Product Description
A Networking Powerhouse That Brings High-End Performance to a Wider Audience Than Ever
In one powerhouse unit, the TX-NR3007 combines the finesse and flexibility of a ballerina with the balance and brawn of a sumo wrestler. 9.2 audio channels expand the possibilities both for multi-zone playback and for the new surround dimensions of Audyssey DSXTM and Dolby® Pro Logic® IIz. Advanced networking capability, meanwhile, lets you bring streaming internet radio and PC-based music files into your home entertainment set-up. Digital audio signals are converted by Onkyo's VLSCTM into smooth, noiseless analog waveforms, while selected Audyssey and Dolby technologies maintain a well-balanced frequency response and dynamic range at any volume. Video processing on the TX-NR3007 is also second to none, with 1080p upscaling of any video source via HQV Reon-VX. To witness Onkyo's renowned attention to build quality, check out the fully isolated power amp and pre-pro, along with the independent power supplies for system, video, and audio circuitry. In short, if you're serious about building a home entertainment network on the firmest possible foundations, look no further than the TX-NR3007.

 Known Design Flaw--Consider other models August 22, 2010
Robert (BURKE, Vatican City State (Holy See))

Have had nothing but problems with this unit. It will suddenly "lose" configuration of the speakers and your unit just goes "dumb." The temporary fix is to "CTL-ALT-DEL" the unit by pressing the VCR and STANDBY button simultaneously which resets the machine to factory settings. That means you've lost all your speaker settings, equalizer settings, the connection paths from component to RCVR, the sound settings for each component, etc. It takes hours to reprogram and just when you get it back, it happens again. No rhyme or reason. 2nd time, I paid pro's to come in and see if I had messed something up. I had not. After 3rd time, Onkyo tech, after a 2 week call-back time (they claim they are overwhelmed with calls--ya think?) intimated it's a known s/w flaw they have not been able to debug--you have to bring it into a dealer. Unfortunately, not all of Amazon's dealers are "certified." Estimate to fix my unit on my dime: $500-$700. Alot of $ for a unit that I've had for 3 months and has failed 3x, ruining 3 family and friend gatherings. Why do these people sell devices they know are not flawed, and may not be warrantied? Another Amazon Electronics failure--these guys are only good for books. Brothers and Sisters--pls look elsewhere.
28 Aug 10/Update: Some additional information with Vann's service. DO NOT TRUST VANN'S. Their 3rd party sub-contractor service rep called today. Rep said the 3007 is a new model so there is not alot off data and they [Onkyo] are still working out the bugs--they know this is an issue. Onkyo tech tried to help (pull out all speaker wires and re-attach). No joy.
Worse, this is how Vann's contracted repair handles tech issues. They just wait for the problem to re-occur. Seriously. No analysis. Not that they hook the AVR into a monitoring system to gather data as the system is working to catch and record the spurious failure. They just plug it in and wait until it happens again. That provides no more information than what I can explain--no telemetry is gathered. The tech "Jimmy" told me and I quote "Vann's only pays me $50 to fix it--that's not enough to do anything else [except plug it in]." In other words, buy from Vann's and you are on your own. He said after 90 days, if the problem has not re-occurred, they send the unit back untouched. Onkyo will not take unit back as it over 30 days old. I asked how I would watch BR, DVDs, IPOD, etc. in the meantime and he said that's not his problem. In other words, no AV Center for up to 3 months while Vann's waits for the problem to re-occur. If it does re-occur. he has to wait for Vann's to give him authority to do more. Vann's never sends the unit back to Onkyo. Folks, I'd stay away from this model and I would stay away from ANYTHING VANN'S sells. I have alot of problems with electronics I buy from Amazon--I think, like Columbia House, used to get years ago, items that are just below the quality threshold (that's why they could get them to you so cheap). I will never purchase electronics from Amazon again, not buy Onkyo until the item is seasoned if at all, and never never trust Vann's as a distributor again. Please don't make the same mistake I did. As a disabeld vet, I have no idea what to do next except wait for Amazon to do the right thing and refund my money under their A-Z Gurantee.
 Nice Receiver but there is room for Improvements August 4, 2010

