7.2-Channel Network A/V Receiver

Custom Toroidal Transformer and Hi-Current Amps for Ultra-Low-Frequency Sound

Backed by 70 years’ experience building ampliers and high-grade audio components, the TX-RZ900 ’s custom toroidal transformer and capacitors help to reproduce ultra-low frequencies down to 5 Hz so you can feel the bass

impact in your chest. Our high-current amplication system

also enables enhanced control of the speakers for accurate and dynamic sound.

Non-Phase-Shift Amp for Realistic Audio Imaging

Wide Range Amp Technology (WRAT) prevents phase shifting by pushing the roll-off point higher than the listening level frequency. Amplifying sound without phase shift creates an uncommonly clear, well focused, and realistic audio image.

VLSC™ for Noiseless Audio Processing

Onkyo developed Vector Linear Shaping Circuitry (VLSC) to reassemble the signal in its original form following processing.

Unlike conventional lters, VLSC completely removes pulse-

noise generated in D/A conversion, allowing the sound wave

to be reproduced with extremely high delity.

Parallel Push-Pull Amplication with Three-Stage

Inverted Darlington Circuitry

Parallel Push-Pull Amplication on the front channels enables

high instantaneous current through low-impedance Three Stage Inverted Darlington Circuitr y, delivering power, current,

and efciency that is simply unrivalled in its class.

DTS:X™ and Dolby Atmos® Support

DTS:X is a next-generation object-based surround-sound technology that includes height to deliver a fully immersive listening experience in your living room. DTS:X

provides the ultimate in exibility, immersion,

and interactivity. Dolby Atmos transports you from an ordinary moment into an extraordinar y experience

with captivating, multidimensional sound that lls your room and ows all around you to move your mind, body, and soul.

THX®-Certied Amp Quality

THX certication guarantees the same high-volume, low-distortion sound you experience in a commercial cinema in your listening

room. THX recommended for screen-to-seat

Select2™ Plus is

viewing distances of 3-4 m.

Premium 384 kHz/32-bit DAC for Hi-Res Audio

Onkyo A/V receivers are engineered for universal Hi-Res playback including DSD 5.6 MHz and 192 kHz/24-bit FLAC

les. A top-quality AK4458 DAC from Asahi Kasei extracts the

best possible performance from any format for transparent, lifelike sound.

HDMI® 8 In / 2 Out Including 1 Front (4K UltraHD / HDCP 2.2 / 4:4:4 Color)

HDMI terminals support 4K/60 Hz video as well as HDCP 2.2

for next-generation UltraHD streaming and broadcasting.

Bluetooth Audio, Wi-Fi®, and AirPlay with Spotify
