CNET Review
The Good: Solid sound quality; five HDMI inputs; relatively inexpensive; onboard Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio decoding; upconverts analog video signal to 1080i; automatic speaker calibration.
The Bad: Slightly less power than the TX-SR607; no built-in Sirius support; analog video upconversion is poor; no true graphical user interface; no 7.1 analog inputs; big and boxy design; Dolby Pro Logic IIz doesn't have much audible effect.
The Bottom Line: The Onkyo HT-RC160 has nearly all the same functionality as the similar TX-SR607, for about $100 less, making it one of the best AV receiver values of the year.
