"Great Receiver for Home Movie Viewing"
Pros: Price, HDMI 1.3, Styling
Cons: Size of unit is large
Summary: For the cost, the Onkyo 605 is a great performing receiver. Set-up is fairly simple, but it does best if a bit of manual tweaking is added to the speaker settings. If you have more than 2 components you want to connect via HDMI, you'll need to add an HDMI switcher or find a different receiver. The receiver does reach very warm temps, but if enough breathing air is provided, it doesn't overheat. For anyone wanting more bang for the buck, the 605 is perfect. If you've more $$$ to spend, you might want to look at the 705 or higher models. Those on a budget and wanting to upgrade their home theater experience should find the 605 just right.
