7.1-Channel Home Theater A/V Receiver

One of Onkyo's 2nd generation high definition A/V receivers, the 90-watt per channel TXSR606 is at the forefront of affordable home theater. The key is having the most capable version (1.3a) of HDMI fully implemented. This receiver has four 1080p-capable HDMI inputs for Blu-ray Disc players, gaming consoles, and cable/satellite boxes to assure you have everything in the digital realm covered. And non-1080p video signals can can be upscaled to 1080i, regardless of the connection, for HDMI output.

Onkyo's best seller now gives you even more

As part of the second generation Onkyo high definition-capable A/V receivers, the TXSR606 moves to the forefront of affordable home theater, ahead even of the company's best-selling 605 model, which this new receiver replaces. The key is having the most capable version (1.3a) of HDMI fully implemented. The TXSR606 provides high definition video and audio processing for four source components, everything from Blu-ray Disc players, gaming consoles, and cable/satellite boxes, to assure you have everything in the digital realm covered. Apart from 1080p video, the TXSR606 can upscale all video signals to 1080i, regardless of the connection, for output via HDMI. Onkyo's own RIHD (Remote Interactive over HDMI) also gives you interoperability with the displays and playback components from other leading brands. And with an expanded version of Audyssey's room correction technology, the TXSR606 maintains the fullness of surround sound audio quality especially at low volume levels. Here's a receiver that gives you performance excellence seldom seen at this price level.

What can HDMI v1.3a do for you?

With the latest HDMI version and advanced A/V processing capabilities, the TXSR606 is a powerful control center for all high definition media, including Blu-ray Disc, games, and HD broadcasts. You can connect up to four components via HDMI to receive and switch compatible sources for a pure digital connection to an HDTV. Also, all multichannel audio, from bit-for-bit streams to standard Dolby Digital, can be digitally transported via HDMI for processing by the TXSR606. This version of HDMI enables CEC (Consumer Electronics Control), greater bandwidth to deal with higher resolutions, 36-bit Deep Color, and high frame rates.

Got next-generation surround sound codecs?

The TXSR606 has the decoding technologies, like Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio, to enable lossless, bit-for-bit soundtrack reproduction that's identical to that of the studio master. Both these audio codecs are designed for the Blu-ray Disc format. The receiver also handles two lossy (meaning not lossless) technologies, Dolby Digital Plus and DTS-HD High Resolution Audio. Dolby Digital Plus is designed for high definition video content delivered via disc media, broadcast, or online. DTS-HD High Resolution Audio, meanwhile, offers a greater bit rate, a higher sampling rate, and more channels than the core DTS technology.

Faroudja give you the Edge

The TXSR606's HDMI inputs can receive pristine digital video from HDMI-enabled components for a single-cable output to a display device with an HDMI or DVI connection. 1080p video is processed as it is, but all other signals can be upscaled to 1080i via HDMI. Upscaling takes the video resolution to pure HD quality, and it better matches the native resolution of today's high definition displays. To improve performance even more on high definition displays, the TXSR606 uses a deinterlacing chip with Faroudja DCDi Edge technology, effectively eliminating video artifacts.

You're in control

Courtesy of HDMI v1.3a, the TXSR606 offers integrated system control with selected HDMI-compatible high definition displays, DVD and hard-disk recorders, and Blu-ray Disc players. With only the Onkyo receiver's RIHD (Remote Interactive over HDMI) remote, you can control several functions, including Standby, Volume Command, and Direct Change. RIHD lets you seamlessly integrate the TXSR606 with other leading brand-name devices, including Panasonic VIERA Link, Toshiba CE-Link, Sharp AQUOS Link, and Samsung Anynet+ models.

Audyssey corrects for room distortion and loudness

The TXSR606 uses Audyssey 2EQ auto setup to counter distortion created by walls, furniture, and other objects. This technology detects speaker distance, and then sets levels, delays, and crossovers, while also measuring room acoustics. Compared to one-position room correction systems, Audyssey 2EQ covers a much wider listening area. Moreover, it corrects problems in both frequency response and time domain (where most of the problems lie) across the entire listening area. The results are immediately obvious. You get clear, well-balanced and natural sound. After 2EQ calibration, Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of deteriorating sound quality at lower volumes. The professionals who create music and movies do so at reference levels much louder than typical home listening levels. When volume is reduced on a standard home theater receiver, the bass disappears, voices change, and the surround soundstage becomes less enveloping. As volume is adjusted on the TXSR606, however, Dynamic EQ selects the best possible frequency response and surround levels moment-by-moment, resulting in an ideal listening experience at any volume level.

Amp-up those sound effects

The TXSR606's surround back speaker channels enhance the ambience and sound effects of movies. They can also be used with the front left and right channels to provide two separate amplification channels for compatible bi-amping speakers (those with two sets of input terminals). In effect, two separate channels drive the woofer and tweeter of each front speaker. This improves sound quality by maximizing power to the low, mid, and high-range frequencies, respectively. It also gives you a more powerful, dynamic soundfield for two-channel music and movie sound effects.

Are you SIRIUS?

By using the rear port on the TXSR606 that connects to the optional (not included) SiriusConnect home tuner kit, it's possible to access SIRIUS Satellite Radio and listen through your home theater system. SIRIUS brings you over 130 digital-quality channels, including 69 channels of 100% commercial-free music, plus exclusive channels of sports, news, talk, entertainment, traffic, weather, and data. SIRIUS Satellite Radio service and hardware are not included with the TXSR606; activation and subscription fees apply.

Music Optimizer tunes up your MP3s

While MP3 or AAC compressed audio files may sound fine through headphones on a portable digital player, the deficiencies of these files can be exposed when they're played back through a home entertainment system. Onkyo designed onboard Music Optimizer technology to improve the quality of compressed audio signals. Compressed music loses a substantial amount of bit information at higher frequencies, so the Music Optimizer technology works to overcome this limitation and enhance audio quality.
