As the first - and most affordable - of Onkyo’s new-season network-capable A/V receivers, the TX-NR708 brings the audio goldmine of internet radio to your living room. Now you can kick back on the sofa and surf all your favorite channels in superior fidelity. With seven HDMI 1.4a inputs, the TX-NR708 offers copious connection possibilities, as well as 3D video compatibility. For your convenience, one of the HDMI inputs is located on the front panel, along with a USB input for flash memory devices and iPod models. If you want to connect a non-HDMI multichannel component - say, a legacy SACD or DVD player - the TX-NR708 sports a full complement of 7.1-channel analog inputs. The Onkyo name connotes serious audio quality, so it’s no surprise to find low-jitter Burr-Brown DACs and sophisticated Audyssey MultEQ room-correction onboard, along with lossless HD audio formats and the expansive surround dimensions of Audyssey DSX and Dolby Pro Logic IIz. All of this processing and connectivity power receives the coveted THX Select2 Plus stamp of approval. read more..

PC IN issue and 3D issue by Andy MilneI chose the TX-NR708 because of its video de-interlace and up-scaling features. Who'd have thunk a modern flat panel Samsung PN63C7000 63-Inch 1080p 3D Plasma HDTV (Black) would display 480i as 480i? It looked awful! My old PRO-510HD would de-interlace 480i and display it really well. The TX-NR708 certainly resolved my Samsung's 480i issue.
The TX-NR708 can up-scale everything to 1080p - but interestingly not everything looks better at 1080p. I suppose it all depends on the source quality.
The sound is fine and the internet radio features are great. Also, RIHD works, in that my TV can turn on/off the receiver via the HDMI cable.
One issue to watch out for is the PC IN. The max supported input resolution is 1280x1024 @ 60 Hz - and it'll output it through the HDMI output at 1080p supposedly - but I never could get anything from the PC IN to come out anywhere. I did unassign the PC HDMI and PC Component inputs. If someone knows what the secret for routing the analog RGB PC IN signal out the HDMI monitor port please comment.
My TV is 3D capable and using a 3D signal from a Direct TV HR-24 directly to the TV is fine (but shown in 1080i), and the TV's auto detect 3D circuitry works pretty well. But, going through the TX-NR708 does cause an issue where the picture shows as 2 side-by-side images instead of the alternating 3D frames. So, it appears to break the 3D auto detect feature of the TV - not a huge deal because there's a manual setting, but interesting to note.
Would liked to have a switched 120v output from this unit to power my subwoofer.. then it would have been 5 stars.
