Onkyo A/V Receivers
With the introduction of its latest home theater products, budget-minded home theater enthusiasts can combine the latest networking connectivity options with traditional home theater for a bigger choice of entertainment options.
With prices ranging from $300 to $600, consumers now have a choice of Onkyo receiver products that combine the latest home theater technologies with network compatibility.
It seems that almost overnight the worlds of consumer A/V and networking merged to offer users streaming Web services and digital file compatibility, and now networking technologies are almost a standard amenity within traditional home theater products.
With the announcement of Onkyo's TX-NR509 and TX-NR609 A/V receivers, the company is addressing the networked home theater category with two home theater receivers that are affordably priced and fully featured. In addition, the company has also introduced its cost friendly TX-SR309 receiver to further support Onkyo's effort to cover everything from entry level to state-of-the-art components. The 509 and 609 and their network functionality are designated by their TX-NR labels, and the products are compatible with Microsoft's Windows 7 OS and the DNLA protocol.
The 509 and 609 also offer front-port USB inputs, a minimum of four HDMI inputs that support 3D video, surround sound processing options like Dolby TrueHD and DTS Master Audio HD, PLL jitter reducing circuits and secondary zone capabilities. The 609's additional feature set includes THX Select2 Plus certification, 7.2 surround sound capabilities and Audyssey DSX room correction technologies.
Onkyo's $299 TX-SR309 is a basic A/V receiver that omits options such as secondary zones, room correction technologies and network compatibility.
