Get Connected with High-Performance Home Cinema
With its bountiful array of connections, the TX-NR709 A/V receiver handles just about any playback device you care to hook up. Eight HDMI®
inputs give you plenty of scope for high-definition sources, while two HDMI outputs double your display options. HDMI supports pristine
lossless audio from Dolby and DTS and video upscaling to stunning 4K resolution via Qdeo™technology. Connectivity is further enhanced by a
front-panel USB port for digital link-up of iPod/iPhone, and a wide range of analog and digital inputs—including S-Video and 7.1 analog
multichannel inputs—for all your legacy components. The network-capable TX-NR709 also brings PC audio and internet radio to your living
room, where Audyssey MultEQ®XT calibrates the soundfield to match the room’s unique dimensions. Onkyo’s graphical OSD and navigation
GUI make it easy to browse your content and adjust settings on the fly. Finally, bi-amping capability, 7.2 multichannel pre-outs, and a dedicated
phono input provide further flexibility for the demanding audiophile and help propel the TX-NR709 to the head of its class.

TX-NR709 7.2-CHANNEL NETWORK A/V RECEIVER
HDMI®Support for 3D Video and Audio
Return Channel
The eight HDMI inputs on the TX-NR709 let you connect
multiple high-def sources, such as a Blu-ray player, a gaming
console, and a cable/satellite tuner. Two HDMI outputs, on
the other hand, let you send a pristine signal simultaneously
to a pair of compatible high-resolution displays. The HDMI
implementation on this receiver supports both 3D video
and an Audio Return Channel, along with numerous high-
resolution formats. 3D video brings exciting possibilities to
home entertainment, with movie, game, and broadcast
content on the increase and 3D-compatible TVs now on
the market. Meanwhile, the Audio Return Channel allows
audio content received directly by your HDTV’s tuner to
be sent “upstream” via HDMI to your A/V receiver, without
the need for a separate S/PDIF audio cable.
Network Capability Delivers Internet Radio and
Network Audio Streaming via Ethernet
As one of Onkyo’s new breed of receivers that can link
directly to the internet or to your home PC via a local
network, the TX-NR709 takes streaming audio and internet
radio to a whole new level. MP3, WMA, WMA Lossless,
FLAC, WAV, Ogg Vorbis, AAC, and LPCM audio files can
now be played back through your main system with
unprecedented power and fidelity. The TX-NR709 also
brings to life a huge array of internet radio channels from
Last.fm* and vTuner, plus on-demand music streaming from
Napster*. As well as being compatible with earlier
platforms, the receiver is compatible with Microsoft’s
Windows®7 platform, which includes the DLNA 1.5-
specified “Play To” media-streaming feature. The
TX-NR709’s internet connectivity has the added benefit of
making firmware updates simpler than ever.
*Availability of ser vices depends on region.
Direct Digital Connection of iPod/iPhone via
Front-Panel USB Port
The TX-NR709’s front-panel USB port lets you access
MP3, WMA, WMA Lossless, FLAC, WAV, Ogg Vorbis, and
AAC audio files stored on a USB flash drive or iPod/iPhone.
As the audio signals are transported in digital form, rather
than analog, there is much less chance of signal degradation.
End result: your music sounds cleaner and more faithful to
the original. A further benefit of the USB input is that it lets
you use the system’s remote controller to play back audio
files on the connected device.
THX®Select2 Plus™Certified
THX Select2 Plus certification is specified for rooms where
the screen-to-seat viewing distance is 3 to 4 meters and
the room volume is around 56 cubic meters. To achieve
THX Select2 Plus certification, the TX-NR709 had to meet
the world’s most demanding standards for home cinema
audio quality and performance, and play at reference
volume levels with minimal distortion.

4K Video Upscaling and Processing via Qdeo™
T
echnology
The TX-NR709 offers full 4K (3840 x 2160) upscaling of
standard video sources such as 480i/p, 720p, and 1080i/p.
Interlaced-to-progressive conversion and scaling are
performed by high-quality Qdeo technology from Marvell.
Qdeo is a versatile video processor that uses algorithms
designed to erase video noise and artifacts such as jaggies
and feathering. Played back on a compatible wide-screen
display, your Blu-ray Discs and DVDs will look more
detailed and cinematic than ever.
PLL (Phase Locked Loop) itter-Cleaning Circuit
T
echnology
itter is an unwanted side-effect of the digital-to-analog
conversion process. Caused by fluctuations in the time
domain of a digital signal, jitter has a detrimental impact on
perceived audio quality. PLL jitter-cleaning circuit technology
reduces jitter by comparing the input and output phases
of the digital signal and creating an accurate clock
waveform. This enhances the precision of digital signal
processing and noticeably improves audio quality. itter-
cleaning technology works both for digital signals input via
HDMI and for digital signals converted from analog signals
inside the receiver itself.
T
ailor Multichannel Audio to Your Home with
Audyssey and Dolby Technologies
The TX-NR709 is equipped with Audyssey MultEQ®XT, an
advanced room-correction technology with high-resolution
filters for satellite speakers and subwoofers. MultEQ XT
gathers frequency and time-domain measurements from up
to eight positions in the listening area, to deliver a clear,
well-balanced, and natural sound. Two other Audyssey
technologies, Dynamic EQ®and Dynamic Volume®, work to
optimize frequency response and dynamic range at all
volume levels. In a similar vein, Dolby®Volume performs
independent loudness adjustments to different frequencies
and channels to produce a listening experience that
includes all the dynamics of the original mix at whatever
volume you choose. It also offers the option of maintaining
playback volume at the same user-chosen level across all
input sources.
Overlaid Graphical On-Screen Display and GUI
Navigation
Changing the TX-NR709’s settings is a seamless affair,
thanks to the receiver’s overlaid graphical on-screen display
(OSD). Set-up menus appear overlaid on the video image
you’re watching, so you don’t have to switch to a blank
screen background. Meanwhile, a new GUI lets you
smoothly navigate internet radio and iPod/iPhone contents.
The OSD and GUI both operate over HDMI, making
excellent use of that versatile interface.
