manufacturer.

experiencing movie soundtracks the way they were recorded and
produced to be heard. You're getting the power and nuance the
director made for the cinema, the very best sound quality
available, in your own home. This THX Select2 Plus certification

THX Loudness Plus is included in the specification.
Onkyo network A/V receivers give you access to more internet
radio stations than any other brand...period.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Streaming your choice of internet radio through your Onkyo A/V
receiver gives you unsurpassed sound quality and access to a
virtually infinite selection of world class music. Enjoy your own
personal concert from anywhere in the world... right in your own
living room.
All Onkyo network receivers are also compatible with Microsoft’s
Windows® 7 platform, which includes the DLNA 1.5-specified “Play
To” media-streaming feature so you can easily stream music store
on PCs connected to your home network. This internet connectivity
has the added benefit of making firmware updates simpler than
ever.
UWF-1 Wireless LAN adaptor
--------------------------
Onkyo's UWF-1 Wireless LAN adaptor removes unwanted cables. This
small, optional unit is worth way more than its tiny price.
Connect the UWF-1 to the USB port on any compatible 2011 Onkyo
network receiver, and bring your music through your wireless
router into your Onkyo system. Now internet radio and audio files
stored on your PC can be played back with the superior fidelity
of your main Onkyo system — with no cable clutter. A sensible and
inexpensive solution.
Onkyo's Remote Apps
-------------------
Onkyo's Remote Apps for Android and iPod/iPhone turn your cell
phone into a remote control. The Android app lets you Stream
( https://images-na.ssl-images-.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page2/AndroidLG.jpg )
audio files from your Android to your Onkyo home network
receiver. Set tone, volume levels and control input selection, as
well as a number of other key features like controlling internet
radio stations…
The Onkyo app for iPhone/iPod will allow you to set tone, volume
levels and control input selection.
Made for iPod®/iPhone®
----------------------
Onkyo receivers allow you to and play audio files stored on your
iPod/iPhone or even a USB flash drive. The on screen display lets
you see exactly what is playing. As the audio signals are played
back in digital form, rather than analog, there is much less
chance for signal degradation. Onkyo's exclusive Advanced Music
Optimizer
( https://images-na.ssl-images-.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page2/music-optimizer_chart.jpg )
also compensates for lost bit information and improves the
quality of compressed audio signals.
End result: Your music sounds cleaner and more faithful to the
original.
Crisp and Clean 1080p Upscaling... and Ready for Next Generation
Displays, NOW!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Onkyo's A/V receiver provides the finest, most beautiful and
pristine 1080p upscaling you can find, thanks to the Marvell
Qdeo™ video-processing chip that erases video noise and artifacts
such as jaggies and feathering. The result: astoundingly crisp
video. Played back on a compatible widescreen display, your
Blu-ray Discs and standard DVDs will look AMAZING: more detailed
and cinematic than ever. While deftly handling the most current
high-def display formats, Onkyo's also the first in the world to
support the coming full 4K upscaling (3840 x 2160) of standard
video sources such as 480i/p, 720p, and 1080i/p.
Interlaced-to-progressive conversion and scaling are performed by
a high-quality Marvell Qdeo video-processing chip.
3D and ARC
----------
All Onkyo A/V receivers support the latest in 3D technology. Play
3D movies, games, and broadcast content in cinematic quality in
your own home and be amazed by the realistic quality. The HDMI®
inputs let you connect multiple high-def sources, such as a
Blu-ray player, a gaming console, and a cable/satellite tuner.
The HDMI output, on the other hand, lets you send a pristine
signal to a compatible high-resolution display. Audio Return
Channel allows audio content received directly by your HDTV’s
tuner to be sent “upstream” via HDMI to your A/V receiver,
without the need for a separate S/PDIF audio cable.
A Suite of Audyssey Technologies
--------------------------------
Audyssey 2EQ tailors multi-channel audio for your home theater
speaker set-up by measuring three room positions and applying a
resolution filter to the satellite speakers to correct for room
acoustics.
Audyssey Dynamic EQ maintains a consistent bass response, tonal
balance, and surround-sound effect at different volume levels, so
you can enjoy the natural dynamics of your content regardless of
the volume.
Audyssey Dynamic Volume automatically compensates for volume
fluctuations in different audio content (for example, during
commercial breaks) while optimizing the dynamic range.
Dolby® Pro Logic® IIz
---------------------
Allows reconfiguration of the surround back channels to deliver
“front height” channels. These channels carry ambient,
non-directional audio that adds a new vertical dimension to your
movies and games. Audyssey DSX provides a similar front-height
speaker option that likewise works to create a more enveloping
home theater experience.
Change Your Receiver's Settings Seamlessly
------------------------------------------
Thanks to Onkyo's overlaid graphical on-screen display (OSD),
set-up menus appear on top of the video image you're watching, so
you don't have to switch to a blank screen background. Easily
navigate intuitive menus to maximize all of the features and
benefits of your Onkyo A/V receiver. The OSD and Graphical User
Interface (GUI) both operate over HDMI, making excellent use of
that versatile interface.
Extra Connectivity Options
--------------------------
Use PC-IN to easily connect your or mediacenter PC to
your Onkyo AV receiver, and watch your movie files on your
flatscreen TV. You can now easily watch internet videos,
PC-stored movies and pictures on your TV. (Audio connectivity may
vary depending on your computer hardware, but Onkyo A/V receivers
support a wide range of different interfaces.)
