NETWORK STEREO RECEIVER

WRAT (Wide Range Amplifier Technology)

The TX-8050 employs a host of proprietar y Onkyo
technologies to ensure optimal audio performance.

Low Negative-Feedback Design

Too much NFB makes a system susceptible to counter-electromotive
force from the speakers, resulting in a drop in perceived sound
quality. To avoid this, Onkyo focuses on improving the frequency
response and reducing distort ion, without relying so much on NFB.

Closed Ground-Loop Circuits

The TX-8050 employs a sophisticated closed-circuit design in which
each circuit has a separate link to the power supply. This helps to
cancel individual circuit noise and keep the ground potential free
of distortion.

HICC (High I nstantaneous-Current Cap ability)

HICC enables a n amplifier to immediately cancel the speakers’
reflex energy and instantaneously send out th e next signal. The
same high cu rrent required to achieve this also supports the
amplifier’s ability to handle speaker impedance fluctu ations.

Network Capability Delivers Internet Radio and
Network Audio Streaming via Ethernet

As one of Onkyo’s new breed of receivers that can link
directly to the internet or to your home PC via a local
network, the TX-8050 takes streaming audio and internet
radio to a whole new level. MP3, WMA, WMA Lossless,
FLAC, WAV, Ogg Vorbis, AAC, and LPCM audio files can
now be played back through your main system with
unprecedented power and fidelity. The TX-8050 also brings
to life a huge array of internet radio channels vTuner,

, plus on-demand music streaming from Napster

, Mediafly, Pandora®, and

and Rhapsody*. As well as being compatible with earlier
platforms, the receiver is compatible with Microsoft’s

®

7 platform, which includes the DLNA

Windows

1.5-specified “Play To” media-streaming feature.

* Availability of internet radio and music streaming ser vices depends on region.

Direct Digital Connection of iPod®/iPhone®via
Front-Panel USB Port

The TX-8050’s front-panel USB por t lets you access MP3,
WMA, WMA Lossless, FLAC, WAV, Ogg Vorbis, and AAC
audio files stored on a USB flash dr ive or iPod/iPhone. As
the audio signals are tr ansported in digital form, rather than
analog, there is much less chance for signal degradation. End
result: your music sounds cleaner and more faithful to the
original. A further benefit of the USB input is that it lets you
use the system’s remote controller to play back audio files
on the connected device.

Onkyo Remote App for iPod/iPhone*

Available as a free download, this app lets you use your
iPod touch or iPhone as a remote controller to control a
range of functions on the TX-8050. As well as letting you
select internet radio stations, it also lets you select
streaming audio input from a DLNA-compatible server.
The Remote App also enables you to perform basic
playback operations and control the receiver’s volume with
an interface that uses the iPod/iPhone’s built-in
accelerometer.

*Compatible iPod/iPhone models: iPod touch 3rd generation or later, iPhone 3GS or
later; running iOS 4.2 or later.

Play Your Audio Sources in Two Different Rooms

Zone 2 pre-outs on the TX-8050 allow you to send a
stereo audio signal to a second room equipped with an
amplifier and a pair of speakers. You can either enjoy the
same source in both rooms, or play a different source in
Zone 2.

Universal Port for Single-Cable Connection of
Onkyo Peripheral Devices

A proprietary Universal Port located on the rear side of
the TX-8050 lets you connect an optional UP-A1 Dock for
iPod/iPhone, UP-HT1 HD Radio
Wireless Audio Module . A key advantage of the Universal
Port is that it accepts video and audio signals through the
same cable that sends a power supply from the receiver to
the device. Net result: more connectivity, less cable clutter.
