TX-NR609
7.2-CHANNEL NETWORK A/V RECEIVER
HDMI™ Support for 3D Video and Audio
Return Channel
The six HDMI inputs on the TX-NR609 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. The HDMI implementation on this
receiver supports both 3D video and an Audio Return
Channel, along with numerous high-resolution formats. 3D
video brings exciting possibilities to home entertainment,
with movie, game, and broadcast content on the increase
and 3D-compatible TVs now on the market. Meanwhile,
the Audio Return Channel allows audio content received
directly by your HDTV’s tuner to be sent “upstream”
via HDMI to your A/V receiver, without the need for a
separate S/PDIF audio cable.
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-NR609 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-NR609 also
brings to life a huge array of internet radio channels from
Last.fm* and vTuner. 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. The
TX-NR609’s internet connectivity has the added benefit of
making firmware updates simpler than ever.
*Availability of services depends on region.
Direct Digital Connection of iPod/iPhone via
Front-Panel USB Port
The TX-NR609’s front-panel USB port lets you access
MP3, WMA, WMA Lossless, FLAC, WAV, Ogg Vorbis,
and AAC audio files stored on a USB flash drive or iPod/
iPhone. As the audio signals are transported 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.
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-NR609 had to meet
the world’s most demanding standards for home cinema
audio quality and performance, and play at reference
volume levels with minimal distortion.
Marvell Qdeo™ Video Chip for 4K Upscaling and
Processing
The TX-NR609 offers full 4K (3840 x 2160) upscaling
of standard video sources such as 480i/p, 720p, and
1080i/p. Interlaced-to-progressive conversion and scaling
are performed by a high-quality Marvell Qdeo videoprocessing chip. Qdeo is a versatile video processor that
uses algorithms designed to erase video noise and artifacts
such as jaggies and feathering. Played back on a compatible
wide-screen display, your Blu-ray Discs and DVDs will look
more detailed and cinematic than ever.
Audyssey DSX™ and Dolby™ Pro Logic™ IIz Add
Expanded Dimensions to Surround Sound
The TX-NR609 handles two advanced surround-sound
technologies from Audyssey and Dolby that offer exciting
new ways to set up the speakers in your home cinema
system. Audyssey DSX can reconfigure the TX-NR609’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.
Three-Stage Inverted Darlington Circuitry
Three-stage inverted Darlington circuitry is a core Onkyo
technology that brings greater efficiency to the TX-NR609.
It incorporates a low-NFB design to remove distortion and
enhance the natural character of audio signals. Sensitive to
oscillations, this circuitry requires very advanced control
technology in order to be incorporated into the amplifier.
Overlaid Graphical On-Screen Display and GUI
Navigation
Changing the TX-NR609’s settings is a seamless affair,
thanks to the receiver’s overlaid graphical On-Screen
Display (OSD). Set-up menus appear overlaid on the video
image you’re watching, so you don’t have to switch to a
blank screen background. Meanwhile, a new GUI lets you
smoothly navigate internet radio and iPod/iPhone contents.
The OSD and GUI both operate over HDMI, making
excellent use of that versatile interface.
