Design Features

Looking at this huge box with ONKYO logo it seems that it must cost some crazy money. The impression only gets stronger when you pay attention to the rear panel. Not only is it built with circuitry 9.2, and even 7 HDMI inputs and two outputs will satisfy the most daring fantasy of any home theater enthusiast. The additional HDMI on the front panel will certainly be of interest to owners of digital video cameras. You can integrate the most ambitious system on its basis, including a rich collection of old players and game consoles. A full range of analog connectivity even includes a VGA port, which is extremely rare in AV receivers. This vast complex will be controlled easily and effortlessly thanks to three types of control buses RI, RS-232 and conventional IR , as well as two 12V triggers. Not forgetting the proprietary jack perfect for the iPod dock and phono stage for vinyl enthusiasts. The multi-channel low-level output is configured as 9.2, which is extremely rare even among the High-End processors.

A mighty hardware arsenal is matched by a plentiful assortment of software features. Eleven channel splitting

is provided by a processor that can decompile and recompile any audio signal. It can be set up automatically thanks to Audissey technologies. THX specs call for the same-name modes. An unused amplifier can be switched to bi-amping the fronts, which has an audible effect, especially with high-powered floorstanders. Compatibility with DLNA-technology allows the unit to fit seamlessly into a home computer network and receive multimedia information from computers and media servers. The same technology is used for internet-radio. Music can be played from the front panel of the USB input, and the TV screen shows the album artwork. Compatible with Rhapsody and Napster databases. Only the remote control is relatively ascetic and not particularly useful as a universal.

Sound quality

The latest generations of ONKYO receivers are steadily restoring the brand’s former glory among perfectionist movie buffs, it has already become a good trend. Large-scale panorama even in the eight-channel version is impressive, and with 11 speakers simply transports the viewer into another dimension. In combination with three-dimensional video on a big screen such “culture shock” is unforgettable and causes a persistent desire to assemble something similar at home. Detail and frequency range are also up to par. Dialogues are clear, perfectly reproduced all the nuances of speech, so that drama lovers won’t be left out. The only “but” – in spite of the large mass and dimensions of the amplifier in rooms over 20 square meters and when using floor-standing acoustics it is desirable to use additional monoblocks or power amplifiers, at least for the main front pair. Soundfield programs involve almost all channels and without such post-processing additional fronts do not work , which is a very serious load on the built-in amplifier.
