Onkyo has announced dealer shipments of its TX-NR901 THX
Select A/V receiver, featuring 7 x 110-Watts, Net-Tune(TM) functionality to play
streaming MP3 files via Ethernet, upconversion of both composite and S-Video to
component video, and a new RF (Radio Frequency) and IR capable remote control.
With processing for every major home theater sound format currently in use, and
quality HDTV capable component video switching, and the company's Powered Zone 2
capability, the TX-NR901 is one of the most versatile and powerful entertainment
system centerpieces available today.
 The
TX-NR901 includes onboard processing for THX Surround EX 7.1, Dolby
Digital EX and Dolby ProLogic II, DTS-ES, DTS Neo:6, and DTS 96/24 surround
sound formats. High quality 192 kHz/24-bit Linear PCM D/A converters are used
for digital processing on all channels except the rear surrounds, and the
company's exclusive Wide Rage Amplifier Technology (WRAT) provides clean, linear
power with an extended frequency response of 10 Hz - 100 kHz. For analog
sources, the receiver
features Onkyo's Pure Audio function, which bypasses all digital processing to
preserve the purity of analog audio signals.
The TX-NR901 includes an elegant new aluminum-face universal/learning remote
control with an LCD display screen, Jog dial for menu easy navigation, and the
ability to control every component in a full home theater system. The remote is
capable of RF transmission, and when combined with Onkyo's optionally available
RFR-6, can control components at a much greater range, and even through walls
and cabinetry.
Onkyo's exclusive Net-Tune capability uses a standard TCP/IP Ethernet connection
to unite the receiver with MP3 and Windows Media Audio (WMA) files stored on a
home PC, or to play Internet radio streams via a networked broadband Internet
connection. The receiver's on-screen display shows song title, artist, album,
genre, and playlist
information, making the entire family's music collection easy to store and
access, without the clutter of CDs and their cases. Not even a CD jukebox can
hold so much music, and deliver it so quickly and easily.
As the centerpiece of a complete digital entertainment network, the TX-NR901
features a broad suite of connectivity options and features. HDTV capable 50 MHz
component video switching, and conversion of both Composite and S-Video signals
to component video simplifies connection to a TV or projector, eliminating the
need for redundant multiple video connections. There are a total of eight
digital inputs, including one on the front panel, and two digital outputs, as
well as full 7.1-channel pre-outs for use with additional external
amplification.
There is also a wide array of multizone features, such as Onkyo's Powered Zone 2
that provides the ability to drive a set of stereo speakers in another room
using the rear surround channel amplifiers, or using an external power
amplifier. An On-Screen display provides control of all settings as well as
access to network digital media
playlists.
The Onkyo TX-NR901 is currently available at a suggested retail price of $1,500.
