To onkyo owners: how you do guys manage the heat emitted by Onkyo, I've an Onkyo 875 on order to bring to India. Here in UK itself, known friends are struggling to manage these in AV cabinets!!

Unfortunately, our Govt. does not promote these kinda users nor the Import(they charge HEAVY customs).

I am planning to Buy the SR705 with some speakers.

Any suggestions from anyone?

Thanks

Hi

More than the customs, the dealer/distributors pad their margins way too much. Fortunately, some deals are still viable if you talk it out with the dealer.

I just moved to Bombay from the US and had the following setup (which is currently en route to Bombay):
Onkyo SR 705
Speakers:
Polk
RTI6 fronts
RTI4 surrounds
CSI3 center
PSW10 sub (may consider replacing this for line/hum noise)

This certainly is not top of the line but for a cinema enthusiast for a 20x15 room. This system kicks ass. Make sure you invest in good quality 14 or 16 AWG speaker cables for cable lengths <40-50 ft.

Does anyone in Mumbai know where I can get a 230->120V step down from? The receiver would use 6.2A @ 120V = ~750W. Can someone recommend a place to buy the stepdown.

Thanks.

6.2A @ 120V is 3.1A @ 240V. Buy a 5A transformer.

You will get a step down transformer from Lamington Road but it would have been better if you had bought it in the US. The transformers available here start humming after a few months, in my experience.

If you are in luck your Marantz transformer has taps for 220-240V. Many mass market products have these. Get it checked from a electronics repair shop first.
