Specifications:

If you’re looking for a budget-friendly A/V receiver that offers versatile connectivity and compatibility with the latest processing technology, Onkyo’s TX-SR507 has you covered. With four HDMI 1.3a inputs, it can accept up to four high-definition sources—from Blu-ray Disc to HD broadcasting to high-def games—and output them to your compatible HDTV. HDMI 1.3a also enables you to enjoy the pristine “lossless” audio of Dolby® TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio™, as well as secondary audio on Blu-ray Disc via DTS-HD Express. The TX-SR507 comes with a suite of Audyssey surround-sound technologies to help tailor audio output to the unique dimensions of your entertainment space. Meanwhile, a new universal port makes it easy to incorporate an optional Onkyo Dock for the iPod or Onkyo DAB+ radio tuner into your system. With all this, plus four high-impact Game Modes and the ability to send different audio to two rooms simultaneously, the TX-SR507 puts a huge amount of entertainment potential at your fingertips.

Features

1080p Video and High-Def Surround Sound via HDMI 1.3a

Incorporating HDMI version 1.3a, along with advanced processing capabilities, the TX-SR507 makes for a powerful A/V control centre. Up to four components can be connected via HDMI, including Blu-ray Disc players, gaming consoles, and set-top boxes. The TX-SR507 can receive and switch high-def media, such as HD broadcasts and Blu-ray Discs, and send a pure digital output to your HDTV. What’s more, all multichannel audio—from bit-for-bit streams to standard Dolby® Digital—can be input via HDMI for processing on the TX-SR507. HDMI version 1.3a enables CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) and offers greater bandwidth to deal with higher resolutions, 36-bit Deep Colour™, and high frame rates.

A Suite of Audyssey Technologies for the Ideal Listening Environment

The TX-SR507 has three Audyssey technologies to help create the most suitable listening environment for your home.

(1) Audyssey 2EQ™ for Room Acoustic Correction The TX-SR507 uses Audyssey 2EQ to counter distortion created by walls, furniture, and other objects. This technology detects speaker distance, and then sets levels, delays, and crossovers, while also measuring room acoustics. Compared to one-position room correction systems, Audyssey 2EQ covers a much wider listening area. Moreover, it corrects problems in both frequency response and time domain (where most of the problems lie) across the entire listening area. The results are immediately obvious—a clear, well-balanced, and natural sound.

(2) Audyssey Dynamic Volume™ This technology allows you to set the volume level that you want and keep it there, without having to constantly adjust it. By anticipating sudden spikes and dips in the audio soundtrack and compensating for them in real time, Audyssey Dynamic Volume ensures consistent volume levels, regardless of the content you’re enjoying. Thanks to Audyssey Dynamic Volume, quiet dialogue is easier to pick up, loud passages retain their impact, and commercials are less intrusive.

(3) Audyssey Dynamic EQ™ for Loudness Correction In professional sound studios, music and movies are recorded at reference levels far louder than what is typical for home listening. As a result, when you play audio content at a low volume on a standard home theatre receiver, the bass disappears, voices change in timbre, and the surround soundstage loses definition. To counteract this audio deterioration, Audyssey Dynamic EQ continuously adjusts frequency response and surround levels to produce the ideal balance for a given volume level.

*HDMI version 1.3a supports Deep Colour™, x.v.Colour™, LipSync,
  Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio, DVD-Audio, Super Audio CD, and CEC.

Universal Port for Single-Cable Connection of Optional Onkyo Dock for the iPod or DAB+ Radio Tuner

The TX-SR507 features a proprietary universal port, located on the rear side of the unit, to which you can connect Onkyo’s DAB+ radio tuner or Dock for the iPod. The dock sends both video and audio signals through a single cable. Earlier versions of Onkyo’s Dock for the iPod can be connected via our Remote Interactive (RI) system.

Music Optimizer™ and Convenient Front-Panel Audio Input for Portable Devices

An audio input on the front panel of the TX-SR507 enables you to connect your iPod or other MP3 player directly to the system. The TX-SR507’s onboard Music Optimizer technology then works to enhance the quality of your compressed digital music files by compensating for bit information lost at higher frequencies.

Four Game Modes for More Thrilling Action

A new addition to Onkyo home theatre, these four gaming modes creates an experience with more realism and impact. You can select from Rock, Sports, Action, or Role Playing Game (RPG) modes to match your gaming content.

Playback of Different Audio Sources in Two Different Zones

With Powered Zone 2 and a Zone 2 line-out, you can enjoy stereo sound in the main room while you play back a completely different stereo source in a second zone equipped with an amplifier or a pair of speakers.
