Very happy with the sound quality and how clear the dialog is with this system. I do not like LOUD dialog but prefer to listen to movies at medium level. Even at this level the sound is outstanding and the dialog very clear. The Calibrating mike works very well and really brought the system to life. I am coming from a 14 year old Bose System that I rated as just above average and this system is MUCH better. Very happy with all aspects of the system. RC

After doing endless research on quite a few systems I ended up choosing the Onkyo HT-S6200. There's only one word to descibe it. (Phenomenal) This system is unreal! Most HTIBs are pretty much junk. Not Onkyo. Most of my equipment is fairly highend so I really wanted an audio system that would prove itself. I have this badboy feeding out True HD/Master DTS audio from my DMP-BD80 via bitstream to a TC-P54S1 Plasma. Note: I also have a PS3 running through it and as you may know already it won't show your HD codecs lit up as the PS3 sents out audio via PCM. I prefer letting this receiver decode the audio so I'd advise getting a standalone BD player also. Unless you have a slim PS3. It outputs bitstream. Anyways, back on subject. Set up for me took a few days as I mounted all 7 speakers on the walls of my theater space. I also recommend Sanus wall system speaker mounts. One 5 pc kit and one 2 pc kit gets the job done and they give you endless mounting options. Also, I used about 200 ft of 16

Pros * Has the latest HD Decoders for Dolby TrueHD and DTS Master Audio (lossless audio for bluray movies). * HDMI passes through sound, therefore no need for extra audio cables (unlike the HT-S5200) * Sound gets very loud, but maintains clarity. Bass response, tonal balance, dynamic range are very good. * Several listening modes that enhance your experience (Virualize stereo sound into surround sound, i.e. DTS Neo:6) * IPOD dock included. This is normally a seperate item to purchase. Get more use out of your IPOD. * Quality product all around, solidly built. Sleek piano black finish for the speakers. Receiver, clean and simple. Not too large or heavy either, unlike past Onkyo HTIBs. * Affordable! (Amazon had the cheapest price, plus free shipping, plus no tax!) Cons * Does not upconvert sigals to 1080P. Therefore, if your Nintendo Wii displays 480P, then this receive will not upconvert and you will still see 480P. * Does not convert analog signal to digital. Basically,

I spent a couple months researching various components, HTIB packages and every option in between for a combination of good quality, upgradeability and low to mid price range. I finally decided on this because of the reputation behind Onkyo, the 7.1 package and component style receiver which was missing in most of HTIB I found. Set up was with a Sony 42'' Bravia LCD and PS3, which turned out to be super easy. Speaker wires were of good length but may decide to upgrade to better ones later down the line. The auto calibration mic was simple to use and essential for someone like me who isn't the greatest with sound setup. The receiver has everything you'd need for any basic setup you have including a couple game consoles, tv, stereo equipment, ipod dock (really great addition), etc. The audio presets work wonderfully, the menu is easy to navigate even if you can't control it on your tv screen. The speakers sound phenomenal! Coupled with any blu ray movie, they are a world of difference

The Onkyo HT-S6200 is very good, I am running the new LG 240HZ, Direct TV and the Sony BR thru it via HDMI. So far everything is GREAT. Directions are OK, but could be better. It took me a while to figure it out. I set up all devices to run through the RC-737M remote that came with the Onkyo, it's nice to use one remote for everything.

Pros + Amazing sound details - excellent sound processor + Woofer producing good bass + Maintains perfect balance of sound quality for different modes: Music, Movies, Games (This you find not in all HTIBs) + Full HDMI support (both audio and video). + Music: * The detailed original sound from every instrument is great * Very good voice level and quality * The drums and the bass guitar sound is very real. + Movies/Games: * Nice voice clarity * Explosion, gunshots, accident sounds are great Cons - Not the best looking overall - Could have had a better display - Auto calibration reduces bass (so I turned down the woofer before calibrating and it is much better) - Expensive - Neighbors are not happy Other thoughts * Heavy! 70lb * It warms up a bit, but I live in Buffalo so that is not a problem...,lol * I noticed a little delay (may be in few milliseconds) when I connect and play my Yamaha keyboard. Then I turned down something like a sych settings and it is much better.

Price is reasonable. Shipped fast and FREE Setup is simple - but don't rush it. I'd advise ordering banana plugs, and better (longer) speaker wire, 16ga max. Watched '300' Ultimate on PS3 in TrueHD.... WOW! The sound is amazing, the lttle sub is brutal, it really thumps strong and clean. 2.0, 5.1, 7.1, etc. they all sound great, excellent seperation from all speakers, mp3s & CDs are awesome too. -A sad tale with a happy ending- The unit switched into 'protect mode'. Tried all the fixes that I could google, 'cept for opening the unit myself, but why risk voiding the warranty, I'd only had it for 1-2 weeks. Onkyo tech suggested I call Amazon, and without hesitation Amazon sent a replacement, no questions asked. Another 70+lb box arrived 2 days later. I replaced the receiver and a rattling speaker that worked, but had some loose parts inside, the speakers seem sealed. No issues with the new receiver so far. I'm very pleased.

I am very pleased with my purchase it sounds great and was not that hard to set up. It comes with a mic for the audesy auto tuning it took about 10 min but now they sound great. All of the speakers except the sub which is very large are made to hang on the wall but they do come with little rubber stickers for the feet it you want to place them on something. The system is very loud putting it above 50 is sure to upset the neighbors. But it is very clear and the dialog in movies is much easier to hear than just my normal tv. The ipod dock is nice the remote will control some basic ipod functions. It makes my ps3 sound great also it gave a level of depth to games i play that i have not experienced before. I would recommend this system to my friends. I will edit this review if there are any problems.
