Enjoy the cutting edge of technology with the1080p HDMI Simple Solution - just one cable to TV with HDMI video up-conversion in AV Receiver. In line with Onkyo's impeccable track record, under the hood of the HT-SP908 you will find an innovative power supply, remarkable amplification design, and high-performance parts from the likes of Texas Instruments. Complete is a tag not given lightly, but the HT-SP908 earns it in style.

Better Class of Home Theater Video and Sound System
Take a look at Onkyo's high end home theater system capable of passing 1080p video and studio-master-quality audio, such as DTS-HD Master Audio and Dolby TrueHD. With HDMI version 1.3a as your link, the HT-SP908 becomes a home theater dynamo with real versatility. The Audyssey 2EQ Auto Speaker Calibration system creates a larger listening 'sweet spot' by using multiple calibration points. It is ideal for larger area and family listening. This slim, wall mountable 7.1 speaker system includes a two-way dual woofer front speaker, a two-way dual woofer center speaker, a one-way surround speaker and a 10 inch 230W powered subwoofer for a total of 1000W of audio versatility packaged in an attractive wood cabinet.

Multimedia Center to Manage Digital Audio and Video Files
The 7.1-channel A/V receiver and HD conversion DVD/CD/MP3 player combine to expertly handle DVDs, broadcasts, CDs, satellite radio as well as digital music and video files from your computer. The HT-SP908, which is Microsoft Windows Media certified, can play DRM music downloads from Napster and CDquality files from MusicGiants with Windows Media Player serving as its command center. You can also bring your iPod(R) to the party with the included RI docking station, which neatly integrates the device into your home entertainment system.

For internet radio, you can access stations that use MP3 or WMA streaming. This system includes some stunning innovations like Audyssey 2EQ(TM) to correct room acoustics, multi-room playback, a full connectivity suite (with switching and upconversion), it is fully XM and SIRIUS ready, and has an integrated system control. These features elevate this system into a league of its own. With many of the features found in Onkyo's high-def A/V receiver line-up — Audyssey 2EQ(TM), Faroudja DCDi, RIHD, HDMI and component video upconversion — the HT-SP908 looks every bit the total solution.

1080p Video and High-Resolution Audio Processing via HDMI 1.3a
Multiple HDMI inputs and outputs enable you switch four of the latest high-definition components between either of the HT-SP908's two assignable HDMI inputs and one HDMI output. This offers a simple, one-cable solution for connecting your Blu-ray and HD-DVD players, satellite and cable boxes, media centers as well as gaming consoles. The High-Definition Multimedia Interface delivers the latest high-definition audio formats — Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio, Dolby(R) Digital Plus and DTS-HD(R) High Resolution Audio — which are then processed by the HT-SP908's onboard DOLBY and DTS decoders. These new formats enable unprecedented quality, including bit-for-bit reproduction for TrueHD and Master Audio. Also, HDMI 1.3a gives you greater bandwidth to deal with higher resolutions, 36-bit Deep Color(TM) and high frame rates.
