7.1 Multichannel Inputs
The emergence of HD-DVD and Blu-ray discs promises to bring unparalleled realism to home theater. Dolby and DTS have each developed improved audio formats to be encoded on these new DVD discs that will superbly complement the latest in highdefinition video. By connecting a player compatible with these new audio codecs to an Onkyo A/V receiver equipped with 7.1 multichannel inputs, you will be able to experience extreme sonic clarity from these new discs, while retaining the full use of the receiver`s other onboard codecs.

192/24
Costly, extremely powerful digital-to-analog converters, that not only boast a dynamic range of 120 dB, they process information faster and are virtually resistant to clock jitter, to ensure the best possible performance from DVD-Audio, DVD-Video and audio CD.

Faroudija DCDi Edge Technology
Deinterlacing chips featuring Faroudja DCDi Edge technology convert interlaced video signals to progressive scan signals. This technology helps effectively eliminate video artifacts from HDTV images.

Audyssey MultEQ(R) XT
MultEQ XT is Audyssey`s most powerful built-in solution for countering distortion in dedicated home theaters.This technology detects speakers, and then sets levels, delays and crossovers, as well as measuring room acoustics. Using the receiver interface, it takes up to 8 measurements around the listening area and uses high-resolution equalization filters for satellites and subwoofers. MultEQ XT covers both frequency response and time domain (where most of the problems lie) across the entire listening area.The results are immediately obvious—a clear, well-balanced and natural sound.

Neural-THX Surround
Neural-THX Surround enables content to be encoded into 5.1 or 7.1 channels and transmitted to an Onkyo A/V receiver, where it is decoded by an onboard decoder. This technology reduces the bandwidth needed by broadcasters to deliver sound content and enable 7.1-channel support for gaming and movies.

Sirius Ready
SIRIUS brings access to over 130 digital-quality channels, including 69 channels of 100% commercial-free music, plus exclusive channels of sports, news, talk, entertainment, traffic, weather and data. This model has a SIRIUS jack on its rear that connects to an optional SIRIUSConnect home tuner kit. This kit includes everything you need for easy home installation, including the SIRIUSConnect receiver, indoor/outdoor antenna with 21-foot cable, and an AC power adaptor. SIRIUS has three powerful satellites situated directly above the U.S., enabling coast-to-coast coverage with high elevation angles. With a "clear line of sight to your home, your signal is unimpeded by buildings, trees or objects that might block conventional satellite signals.

XM HD Surround
XM Satellite Radio is America's number one satellite radio service. It offers 160 digital channels, including 68 commercial-free, diverse music channels; more than 40 channels of premier sports, talk, comedy, children's and entertainment programming; and 21 channels of traffic and weather information. Simply plug an XM Passport System into your XM Ready A/V receiver, and activate the service to start receiving uninterrupted radio programming of your choice. Now, in conjunction with Neural Audio, XM Satellite Radio offers XM HD Surround, which provides 5.1-channel surround sound on selected programming. This surround sound format will be available with selected A/V receivers that have the Neural Audio codec.

"This was an upgrade from an older top of the line (non ES)Sony receiver. I use it with a PS3 and a Sony Black pearl, all HDMI connected. It has enough power and the sound is much less digital sounding than the Sony was. Love those Burr-Brown DACs! The video upscaling is ok, but I'm not using it, sin …"  Read Full Review »

"I've been very impressed with the unit. As with any home theater system, there is a lot of wiring to set up.
