Home theater fulfillment at a price you can afford

If you're looking for a budget-friendly A/V receiver that offers versatile connectivity and compatibility with the latest processing technology, Onkyo's TXSR507 has you covered. With four HDMI 1.3a inputs, it can accept up to four high-definition sources — from Blu-ray Disc to HD broadcasting to high definition games — and output them to your compatible HDTV. HDMI 1.3a also enables you to enjoy the pristine "lossless" audio of Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio, as well as secondary audio on Blu-ray Disc via DTS-HD Express. The TXSR507 comes with a suite of Audyssey surround-sound technologies to help tailor audio output to the unique dimensions of your entertainment space. Meanwhile, a new universal port makes it easy to incorporate an optional Onkyo Dock for the iPod or Onkyo HD Radio tuner into your system. With all this, plus four high-impact Game Modes and the ability to send different audio to two rooms simultaneously, the TXSR507 puts a huge amount of entertainment potential at your fingertips.

The HDMI you've been waiting for

The Onkyo TXSR507's four HDMI v1.3a video inputs provide an advanced interface for transporting high definition (HD) video with Deep-Color capability including 1080p content from Blu-ray players, HD set-top boxes, and the latest generation of gaming consoles; what's more, all multichannel audio, from bit-for-bit streams to standard Dolby Digital, can be input via HDMI for processing on the TXSR507. In addition to its four HDMI inputs, the TXSR507 includes two HD bandwidth switching component video and four composite video inputs to accommodate other sources. There are a total of four digital audio inputs, as well as six analog audio inputs, 5.1-channel multichannel inputs, and powered Zone 2 outputs.

Get in the zone

The TXSR507 features Onkyo's Powered Zone 2 capability, which can be used to power stereo speakers in a second room while listening to 5.1-channel sound in the main zone thanks to a dedicated set of Zone 2 L/R speaker terminals. The receiver is capable of processing separate multichannel and stereo sources simultaneously for the main and second zone, or processing a single source for both. There's also a Zone 2 pre-out that can be used in conjunction with a dedicated zone amplifier or receiver. Finally, for those with premium bi-ampable loudspeakers, where the bass and midrange/treble drivers are each driven by separate amplifiers, the rear surround channels can be reconfigured for this more powerful operating mode.

Iliad and Audyssey 2EQ/Dynamic EQ

With unquestionably no relation to Homer's epic poems of the Trojan War, Audyssey 2EQ automatic speaker calibration provides remarkable improvements in performance by calibrating the home theater system to its acoustical environment. With this system, the included calibration microphone is used to analyze the system's acoustical output at three unique positions in the listening area. By taking readings in two different locations in the theater room, with the microphone placed at the listening positions, the receiver sends test signals to each speaker in turn, then uses the input from the microphone to adjust channel level and time delay settings for each speaker. And, as if that weren't enough, the TXSR507 is among the first receivers ever to employ Audyssey's Dynamic EQ algorithm, which adds moment-by-moment refinement to the receiver's frequency response and surround levels in order to compensate for volume-dependent deterioration in listening, particularly at low volume levels. When used in combination with the Audyssey 2EQ system, this feature tailors the receiver's output to correct for room acoustics, listening position, and playback-level distortions, delivering an overall experience that is a much closer match to what the audio production engineers originally intended.

Help for compressed music files

The TXSR507 is in the second generation of receivers to implement Onkyo's Music Optimizer technology, which improves the quality of compressed audio such as MP3 and AAC encoded digital music files. While these compressed audio formats sound quite acceptable over small headphones or PC speaker systems, when reproduced on a full-scale home theater system the loss of high-frequency information becomes much more apparent. The Music Optimizer employs sophisticated equalization and optimization algorithms to overcome these faults, and enhances the reproduction quality of digitally compressed music.

Get big sound from your little iPod

The TXSR507 features a proprietary universal port, located on the rear side of the unit, to which you can connect Onkyo's HD Radio Tuner or Dock for the iPod. The dock sends both video and audio signals through a single cable. Earlier versions of Onkyo's Dock for the iPod can be connected via our Remote Interactive (RI) system.
