Onkyo TX-NR809 A/V receiver
The TX-NR809 offers video processing, ISF calibration, Audyssey room EQ, network audio streaming, and Windows 7 and DNLA certification.
Onkyo’s TX-NR809 receiver is THX Select2 certified and it offers everything from eight HDMI inputs, to network audio capabilities for $1,100.
These days audio/video receivers are asked to a variety of things beyond just simply playing music. Onkyo's recently released TX-NR809 A/V receiver provides a good example of all the many functions a receiver is asked to do.
The TX-NR809 is a THX Select2 certified receiver that incorporates features such as Mavell Qdeo and IDT's HQV Vida video upscaling and processing chipsets; the Imaging Science Foundation's (ISF) video calibration menus, Audyssey's MultEQ XT room equalization technologies, Dolby Volume, front and rear USB inputs, and zone two and three capabilities.
Onkyo says the 7.2 channel receiver is rated to deliver 135 watts per channel from its low negative feedback Wide Range Amplifier Technology (WRAT) design, and that its use of three Texas Instruments' Burr-Brown 192kHz/24-bit DACs per channel are designed to ensure that all digital signals are accurately converted to analog. In addition, the receiver includes one front and seven rear HDMI inputs, Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio processing, multichannel pre-outs, network connectivity with Pandora, Slacker, Napster, satellite radio options, and its both Windows 7 and DLNA certified.
