TX-SR308 5.1-Channel Home Cinema Receiver
The Ideal Choice for Newcomers—a High-Value
Home Cinema Centerpiece
At the budget-conscious end of the home entertainment spectrum, you’re looking to maximize performance and features without
putting undue strain on your finances. At Onkyo, we get it. That’s why we’ve redefined the entry-level A/V receiver once more, with
the high-value TX-SR308. Not only is it ready for the 3D video—thanks to its HD I®1.4a specification—but it also handles
high-definition lossless audio codecs from Dolby and DTS. Advanced A/V processing on a bedrock of classic Onkyo engineering is
complemented by a bevy of convenient features: a new overlaid On-Screen Display for easy adjustment of settings; a Universal Port for
single-cable connection of peripherals; and a front-panel audio input for direct connection of iPods and other P3 players. With the
TX-SR308, you get an affordable home cinema centerpiece ready to drive the latest high-def entertainment sources.
HDMI®1.4a Support for 3D Vid o and Audio R turn
Chann l
HDMI has fast become the cable of choice for connecting today’s A/V
components. he three HDMI 1.4a inputs on the X-SR308 let you
simultaneously connect high-def sources such as a Blu-ray player, a
gaming console, and a cable/satellite tuner. A single output then sends a
pristine signal to your connected high-resolution display. As the latest
version of this connector, HDMI 1.4a adds the exciting possibilities of
3D video and an Audio Return Channel. 3D video is the next big
thing in home entertainment, with movie, game, and broadcast content
on the increase and 3D-compatible Vs on the near horizon. he
X-SR308 also offers the convenience of an Audio Return Channel via
HDMI. Audio content received directly by your HD V’s tuner can be
sent “upstream” to your A/V receiver, without the need for a separate
S/PDIF audio cable.
D coding of High-D finition Surround-Sound Cod cs
he X-SR308 can decode Dolby®rueHD and D S-HD Master
Audio™—two lossless formats that enable delivery of a bit-for-bit
soundtrack identical to the studio master track. hese codecs,
previously available only on mid-range and high-end receivers,
take advantage of the high data capacity of the Blu-ray format.
he X-SR308 also handles two “lossy” audio formats: Dolby®Digital
Plus and D S-HD High Resolution Audio™. Dolby Digital Plus is
designed to accompany high-definition video delivered via disc media,
broadcasts, and online content. D S-HD High Resolution Audio,
meanwhile, offers a greater bit rate, a higher sampling rate, and more
channels than the core D S technology.
Univ rsal Port for Singl -Cabl Conn ction of Optional
Onkyo Dock for iPhon ™/iPod®or DAB+ Radio Tun r
A proprietary Universal Port located on the rear side of the X-SR308
lets you connect an optional UP-A1 Dock for iPhone/iPod or UP-D 1
DAB+ Radio uner. If you have both peripheral devices, they can easily
be “daisy chained” via an input on the UP-D 1. A key advantage of the
Universal Port is that it accepts video and audio signals through the
same cable that sends a power supply from the receiver to the devices.
Net result: more connectivity, less cable clutter.
Conv ni nt Ov rlaid On-Scr n Display via HDMI
Changing your A/V receiver’s settings is now more seamless than ever,
thanks to the X-SR308’s new overlaid On-Screen Display (OSD)
feature. On-screen set-up menus appear overlaid on the video image
you’re watching. his means you can adjust the settings immediately,
without having to switch back and forth from a blank screen
background.
Four Gam Mod s for Mor R alistic Action
hese four gaming modes create an audio experience with more
realism and impact. You can select from Rock, Sports, Action, or RPG
(Role Playing Game) modes to match your gaming content.

192 kHz/24-Bit Burr-Brown DACs
Improv Jitt r P rformanc to D liv r
Cl ar r Sound
High-quality Burr-Brown DACs (PCM1690) work to
optimize analog audio performance on the
X-SR308. hese DACs perform advanced 24-bit
signal processing and support sampling rates of up
to 192 kHz, while displaying high resistance to clock
jitter and offering a 113 dB dynamic range.
Front-Pan l Audio Input for Portabl
D vic s
If you have an iPod or other MP3 player, you can
connect it to the X-SR308’s front panel for
quick and convenient audio playback. Your player’s
compressed digital music files can then receive
a quality boost from the receiver’s Music
Optimizer technology.
Music Optimiz r™to Enhanc
Compr ss d Digital Music Fil s
While MP3 or AAC files may sound fine through
the headphones of your portable digital player, the
limitations of these files can be exposed when
played back through a quality home entertainment
system. his is because a significant amount of high-
frequency bit information is lost during the file-
compression process. o counter this, Onkyo has
designed onboard Music Optimizer technology to
compensate for lost bit information and improve
the quality of compressed audio signals.
