[@madmat2001]

Pure audio mode, disables tone controls, shuts off display output through the HDMI. The idea is to turn the unit into as close to a "straight wire with gain" as possible, not increase power output. Hence the name Pure Audio. Denon has a similar mode with theirs. It's called Pure Direct.

[@Frietpan]

i wonder if thd actually goes down in pure direct,straight,pure w/e mode, or otherwise does the display and other hardware add distortion. or is it all a gimmick.

[@brentb5303]

I would venture a guess and say that it does make measurable differences in the signal path. What that translates to in regards to the final output audibly to the human ear is questionable. If adding such a feature makes consumers pick one device over another. Then why not, I guess? So gimmick, most likely. I have a pre amp from Yamaha, the c-70 circa 1982. It has an option called direct disc. When pushed in it bypasses the parametric eq and a couple of other stops along the signal path for the phono input. If the parametric eq is set flat I can't tell the difference. It does add an additional button and light, so there's that.

[@jarensonger2501]

That's why I purchased this receiver. One of the few with PRE OUT without spending a fortune.

Zone 2 of the living room 810 goes to the kitchen and dining room and Zone 2 of the theater room goes to some outdoor speakers. It's great...I can have music playing throughout the entire house and outside with a few quick clicks on the Onkyo app. Excellent receivers for the price except I had some issues with the 820 and 4k60 video. I'm not sure what the difference is between the 810 and 820 but yeah, the 810 is much happier with 60fps 4k.

[@hgwaterous]

I bought the TX-RZ820 from Crutchfield based on this video. I have Magnepan's entry level speakers with the quasi-ribbon tweeters and a rated 4 ohm impedance. Blew up the receiver, then another. Crutchfield replaced both under warranty. I opted for a dedicated 300 wpc amplifier from Emotiva and I'm glad I did. The receiver is great for signal processing and ergonomics, but it's still a fairly weak chip amp in the power section. Does ok with dummy loads and constant impedance but not great with difficult to drive speakers.

Can you plese test the rca voltage output on fl/fr rca out on your Onkyo receiver with a 0db 1k hz test tone? There is a lot of debate about Onkyo when using external amplifiers since the're only rated at 1v output and most outboard amps have an input sensitivity of 1.4 or 1.6v. Denon, for example, is rated at 1.2v out to match amps nicely and get full rated power.

[@wal]

I believe I tried it and it was 1 volt. Can’t recall 100% for sure though. It is an easy test to try

[@ThriftyAV]

I have the TX-RZ820. I find it interesting that they always rate amplifiers with 2 channels driven, but when using this as a home theater receiver, folks are driving 5 or 7 channels. Thank you for testing the mains. Would love to see how it does with more channels driven.

[@OxBlitzkriegxO]

You can tell when Onkyo really cut costs on their receivers with the mid range products. 30lbs is light for a 7 channel receiver. The old SR805 (2007-ish) did 200+ at 8 ohms and and 370 watts at 4 ohms, all channels driven. This receiver is still really good, it just isn't the steal of a deal the older series receivers were for their time. I'd still pick it over pretty much anything else in it's price range.

[@jmiller007]

OxBlitzkriegxO you're not wrong. Never before or since have you been able to buy a brand new thx ultra 2 certified amp for the rrp of the 805. It was so ahead of everything else that onkyo cannibalized the 806 by using their mid range chassis which was shared by the 706. This is in contrast with the 805 that shared the shame chassis as the 875 and 905. They also weigh closer to 51lbs!

[@seanlacroix]

It's mostly the chassis and heatsink that they cheap out on. The transformers are still pretty hefty, especially when they use the torroidal power supplies.

I still rock a yamaha rx-v2092 from 1997. It does its 125 watts a channel but I only use the center channel to power speakers. I use a mx-2 and m-70 for front and rear surround. The 2092 was their flagship other than the v1 and weighed in at 44 lbs. I had heard that the Z9 and Z11 had issues and I see a lot of them for parts not working on ebay. I always wanted one but decided to add amps instead. I love the old yamaha gear and the Z11 to me was the high water mark. I might take a chance on one someday. Plus even though I absolutely love the 2092 the Z receivers are on a whole different level with features.

