THX Select2 Certification for a Better Class of Home Theater
From its development stage to its final conception, the TX-SR705 has been engineered to comply with the most stringent requirements of THX Select2. Select2 certification means that the TX-SR705 is ideally suited to a home theater where the viewing distance from screen to seat is around 10-12 feet and the room volume is no greater than 2000 cubic feet. Among its technologies, Advanced Speaker Array (ASA) digitally reconfigures surround speakers for three listening modes: movies, music and gaming. The THX stamp of approval also covers an A/V receiver`s amplification characteristics. For example, under THX testing, the TX-SR705 has been proven to provide 12.5 amperes of peak current for its front channels and 6.2 amperes for its surrounds.
Processing 1080p Video and High-Resolution Audio via High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI 1.3a)
With three HDMI inputs, you can receive and switch the latest high definition components—Blu-ray Disc and HD DVD players, satellite and cable boxes, media centers and gaming consoles — for a pure, one cable digital connection to an HDTV. HDMI also delivers the latest high-definition audio formats — Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio, Dolby(R) Digital Plus and DTS-HD(R) High Resolution Audio — to be processed by the TX-SR705`s onboard decoders. These new formats enable unprecedented quality, including bit-for-bit reproduction in the case of 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.
HDMI and Component Video Upconversion for a Single Output to High-Resolution Displays
The TX-SR705`s HDMI inputs can receive pristine digital video from HDMI-enabled components, for a single-cable output to a display device with an HDMI or DVI connection. The TX-SR705 can also upconvert analog signals to HDMI so that all connected video sources can be outputted via one cable. And if your display doesn`t have HDMI capability, you can use the HD-quality component video connections, which will also cover your S-Video and composite video sources. To support progressive scan, the TX-SR705 features a deinterlacing chip with Faroudja DCDi Edge(TM) (Directional Correlational Deinterlacing). This technology helps to effectively eliminate video artifacts from HDTV images.
Audyssey MultEQ XT for Powerful Room Acoustics Correction
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 eight measurements around the listening area and uses high-resolution equalization filters for satellites and subwoofers. MultEQ XT covers both the frequency response and the 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.

"After my 20 year old Kenwood Receiver died I had no choice but to replace it. I was shocked at what it would cost to replace it with the same power and surround sound. After much research and complaining I chanced upon Onkyo. As someone who has worked as a Music director and Production assistant in radio and a self-proclaimed audiophile I can say that the Onkyo TX-SR705 is the greatest peice of audio gear I have..."

"What they don't tell you on this website is that this receiver is only good if you have a 1080p TV. I purchased this unit partially because of the video upscaling capability, but when I went to hook it up, I found that my 1080i plasma would not work with this unit. [...]..." Read Full Review »
