The combination of the superb remote control and a really crisp and informative new GUI helps the TX-NR906 get off to a flying start.

Configuration and set-up are supremely easy. However, the initial measurements made by the Audyssey auto set-up in my room managed to set every channel bar the surround backs to the maximum decrease of -12dB presumably due to my large, efficient speakers. This eliminated any relevant balancing between channels and made the centre speaker far too proud in the mix.

Aside from decoding just about everything, the TX-NR906 is an excellent hub that takes in all your sources, sorts them out for easy access, then sends them out to your TV and speakers shiny and clean like they’ve just been through a car wash. On the video switching side, you get the expected assortment of analog (s-video, composite, component) inputs for legacy equipment, plus four HDMI inputs and 2 HDMI outputs. Video gets spiced up with Silicon Optix’s HQV Reon-VX processing that handles resolution upscaling to 1080p from any video source. It also includes Image Science Foundation Certified Calibration Controls (ISFccc) support for professionals (or daring amateurs) to tweak every facet of the picture and store these settings per input, just as Dr. Silver (Joel, to his friends) recommends.

A 7.1 multi-channel input and preamp outputs are included, as well as dual stereo outputs for zones two and three, allowing the TX-NR906 to control up to three zones. Six digital inputs, three optical, three coaxial and even a phono input for moving magnet cartridges are present, allowing up to 11 stereo analog inputs. Control is covered with an RS-232 port, as well as Onkyo RI control jack and 12-volt trigger. AM and FM antenna ports and both XM and Sirius radio ports are there, too. An Ethernet port and a removable IEC power cord with a single ungrounded switched outlet finish off the connectivity.

Review By Cnet

The supplied remote control is large, but well balanced and light. The buttons can also be illuminated, which means, in a darkened home cinema, you should still be able to control the volume without hammering all the wrong buttons first.

The back of the TX-NR906 is jammed full of input and outputs, as you’d imagine. Lets start with the basics. There are four HDMI inputs and two outputs, which is generous enough. It’s good to see the HDMI inputs are numbered — you wouldn’t believe how important this is when you’re setting the equipment up.

Review By Techradar

The excellent onscreen menu, meanwhile, makes manual audio adjustments an absolute breeze. It’s one of the most sophisticated setup menus we’ve ever seen on an AV receiver, using jazzy graphics and a tidy layout.

And despite being crammed with buttons, the remote is quick to master. Everything is clearly labelled and sensibly positioned, while the backlight is a helpful feature for making changes with the lights off. It can get slightly confusing when switching between the various ‘remote modes’ but otherwise it’s a superb zapper.