[@Quetzalcoatl0]

6:18 Well 187+179 watts at 1% THD, rated is as 0.08%. and in the spec it says "Half Power." How was the test done ? Was the volume at 0db and everything else untouched or it was at +6db or however the max max is?

[@wal]

So my test takes it to 1% THD. Many reviewers in magazines over the years have used clipping as their measurement standard. Yes 1% THD is considerably more (percentage wise) than 1%, but the actual difference in output power is insignificant

[@batsonelectronics]

I have a 2002? TX-DS676 I think is rated at 80/ch driving Klipsch R-620F fronts in a 5.1 setup without the sub. ( complete klipsch speakers ) and it rocks. I went to Onkyo back in the early 90's after having a 120w/ch Sony receiver that was blown away by the Onkyo 70 or 75w/ch surround receiver I got to replace my bedroom setup after a 2 ch Harman Kardon amp got killed by lightning. I also got a pair of JB tower speakers that were all display models heavily discounted at Circuit City. The Onkyo just blew away my beloved Sony with 1/2 the rated power. I have been a Onkyo fan ever since. I got this receiver used several years ago for around $75 after my DS575 ? unit died. They are both from around 2002 and were around $1000 retail I think. Neither have HDMI but both had 4 optical inputs so who cares. I think mine weights close to 30 lbs as well and it is only 5.1 channels. Another great video. Love your stuff.

[@batsonelectronics]

Looks like 32.4 lbs per cnet and 85/ch @ 8ohms. I love the Phono stage on these older amps better than the newer ones. I have an old Onkyo belt table with Ortofon Red stylus. It isn't high end by any means but it sounds sweet. Love all my old Chicago and Monkees albums. Even got an old Flip Wilson record. Cd's are great and everything but the sound is a little different coming from vinyl. Even got an old Rush album. I want a time machine. Go back to the 80's.

[@rjolly87]

solace angler It's hard to say. My unit worked great until it bricked on a software update. Repeated attempts to get the unit up and running finally came through, but no matter what I tried, the primary hdmi output never worked again. The unit went in on a special service program for network chip issues (requiring HDMI board replacement ironically enough) and came back with a working primary output, except that it kept dropping out repeatedly forcing it to reconnect every time, dropping video in the process, with some times not even coming back on its own. Switched back to the secondary hdmi output, relatively no problems at all. Do your research before buying. Keep the receiver cool. I picked mine up second hand, and given that I essentially paid $120-$140 for what was a $1k only a few years prior, I have very few complaints.

[@Toid]

Great Video as shears BigD. I know you don't have a way of testing it, but it would be interesting to see what thr all channels driven output is. One of the deceiving practices of Home Theater Amplifier companies is only stating the 2 channel output, knowing full well at least 5 of the channels will be driven. When that happens you have a dramatically lower number.

Unfortunately you never went back to the pre amp output on this receiver. I own this one and I am going to be hooking it up to external amplifiers.

Id like to see the same test with all channels active. Speakers don’t need to be connected to all channels just switched on in the surround setup. These receivers switch either voltage or current(i forget which) and if all channels are active it drops the rated voltage. Im really curious what the actual output is.

[@clarencejonesiii7970]

Love your videos man. I have a question for you. I recently purchased a pair of Premier Acoustic PA 8.12F speakers rated at 4 ohms and handling power is rated at 200-400 watts. Do you think the ONKYO TX-RZ 820 receiver is strong enough to power these speakers being there rated at 4 ohms ?

[@wal]

Yes! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@tech4life884]

You should test every channel because in all recievers the main channels are the Front channels so manufacturers can put better amplifiers into just those 2 channels and skimp out on the other channels because there not used for equivalent power as the front channels. It would be good to know if ALL CHANNELS on these recievers are equal or do some have lower power output.

