The Onkyo HT-S8409 Home Theater System offers a solid foundation for any home theater enthusiast in an affordable package. This versatile networking A/V receiver features HD Blu-ray compatibility as well as other disc-based games and music, and even lets you stream audio content from the internet or your PC.
You'll find an array of connections for both legacy components and six advanced HDMI 1.4a inputs for convenience. These support 3D content, audio return channel and 4K upscaling with a video chip from Marvell Qdeo.
With its two mighty tower speakers, the HT-S8409 stands apart from other home theater package systems. These two-way tall-boys work in concert with the other high-quality speakers to express the full scope and power of your music and other entertainment. The HT-S8409 supports digital decoding of advanced lossless Dolby and DTS formats Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio as well as Audyssey DSX and Dolby Pro Logic IIZ to add additional dimension to your surround sound experience.
With WRAT technology, clean audio is ensured thanks to a powerful amplifier design. On the receiver's front-side, a USB input enables digital connection of flash memory devices such as iPod/iPhone, while analog A/V inputs let you hook up a camcorder or game console just like that. All of this high-performance functionality is surprisingly easy to set up and control, thanks to Audyssey room-correction and equalization, and Onkyo's interactive on-screen menus.
Commanding your new receiver is seamless with the user-friendly GUI and on-screen display so you can make adjustments easily. Housed in a sturdy chassis with a solid aluminum front, this receiver packs a sophisticated presence in any setup.

Comments about Onkyo HT-S8409 Home Theater System:
I was familar with Onkyo products so the 8409 Home Theater was an easy purchase. Set up was quick and easy thanks to everything being color coded. Took me awhile to program the remote to be the "master" remote for other componets but it works great. Would definitely recommend this system.
