This integrated system has a couple of temperament issues, as well as a couple of real deficiencies that you should know about, however. First, the Farroudja video upscaling won’t be really useful or detectable. Second, the receiver and speakers perform wonderfully as a team, although less so with other machines.
Onkyo systems have a well-earned reputation for not playing well with others, which means that if you have invested in a couple of non-Onkyo devices, be willing to do a little adjusting. Third, Onkyo also regularly creates remote controls that owners either love or hate. Luckily, these remotes are effortlessly replaced by purchased universal remotes. Finally, despite the fact that these types of features are provided on a few of Onkyos more inexpensive components the Onkyo HT-S9100THX Home Theater Receiver does not have 3D capability or an included iPhone dock.
