  • Our take on the Onkyo TX-SR252 5.1 AV Receiver

    The Onkyo TX-SR252 is a compact 5.1-channel AV receiver built to replace a TV's built-in sound with real surround. It passes 4K/60 Hz HDR-era video through four HDMI inputs to one output, decodes Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio, and drives five speakers with discrete analog amps rated 100 W per channel at 6 ohms. It suits shoppers who want discrete-channel surround and wired speakers on a budget rather than a soundbar. Against pricier receivers it gives up room correction, network streaming and Dolby Atmos, and its power rating is a one-channel-driven figure, so it is a modest, honest entry unit rather than a powerhouse.

    About the Onkyo TX-SR252 5.1 AV Receiver

    The Onkyo TX-SR252 is a 5.1-channel AV receiver that connects game consoles, media streamers, VCRs and Blu-ray players and sends everything to a TV through a single HDMI cable. It supports 4K/60 Hz video. It can be set up to switch on and off with a regular TV remote.

    It has five-channel analog amplifiers with a discrete output stage, rated at 100 W per channel. It decodes Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio and uses a 192 kHz/24-bit DAC for all channels. Sources include TV, Blu-ray, AM/FM radio and MP3 files played from a USB flash drive.

    Questions and answers

    Does the TX-SR252 support 4K and HDR?
    It passes 4K at 60 Hz with HDCP 2.2 and 4:4:4 color, so modern consoles and streamers work through it. It does not process HDR metadata itself; it passes the signal through.
    Can I add height or Atmos speakers?
    No. It is a fixed 5.1-channel receiver with Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio decoding only. There are no Atmos, DTS:X or height-channel options.
    How much power does it really deliver?
    The 100 W per channel figure is measured at 6 ohms, 1 kHz, with one channel driven. Expect less with all five channels running, which is fine for small and medium rooms with efficient speakers.
    Can I stream music to it over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth?
    Not built in. It has no network or Bluetooth, so streaming comes from a device plugged into HDMI or the front USB port for MP3, WMA and AAC files.
    Does it work with a turntable?
    Only with a turntable that has a built-in phono preamp or through an external phono stage. The receiver has no phono input.
    Will my TV remote control it?
    Yes. HDMI-CEC lets it switch on and off with the TV and pass audio back over the Audio Return Channel, so one remote can handle basic volume and power.
    Where is the Onkyo TX-SR252 5.1 AV Receiver cheapest?
    At Stone Audio, for $325.00, as of our latest check.
