Depending on which model it is, the newer model will offer a great deal of convenience when applying these modern codecs to a variety of sources as well as the convenience of HDMI cable connectivity. The surround experience can be greatly refined if this refurbished unit has room correction which IMO is one of the biggest reasons to upgrade.
Older Onkyo HT Receiver - time to upgrade?
My brother has an older model, the TX-SR800, and he has the ability to trade it in for a refurbished newer model. From what I can gather the older model was well reviewed for its audio capabilities as well as video capabilities. Since it's a number of years old, are there new video/sound technologies that will make it mandatory for him to get a newer model e.g. Dolby True HD, DTS-HD MA decoding, etc. etc.
Heck I don't even know what some of this decoding stuff is but I figured I'd ask you experts to get an opinion of what he should do.
Thanks for the help.
