11 best budget home theater receivers

Absolutely, I'd be happy to help you out with information on budget home theater receivers! These are essentially the heart of your home audio setup, coordinating and amplifying the signals for an immersive audio experience.

Budget receivers usually offer a good balance between performance and cost. They typically have enough power to drive entry to mid-level speakers and provide sufficient audio processing for a satisfying home theater experience. Some key features to consider:

  1. Power Output: Look for a receiver that has enough power to drive your speakers effectively. Consider the wattage per channel, but also be mindful of the speaker's sensitivity.

  2. Channels: Determine the number of channels you need. A 5.1 system includes five speakers and a subwoofer, while a 7.1 system adds two more rear speakers. More channels often provide a more immersive experience.

  3. HDMI Ports: Ensure the receiver has sufficient HDMI inputs for your devices like Blu-ray players, gaming consoles, and streaming devices.Also, check if it supports the latest HDMI standards for 4K video and HDR.

  4. Audio Formats: Look for support for audio formats like Dolby Atmos and DTS:X for a more three-dimensional sound experience.

  5. Streaming Features: Some budget receivers come with built-in Bluetooth or Wi-Fi capabilities, allowing you to stream music wirelessly from your devices.

  6. Room Calibration: Many receivers have room calibration features that optimize audio settings based on the acoustics of your room. This ensures the best sound quality possible.

Popular brands offering budget-friendly options include Denon, Yamaha, Onkyo, and Pioneer. Keep an eye out for sales or refurbished units for additional cost savings.

Onkyo

Based on 9 reviews Check latest price

Product description

by Crutchfield's Barry Montgomery Looking for state-of-the-art home theater sound and a wealth of convenenience features? You've come to the right place! Onkyo's TX-SR501 delivers all the high-impact excitement and three-dimensional sonic realism that 6.1-channel Dolby Digital EX and DTS-ES have to offer. 65 full-bandwidth-rated watts x 6 channels of home theater power team up with advanced 24-bit surround decoding to create incredibly lifelike, 360° soundscapes in your living room. DTS Neo:6 modes let you transform stereo music and older surround sources into convincing 6.1 audio. Onkyo's CinemaFILTER adjusts the tonal balance of soundtracks mixed for movie theaters for optimal playback in home theater settings.

Onkyo's affordable and remarkably versatile TX-SR501 6.1-channel surround receiver is ideal for home theater novices as well as budget-conscious veterans looking for an upgrade from 5.1 to 6.1. Those new to home theater will sigh in relief at the receiver's user-friendly design, which uses color-coded inputs and outputs, a logically laid-out front panel, and an easy-to-use, preprogrammed remote control. Those looking to upgrade their current home theater receiver will be impressed with the receiver's six, high-current channels (65 watts per channel) and processing for all major surround formats, and then some, including Dolby Digital EX (6.1) and DTS-ES.

Further, Onkyo includes a number of exclusive audio-enhancing features and technologies, like discrete output stages, high-bandwidth WRAT (Wide Range Amplifier Technology), a reduced-NFB (negative feedback) design, and CinemaFILTER (to yield the smoothest sound at any volume).

The TX-SR501 handles a range of audio and video components, from front-panel audio/video/S-video jacks for simple hookups with camcorders, game consoles, and VCRs, to multiple rear-panel inputs including two high-resolution component-video inputs, a set of multichannel RCA analog inputs (perfect for use with a DVD-Audio or SACD player's high-resolution analog outputs), and a trio of digital-audio ins (two optical, one coaxial) for DVD players, a satellite receiver, a DVD player, and other gear.

Routing your DVD player's and VCR's audio and video signals to the receiver before sending them on to your TV simplifies AV source switching, since you can do it all with the receiver's remote rather than having to switch inputs on your receiver and your television.

What's in the Box

Receiver, remote control, remote batteries, AM/FM antennas, user's manual, and warranty/registration information.

