THX® Integrated System Plus™ Certified

THX Integrated System (I/S) Plus guarantees THX theaterreference sound in an affordable all-in-one package. THX  I/S Plus systems are ideal for spaces where the screen-toseat viewing distance is about 2.5 meters. All components within the system are rigorously tested by THX to make sure they deliver the same low-distortion, high-volume sound you experience in a commercial theater. Listening modes for  music, movies, and games are included along with THX® Loudness Plus™. 

Ready for Dolby Atmos® Sound

Dolby Atmos is a new audio format that uses object-oriented mixing techniques to layer individual sound elements over a channel-based audio bed, putting sound into motion all around you, even overhead. Content creators mix soundtracks in a 3D space, seamlessly moving the sound above and around the audience. You can experience the full Dolby Atmos effect right out of the box by using the included Surround Back speakers as Front Heights. Alternatively, you can install a pair of in-ceiling speakers or purchase a pair of Dolby Atmos-enabled speaker modules. Once set up, your Dolby Atmos system will immerse you in the film like nothing ever before.

Latest HDMI® for 4K/60 Hz Video and HDCP 2.2

All HDMI terminals except inputs 5/6 feature the latest  HDMI specification to support 4K/60 Hz video and 21:9 theater aspect. Now you can add enveloping 7.1-channel surround-sound to next-generation Ultra HD content for a breathtaking entertainment experience. The receiver also supports HDCP 2.2 copy protection standard via HDMI Input 3 and the main output to enable the display of streamed, broadcast, and physical Ultra HD video at native resolution. 

4K Video Upscaling with Qdeo™ Technology

Video from older gaming consoles and DVD players looks clean and sharp, giving your old favorites a new lease on life. Qdeo™ technology from Marvell automatically upscales  low-res video to liquid-smooth 1080p (for HDTV) and 4K (3840 x 2160 pixels) with a compatible UHD display. 

AccuEQ Calibration for Pure Audio Performance

Onkyo brings together a number of technologies to enhance stereo and multichannel sound quality. A key ingredient is AccuEQ room calibration. AccuEQ is highly effective yet very simple to use, correcting speaker distances, levels, crossovers, and frequency response from one easy listening position and ensuring clear and cohesive surround-sound. Playback of 7.1-channel formats at 96 kHz without downsampling is also enabled, while for ultimate stereo purity, AccuEQ bypasses the front channels so the natural character of your loudspeakers remains unaltered by DSP correction.
