THX® Integrated System Plus™ Certified

THX Integrated System (I/S) Plus guarantees THX theater-reference sound in an affordable all-in-one package. THX I/S Plus systems are ideal for spaces where the screen-to-seat 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.

HDMI® 2.0 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.

Factory-Matched and Balanced THX Speaker System

The included speaker system is serious about immersive surround sound. Solid MDF cabinets feature A-OMF diaphragms (layered polyethylene naphthalate and flexible cotton weave material to improve stiffness and heat resistance) for vivid and natural mid-range performance. Where other brands skimp on the surrounds, we include proper two-way speakers with 13 cm A-OMF drivers to ensure you get maximum impact from all directions. Rounding out the package is a high-capacity acoustic-suspension subwoofer fitted with a 30 cm front-firing cone for 125 Watts of wall-shaking bass. Beautifully finished and including detachable cloth grilles for protection, this THX-certified speaker system is the true heavyweight of the HTiB world.

Wi-Fi® and Bluetooth Inside

Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are built in, not costly add-ons. Our free control app puts a range of streaming options at your fingertips, from high-resolution network audio (including 5.6 MHz DSD, Dolby® TrueHD, and gapless 192/24 FLAC and WAV) to the best selection of internet streaming services to your smartphone’s music library. Or pair up and enjoy whatever’s playing on your Bluetooth-compatible device with huge theater sound. Thanks to Advanced Music Optimizer enhancement, near CD-quality audio is ready in moments.

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.
