Onkyo 6.1 Receivers

The Fully-Equipped 6.1-Channel Receiver for Your Entry Into the World of Home Theater. Onkyo has redefined how you will forever look at an entry-level home theater receiver with the TX-SR501. Those new to home theater will breathe a sigh of relief due to the user-friendly design that incorporates color-coded inputs and outputs, a logically laid-out front panel and an easy-to-use remote control. Those looking to upgrade their current home theater receiver will be impressed with 6.1-channels giving you the all enveloping surround sound of Dolby Digital EX and DTS-ES combined with Onkyo exclusives like WRAT (Wide Range Amplifier Technology) and CinemaFILTER to yield the smoothest sound at any volume

Onkyo's TX-SR700 unlocks the full potential of today's — and tomorrow's — entertainment technologies, including the sweepingly cinematic 6.1-channel soundtracks of Dolby Digital EX and DTS-ES DVDs. Packing 100 full-bandwidth-rated watts x 6 channels of power and a full arsenal of surround decoding options, this receiver immerses you in stunningly realistic, three-dimensional soundscapes. Top-notch Onkyo construction and Wide Range Amplifier Technology (offering frequency response up to 100 kHz!) also help you make the most of upcoming high-resolution audio sources like DVD-Audio and SACD. The TX-SR700 also abounds with convenience features. Powered dual-room/dual-source output lets you and a friend listen to different stereo sources in two rooms simultaneously. (You get preamp-level second-room output, too, if you prefer to use a separate amplifier in the second room. This option lets you you retain multichannel power in your main-room at all times.) An on-screen display puts the receiver's control menus on your TV screen for especially easy navigation (requires TV with direct video input). And you'll really appreciate the learning/multibrand remote control — it stores macros that let you program up to 16 operations for execution with the touch of a single button, and it's even backlit for easy operation in the dark! In addition to the 6.1 decoding mentioned above, you also get decoding for 5.1-channel Dolby Digital and DTS sources, plus Pro Logic II and DTS Neo:6 modes, which produce 5.1- and 6.1-channel sound from Dolby Surround-encoded soundtracks, and even stereo music. The TX-SR700 also boasts plenty of connectivity, including component video switching for two sources (with plenty of bandwidth for HDTV transfer), 4 digital inputs, 2 digital outputs, 5 S-video inputs, and a 6.1-channel preamp output for system expandability. It's even got front panel optical digital and A/V (with S-video) inputs for easy hookup of portable equipment like camcorders and game systems.