I bought Onkyo 3007 to replace a 9 years old JVC 8000V receiver which did not have HDMI terminals. In this age of compressed audio I still needed a receiver with low THD (total harmonic distortion), enough power and networkable. At the time of my purchase Amazon.com did not have any in stock so I went with Nebraska Furniture Mart (a company that belongs to Warren Buffett, the Oracle of Omaha.) I paid about $150 more but 3 years 0% financing and free delivery (+ Tax.) The receiver was a part of a package deal that included a Panasonic DMP BD-85 Blue Ray player and a Panasonic TC P46 G25 46" Plasma TV. All of these are integrated in my wireless home network using a Buffolo WLI-TX4-AG300N wireless bridge (purchased from Amazon) to connect all of the three components' ethernet inputs to my wireless home network. I will post the review of the other devices in their appropriate pages. It is easy to obtain the specifics of the receiver on the web. Just go to [...] web site and look into the recever's manual. Instead of stating the obvious I will present you the networking capabilities of this receiver. After reading the networking section of the manual I misinterpreted its capabilities thinking I could access video files on my computer via Microsoft Media server through the wireless network file sharing. The manual states that you can play music media files by turning the file sharing on in your Microsoft media server. I guess I mislead myself to believe I can playback anything in my media server. Sure you can play music files in your computer if you set up everything correctly but not video files. Once you connect everything the setup is guided by the TV screen and is relativelyt easy. Even setting the multibrand/learning remote control is well thought. You point it to the receiver and choose from menues on the TV screen, following the on screen instructions. However be prepared to configure several buttons by using the learning mode of the remote. The manual says this is normal. I am not sure why companies cannot come together and make life easier for their customer by adopting iron clad standards. It is just a question of having a good database for the control codes.
Once you connect to the Internet (via ethernet) it is eaasy to acess Rhapsody, Pandora or any internet radio through v-tuner. One problem with v-tuner is if you want to have a set of favorites you need to register (free, but you are sacrificing your privacy) with Onkyo Web Site. The user interface with v-tunes does not give much information and if the music is dropped for any reason more than a few seconds, the tuner goes to the next station in your favorites list. For control freaks it is ennoying. You can even see internet settings of the receiver on your computer and change them. The USB ports allow you to playback several different types of music files stored on a memory stick, but i-pod requires an optional adapter (which I do not have b/c I do not use an i-pod.)
I use a 5.1 setup and do not have a use for multiroom capabilities so I cannot comment on them. I did not like the Audyssey's calibration result and for movies or TV I am using the THX Movie preset and for music (I only listen to classical music CDs and some internet radio) Ifound Neo: 6 quite satisfying. The firmware update takes about an hour but among other things it lowers the relay switching noise. There are many more features and details. It will take you a while to learn them all.
I think receivers, including Onkyo 3007 are behind technology in implementing video processing, internet access, wireless networking, and computer/smart phone integration. Streaming video and audio is quickly becoming the norm, not the leading edge.
My opinion is that Copy Rigths Management concerns, proprietary implementations and lack of cooperation between manifacturers limit innovation and inclusion of technology that already exists. This in turn inconveniences and punishes the law-abiding majority without really stopping the crooks. Ultimately, this will cost content prividers and hardware makers even more than a few dollars they may recoup, because ennoying restrictions in the use of their products by paying customers may make these customers to give up on these innovations.
 Excellent choice June 15, 2010

I am using this amp for more than two months along with Klipshe RF82
speaker system. Previously I was using Yamaha 2095 amp.
The results are excellent and I am very happy about the purchase.
love this receiver April 25, 2010

I bought this receiver to go in my basement which is big, to replace my prior receiver which was a lesspowerful yamahqa receiver. I have it hooked up to big klipshe speakers in a 7.1 formation. a 72 inch tv and a blueray. The sound is awesome. it is easy to set up. last night i watched with friends the led zepplin blueray movie of their 1973 visit to newyork and the guitarplaying of jimmie page came out so crispy clear. I have no regrets whatever paying the extra bit for this receiver

Below is a review of the TX-NR 3007
My System:
DVp-602ci Video Processor
TX-NR3007
PDP-6020 Pioneer TV
Midrange V2s Tower Speakers (2)
Mirage S12 Powered Subwoofer
Mirage V2s Omnistat satellites (4)
Mirage Omnistat V2cc Center
Dish VIP 622
OPPO BDP 83
SETUP:
First let me say the setup was harder than I thought. The quick setup quite (paper hard copy supplied) was a lifesaver. For those of us that are a bit older, the speaker connections can be hard to see. I would have preferred to have the speaker inputs color coded better like the TX-SR705 (this replaced that one). From start to finish it took me about 90 minutes. My suggestion to anyone purchasing the "NR" models is to connect the speakers and then go right to the speaker set up. I saved myself a lot of hassle by reading this forum first. You must use the supplied microphone and SET UP THE SPEAKERS FIRST. The GUI is helpful but not necessarily intuitive. It took some playing around for me to get to the correct menus and set up everything to my taste.
VIDEO
I use a Denon DVP-602ci. That system uses the Realta T2 Chip. I already had a nice picture for HD sources and a good picture for SD sources. The Reon VX chip took my picture to the next level. It is not so much dramatic as it is 'refined". I am using the low settings for all noise reduction settings. Basically I feed 1080i from the cable box to the processor and output 1080i from the processor to the receiver. The racier is set to 1080P. The processor is the hub for noise reduction and the receiver does all the scaling and de interlacing. The combination is incredible. Besides no video noise at all, the picture is just more crisp and clean with what appears (I am sure it is not the actual case) deeper black levels and contrast. I am extremely picky when it comes to video. The ISF night/day modes work well too. I switch between them and the low noise reduction settings with ISF set to custom. I also tried the picture without the Denon processor in the mix. While the combination is the best it still puts out a really good picture. I was very skeptical of the implementation of the Reon VX on a receiver. It seems to be a good one.
SOUND
My speakers sounded okay with the 705. This is another level all together. Onkyo has moved away from booming sounds. It is much more balanced and refined. The Audyssey EQ system works flawlessly. NO LOUD COMMERCIALS. All HD codes are properly processed. I also have not had any clicking noises (so far tg). The other thing I like is this receiver has much more gradations for volume. It makes it much easier to dial in the perfect volume without going up or down too far.
In a nutshell the TX-Nr3007 is 9.5 out of 10 for me!
