THX Certified Select components are best in rooms where screen-to-seat distance is about 10' (3m), and the room volume about 2,000 cubic feet (57 Cube Metre).
Unleash a complete Dolby Atmos and DTS:X experience
Enjoy full object-based audio coverage with 5.2.4-ch or 7.2.2-ch speaker layouts. For movies featuring Dolby Atmos and DTS:X soundtracks, individual sounds are mixed to play through any speaker, and are not tied to specific channels. Effects move around with captivating realism, transporting you into the film.
Dolby and DTS solutions for 3D upmixing
DTS Neural:X technology and Dolby Surround find cues in legacy soundtracks and upmix for speaker systems including height channels. Cross-compatibility with Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio technology, and Dolby Digital creates 3D sound for movies on DVD, Blu-ray Disc, or video streaming service.

AccuEQ evolves into AccuEQ Advance
AccuEQ Advance enhances speaker calibration precision. It employs three-point measurement to remove standing waves from your listening space. Standing waves occur when sound from the speakers resonates with sound reflected from the walls, compromising audio quality and bass response. The technology also detects and compensates for background noise, such as the hum from an HVAC, to ensure accurate equalization.
AccuReflex
AccuReflex technology aligns the phase of up-firing height speakers with the sound coming directly from your other speakers. Any delay is resolved so that everything arrives at your ears at the same time. The result is cohesive reproduction of object-based soundtracks.
Three zone sound just add speakers
With a 5.2-ch theater layout in Zone 1 (Main), use the other four channels to drive speakers in Zone 2 and Zone 3. As well as analog distribution, dedicated DACs enable digital sources to be synced across rooms simultaneously, or a unique source to be played in every zone at once. Zone 2 line-level output is great for sharing to a hi-fi system.
Manage Music with Onkyo Controller app
Onkyo Controller app collects streaming services and network-attached audio into one interface. Select sources, control playback, and distribute audio.
Wi-Fi, AirPlay, and Bluetooth wireless connectivity
Built-in 5 GHz/2.4 GHz Wi-Fi provides network stability for streaming, Onkyo Controller app, and multi-room audio, while Bluetooth wireless technology is on board for easy mobile or laptop connection.
Music lovers have easy access and control of their entire iTunes music library through their receiver. Find and stream music from iPad, iPhone, Mac, and PC over the Apple AirPlay wireless audio platform.
More streaming services and internet radio

384 kHz/32-bit Hi-Grade DAC
No matter what you're listening to, it will sound powerfully full, clean and clear. A premium-quality AK4458 digital-to-analog converter from Asahi Kasei implements unique low-distortion filtering technologies for clear sound, and unlocks the full potential of any audio format, including compressed, lossless, and hi-res audio (MP3, WMA, FLAC, WAV, OggVorbis, AAC, Apple Lossless, DSD 5.6 MHz, LPCM, and Dolby TrueHD).
Smooth Analog Signal
Onkyo developed Vector Linear Shaping Circuitry (VLSC) to reassemble the audio signal to its original form following processing. Unlike conventional filters, VLSC removes pulse noise generated in D/A conversion, allowing the sound wave to be reproduced with extremely high fidelity for a smooth analog signal.
Dynamic Audio Amplification
High-current power is proven by the ability to drive four-ohm speakers, which will test the toughest multichannel amplifier. High current equals better control, dynamics, fluency, and expressiveness. Non-phase-shift amp circuitry presents a clear and cohesive audio image, while VLSC removes high-frequency noise from digital audio sources for natural reproduction.
Onkyo's dynamic audio amplification delivers massive power at 220 W/Ch (6 Ohms, 1 kHz, 10% THD, 1 Channel Driven)/ 100 W/Ch (8 Ohms, 20 Hz-20 kHz, 0.08% THD, 2 Channels Driven).
