If you're looking to pump high-definition DVD playback into your HD displays or projectors, the HT-SR800 will do the job. It has a high-bandwidth processor capable of transferring 720p/1080i and 1080p through the HDMI output. HDMI supports standard, enhanced, or high-definition video, plus multi-channel digital audio on a single cable.
Exceptional Digital Surround-Sound
The HT-SR800 offers built-in Dolby Pro Logic IIx, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital EX, DTS, DTS-ES, DTS Neo:6, and DTS 96/24 decoders capable of advanced 24-bit processing, and an outstanding frequency response of 20Hz - 20KHz. The dynamic range of the HT-SR800 system is so well balanced and matched, that the center, front and rear channels blend effortlessly into a surreal home theater experience.
Wide Range Amplifier Technology (WRAT)
It's the Wide Range Amplifier Technology (WRAT) that will fill your room with noise-free, impressively powerful, true-to-life sound. With a broader frequency range and lower harmonic noise entering the signal path, the HT-SR800 is perfectly suited for new high resolution DVD-Audio and SACD formats.
CinemaFILTER Technology
Onkyo's proprietary CinemaFILTER restores the correct tonal balance to movie soundtracks that can otherwise play to edgy and bright over home audio equipment since it's designed for large theaters.
Optimum Gain Volume Circuitry
The receiver has the ability to adjust the gain allowing for less noise contamination especially at lower volumes.
AUDYSSEY 2EQ Processing
For enhanced room acoustics, Onkyo's AUDYSSEY 2EQ technology is included with the HT-SR800. AUDYSSEY 2EQ is designed to work with home theater systems to create a larger, fuller listening area without distorting the sound.
XM and Sirius Satellite Ready
Simply plug an XM Passport System into the HT-SR800's XM-Ready A/V receiver, and activate the service to start receiving uninterrupted radio programming of your choice. Now, in conjunction with Neural Surround, XM Satellite Radio offers XM HD Surround, which provides 5.1-channel surround sound on selected programming.
Remote Interactive (RI) Interface
Remote Interactive (RI) capability enables you to simply connect your iPod to your receiver through Onkyo's RI Dock option for the iPod (DS-A2). Your iPod effectively becomes another Onkyo component flowing through the HT-SR800.
HD Component and Digital Audio
With playback specifications that meet the standards of professionals, the HT-SR800 features HD component video inputs/output for high-resolution low-distortion video playback, and 4 digital audio inputs for high quality audio reproduction.
7.1-Channel Speaker System
