TX-SR608 7.2-Channel Home Cinema Receiver
Hitting the Sweet Spot Where Budget and Performance Meet
Sure, we call it an “entry-level” A/V receiver. But when you witness the full potential of the TX-SR608, you’ll know the level you’re
entering is far beyond the ordinary. For a start, you get six of the latest HDMI®1.4a inputs for simple hook-up of all your high-def
sources. HDMI 1.4a also brings compatibility with the new 3D video format, as well as an Audio Return Channel from your display back
to the receiver. Complementing HDMI on the input front, you have an analog RGB video input for connecting your PC, and a Universal
Port for Onkyo peripherals. All video sources, regardless of resolution, can be upscaled to big and beautiful 1080p via HDMI and
Faroudja DCDi Cinema™. Audio processing incorporates quality Burr-Brown DACs, lossless Dolby and DTS codecs, and the expanded
surround formats of Audyssey DSX™and Dolby®Pro Logic®IIz. Three-stage inverted Darlington circuitry and jitter-cleaning technology
work to ensure extremely precise and faithful amplification. In recognition of the TX-SR608’s outstanding A/V prowess, it has been
awarded THX®Select2 Plus™Certification.
HDMI®1.4a Support for 3D Video and Audio Return
Channel
The six HDMI 1.4a inputs on the TX-SR608 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 Return Channel. 3D video is the next big thing in home
entertainment, with movie, game, and broadcast content on the
increase and 3D-compatible TVs on the near horizon. The TX-SR608
also offers the convenience of an Audio Return 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.
HDMI Video Upscaling to 1080p with Faroudja DCDi
Cinema
™
hen it comes to video processing, the Faroudja DCDi Cinema
(Directional Correlational Deinterlacing) video processor 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. hat’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.
Audyssey DSX™and Dolby®Pro Logic®IIz Add New
Dimensions to Surround Sound
The TX-SR608 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-SR608’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.
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-SR608 must meet the world’s most demanding standards for home
cinema audio quality and performance, and must play at reference
volume levels with minimal distortion.

Decoding of High-Definition Surround-
Sound Codecs
The TX-SR608 can decode Dolby®TrueHD and
DTS-HD Master Audio™—two lossless formats that
enable delivery of a bit-for-bit soundtrack identical
to the studio master track. These codecs, previously
available only on mid-range and high-end receivers,
take advantage of the high data capacity of the
Blu-ray format.
Convenient Overlaid Graphical
On-Screen Display via HDMI
Changing your A/V receiver’s settings is now more
seamless than ever, thanks to the TX-SR608’s new
overlaid graphical On-Screen Display (OSD)
feature. Simply press the Home button on the
included remote controller, and semi-transparent
graphical set-up menus appear overlaid on the
video image you’re watching. This means you can
adjust the settings immediately, without having to
switch back and forth from a blank screen
background.
192 kHz/24-Bit Burr-Brown DACs
Improve Jitter Performance to Deliver
Clearer Sound
High-quality Burr-Brown DACs (PCM1690) work to
optimize analog audio performance on the
TX-SR608. These DACs perform advanced 24-bit
signal processing and support sampling rates of up
to 192 kHz, while displaying high resistance to clock
jitter and offering a 113 dB dynamic range.
A Suite of Audyssey Technologies for the
Ideal Listening Environment
(1) Audyssey 2EQ™tailors multi-channel audio for
your home cinema speaker set-up by measuring
three room positions and applying a resolution
filter to the satellite speakers to correct for room
acoustics.
(2) Audyssey Dynamic Volume™ automatically
compensates for volume fluctuations in different
audio content—for example, during commercial
breaks—while optimizing the dynamic range.
(3)Audyssey Dynamic EQ™maintains a consistent
bass response, tonal balance, and surround-sound
effect at different volume levels, so you can enjoy
the natural dynamics of your content regardless of
the volume.
Playback of Different Audio Sources in
Two Different ones
ith 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 line-out to send an
unamplified audio signal to an amplifier (and
speakers) in the second room.
