The Onkyo SR308 is a versatile and powerful 5.1-channel home theater receiver designed to elevate your audio experience. Engineered with a robust set of features, it plays a significant role in delivering high-quality sound reproduction and accommodating modern entertainment systems.

One of the main features of the Onkyo SR308 is its capability to output 100 watts per channel, ensuring dynamic and impactful sound for movies and music.
