Thread: Great deal on a nice home theater in a box

The Onkyo HT-SR800 is a really nice home theater in box, much nicer than anything I've seen in its price range, and Onkyo has a great sale on refurbished units right now. On the official Onkyo outlet website (
Shop Onkyo

) they have this deal:


Shop Onkyo link to the HT-SR800




1. Create an account on
Shop Onkyo


to qualify for special pricing.
2. "Member" price is $329
3. Current 10% St. Patrick's Day discount applied at checkout
4. Apply your 10 "member points" during checkout to save another $10
5. UPS ground shipping included

By my calculations, that comes out to $286.10 shipped, this system normally retails fro $450.

This gets you a 7.1 system with lots of inputs (2 HDMI in (switching only), 2 optical inputs, 2 digital coax inputs), support for both XM and Sirius, Odyssey auto calibration (mic included), and a decent amount of power.

Refurb units come with a 1 year warranty from Onkyo. I have a refurb 605 receiver that's been great.

But... This is a limited time offer, the coupon expires soon, and inventory fluctuates greatly, so if you're interested, move fast or you will miss out.

the only downside is that it does not decode HD audio formats

There is really no GREAT deals when getting a H/T in a box ESPECIALLY A REFURB. They are cheap, of lackluster quality and power, limited in most ways; rarely expandable and you can generally do a bit more research, spend a few more dollars, and get a 1000% better product separately; and new.

You took the words right out of my mouth.
