 Well designed home theater package for the price September 9, 2010
Warren W. Smith
I just received this system last week and spent the better part of the Labor Day weekend setting it all up along with my new projector and screen. I paired the speakers with the Sanus speaker mount system to hang the front, rear and center channels. Another reviewer has already detailed the differences between this model and the next cheaper model below so I won't go into that. I would say I think it is work the extra $100 or so to get this one over the S5300 and am glad I went that route for the extra features.
It did not take long to unpack and set up into my entertainment center. I had already pre-wired my home theater room with 14/2 speaker wire to where all the speakers would go so set up went quickly. The auto setup for the speakers was a snap and the system sounds great. I have a satellite receiver (very old model with old connections only available) connected via composite cables and a PS3 for BD DVD/gaming via HDMI. The output is connected to an Optoma HD20 projector via the HDMI out. Once I read the instructions more clearly on how to configure the one input for the composite cables I quickly cleared a problem I had with audio but no video output when using the satellite receiver for TV. The picture looks great with the upconvert and now I wonder if I want to upgrade to HD TV receiver in the near future to maximize the potential of the system. With the BD DVD the picture is also fantastic and the sound is perfect, making for a great home theater experience. I do not as of yet own any Blue Ray DVDs, but have tried a few regular DVDs which look great. The iPOD doc is a handy bonus which also works and sounds great.
I had pre-wired the room some time back and only wired it for 5.1 so I am currently not using 2 of the speakers. I may add them in sometime in the future when I get more time and find a way to do it without making too much of a mess of the room. As it is, with just the 5.1, the sound is great and I have no complaints. I would have given it 5 stars, but as another reviewer mentioned, the system does get hot. I have not had any problems with the system shutting down however, and just notice when I put my hand in there to check it out of curiosity. I hope that it doesn't become a problem in the future, but I also do not have much experience with these types of systems as this is my first home theater receiver/sound system. I still have not played with all of the many, many features available by the system as I must admit I do not even understand them all. But out of the box with very little adjustments on my part it works great and easily met all of my expectations. I am pleased with the purchase and would recommend it to others.
 Somewhat Frustrated September 8, 2010

The HT-S6300 is replacing a mid-range 8 year old RCA 5.1 surround sound system, still going strong just wanted to update to a DTS 7.1 unit. Shipped UPS and was very well packaged and protected in the box. I received this system last week and spent a good part of Saturday afternoon setting it up. It went into a tight workable area of my entertainment area so maneuvering around for me was somewhat awkward. The speakers have the screw ready notches in the back, can be hung vertically or horizontal, I liked that option. I couldn't find too many reviews on this model as it seems like it may be a new model for the coming season but I feel like I got a decent price for everything it has to offer. The sub-woofer is BIG. My sofa end table is not much larger in size so the case really sticks out like a sore thumb by the side wall, although it is attractive with a combination of black wood tone with the front a black shiny finish (dust magnet). I have a Panasonic blue-ray DVD player, LG 42" 1080p LED flat screen TV, Bright House cable box and WDTV Live Plus Media Player hooked up to it all via HDMI cables. I played part of a movie (Finding Nemo whale scene) and it sounded very good especially the bass, I had to turn it down some by the volume control located at the back of the sub-woofer. Convenient. I was so happy with my purchase. So that evening I settled in to watch a couple of action movies to get the real sound effect of my new set-up. Disappointment set in. It stared cutting off or making a high pitch squealing sound then would lose connection with the TV. Granted only a minute or two is lost before reconnect but when this happens a few times per 2 hour movie it can be very aggravating and frustrating. Went online and read in some forums that the receiver has an overheating issue. I touched the top of the receiver and it was HOT!. I had the acceptable 6+" from the top shelf and the shelf that this unit sat on but I increased it to 8+" , an AC vent also blows right down on the center so it has good air flow/ventilation. Didn't make any difference. This sucks as I can't enjoy watching a movie without the cut offs every so often (haven't watched much TV so don't know if it does it with that or not). I can turn everything on and within 10 minutes of a movie running it will disconnect so I am not real sure if it is an over heating issue. The receiver is no where near as hot as it is after a couple of hours of playing. I will call Onkyo customer service this weekend and hear what they have to say. I've already tossed out the box so I can't even return this system for something different. Then to have to pull the entertainment center out and unhook everything........not a happy camper right now considering the price I paid for a supposedly quality product. Especially upsetting to think that Onkyo is aware of a possible heat problem and still continues to sell these units with said issues.
Will update later if/when this issue gets resolved.
 Better design than S5300 August 15, 2010

This model is basically the same as S5300, with extra features:
1. Can up-convert all video inputs to 1080P and output through HDMI. S5300 can't do this.
2. Comes with a setup mic for Audessy to set up speakers automatically.S5300 doesn't have it.
3. Front Speaker is smaller than those of S5300. I hooked them up on wall they look better. The front speakers of S5300 are much bigger and the rear speakers are much smaller.
4. Subwoofer is taller and narrower than that of S5300. To me that is better.
5. Total weight is like 10lb less than S5300.
It is about $100 more than S5300. You can go with S5300 for cheaper if you don't mind those points above.
