Take a look at Onkyo's first home theater system capable of passing 1080p video and studio-master-quality audio, such as DTS-HD Master Audio and Dolby TrueHD. With HDMI version 1.3a as your link, the HT-SP908 becomes a home theater dynamo with some real versatility. The 7.1-channel A/V receiver and HD conversion DVD/CD/MP3 player combine to expertly handle DVD, broadcasts, CDs, digital music and video files from your computer, and satellite radio. You can also bring your iPod to the party with the included RI Dock, which neatly integrates the device into your home entertainment system. With many of the features found in Onkyo's high-def A/V receiver line-up - Audyssey 2EQ, Faroudja DCDi, RIHD, HDMI and component video upconversion - the HT-SP908 looks every bit the total solution.

Summary: Receiver had problems
Comment: The sound quality is good but the speakers are way too big. I have had a problem with my receiver. I just got it installed yesterday and the best buy agent who installed it said that one of the ports for the speaker is not working. Also the satellite agent was not able to get any reception from the HDMI. So I am waiting to see if this too is a problem with the receiver. I plan to call amazon to replace the receiver.

Summary: Great product, not so good overall experience
Comment: I read the other amazon reviews for this product, and I agree on most, specially those that rate it between 4 and 5 stars. My only gripe is that when I received it and installed it, after two weeks of enjoyment it stopped working; concerned, I troubleshoot and went online to see if other people had experienced the same problems I had (the system stopped sending HDMI image and sound to the TV, from HDMI input signals), and it resulted no solution existed rather than send it back to the original seller or to Onkyo themselves; I had to go through the (awesomely simple) amazon returns process, and after receiving the replacement, and setting it up, everything worked perfectly and I'm the happy owner of this great system.
I know it's not a high-end system, but for the budget I decided to spend in a HTIB system, and at the time of purchase, few options are better than this. I'm very satisfied with the functionalities, it's very future-proof and I happily recommend it to anyone interested.

Summary: Very Pleased
Comment: Well this is my second surround system. First was a cheap Realistic to learn from. I went to the brick and mortar stores to listen to a bunch, then I settled on this Onkyo. Every thing was pretty simple, some people had trouble with the speaker mounting, I did not. I seen one review where a guy said that you have crank the power up to far to hear the speakers, well don't know what they are talking about. The only reason I give 4 stars instead of 5 is that when you spend this kind of money I just think they could give you 5 dollars more worth of wire. I bought a spool of 14 gauge wire and I'm happy I did. his system is great for the non techy home owner, I love it.

Summary: All you need to start your own HD setup
Comment: You get what they tell you it is, a system that is capable of HD quality sound. What more could you ask for at this price. The speakers it comes with do well enough for a small to mid size room any bigger and you may need to upgrade several of the speakers to achieve quality sound. Other than that, its a good buy.

Summary: AMAZON AMAZED
Comment: First, I am very satisfied with the whole process of shopping through Amazon.com. Great reviews provided for the products. I purchased this product after a great deal of research on multiple sites, including Consumer Reports. I had never heard of Onkyo before, but I liked their extensive HTIB packages. I settled on this one because of the many features, including the speaker optimization. It was great to watch the price change almost daily on amazon and I ended up paying about $50 less than when I originally decided to buy and overall saved $200 off retail (not to mention no tax or shipping). Now to the product. Everything arrived intact via CEVA delivery and within timeframe promised. Setup was easy with exception of hooking on the speaker wires without banana plugs as due to the number of speakers, it was very cramped to insert the wire into the connectors on the receiver. In my final setup, I attached banana plugs to the wiring. Comprehensive remote provided with the receiver. I purchased a Rocketfish Wireless Speaker Kit for my rear surround speakers, works fine although intermittently interferes with my wireless internet. I love Onkyo's multple surround sounds options. The receiver is large and heavy but has a plethora of connectors including 2 HDMI inputs. Inside my TV stand cabinet with glass doors the heat builds up quite a bit. I may have to take the door off. Included DVD player with upscale to 1080i works nicely. Very pleased with sound. Not very good FM/AM radion pickup in my area with just the included antennas. I have not added a XM or Sirrus antenna yet. Anyway, I am tickled pink for the two weeks I have had it so far.
