What does the Onkyo tx-sr601 receiver look like?

The SR601’s brushed-aluminum faceplate looks clean enough, yet it still houses all of the necessary buttons and controls. It comes in your choice of black or silver. The receiver puts out a fair amount of heat, so don’t plan on placing it in an enclosed cabinet or on closely spaced shelving–it needs breathing room.

How does Zone 2 work on an Onkyo receiver?

The receiver’s Zone 2 capability can power stereo speakers in a second room and process separate stereo sources simultaneously for each zone/room, or it can send the same signal to both. A 12-volt trigger output can activate a component (such as a separate power amp) located in the second zone.

Is there a toll free Onkyo customer service number?

As A/V receivers are complicated devices and can be confusing to hook up and use, Onkyo now provides a toll-free customer-service number–technical-support personnel are standing by, seven days a week to answer your questions. You also get a two-year parts-and-labor warranty.

Is the Onkyo remote backlit or partially backlit?

Onkyo has been using the same large, partially backlit remote for years. We don’t have a problem with that–it’s easy to use.
