ensure every aspect of audio performance meets rigorous
THX standards for cinema-reference sound.THX Select2
Plus is recommended for screen-to-seat viewing distances of
three to four meters.
Engineered for High Fidelity
WRAT (Wide Range AmplifierTechnology) is all about
high current.You need it to stay in control when speaker
impedance fluctuates, and to grip without clipping as the
soundtrack explodes into action. We use a massive high-
power transformer driving low-distortion Three-Stage

to a 4K display right away, it’s good to know your receiver is
ready for it.
Supports HDCP 2.2 for 4K Streaming and TV
With Hollywood studios, satellite TV broadcasters, and video
streaming services moving to HDCP 2.2 copy protection
for future 4K and Full HD releases, it’s important your A/V
receiver can handle this new standard.The TX-NR737 is one
of the first A/V receivers to support HDCP 2.2, making it
ready for the next generation of home entertainment.
4K Video Upscaling with Qdeo™Technology
The TX-NR737 features Qdeo™technology from Marvell to
upscale low-res video to liquid-smooth 1080p (for HDTV)
and 4K (3840 x 2160 pixels) with a compatible display.This
means video from older gaming consoles and DVD players
looks sharp and clean, giving old favorites a new lease on life.

extra front channels immersing you deeper into the film.The
system upmixes stereo or 5.1 sources and offers a number of
optimized listening modes.

button to preview content on any HDMI-connected device—the
overlaid thumbnails let you keep an eye on a cable channel while
you’re watching a Blu-ray, for example.
AccuEQ Room Calibration
AccuEQ optimizes surround-sound and two-channel audio
to suit your listening space. In particular, AccuEQ extracts the
best possible performance from your front speakers to make
stereo listening more dynamic and exciting.The system analyzes
speaker setup and room acoustics from one listening position
(which simplifies the calibration process) and optimizes frequency
response and output levels for maximum clarity.
