Audyssey DSX™ Adds Extra Dimensions to Surround Sound
Audyssey DSX lets you augment a standard 7.1-channel surround set-up with two “front wide” channels. Two extra speakers expand the width of the soundstage and help to produce a more realistic and immersive listening experience. Alternatively, Audyssey DSX can be configured to deliver “front height” channels. These channels carry non-directional audio that adds a new vertical dimension to your movies and games.
Dolby® Pro Logic® IIz for a More Enveloping Sound Field
As with previous versions of Pro Logic, Pro Logic IIz creates a surround-sound experience from any movie or music source— even a stereo one. Pro
Logic IIz also enables you to incorporate two “front height” speakers in one of several configurations, depending on the available speaker channels. The front height channels carry ambient audio effects that help immerse you even more deeply into your games and movies.
Processing 1080p Video and High-Def Surround Sound via HDMI 1.3a*
Incorporating HDMI version 1.3a and advanced processing capabilities, the TXNR5007 works as a powerful A/V control center. Seven rear-side HDMI inputs, along with a convenient front-side one, enable connection of up to eight components, including Blu-ray Disc players, gaming consoles, and set-top boxes. The system can then receive and switch high-definition video signals and send a pristine digital signal to two different output locations— for example, to two separate high-definition displays. On the audio front, lossless Dolby® TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio™ provide a bit-for-bit multichannel soundtrack identical to the studio master track.
*HDMI version 1.3a supports Deep Color™, x.v.Color™, LipSync, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio, DVD-Audio, Super Audio CD, Multichannel PCM, and CEC
THX Ultra2 Plus Certified with New THX® Loudness Plus™Technology
The ultimate benchmark for home audio performance, THX Ultra2 Plus is specified for rooms where the screen-to-seat viewing distance is more than
4 meters and the room volume is 85 cubic meters or greater. To achieve THX Ultra2 Plus certification, the TX-NR5007 must meet the world’s most
demanding standards for home theatre audio quality and performance, and must play at reference volume levels with minimal distortion. THX Loudness Plus is a volume control technology included in THX Ultra2 Plus that compensates for the tonal and spatial shifts that occur when the volume level is lowered. It
automatically adjusts the levels of ambient sound and bass frequencies, so you can enjoy the true impact of movies, music, and games no matter what volume setting you use.
Advanced Video Processing and 1080p Upscaling with HQV Reon-VX
HQV Reon-VX is the most sophisticated video-processing chip available for home theatre. It provides the ultimate support for 1080p scaling; for filtering of jaggies and artifacts; and for the reduction of random, “mosquito”, and block (codec) noise. HQV Reon-VX also enables color region enhancement and the rendering of more than one billion colors.
Tailor Multichannel Audio to Your Home with Audyssey and Dolby Technologies
The TX-NR5007 makes use of Audyssey’s MultEQ™ XT, to counter distortion caused by walls and furniture in dedicated home theatres. This solution focuses on the frequency response and time domain across the entire listening area to deliver a clear, well-balanced, and natural sound. Two other Audyssey technologies, Dynamic EQ™ and Dynamic Volume™, work to optimize frequency response and dynamic range at all volume levels. In a similar vein, Dolby® Volume performs independent loudness adjustments to different frequencies and channels to produce a listening experience that includes all the dynamics of the original mix. It also enables users to enjoy a consistent playback volume for different input sources.
ISF Video Calibration for Accurate Video Reproduction
The TX-NR5007 comes equipped with industry-leading ISF (Imaging Science Foundation) video calibration to dramatically improve your home theatre by
enabling you to adjust the brightness, hue, contrast, saturation, and gamma levels on all video inputs. Transforming your A/V receiver into a video hub, this
function ensures that every video source is independently calibrated for your connected high-definition display. What’s more, ISF video calibration has been shown to improve energy savings in displays and projectors by up to 50%.
A Fresh Approach to the Internal Construction of A/V Receivers
Our design philosophy for the TX-NR5007 is based on a consideration of how each individual part interacts with the others and affects audio and video
performance. The end result is a receiver design where the power amplifier block and the pre-amplifier coexist, but are perfectly isolated. Furthermore,
the circuit boards have been affixed to the chassis so that vibrations from the base are suppressed. As Onkyo’s new flagship model for the high-definition
era, the TX-NR5007 forges further ahead with gold-plated A/V inputs and outputs, a brass bus plate for perfect grounding, and customized, gold-plated
speaker posts.
Push-Pull Amplification with Three-Stage Inverted Darlington Circuitry
Push-pull amplification uses different transistors to separately amplify the positive and negative halves of the waveform. This brings greater efficiency to
the TX-NR5007, which also use three-stage inverted Darlington circuitry to remove distortion.
