TX-SR606 AV receiver

TX-SR606 front

TX-SR606 rear

1. It looks just like the ??605
2. Changes are the four HDMI 1.3a inputs against the two HDMI sockets on the old model
3. 1080i upconversion for analog signals, Upscaling powered by Faroudja DCDi Edge and 1080p24 signal pass-through.
4. Much classier remote control
5. RIHD ?? remote control via the HDMI link to control Panasonic??s Viera Link, Toshiba??s RegzaLink and Sharp??s Aquos Link systems. i.e. you'll be able to control Panasonic, Sharp and Toshiba TVs, too.

US price as of today $458.09 ~ Rs 19,463/- Plus Taxes ...
No information on this side of the coast

I guess 606 has only hdmi 1.2 and not 1.3a

Onkyo 506 and 576 are the ones that are hdmi 1.2a. 606 is hdmi 1.3a.

Also the US price is of no help here. 605 was priced more than two times in India.

That applies to virtually entire Onkyo line.

Hi Guys,
I just bought 606 yesterday and in Delhi it is priced the same as 605 ,i.e, Rs.36,000/= but there are plans to frame the price b/w 605 & 705 so it might go to 39,000/=.
And yes, it is HDMI 1.3a .[4 inputs at this price is amaziing !].
506 is also planned for near future with 3 hdmi 1.3a .
