I received two receivers and am looking to the experts here to point me in the right direction. One is an Onkyo TX-SR608 and the other is a Pioneer VSX-820. Is either of these better than the other? I have a Marantz SR6012 in my theater room. Was going to use one of those two in my sunroom area and only have use for one. Thanks

both are older AVRs. Check the Onkyo to make sure it doesn't have HDMI failure. Many units from the period did.

If it is fine go with the Onkyo as it is a higher end AVR than the Pioneer 820. The Onkyo is 7.1 while the Pioneer is 5.1. the Onkyo has 6 HDMI inputs including 1 in front while the Pioneer only has 4, all in the back.
