This is a vintage Onkyo Integra TX-SV919THX. This was the top of the line reciever in its day - it was also the first ever reciever that recieved THX certification.

When it comes to digital inputs, Dolby Digital/DTS ... it doesn't have any of that. It supports Dolby Pro-logic in surround.

However, the attraction of this item is the fact that as an ex-top-of-the-line Onkyo, It's got great amplifiers. Rated for 100wx3front and 60wx2 rear, it puts out enough good clean power to drive the highest-end speakers.

Why would you buy this? The best thing to do with something like this is to put together a quality stereo (2 or 2.1 channel) . Nice speakers can be had at yongsan for about 300,000. those, combined with this reciever and some kind of source would sound fantastic.

As you can see, I'm using it as a glorified headphone amp.

Price: 100,000 OBO.

Delivery: possible (this thing is big and heavy)

Cosmetically, it has a few scuffs, but it's in full working order.

So it's not 5.1 channel? Or is it? I thought THX required at least that?

It is... amp-wise. However, it, on it's own, only supports dolby pro-logic (and some thx modes, apparantly). They sold an accompanying processor a little while down th line that supporteed DD/DTS.

Well, actually! If you have some high-impedance phones, this would definitely make them sound better.

Hate to be rude, but I doubt you'd even find a shop willing to buy that from you for 20,000 won. It's just too beat-up.

It was an awesome receiver in its day, but without digital inputs, it's a dinosaur.

I'm sure it does a wonderful job as a headphone amp though. Smile
