Works with Sonos
The awesome home theater you’ve built around your Onkyo receiver can now be part of your existing Sonos Home Sound System, or the start of a new one. After a simple set up, your Onkyo receiver will seamlessly tie into Sonos** via Sonos Connect, instantly waking, changing inputs and playing at the volume you command through the familiar Sonos app.
Dolby Atmos and DTS:X with upmixing solutions
DTS Neural:X and Dolby Surround upmixing solutions find spatial cues in legacy multichannel soundtracks and upmix them for 3D audio playback through your object-audio-ready speaker system.
THX Certified Select Reference Sound
THX Certified Select components suit rooms where screen-to-seat viewing distance is about 10 feet and room volume around 2,000 cubic feet and guarantees the high-volume sound experienced at a commercial theater in your home.
Supports 4K HDR, BT.2020, 4K/60 Hz, and HDCP 2.2
Six rear HDMI inputs support pass-through of 4K HDR in HDR10, HLG, and Dolby Vision formats. They handle the BT.2020 4K Video Standard, 4K/60 Hz playback, and HDCP 2.2 for premium content. Front HDMI connects video cameras or consoles, while rear Sub Out is ideal for connecting a projector.
