Amazon.com Product Description
Ideal for quality stereo listening, for expanding your surround system from 5.1 to 6.1 or 7.1 channels to deliver the latest home theater surround formats, and for multiroom setups, Onkyo's M-282 stereo power amplifier makes a powerful and affordable system upgrade. The amp uses Onkyo's exclusive Wide Range Amplifier Technology and pumps 2 x 100 watts per channel RMS into 8 ohm speakers and 2 x 125 wpc into 6 ohms. (For dynamic power handling, you're looking at 2 x 140 watts into 8 ohms, 2 x 125 watts into 6 ohms.)
If you're going for an upgrade from 5.1 to 7.1, make sure your 5.1 surround receiver has preamplifier outputs for 7.1 channels. The M-282 only amplifies a line-level signal; it does not include surround processing or a volume control like a traditional preamplifier or an integrated amplifier/surround receiver.
You can rig the amp to power up when it senses an audio signal or through the use of a 12-volt trigger (standard to automation systems). The receiver also features audio passthrough jacks in case you want to daisy-chain several like components through several rooms for multi-room distribution of your primary listening source.
The receiver uses Onkyo's Wide Range Amplifier Technology (WRAT), which ensures signal accuracy even with high-resolution sources such as DVD-Audio and SACD. According to Onkyo, WRAT eliminates the adverse effects of counter-electromotive force by applying an unusually low amount of NFB (negative feedback), constructing the amp with carefully selected, high-tolerance, wide-range parts in all critical sections, and using innovative circuit topology based on the company's decades of experience building high-end amplifiers. The result? A flat response beyond 100 kHz.
Rear-panel connections and controls consist of a ground (use only if the system exhibits an audible hum), an input-level adjustment, 1 each stereo analog (left/right) RCA audio input and passthrough/output, a trigger setting (audio, 12-volt, off), a 12-volt trigger input jack, left/right speaker outputs with banana-plug-friendly binding-post speaker terminals, and a grounded AC power terminal.

Customer Reviews:
outstanding 2-channel amp.......2007-09-19
I bought this 2-channel amplifier to drive a pair of in-ceiling speakers in another room. For my application, this amp is perfection. I'm certainly glad I didn't buy the similarly-priced but much-less-powered unit from Audio Research.
The output power is phenomenal - noticeably stronger than the 150w per channel output spec from my Sony ES reciever. Either Yamaha is being conservative or Sony is misleading. The sound quality is very clear, low noise, and free of distortion even at loud passages. Frankly I'm stunned at the performance for this low a price point.
This unit is beautifully finished, and looks at home with the rest of my components. It's actually smaller than I expected as well. The front of the unit has a hard power switch, and a standby/on indicator that is red on standby (soft power off) and orange when on.
The rear of the unit has a 2-channel RCA input, a 2-channel RCA output (passthrough), one set of speaker connectors (accepts banana-type and wire), a 12v trigger input, and the power cord input. There is an input level adjustment (essentially a volume control) but in my application, I found it best to set this at maximum volume and let my in-wall volume control adjust the level. There is also a switch to control auto-power settings: disabled (power is controlled by the front switch), audio (front switch remains on, unit changes from standby to on when audio signal is detected), and 12v (external 12v trigger). There is quite a long delay from power-on to on, and in my setup, I chose the OFF mode - where I turn the unit on from the front when I want to use it. The supplied power cord is quite hefty and probably overkill.
Note that unlike several other reviews here, my unit did not get very hot - certainly far from the heat generated by my Sony ES receiver. Nor did I experience a 60Hz hum when the unit entered standby.
Finally, although some reviews say this unit has been discontinued, it still appears on the official Onkyo web site, and availability seems good. So I would say it's not discontinued.
In summary, this is the "perfect" 2-channel audio amp - highly recommended without reservation. And an unbelievable value for near-audiophile performance.
AMPed system.......2006-08-04
I have been using this AMP for the better part of three years. It has never failed, overheated, or given an unsatisfactory performance. It looks sexy and performes like a pro. You will not be dissapointed; I'm not.
Onkyo.......2006-02-01
Onkyo is a relatively large japanese audio maker.
Onkyo is popular but middle class maker.
Accuphase and Luxman are the best japanese audio makers.
Good, But I am glad I did not buy anything cheaper.......2006-01-20
I was looking for a "cheap" amp to drive my 2nd zone "background" music speakers. My price point was around $200 and this unit has a good look to it, so it would fit in next to my more "up scale" B&K separates.
The Good:
It came double boxed and packed well, (always a good sign).
It has a hi-end look to it, (good fit and finish).
The sound is clear and clean, no hum, or hiss (from the speakers, see the bad)
It makes you understand why you spent 10 times as much for your main amp.
The Bad:
The thing is a space heater even when in "stand by" mode the heat is coming from the inexpensive power transformer.
The two tone LED is red when in "stand by" and a cheap orange when "on" I guess green or blue would be better for "on" for me.
I found that when I turned everything "off" to go to bed the transformer has a 60Hz hum to it that can be heard if you are standing a few feet away.
Conclusion:
It seems like a good amp, and if I compare it to the price I paid for my B&K amp it is a good value. Time will tell if the "budget" components will hold up over time. Because of the heat and hum from the transformer I would suggest not using this unit as part of your main music or surround system. I was going to give it 4 stars for looks and features but the heat and hum drag it down to an average 3.
Great quality amp.......2003-04-05
I bought this amp to drive a passive homemade sub and it has done nothing but please me. I'm running it at 4ohms to each channel, and it pumps out serious power. Despite the lower resistance, its heat dissipation is lower than my receiver. I do not believe Onkyo's numbers for this amp, they have to be higher. When I hooked it up to my main front speakers, it revealed an exellent range of frequencies at any volume. This piece is a great example of Onkyo quality for a low price, I'm still curious as to why they discontinued it.

