TX-NR808 7.2-Channel Network A/V Receiver
The Heart and Soul of Networked Home Entertainment
Meet Onkyo’s mid-range powerhouse. The TX-NR808 earns its prestigious THX®Select2 Plus™certification by blending the latest
connectivity and processing technology with Onkyo’s renowned amplification prowess. As a network-capable receiver, the TX-NR808 is
your gateway to streaming audio from your PC or internet radio. Other connection highlights include seven HDMI®1.4a inputs with 3D
and Audio Return Channel capability; 7.1-multichannel analog inputs for legacy components; a Universal port for Onkyo peripherals; a USB
port for iPod models and flash memory devices; and an analog RGB video input for your PC. Employing two advanced 32-bit DSP chips
and low-jitter 24-bit Burr-Brown DACs, the TX-NR808 effortlessly handles your audio-processing needs. Whether it’s lossless Dolby and
DTS formats on Blu-ray Disc, or new-dimension surround formats from Audyssey and Dolby, your audio signals retain every lifelike nuance.
All things considered, the TX-NR808 is a serious challenger for the middleweight crown.
HDMI®1.4a Support for 3D Video and Audio Return
Channel
The seven HDMI 1.4a inputs on the TX-N 808 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 eturn Channel. 3D video is the next big thing in home
entertainment, with movie, game, and broadcast content on the
increase and 3D-compatible TVs coming to market. The TX-N 808 also
offers the convenience of an Audio eturn Channel via HDMI. Audio
content received directly by your HDTV’s tuner can be sent
“upstream” to your A/V receiver, without the need for a separate
S/PDIF audio cable.
PC Audio and Internet Radio via Network Function with
DLNA 1.5 and Windows
®
7 Compatibility
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-N 808 takes
streaming audio and internet radio to a whole new level. MP3, WMA,
WMA Lossless, FLAC, WAV, Ogg Vorbis, AAC, and LPCM audio files—
whether on your PC or from the internet—can now be played back
through your main system with unprecedented power and fidelity. The
TX-N 808 brings to life a huge array of internet radio channels from
Last.fm, Napster, and vTuner*. As well as being compatible with earlier
platforms, the receiver is compatible with Microsoft’s new Windows 7
platform, which includes the DLNA 1.5-specified “Play To” media-
streaming feature. Another benefit of having the TX-N 808 connected
to the internet is that you can then easily update its firmware.

IIz Add New
Dimensions to Surround Sound
The TX-N 808 handles two new surround-sound technologies from
Audyssey and Dolby that offer exciting new ways to set up the
speakers in your home cinema system. Audyssey DSX lets you
incorporate “front wide” speakers, in place of the usual surround back
speakers, to expand the width of the soundstage. Set up at a
recommended 60° off center, these channels help to produce a more
realistic soundstage and a more immersive listening experience.
Alternatively, Audyssey DSX can reconfigure the TX-N 808’s surround
back channels to deliver “front height” channels. These channels carry
ambient, non-directional audio that adds a new vertical dimension to
your movies and games. Dolby Pro Logic IIz provides a similar front-
height speaker option that likewise works to create a more enveloping
home cinema experience.

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-N 808 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.

HDMI Video Upscaling to 1080p with
Faroudja DCDi Cinema™
When it comes to video processing, Faroudja DCDi
Cinema offers several advantages. This processor can
accept any video signal, regardless of the source
resolution, and upscale it to 1080p to match the
native resolution of your high-definition display.
What’s more, DCDi Cinema effectively removes
video artifacts such as jagged edges during the video
signal deinterlacing process. You get to enjoy smooth
progressive scan video images, even for fast-moving
sports and action scenes.
PLL (Phase Locked Loop) Jitter-Cleaning
Circuit Technology
Jitter 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. Jitter-cleaning
technology works both for digital signals input via
HDMI and for digital signals converted from analog
signals inside the receiver itself.
Playback of Different Audio Sources in
Up to Three Rooms
With Powered Zone 2, you can enjoy surround-
sound entertainment in the main room, while
playing back a different stereo source in a second
zone equipped with a pair of speakers. Alternatively,
you can use the Zone 2 and Zone 3 pre-outs to
send separate, unamplified audio signals to amplifiers
(and speakers) in a second and third room.
Naturally, you also have the option of distributing
the same audio source to two or three zones
simultaneously.
Bi-Directional Preprogrammed RI
Remote Control with On-Screen Setup
and Macro Presets for Four Activities
The TX-N 808’s remote controller offers the
convenience of controlling a wide range of other
devices connected to the receiver. You can select
your connected devices from an on-screen list and
pre-program your desired settings for each device.
The receiver itself can then send these settings
automatically to the remote controller. Furthermore,
the TX-N 808 lets you set up macro presets for up
to four activity modes, which you can control via
mode-key LEDs on the remote controller. A single
button-press of “My Movie”, for example, can
simultaneously turn on the receiver, display, and Blu-
ray player to your pre-programmed settings and
start playing a disc automatically.