Bi-Amping and BTL (Bridged Transless) Capability
Taking a cue from the world of high-end audio, the TX-NR5007 incorporates biamping and BTL capabilities. This allows for a number of different home theatre set-ups beyond the standard surround-sound configurations. Compatible front speakers can be bi-amped for separate tweeter and woofer inputs. Meanwhile, BTL enables you to double the power output to compatible front speakers.
Harnessing Power for Audio Performance
Onkyo's H.C.P.S. (High Current Power Supply) concept is based around power transformers with the capability to respond to the wide dynamics of
home theatre. In the case of the TX-NR5007, a massive toroidal transformer improves power efficiency and radiates very little noise into the surrounding
circuitry, while two separate transformers cater specifically to audio and video processing. You’ll also find capacitors (operating at up to 22,000 microfarads)
that store the charge necessary to support an effective power supply, along with large new custom-designed transistors to drive high currents.
VLSC™ (Vector Linear Shaping Circuitry)
Onkyo’s VLSC employs a unique digital-to-analog conversion circuit to mitigate the effects of signal noise. Data is converted between discrete
sampling points, which are then joined with analog vectors in real-time to produce a smooth output wave form. The result—a noiseless, smooth analog signal
based on the digital source.
WRAT (Wide Range Amplifier Technology) Providing Amplification Backbone
The cornerstone of any Onkyo A/V receiver, WRAT supports high-quality audio reproduction of the latest high-definition A/V formats. It comprises three key elements: (1) A low negative-feedback design for cleaner audio across the frequency range; (2) Closed ground-loop circuits to cancel individual circuit noise and keep the ground potential free of distortion; and (3) A high instantaneouscurrent capability to handle speaker reflex energy and impedance fluctuations.
Jitter Control Technology for Cleaner Digital Signals
To counteract the impact of jitter on clock timing, the TX-NR5007 employs Phase Locked Loop (PLL) circuitry, jitter-resistant DACs, and a board design with signal pathways of uniform length. PLL circuitry works by automatically raising or lowering the oscillator frequency to match the frequency and phase of the input signal. By preventing disruption of the digital waveform, PLL helps ensure an accurate and well-focused analog sound wave.
Linear Optimum Gain Volume Circuitry
In conventional volume-attenuation methods, the signal comes close to the noise floor at low volumes and is therefore susceptible to interference. Even if the amount of noise is minimal, it taints the signal as it is amplified. Onkyo’s Optimum Gain Volume Circuitry adjusts the gain so that less than half the typical amount of attenuation is necessary. The signal never comes close to the noise floor, thereby eliminating the possibility of the noise contamination that plagues conventional volume-attenuation designs.
Burr-Brown 192 kHz/32-Bit DACs for All Channels
The TX-NR5007 uses Burr-Brown 192 kHz/32-bit DACs which employ an advanced Texas Instruments DAC architecture (PCM1795) to achieve
excellent dynamic performance and improved tolerance to clock jitter.
Texas Instruments DSP (Digital Signal Processing) Chips
The TX-NR5007 employs three Texas Instruments DSP chips (one DA830 and two DA788s) to handle the advanced processing needs of Dolby® TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio™, Audyssey MultEQ™ XT, and post-processing. The DA830 is also specially designed to cope with the heavy demands of
processing a network connection.
Neural-THX® Surround Decoding Technology
Neural-THX Surround enables content to be encoded into 5.1 or 7.1 channels and transmitted to the TX-NR5007, where it is decoded onboard. This
technology reduces the bandwidth needed by broadcasters to deliver sound content and enables 7.1-channel support for gaming and movies.
Playback of Different A/V Sources Throughout the Home
Zone 2/3 and Powered Zone 2/3 bring multi-zone audio entertainment to your home through dedicated line outs, pre outs, and speaker connections.
With the TX-NR5007, you can also enjoy video in a second room, as well as independent control of volume levels, speaker balance, and bass/treble levels in the separate zones.
Four Game Modes for More Thrilling Action
A recent addition to Onkyo home theatre, these four gaming modes create an audio experience with more realism and impact. You can select from Rock, Sports, Action, or RPG (Role Playing Game) modes to match your gaming content.
Universal Port for Single-Cable Connection of Onkyo Peripheral Devices
A proprietary Universal Port located on the rear side of the TX-NR5007 lets you connect an UP-A1 Dock for the iPod or UP-DT1 DAB+ Radio Tuner.
If you have both peripheral devices, they can easily be “daisy chained” via an input on the UP-DT1. 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 devices. Earlier versions of Onkyo’s Dock for the iPod can be connected via our RI (Remote Interactive) system.
