Product Description
If you want an idea of where Onkyo’s home theater packages are heading, the HT-S5200 is well worth checking out. Like previous Onkyo 7.1-channel receiver/speaker packages, the HT-S5200 delivers reassuringly hefty amounts of power and all-round performance. And in line with other recent offerings, it’s also perfectly suited for high-definition entertainment in the home: 1080p video takes center stage from sources such as Blu-ray Disc, DVD, HD broadcasting, and gaming. The emphasis is still on Onkyo’s audio prowess, so the HT-S5200 is equipped with three groundbreaking Audyssey technologies that will give you the edge in terms of surround sound. It also features some exciting innovations from Onkyo: a dedicated port that connects the iPod via the Dock for the iPod and DSP modes specifically designed for gaming.

Ordered item that was supposed to be in stock and available. Five days after order and no response made inquiry only to discover item was not only not in stock, they expected to have item in 2 weeks (maybe). My suggestion is be cautious if ordering from this vendor.

Please correct me if I’m wrong, I’m certainly no expert. But this model requires an external audio input, either optical or coax – it doesn’t get the audio off of the HDMI (pass-thru only). And from what I read, optical or coax only pass 5.1. I know it synthesizes 7.1 from 5.1 encoding, but is that the same as native 7.1 from a blu-ray? The next model up, the S6200, does get the audio input off the HDMI; so it seems like the better choice. But I’m sure that for all practical purposes, this one sounds great. (I’m sure it doesn’t deserve ‘one star’ – I just wanted to call attention to this point.)

I thought I would be getting a really good deal but as usual, I did not. The subwoofer rattles and I’m getting almost no surround effect. I would not purchase this item again and If I had the original packaging I would ship it back.

What a bang for the buck! Easy set up. Looks and sounds awesome! So many features and great quality for the money.

This is a great setup but there is one problem…the wiring hookup from the receiver to the speakers is really badly designed….For the life of me, I cannot understand why they would use such an inadequate design….It is very iffy in trying to connect the speakers to the receiver…be sure to look at this prior to buying…if I had noticed I would have bought another system
