THX®Select2 Plus™for Reference-Level Sound
To be awarded THX Select2 Plus certification—the most
rigorous performance benchmark for this type of product—
the home cinema receiver must play at studio reference
volume levels with minimal distortion. Select2 Plus is
specified for screen-to-seat distances of three to four meters
and room volumes of about 56 cubic meters.
Onboard Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Streaming Technology
The TX-NR828 connects to the wireless home network
without LAN cables or adapters. Send a huge range of
hi-res, lossless, and compressed files to your home cinema
from smartphone, PC, tablet, NAS, and online sources using
our remote control app. Or pair devices for quality wireless
streaming using the built-in Bluetooth technology.
Music Streaming and Internet Radio Services
The TX-NR828 comes preloaded with popular music
streaming and internet radio services including Spotify,
Last.fm, and TuneIn Radio.They’re easily selectable using the
receiver’s GUI or the remote control app. Explore more than
10,000 radio stations and enjoy albums and playlists with
theater-fidelity sound.
Note: Availability of services depends on region. Some services may require a
subscription and a firmware update. Availability of services advertised here is
accurate at the time of publication, but may be subject to change without notice.
HDMI®for High Resolution Playback
The TX-NR828 features eight HDMI inputs to accept hi-res
content from your media players and gaming consoles. HDMI
enables Dolby®TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio™audio
formats, and supports 3D video.Two outputs (one with
Audio Return Channel) are included to connect your TV and
projector.
Supports 4K Video Content
With 4K televisions, media players, and projectors hitting
the market, it’s reassuring to know your A/V receiver is
compatible with this new technology. Passthrough of native
4K from source devices to an appropriate display is fully
supported.
4K Video Upscaling via Qdeo™Technology
The TX-NR828 uses Qdeo technology from Marvell to upscale
standard video sources to brilliantly smooth 1080p (for regular
HDTVs) and to an incredible 4K on compatible displays.
MHL™for Mobile Phones and Tablets
A frontside HDMI/MHL terminal is included to connect
smartphones and other electronic devices. MHL allows you
to display 1080p video and other media on your HDTV with
7.1 channels of surround sound.
Quick and Easy Remote App Control
Our remote apps for iPhone and Android devices offer a
convenient way to control your entertainment from anywhere
within wireless range.The app offers a clear interface for
managing content, settings, and playback across multiple zones.
Hassle-Free Video Switching
Switching between games, movies, and cable TV should be
easy. InstaPrevue™technology names your HDMI devices and
displays video thumbnails of available content. Now you can
switch sources without having to remember what device is
connected where.
Overlaid Menus for Quick Adjustments
Touch the Quick Set-Up button on your remote to overlay
menus in-program.You can now access useful settings
without interruption to your viewing.The Home Menu,
meanwhile, offers simple icons for choosing a media source,
and more detailed system adjustment.
An Introduction to Premium Hi-Fi Sound
Onkyo’s WRAT (Wide Range Amp Technology) includes
discrete low-negative-feedback amplifiers for punchy,
true-to-life sound; closed ground-loop circuits to reduce
noise; and high instantaneous current to counter impedance
fluctuations.Three-Stage Inverted Darlington Circuitry is
featured on all channels to handle reference-level playback
without distorting.
Audyssey MultEQ®
MultEQ equalizes your system to suit the unique shape of
your room. Measuring six listening positions, MultEQ applies
filters to satellites and subwoofers to create a perfectly
balanced soundstage.
Audyssey Dynamic EQ®
Dynamic EQ solves the problem of deteriorating sound
quality at low volume. It selects the best frequency response
and surround levels moment-by-moment, resulting in an
optimal listening experience at any volume.
Audyssey Dynamic Volume®
Audyssey Dynamic Volume®compensates for volume
fluctuations in different audio content—for example, during
noisy commercial breaks—and adjusts the volume in real time.
Audyssey DSX®and Dolby®Pro Logic IIz®
Audyssey DSX lets you augment your setup with two Front
Wide channels, expanding the width of the soundstage, or
two Front Height speakers to add a vertical dimension to
movies and games. Dolby Pro Logic IIz offers Front Height
channels with 7.1-channel upmixing from stereo sources.
App-Controllable Multi-Zone Audio
The TX-NR828 features Powered Zone 2 outputs and
Zone 2/3 line-outs.This lets you assign two channels to
power audio in a room equipped with speakers. An existing
hi-fi system in a third room can also be connected via the
line-out, enabling the use of the A/V receiver as a pre-amp
and audio server. Control content in all three zones via
remote app; play the same song in all zones using Whole
House Mode; or enjoy a different song in every room.
Phase-Matching Bass Enhancement
Onkyo’s PM Bass optimizes low frequencies while preserving
mid-range clarity. It counters phase shifting (which can affect
sound quality) by synchronizing frequency timing.The result is
deep, well-defined bass that won’t overwhelm vocals or strings.
Hybrid Standby Power-Saving Mode
HDMI passthrough and network connectivity are maintained
while the receiver is powered down.This facilitates use of
yourTV and other devices without turning on the receiver.
Text on receiver may vary with region.
