supposed to be coming from one direction or the other. Not sure what's going on, but if you encounter it and fix it let me know.

After owning this receiver i will never buy an Onkyo product again. I originally bought this product because i've owned an Onkyo in the past and liked it and figured i try it again. Coming from a DENON receiver without Atmos i toggled between this model and a DENON model and ultimately ended up going with this model because of the DIRAC support, the fact it supported 4k/120 passthrough and other various gaming features and it was on a good sale for Black Friday. Out of the box setup was pretty simple. DIRAC took some time to setup properly especially when using the hit or miss app but ultimately got it set up and it sounded amazing. However this is where the good ends. After about 1-2 months of daily use, i started noticing a crackling/static type noise ive never heard before. At first i thought it was just the show i was watching or one my klipsch speakers having issues. Its very distracting and annoying to hear every 1-2 minutes of watching anything, it happened on my gaming systems, my Roku,etc. After troubleshooting for half a day making sure speaker wires and all my connections were solid and checking settings both on my OLED and the unit itself, plugging devices into the TV directly and using eARC i couldn't find the problem. Having had no issues before with my DENON unit i started to suspect it was the Onkyo. After contacting support i received the generic response of have you turned it on and off, checked wires/etc. After explaining the situation to the rep from Onkyo the rep eventually determined that the unit was faulty and would need to be looked at, being in warranty it would be covered. However, he said i would have to ship it in to a repair center or drive to one. Well if you're located on the west coast you're out of luck completely. There is virtually only 2 repair centers that are certified to work on them. I figured out no big deal, however, the rep also said that I had to pay for the shipping of the unit under my own expense and i wouldn't be reimbursed for a manufacturer defected unit. Which to me is insane, i didn't drop the unit or cause any issue that i can think of to have had this happen. Shipping a receiver that weighs upwards of 50lbs and up IS NOT cheap. I totally understand if i have to pay for something when its my fault but not when the manufacturer has a defect. I don't know if the QC has also been bad at Onkyo and i got lucky with the first unit i owned years and years ago or what, but the quality of this unit was awful. On a side note, the remote has to be the worst remote Ive ever used for an electronic device. It has the range of about .5ft so you have to be directly aiming at it and right next to it for it even register a press. Also the menu's are pretty lackluster. If i were you i would avoid it like the plague but maybe you'll have better luck.

I'm at home theater enthusiast and audiophile for many years! Onkyo products provide the best quality for the money. I currently have three of their AV receivers including this one. I'll work great and sound fantastic! I'm very impressed with the functionality of this receiver.

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.

I had been eyeing this receiver for months before finally deciding to pull the trigger when it was offered at half the original price. I previously had an Onkyo TX-NR 809 which died and was replaced with a Denon AVR. This receiver blew both AVRs out of the water. Initial setup was very easy. HDMI inputs: • PS5 • PS4 • PS3 • 15 foot HDMI cable for laptop • eARC output to 65" TCL TV's eARC input Everything worked once I switched on the TV, powering on the AVR in the process. I have a 7.1 Infinity system with a Klipsch reference subwoofer and listening to the receiver drive these speakers was a joy to behold. The one issue I ran into was the Dirac Live configuration which kept failing, no matter how many times I tried or adjusted the sound levels. I have been at it for two days now and nothing I have tried has worked. It's a pity because I had heard so many good things about it. I will have to go the old-school route and use a sound level meter to adjust the individual speaker levels. I already adjusted the speaker distances so the level calibration should optimize the audio which already sounds fantastic and much closer to a home theater experience than I have ever had. Another issue that bedeviled me and which I had seen mentioned in other reviews was the dreaded "Initial Setup - See TV" message. Once the AVR turns on, the message appears on the AVR's display panel with no video output to the TV. Pressing back prompts you to set up Alexa and pressing back again restores video output and input selection. Not a deal breaker but having to press the back button twice whenever I turned on the system was a bit annoying. Unplugging the receiver from the power supply did not work. Installing a firmware update did not work either. Eventually, I reset the AVR from the onscreen menu: Settings > Miscellaneous > Reset. The reset process is very quick and you have to press the AVR's power button to restart it. Once done, I went through the initial setup steps without interrupting it and finally got to a screen thanking me for completing the initial setup and reminding me that I could do it again in the future. After that, the 'Initial Setup - See TV" no longer appeared. For all its power, the AVR was surprisingly light out of the box, compared to my previous TX-NR809 AVR but it makes sense though since that was a much older model. The remote is very light and easy to use but a major gripe was the placement of the mute button. It is placed directly under the arrow down button which has led to accidentally muting the receiver a few times. I was beginning to wonder if the AVR was broken when the speaker level calibration function was grayed out, before realizing that I had accidentally pressed mute as I was moving down to access the feature. Another minor annoyance is the placement of the input buttons with Cbl/Sat, Game and BD/DVD the first three followed by STRMBOX below. During the initial setup, I had used the first 3 HDMI inputs from the left for the consoles. When I turned on the PS3, I couldn't find the input and eventually found it when I pressed STRMBOX . Now I will have to examine the inputs more closely to determine their labels. They can always be renamed on the AVR but not the remote. I am quite sure I used the GAME input for the PS5 but I will have to make sure. This is my 5th AVR and by far the best. I am really excited to experience what it has to offer and am now thinking of getting height speakers to get the full Atmos experience. If you have a 5.1, 7.1 or more speaker system and are thinking about upgrading your receiver, look no further than this beast.

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.

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.

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.

Ótimo receiver estou muito satisfeito

Hay que conocer un poco de sistemas de audio pues no cuenta con manuales tan precisos respecto a configuraciones etc. Aunque si tiene un pequeño asistente digital de conexión
