Onkyo 701 and 702

[milaz001]

I just ordered a 701 because, when comparing it to the 702, I couldn't find any difference except for the lower price. The Onkyo webpage and the Crutchfield page both give identical stats for these units.

Any thoughts? The 701 seems like a great player.

Also, the Oade Brothers page indicates that the 501 has Burr Brown D/A converters. What about the 701?

Thanks, in advance...

The 702 has Dolby PLIIx (as do all the new Onkyo receivers), a new microphone-based setup facility...and some other new features that are still nebulous at this time. It also has 7 channels of amplification vs. 6 for the 701. It should also have more power than the 701...not sure yet. They up'ed the 602 to 7 x 110 watts from the 601's 6 x 85 watts! Not available until September.

Guys, I think he is referring to the onkyo DV-CP701 and 702 DVD PLayers, Hence this is the DVD Player forum. :)

Onkyo TX-SR701 does have preouts for all 7.1 channels. Oooops, helps to read and know what forum one's in. TRNST7 is right, he's referring to DVD players.

Right. I was referring to the DVD players.

LOL... I'm looking through this thread to find out about the 'receiver'...
I own one...I'm trying to find out how the auto-EQ works next to Avia's calibration disk. Maybe I should read the thread's subject as well.