Oh Pyramat, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways..........2004-11-18
Pyramat is a piece of "gaming furniture," built by gamers for gamers. Let's face it-nobody actually sits in a chair and plays video games. They lay on the couch, they sit on the footrest, they lay on the floor...so why not admit that we're all just a bunch of gaming slobs and design furniture for how we play the game!
I first met Pyramat at a Digital Life convention in New York City. She was sleek, but a little too garish for my tastes-all bright orange and gray. Fortunately, she had a sister that only wore black. Just my kind of gal! I received my very own Pyramat for my birthday and she's shepherded me through an entire game of Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance II.
Oh Pyramat, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways:
1. You're sexy: The Pyramat takes the awkward pyramid-shaped floor mats and turns it into a thing of beauty by putting something useful in the foam piece that acts as the headrest.
2. You're a Transformer: The Pyramat is quite talented-she folds up, just like those useless pyramid thingies, which means she's a lot easier to store. Even better, Pyramat has multiple modes: you can lay Pyramat out flat or turn her into a chair.
3. You vibrate: It's hard not to love a piece of furniture that vibrates. The Pyramat vibrates when she plays sounds, but it is NOT a rumblepack-enabled device. So don't expect the floor to shake when you play games. It's more like feeling the bass from a speaker.
4. You're easy to control: The Pyramat has a little nifty handheld device that allows the person reclining on the Pyramat to easily control the rumbling and the audio. Which is a good thing when you're killing monsters in Baldur's Gate and one of them decides to shriek at the top of its lungs.
5. You've got a great voice: When your head is between two speakers, the Pyramat's surround sound is so effective that it freaked me out. We were gaming on Halloween and my wife was greatly amused to see me glance left and right, wondering what the clanging sounds in the distance were. Pyramat, you're such a kidder!
6. You're bendy: Pyramat plugs into your TV, so she can be used to just watch TV, videos, or listen to music. Pyramat plugs into anything with an audio output, so that means musical instruments and MP3 players are also fair game.
7. You clean up real nice: Pyramat has zippered compartments for all of the foam inserts. If your cat pukes on Pyramat, it's easy to clean and the cushions can be replaced.
8. You like to bring a friend: Pyramat connects with other Pyramats for the ultimate multiplayer gaming experience. Although I'm not sure I want to lay next to another guy for that long...
9. You give good headphones: You can plug headphones into Pyramat for the ultimate sensory experience without annoying your neighbors with all that noise.
10. You're comfortable: Pyramat is no truncated mat. She's roomy enough at 68" long and 20" wide to lay out flat. Heck, forget gaming, you could just take a nap!
That said, Pyramat could use a cup holder. I mean, what do you think us gaming slobs are doing down on the floor when we're not gaming? We're drinking of course!
But I quibble. Pyramat is a sound investment if you're a serious gamer...or have really gross floors.
my new bed!.......2004-05-30
I stumbled across this thing in the Urban Outfitters magazine. Laughed it off.
Two months later, I bought one. Now it is an essential part of my gaming experience. Well, tv. as well. I make my girlfriend squeeze on it and watch "24."
If you wanna get sucked into the t.v further than you ever have by being engulfed in sound. I suggest you get this, and hook up external speakers. Get it before Halo 2 comes out, and you probably won't need to leave the house.
Amazing- Best Random Purchase I've made in a while.......2003-06-13
Face it, you're probably staring at this thing thinking- what the....
That's how I stumbled upon this piece of furniture, looking for computer speakers and randomly taken to the pyramat item. After reading the near perfect reviews, I decided to splurge a little (it was the end of the exam period- i deserved a toy). This thing is pretty amazing. Here's why if you have the money to buy this, you should:
1) Comfort: this thing is better than most pieces of funtiture in your house/dorm room right now. Forget the fact it has sorround sound built in, I'm talking about the material and comfort of it. All my friends who have used it have loved the comfort.
2) Sound: amazing. the built in speakers simulate a sorround sound effect very well. However, plug in 2 [bad] external speakers (for $... at any electronics store) and get real sorround sound. Pretty amazing, awesome to use for watching or listening to anything.
3) Customer Service: My first pyramat was actually busted. I called them up, no wait, talked to somebody in managment immediatly, they sent out a new pyramat the next day and set up a paid home pickup for my busted mat. Best service I've ever encountered.
4) Just plain cool. Your headrest is a subwoofer. You are sorrounded by sound. You can't really beat that.
Drawbacks:
-The 4inch sub could be more powerful, although its right next to your head, but it still could be a little more powerful without getting too dangerous.
-These aren't Altec Lansing speakers...but for the price for everything included you shouldn't expect them (nor are they too far off from the quality of the altec's I have on my computer)
So if you're looking for a fun new addition to wherever, seriously just buy this and check it out. For the price it's probably the best, most useful toy you will have bought in a while.
Really cool product.......2003-01-18
I saw this thing at CES and I have to admit feeling is believing. I laid down on this thing and forgot where I was for about a half an hour. The bass rumbles along with your controller and the sound is all around you. It was really cool for gaming and I bought one from amazon and i love it.
Makes your games come alive.......2003-01-18
There's nothing like feeling your chest rumble as you're snipering people on Unreal Tournament. It's pretty sweet for watching DVD's too. It folds up real small so I can tuck it away when I'm not using it. Does anyone know if the tables on the Pyramat website work with this?
I don't think anyone should be without this high intensity chair!
