Microphone for
Audyssey
2012 NEW PRODUCT RELEASE
High-End Home Cinema Performance Starts Here
This Onkyo network receiver is a winner in three areas. Firstly, its video performance is unrivalled.A dual core video engine design utilizes an
HQV®Vida™VHD1900 processor to upscale analog content to 1080p, with Qdeo™technology taking full HD out to an eye-popping 4K.An ISF
system calibrates video from all inputs to industry standards, and the resulting picture is spectacular. Secondly, audio performance is unmatched,
as proven by THX®Select2 Plus™ certication. The receiver delivers power effortlessly through three-stage inverted Darlington circuitry and
192 kHz/24-bit DACs. Finally, you get more setup exibility. There are eight HDMI®inputs—including an MHL for smart phones—and two
outputs. Two USB ports connect iPod/iPhone and LAN adaptor, enabling wireless PC and online audio. Three mind-blowing sound expansion
systems are included—Audyssey DSX®, DTS Neo:X™, and Dolby®Pro Logic®IIz—assisted by Audyssey MultEQ XT32 room correction.
Front channel bi-amping, Digital Processing Crossover Network, and three-zone audio distribution grant the freedom to customize.With new
InstaPrevue™input selection technology and intuitive system control via iPhone and Android phone, now is the time to upgrade to an Onkyo.

management technology, making input source selection
easier. InstaPrevue technology provides a live video thumbnail
of the available content on your devices connected via
HDMI.You no longer have to remember that your gaming
console is connected to Port 3, or your Blu-ray player to
Port1,forexample—youcanseewhat’splayingandchoose

levels with minimal distortion.
World’s BestVideo Processing
Three of the best video processing and enhancement
systems are included to guarantee smooth and accurate
images on your HDTV.
HQV®Vida™VHD1900
The Vida VHD1900 upscales analog content to 1080p, and enhances
native high-denition sources. The chip employs multi-cadence
tracking, expanded 12-bit color processing, and four-eld motion-
adaptive de-interlacing. Auto HQV™ enhances the incoming image,
while HQV StreamClean™ cleans up video from lower-quality online
sources by eliminating mosquito and block noise.
Marvell Qdeo™Technology
Qdeo technology upscales 1080p sources to 4K (4096 x 2160)—
even content already upscaled from lower resolutions by the HQV
Vida processor. Played back on a compatible 4K display, your
high-denition content will look more cinematic than ever.
ISF Video Calibration
ISF (Imaging Science Foundation) video calibration dramatically
improves picture quality. Each video input source is independently
calibrated to achieve the best possible performance from your
connected HDTV.
Note: 4K video playback requires a 4K-compatible TV. HDMI pass-through of 4K
content from source devices is not supported. 4K upscaling of analog video is only
available at 480i.
Onkyo Remote Apps for iPod touch/iPhone and
Android Phone
The Onkyo Remote App 2 for iPod touch/iPhone*1and
Onkyo Remote for Android phone*2both provide an
intuitive way to operate Onkyo network A/V receivers.
Controlinputsources,adjustsettings,andplayaudiostored
in a smart phone wirelessly (Android phone only) using the
application’sinteractivegraphicaldisplay.ThetwoRemote
Apps are available separately as free downloads.
*1 Compatible with iPod touch (3rd generation or later) and iPhone 3GS or later. All
models require iOS 4.2 or later. *2 Requires Android OS 2.1 or later.
Three High Performance Sound Expansion Systems
A seven-channel system provides a more immersive
entertainment experience, with additional High or Wide
channels convincing you with realistic directional and
ambienteffects.AudysseyDSX®, Dolby®Pro Logic®IIz,
andDTSNeo:X™expansion systems offer you freedom to
chooseyourpreferredspeakersetup.AudysseyDSXcan
expand 5.1 sources to incorporate Wide or Height channels.
The Dolby system adds Height channels and stereo source
expansion,whileDTSNeo:XoffersWidesorHeightswith
cinema, music, or game listening modes.
Audyssey MultEQ XT32
Audyssey’stop-of-the-lineroomcorrectionsuiteequalizes
the sound to suit the unique acoustics of your listening
space.High-resolutionltersareappliedtoallchannels—
including subwoofers—based on information collected from
more than 10,000 individual control points across eight
measurement positions.
Innovative Design and Quality Construction
This receiver is built to deliver superb sound quality.
Processingequipmentandampliercircuitsarehoused
separately to limit electrical interference, while PLL (Phase
LockedLoop)jittercleaningpreservessignalintegrityby
eliminatingdigitalclocknoise.Theamplier’sthree-stage
inverted Darlington circuitry—an enhancement to the core
WRAT(WideRangeAmplierTechnology)concept—
ensures minimal distortion, and better manages impedance
uctuations.Qualitycircuitrydovetailswithaheavy-duty
power supply for instantaneous response to signal gains.The
resulting sound is reliably pure, even under heavy loads.