  • 65 high-current watts x 6 channels with Wide Range Amplifier Technology (WRAT), 96 kHz/24-bit D/A converters

User questions & answers

Question: Can i use the mb42x-c speakers even though impedance varies between 4 to 8 ohms? the receiver impedance says 6-16 ohms. will i be ok
Answer: My Sony PS-LX250H works very nicely with this receiver. There is no phono input. So I plugged the red and white RCA's into the SAT/CATV input jack.
Question: So this connects multiple speakers with Bluetooth
Answer: 40 watts
Question: are the hdmi inputs actual inputs or just pass thru
Answer: Dear Consumer, thanks for your question! Pls kindly noted that it doesn't work that way. The subwoofer acts like your echo studio. You pair a sound source device (phone, tablet, laptop,TV) to the subwoofer together with speakers to play sound from. For the method of connection pls check the description in this page, for more questions, pls feel free to contact [email protected].
Question: I'm looking for a good sony reciever that i can hook my turntable up to from the back
Answer: Yes. I used a single RCA Male to Male, then a Y adapter to go from RCA Female to 2 RCA Males. Works very well.

User questions & answers

Question: Do I need to use an optical cable to set up my tv? I thought an HDMI would do, but I cannot hear any sound without use of an optical cable

With that every thing else you connect in the back of your receiver HDMI port like the blue ray , Amazon Fire TV , projector ect souls come up on your TV screen with a sound . If not your receiver sound is low just increase your receiver sound higher Using the remote and the sound Should come out .

User questions & answers

Question: Do you need a tv to set up pandora or a wireless connection
Answer: I was wondering too! The one I am replacing was bought from Amazon Jan. 2015. It stated Poland on the Glass, but nothing on the plastic. Now they all seem to state Portugal on the glass portion. I like the BODUM embossed plastic frame, but it is an older model with the flat top and D handle. Even Bodum does updates.
Question: Are the hook up's for subwoofer is that for a powered sub woofer speaker or a passive
Answer: Beaker is glass. The handle and the part that the beaker fits into is plastic.
Question: I plug in an antenna that goes to my outside wireless speakers in the headphone jack, on some receivers this turns off my inside connected speakers
Answer: I had the other Brazil version. I was able to remove the beaker. VERY CAREFUL, it is in there tight. SOAP and warm water, you should get some movement from it. I wouldn't recommend removing the beaker unless you really have to clean it. If you don't feel comfortable removing the beaker, then I wouldn't.
Question: How many watts per channel for 8ohm speakers if only using front two , center speaker with sub woofer and no surround sound
Answer: It is sad, isn't it, that some misguided bean counter at Bodun decided to earn a bonus by replacing a sturdy, metal piece (like my 30 year old Bodun has) with that ridiculous piece of plastic; saving, what? Two cents worth? Well, that was mine. I will take another commenter's advice and be gentle. It is informative that the elaborate pictures in the description do not show this particular piece; apparently they know.

User questions & answers

Question: Even though there is no subwoofer output, can one be connected anyway
Answer: NO!! There are line out jacks but they are fixed, not variable. This means when you turn the volume knob up and down, the volume to the subwoofer stays the same level. See page 10 of the manual here: https://usa.yamaha.com/files/download/other_assets/2/794512/web_ZU46020_R-S202_om_UA_En.pdf
Question: What is the Bluetooth range
Answer: There are 3 classes of BT devices. The ranges are under 10m (Class3); 10m (Class2) and 100m (Class3). The range you get between two devices will be the range of the least powerful device. If that's a cell phone streaming music, expect less than ten meters. If it is a computer with a Class2 BT radio, expect a solid ten meters. But the only way you will get more than ten meters (30 feet) reliably, is if both devices are Class 3. And portable devices rarely are.
Question: can i hook up my turmtable as well
Answer: I have a question more than answer. My turntable is the rather cheap, ION LP mp3 converter, it has a built in preamp, has a pair of red white RCA output. BUT, WHEN I PLUG IT INTO THE #3 RCA PORT, AS INDICATED ON THE PRODUCT PAGE FOR TURNTABLE, the speakers have no sound. Now, my "speaker" is a Yamaha HS5 monitor, it's hooked to the OUT RCA port via a 1/4" jack at the back of the monitor. I suppose I'll have to use proper hi-fi speakers connected via the loose wire ports?
Question: So can this fit a total of 4 100watt speakers at once OR 4 25watt speakers at most
Answer: 100 "X" multiplied by 4 = 400 watts max, and multiple speakers can be connected to single channels if you have a full understanding of OHM's and how the wattage changes with different connections, but a single speaker on each channel that matches up closely at least in OHM's and watts will sound best, but multiple 25watt speakers would be fine on a 100watt channel, and with 4-100watt channels that can be repeated if desired, but if that's done with high power low ohm speakers, they will over draw power and burn up the reciever/amplifier and all this information is found via browser search, or just go basic and match printed numbers and sound great and dont worry about it burning up because of something you did.

