digital-to-analog converters for all main channels in our top receivers they not only boast a dynamic range of 120 db they process information faster and are virtually resistant to clock jitter to ensure the best possible performance from dvd-audio dvd-video super audio cd and pcm cd multi-zone playback through powered zone 2 and zone 3 powered zone 2 and zone 3 bring multi-zone entertainment to your home with powered zone 2 you can enjoy one input source in the main room and a different source in another room through two different connection methods using a receiver/integrated amp in zone 2 or using only a pair of speakers in zone 2 in the former case you can enjoy 7.1 surround sound in the main room and play a different a/v source in zone 2 in the latter case you can have 5.1 surround sound in the main room and play a different stereo a/v source in zone 2 with the tx-nr1000 it s possible to connect a receiver/integrated amp in a third zone zone 3 to enjoy distributed entertainment as in zone 2 this way you can enjoy a full 7.1-channel source in the main room while playing two separate stereo sources in zone 2 and zone 3 dolby® digital technologies dolby is a recognized pioneer of multichannel audio reproduction and with the upcoming dolby® digital plus and dolby® truehd codecs back-compatible with dolby® digital-enabled a/v receivers they have also shown that they are a vital leader in home entertainment among their current formats dolby® digital extm creates six fullbandwidth channels from 5.1-channel sources using a matrix decoder to create an extra surround channel dolby® pro logic® iix transforms any stereo or 5.1 signal into a 6.1or 7.1-channel output with modes that enable the listening experience to be tailored to the source material game mode for example can deliver full-impact special effects signals to the surround speakers dolby® virtual speaker and dolby® headphone are virtual surround technologies color-coded speaker terminals these color-coded speaker terminals take the guesswork out of matching wires to the correct terminals simply attach the color-coded label to the speaker cable and attach the cable to the samecolored speaker terminal for easy speaker connection dts® digital theater systems technologies dts offers premium sound quality with optimal channel separation like dolby dts has two new back-compatible codecs for high-definition formats dts®-hd master audio and dts®-hd both of which will work with standard dts® a discrete 5.1-channel system dts® neo:6 derives 6-channel sound from a stereo 2-channel soundtrack and dts® neo:6 5.1 derives 5.1-channel sound dts®-estm comprises dts®-estm discrete which provides a 6.1-channel system with a discrete back surround channel and dts®estm matrix which provides a 6.1-channel system with a matrix-encoded back surround channel dts® 96/24 offers you the sound quality of the 96/24 master which can be encoded on dvd-video or in the video zone of dvd-audio crossover adjustment depending on your choice of onkyo a/v receiver you can set the subwoofer crossover at different frequencies being able to choose where the subwoofer takes over bassproducing responsibilities from the front speakers gives you more precise reproduction of movie soundtracks it also means you can select from a wider range of speaker packages and match speakers with differing crossover frequencies to your home theater system hd-dvd and blu-ray disc hd-dvd can hold high-definition video and other data it can also be mastered with up to 7.1-channel surround sound using linear uncompressed pcm and incorporating dolby® digital and dts® formats used on standard dvds in addition it also supports dolby® digital plus and the lossless formats dolby® truehd and dts®-hd similarly the competing blu-ray format can also store high-definition video and data including the aforementioned surround formats while all blu-ray movies released so far use a singlelayer 25 gb disc that can hold two hours of high-definition video content most hddvd movies released are on 30 gb discs that can hold four hours of high-definition content onkyo s micro fiber omf a-omf a-omf monocoque onkyo micro fiber omf made from a pure cotton weave to absorb vibrations was first developed to create a thick yet rigid diaphragm that enables an extremely fast accurate response the next stage saw the advent of a-omf which incorporates a pen polyethylene naphthalate layer with a flexible cotton weave that makes speaker cones even stronger and more resistant to heat we then added an aramid layer to create new a-omf the evolution has been taken a step further with a-omf monocoque essentially sharing the same material composition as new a-omf but forming a single continuous cover over the cone all four diaphragm types achieve improved midrange clarity and imaging for an astonishingly vivid natural sound neural audio and neural surroundtm neural audio corporation an audio development company specializing in digital signal processing solutions for broadcast and consumer electronics is the developer of neural surround this proprietary audio format conveys the rich envelopment and discrete image detail of surround sound and is 100 compatible with stereo content chosen by xm® satellite radio as the format for their xm hd surround programming neural surround delivers the excitement of surround music through 5.1-channel satellite radio programming cinemafiltertm the tonal balance of a film soundtrack can be edgy and bright when played back over audio equipment in your home this is because film soundtracks are designed to be played back in large theaters using commercial equipment onkyo has developed its own solution that restores the correct tonal balance of a movie soundtrack in the smaller environs of your home theater eco environmentally sound speaker development onkyo uses recycled materials in the construction of selected speakers and controls the discharge of effluent during the production of the a-omf monocoque diaphragm 27
