The IMAX Mode reproduces lMAX Enhanced content at the highest levels, just as the filmmakers intended. IMAX Enhanced versions of films, from Hollywood blockbuster movies to documentary films, are scheduled for 4K HDR streaming and Ultra HD Blu-ray release. THX Certified Select cinema-reference sound THX Certified Select guarantees the same reference volume level of a commercial cinema in rooms where the viewing position is about 3.5 m from the screen. To gain certification for reference sound within strict THX sound-quality parameters, receivers must pass 2,000 bench-tests in 75 categories covering 14,000 data points. Dolby Atmos and DTS:X Dolby Atmos and DTS:X formats map sounds in 3D space, allowing them to move around the room and immersing your audience in the film. With 11.2-ch pre-outs and 11-ch processing, you can enjoy 3D sound through a 7.2.4 layout (external power amp required) or use built-in amps for a 5.2.4 or 7.2.2 layout. Enjoy classic titles through your height-enabled speaker system with Dolby Surround and DTS Neural:X finding cues in legacy soundtracks and upmixing for spatial playback. Dolby Atmos Height Virtualizer When playing any Dolby format, engaging Dolby Atmos Height Virtualizer enables a more immersive listening experience, creating a virtual surround and height effect from traditional speaker layouts without employing additional speakers. Dynamic Audio Amplification - RZ Series Build DAA stabilizes power delivery for accurate control and spectacular dynamics. High-Current Low-Noise Power Transformer and custom 15,000 MuF high-current smoothing capacitors deliver instant power while non-phase-shift amps capture a 5 Hz-100 kHz frequency response. To keep them cool, an extruded aluminum heat-sink with black anodized paint controls resonance frequencies while more effectively cutting thermal distortion. Behind the aluminum front panel are hand-selected audio parts. DAA produces a visceral musicality that makes every note an emotionally moving experience. New upgrades reduce noise and boost power Additional refinements control noise, boost power and improve S/N performance. A new HDMI board has shorter signal-paths and large, well-finished grounds for A/V signal integrity. SoC is isolated to reduce interference noise. The power-supply line is reinforced in pursuit of smooth power delivery. These contribute to punchier bass and improved localization on an expanded sound-stage. Next-Generation Network Audio Access streaming content from Amazon Music, Spotify, TIDAL, Deezer and TuneIn and share sound as part of a multi-room system via Works with Sonos, Chromecast built-in, AirPlay 2, DTS Play-Fi and FlareConnect. Works with Sonos The TX-RZ840 can join your existing Sonos Home Sound System or be the start of a new one, just by pairing it with a Sonos Connect. The AVR ties into the Sonos ecosystem, waking, changing inputs and playing at the desired volume on command from the Sonos app. Chromecast built-in with the Google Assistant Stream any music from your smartphone, laptop or PC to the receiver with ease. Control playback with Chromecast-enabled apps you know and love from your iPhone, iPad, Android phone or tablet, Mac or Windows laptop or Chromebook. If you have a smart speaker featuring the Google Assistant, you can cue, play and control music playback by voice. Whole home audio: just add speakers Orchestrate audio playback in up to three rooms at once using the Onkyo Controller app. The TX-RZ840 has two extra DACs to distribute unique or synced D/A audio sources via Zone 2 and Zone 3 speaker outputs, including HDMI/SPDIF/NET/Bluetooth. With nine amps, you can enjoy a 5.2.2-ch layout in Main with powered Zone 2 audio or a 5.2-ch surround system in Main with powered audio distribution to Zone 2 and Zone 3. Quad-core SoC supports 802.11ac Wi-Fi A powerful SoC (System on a Chip) processes multiple tasks at once. It evolves network functions and supports the latest high-speed 802.11ac (2x2 MIMO) specification while compatible with 802.11 b/g/n dual-band routers. Clarify voice dialog in-program instantly Vocal Enhancer solves inaudible dialog in TV programs and movies. DSP technology identifies voice frequencies so you can conveniently adjust them using remote-control keys or controls on the front panel. Versatile Zone 2/Zone B line-out Connect your supported hi-fi system via analog RCA input to the AVR's Zone 2/Zone B line-out. In Zone 2 mode, you can play the same or different analog/digital sources (including SPDIF and HDMI) in either or both rooms at the same time. Zone B mode is an ideal match for a supported wireless transmitter. Listen to any source through wireless headphones for disruption-free late-night TV entertainment.

When Onkyo decided to replace the Audyssey room calibration system with AccuEQ, the great sound reproduction departed as well.  I recently returned this receiver because, I couldn't produce a suitable listening environment from this receiver.  I've owned six Onkyo AV receivers over the years, so I'm speaking from a place of experience.

Missed Opportunity

I?ve had it for about a month. I use it to process 9 channels and power 7 (I use an external amp for L&R, although the unit can process 11 channels and power 9).  I can listen near reference without AVR breaking a sweat or getting warm. My room is ~13x30x8.5 and it easily fills the space with clear sound. 

The room correction is intuitive and works great. It takes 10+ min (depending on number of channels) but the results are outstanding.There are multiple listening modes and a plethora of connections. 

The only ?gripe? is no backlight for the remote. On the plus side, the unit can be app controlled which can the make my gripe moot.

So far so good!

Awesome receiver, this was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks Adorama for the super fast shipping.