The Delight is in the Details

The R-S202 gives you Yamaha’s 125 years of music heritage packaged to reproduce music as it would be experienced live. Bluetooth connectivity adds easy access to streaming music.

User questions & answers

Question: Hi, does it have a remote control
Answer: Yes, it has a zone 2 setup for speakers plus you can do Bluetooth speakers if desired
Question: Why would this unit have trouble with rgb 4K from ps4 pro to vizio m558? Also sound cuts out every hour or so for 3 seconds, is this the receiver
Answer: Yes it can pass 1440p @ 30, 60, 120hz from PC to TV
Question: Does the bluetooth trasmit both audio and video
Answer: To do it in the same room: Plug a couple of speakers into the Zone 2 outputs, then on the remote turn on Z2 and select tuner (scene 2) or other audio input you want; use the remote to set Z2 volume. Meanwhile Main input remains on STB or whatever you use, with main output volume muted and closed caption as you wish. I do this to watch football (association and gridiron) while on the treadmill and listening to radio or music. I recommend Acoustic Audio AA321B speakers for Z2, available on Amazon for about $32 for a pair.
Question: is zone B a variable out controlled by the remote? Can you send optical in to zone b
Answer: V685Bl is black.. I believe that is the BL. I have not seen just v685

If it does, again, I suggest to contact Pyle customer service.

User questions & answers

Question: Does this unit come with a and b speakers? in other words. i want to put a second set of speakers outside on my patio
Answer: You need a tv or monitor that is capable of hdmi to use the on screen setup. U can setup music without a tv using the demon AVR app
Question: can this take a output of 1440p at 60hz from a pc and pass through to the tv
Answer: Thanks very much for your question. The connections are preamp outputs which are intended for use with a powered sub. A passive sub will not run off this receiver. World Wide Stereo is 38 years old and a proud, authorized Denon dealer.
Question: Can I watch tv through this unit while listening to radio or playing an album
Answer: don’t use the headphone jack for your wireless speakers. Connecting anything to headphones Jack or aux Jack usually will remove sound from going to your hooked up speakers. If the speakers are wireless, are they Bluetooth or WiFi? See if you can use that feature on the Denon receiver to pair the wireless speakers.
Question: Whats the difference between the v685 and the v685bl
Answer: Hey Ike, This unit has 70 watts per channel into 8 ohms. Thanks, Denon North America

YPAO - R.S.C. (Reflected Sound Control) Sound Optimization

This technology analyzes room acoustics and measures various speaker characteristics, then calibrates audio parameters to achieve optimum sound.

It also provides DSP Effect Normalization, which varies the Cinema DSP parameters according to the reflected sounds.

User questions & answers

Question: Does this constantly broadcast the bluetooth or does it have a pairing mode
Answer: See if you can get an owner's manual online. Will tell you how. I have not used my USB port yet.
Question: What is the Ohms range this amplifier will handle
Answer: I use it with a powered subwoofer 2.1 setup mostly with roku and blu-rays. CDs sound great but you might want more power if you don’t have a sub. It looks nice having the amp and player in one unit
Question: Is the power cord/adapter switchable, 100-240V, 50-60 Hz
Answer: Yes -it plays radio, cds, movies, and It has auxiliary inputs. I use my TV audio output for everything now days and just play iHeartRadio
Question: What is the THD rating on this amp
Answer: yes it does. I own the product.
Question: iPod connection. I just purchased a house that has a BDS Hartman Kardon receiver. It has a USB port. How do I get my iPod to work
Answer: The tool is 4" high ... so you would need a little more height for your hands.
Question: Hi, as i am exasperated with the bluetooth set ups. i want a cd/turntable system, however i have a great sonos wi-fi speaker can i use it with this
Answer: You just apply pressure to the pad to activate it, so just push down on it. Once you stop pushing it will stop on its own. You will need to regulate the air line pressure to throttle it down, it cant be done alone. It is a fantastic little tool tho, well worth the price
Question: Hello there!! does it plays radio example: fm, am etc
Answer: Not sure it would work all that great unless its thinner gauge but the hard pad it comes with should work fine
Question: Does it have banana plug speaker connections
Answer: Hello, It comes with a replaceable medium level head.
