Reviews around job (5.00 of 5)

  • The sub is phenomenal and powerful, the speakers are really well made, and the atmos upfiring speakers do a good (not great) job
  • Even so, this unit does a great job at filling the room with sound.
  • Amazon did a great job seeing that I got a replacement item promptly
  • For watching movies it does a good job, but not so much when listening to music
  • It does a great job for what it is, but don't expect it to sound like a high-end beast.

Reviews around product (4.75 of 5)

  • But without sound and apparently no one to help with that issue I can't recommend this product.
  • Great product, great sound and great price from Amazon!
  • Probably will never purchase or recommend another Onkyo product to anyone.
  • It really seemed like a great product, but obviously it was not.
  • As a casual audiophile, this product works fine in our 25x25ft family room.

Reviews around atmos (4.45 of 5)

  • but you have to have a Dolby Atmos capable source (i.e. XBOX ONE S, expensive Blu Ray player, etc.).
  • I have not had a movie that is Dolby ATMOS compatible yet but will soon
  • By the way, there is no Dolby Atmos decoding, fine with me because as of this time I only have 5 blurays with such sound track
  • the HT-S7800 DOES NOT SUPPORT DOLBY ATMOS (DD+) OVER ARC
  • This is because the front speakers also include the top firing Dolby atmos speakers in the top of speakers as well as the regular front speakers.

Reviews around surround (4.40 of 5)

  • Obviously any proper surround sound system will be set up with HDMI pass through
  • Its surround sound, loud has some kick to it
  • If you are just looking for very good surround sound and not too expensive, then this is what you need.
  • This is a great surround sound system for our basement home theatre
  • Only issue, had to contact manufacturer for a "clicking" sound in right surround channel

Reviews around quality (3.81 of 5)

  • Overall, Onkyo ought to be ashamed of themselves for this cheap, poor quality mess.
  • The point is the apps/remotes are pretty piss poor quality but the sound and look of the system are A+.
  • This particular onkyo receiver doesn't hold much power, which may be the reason why the sound quality for streaming and television may be so weak
  • The Speaker wire that came with the system is not good quality and you will lose much sound
  • The sound quality is great for the room that they are positioned.

Reviews around setup (3.80 of 5)

  • Easy setup and good user manual that can be downloaded from Onkyo's web site
  • The setup of dolby atmos is actually confusing to me at this
  • yet I did not have the money to purchase an extremely expensive setup.
  • the sound itself isn’t even as impressive as my last setup and this is supposed to be the Atmos leap
  • The sound is terrific, setup was a snap and we are enjoying it immensely

Reviews around speaker (3.44 of 5)

  • The front right and front left speaker actually have 2 speakers in each one.
  • 2 for the front firing, and 2 for the "height" or top firing speakers
  • On the Onkyo SKH-410 details it says you can mount these to the top of the front left and right speakers or use them individually
  • Before this I had a behringer 15" 1000 watt loud speaker and it was
  • In my opinion, the five speakers are cheap quality, so its sounds, cheap

Reviews around unit (3.32 of 5)

  • initial impressions: out of the box, fantastic unit for the price point
  • While it was used it came packaged very well and the entire unit looked like a new one.
  • I need a replacement the unit was damaged an you can see that someone painted it
  • As far as an in box all-in-one surround sound goes, this unit is incredible
  • Can't say if I possibly got a bad unit, or not, but I wasn't satisfied and returned the unit.

Reviews around receiver (3.13 of 5)

  • Receiver has audio loss and static after only 7 months of use on conditioned power
  • The "Dolby Atmos Enabled" in this package means the receiver is capable of processing Dolby Atmos movies
  • would definitely recommend this a/v receiver to anyone interested in a solid dolby atmos setup
  • Receiver was almost impossible to set up to turn on and off correctly with a multi-unit remote.
  • During setup process, the receiver would freeze & flicker when it came to step 5 for the ARC setup.

Reviews around support (1.41 of 5)

  • I think there may be limitations on dolby atmos being used it not recorded atIn all, better hdmi ports support up to 60hz at 4k resolutions, addition of dolby atmos sound mode(s) and to use dolby atmost out of the box, more sound output, wifi and Bluetooth built in, accueq replacing auddyssey almost negligible (I would still love to see audyssey over accueq but onkyo just didn't want to pay for licensing of audyssey but negligible since I explained both are almost same thing plus accueq was developed with dolby and onkyo so it might be better for the dolby atmos mode if used
  • Now on to the more important issue, they "according to Onkyo website and poor tech support" only have limited repair facilities, as an example if you live in San Fran, your closest repair is "billybobs tv repair on Edinger ave
  • Onkyo support has been useless and now I have to pay to ship the unit back for repair
  • I really want to give it 5 stars but it was so frustrating to update the firmware that I was on the brink of returning it-mostly because the support you can find online is pretty bad
  • I am extremely unhappy about the quality of the product, and the support I have received from Onkyo

Reviews around noise (1.00 of 5)

  • When I bought this system I thought it was an incredible value, but after less than a year of not very intense use, it started shutting off whenever there's a loud noise in whatever I'm watching.
  • If your interest is loud noise by all means the newer systems are the ones for you.
  • After a couple hours of troubleshooting (trying different HDMI ports, reconnecting the speaker wires, resetting the unit, etc.) it simply seemed like any time the sound ramped up or there was a loud noise the unit would switch off.
  • Then while watching tv it started making odd static noises, squeaking and loud thud and pop noise then the sound stopped working.
  • Well I had this for about a year when the receiver started putting out a terrible humming noise to the speakers.

Reviews around neighbor (1.00 of 5)

  • It didn't bother me, but I turned the subwoofer down to avoid upsetting neighbors I share a wall with
  • This system is the one for you if you DO NOT want to disturb the neighbors
  • My neighbors hate me, because this thing pumps the noise
  • It's loud and can really upset your neighbors (especially if he/she is one of those who complain over you sighing

Reviews around sub woofer (1.00 of 5)

  • the sub-woofer had a capacitor/transistor blow (lovely sulfur smell)
  • This is replacing a 12+ year old Onkyo system on which the sub woofer and one of the front speakers had gone bad, crackling so bad they had to be disconnected
