Onkyo's TX-NR1009 receiver into your home and whole new worlds of entertainment will burst forth. Blu-ray movies, HDTV programs, and video games propel you to new places with clear, digital sound to match the pristine images on-screen. The muscle behind the 'NR1009 is nine channels of amplification, rated at 135 watts each. And its state-of-the-art audio and video processors team up to engulf you in the sights and sounds of your favorite sci-fi action flicks, crime dramas, or live music concerts. But then, that's just the 'NR1009 getting started.
Music from your iPod®, the Internet, and more
The front-panel USB input beckons to your iPod. This direct digital connection doesn't just charge your player's battery — it supercharges your music. The 'NR1009's built-in digital-to-analog converters combine with their advanced Music Optimizer to return the "flavors" of the music that may have been lost in compression. Connect the receiver to your home network via its Ethernet port and you can enjoy music stored on your PC through your full-fledged, high-performance audio system, instead of a pair of pint-sized computer speakers. Plus you can also enjoy thousands of Internet radio stations — or let PANDORA® Internet radio create a set of customized "stations" based on your own tastes. Or add Onkyo's HD Radio tuner to listen to the free digital over-the-air programming that many AM and FM stations now broadcast.
DTS Neo:X™ improves surround sound realism
The Onkyo 'NR1009 is the first receiver ever with DTS Neo:X technology. It lets you use the receiver's nine channels of power to hook up the traditional five speakers of a home theater setup, plus a pair of "front height" speakers and a pair of "front width" speakers. All those extra channels of sound create a fully engulfing 3D audio experience. You'll hear sounds like helicopters taking off with the crescendo of the rotors rising from the ground to the sky, then fading to a distant flank.
THX ensures state-of-the-art home theater performance
Lucasfilm Ltd.'s THX Select2 Plus certification delivers guaranteed home theater excellence. THX Certified receivers reproduce studio reference levels tailored to your room. Put simply, you will hear music and movie soundtracks free from distortion, just as the artists and recording engineers originally created them. Exclusive THX Plus listening modes keep surround effects detailed and accurate, even at lower listening levels.
The end of the "seat war" saga
In days of yore, you could expect a home theater system to sound just right in a single, "sweet-spot" in the room. The conflict over the best seat in the house is now settled with everyone the winner, thanks to Audyssey MultEQ® XT. This sophisticated system uses an included microphone to analyze sound from up to eight different listening positions, then automatically adjusts level, equalization, and delay settings for each of your speakers. You get precise response across a wide listening area instead of just a single sweet spot, so everyone will enjoy clear, well-balanced surround sound.
We heard something new
Onkyo recently announced that the Spotify® streaming service is now available on this receiver, along with several others in Onkyo's 2011 line. We decided to try it out. Our Onkyo receiver's on-screen display showed our Spotify Premium play lists, including our synced iTunes® library. We were able to search for more music via the receiver remote and virtual keyboard. Spotify is a cloud-based service with a music library of over 15 million songs that has only recently become available in the U.S.
You will need to download a free firmware upgrade. Go to Onkyo's website for instructions. Requires a wireless home network. Receiver requires wired connection to the router. Works only with Spotify premium service. Subscription fees apply. Broadband service required.