[@scottlowell493]

The only specs that matter to me are 20hz-20khz both channels driven. Must be less than 1% THD, not 10%.So what about those specs?

[@johnhodgson5313]

40 Hz should not be a problem with any home theater receiver as most are rated to 20 Hz. It would be interesting to see all channels driven, but that would be a big investment.

I have an audiosource graphic equalizer hooked up to my denon amp from like 92 I want to upgrade to a 4K tv but I need an amp that I can hook up my eq to as well? Any recommendations on an amp that has PB (playback) and tape inputs and outputs that has hdmi for the tv sound? Thanks!

[@DvjLuna]

Onkyo have been rated some of the best recivers on the market for home theater components so I am not all that suprized on the results. Comes to show that you get what you pay for. :) Buy good or top rated brands, usually get quality...

[@spencer82rocks]

I got the itch to buy denon but I saw this one better or what’s the problems behind this ? Why so cheap used to me 1,500 US dollars

[@WeSRT4]

Love me some Onkyo!

[@catch22frubert]

Nice test Big D. I Was always told Onkyo was a decent brand. Looks like this one is a winner

[@wal]

Has been my brand of choice for many years. Yamaha is good too

[@izatt82]

Mine does well and you can run it pretty hard without clipping.

[@TheKomar924]

Damn.!!!! That's powerful.

[@ryanfuller5]

It's a lie. Unless you listen to test tones instead of music. Also, why buy a 9 or 7 channel reciever for stereo 2ch listening? In a home theater setup with 5.1 chs up to max channels, this AVR would run at 80W or less if used as intended.

[@niro56]

@@ryanfuller5 I thought he said the other channels were loaded..

[@mr.amp0076]

What kind of output stage it has.... Class ab - transistor or mosfet, & parts numbers of those transistors?

[@wynbertvk]

If possible do an amp dyno test using onkyo tx-sr875 or tx-sr876. Those two have huge amplifier.

[@bullfrog574]

Is there any way you could have the pioneer premier 9.2 receiver on here..?

[@m0LN4r]

Hi, where did you get the information that it´s rated 130W x 2 @ 8 ohm and 0,008% THD? The datasheet says 150W @ 8ohm Dynamic Power and separately that 0,08% THD is at Half Power ? Can you maybe do a comparison with the TX-RZ840, because it is newer but in the datasheet it is actually rated: TX-RZ810 Dynamic Power 150w @ 8 ohm and 0,08% THD at Half Power TX-RZ840 Dynamic Power 130w @ 8 ohm and 0,08% THD at Half Power And should be weaker, and WTF means at half power? So It means 0,08% THD is only at 2x70W ?

[@yournightmare9999]

Onkyo txrz 810 150w for front stereo only but all channels driven 130w per channel

[@luckyvaliin]

Can i consider that i wouldn't need additional amplifier if i have just this AV receiver ??

[@Darkmanmr47]

Depends on what speakers you are driving... but for all intents and purposes, for the average speaker with 90 db/1m sensitivity you wouldn't need anything else up to a 5.1.2 setup.

[@ccroson7935]

That’s a nice amplifier that you have. I have the 820 and it’s a nice piece but I’m having some questions because I also on an onkyo TXDS 939 from the 1990,s and it sounds better than the new one I am wondering would I be able to send this to you and have you do a dino test on this amplifier

[@wal]

Apple Fire? 👈😜

[@ccroson7935]

@@wal sorry for the typo

[@anishpatel5715]

I couldn't see in the guts shot, but is Onkyo still using an STK op amp?

[@orfeous]

I have Onkyo TX-NR818. Powerful that too

[@badderthanyou]

Can the machine test 20-20khz or only single tones?

[@raycrews5497]

Great video you should do more like this ijs most guys who love car audio love Home audio as well keep up the great work D-WIZ
