Onkyo TX-NR906 THX® Ultra2 Plus home theater receiver with HDMI switching and upconversion

Here's one of the most versatile home theater receivers we've seen. The TX-NR906 delivers 145 watts per channel of high-current, low-impedance power, built on a foundation of rock-solid Onkyo construction. You get exclusive THX Ultra2 Plus surround sound enhancements to ensure detailed and accurate surround effects, even at lower listening levels. Built-in decoding for Dolby® TrueHD and DTS-HD™ Master Audio lets you take advantage of the high-resolution soundtracks found on many newer Blu-ray players and discs. You'll also enjoy a host of entertainment options, including PC music, Internet radio, and flexible multi-room audio/video possibilities.

Music from your PC network plus other digital entertainment options
Connect this receiver to your wired home computer network to access music files stored on a PC and listen to Internet radio stations via your broadband connection. The front-panel USB input lets you plug in a compatible MP3 player or USB flash drive loaded with your favorite tunes. Plus, you get a built-in HD Radio™ tuner that lets you listen to the free, over-the-air digital programming that many AM and FM stations now broadcast.

Connections for your best high-def video sources
The 'NR906 boasts some of the most extensive video capabilities you can find in a home theater receiver today. It will accept up to four high-def digital video signals at resolutions up to 1080p via its HDMI inputs. This allows you to hook up your HDMI sources and switch easily among them while maintaining pristine digital signal quality. Two HDMI outputs offer great convenience to anyone with two HDTVs, or an HDTV and a high-def projector.

1080p video upconversion
Onkyo also outfitted this receiver with Silicon Optix's acclaimed Reon-VX HQV™ video processing chip. This sophisticated technology provides cutting-edge video scaling and deinterlacing — including digital upconversion of all your video sources to an HDMI signal with up to 1080p resolution. You'll see improved detail and smoother playback from your video gear, and enjoy the convenience of a single-cable digital connection to your TV.

Precision auto setup tailors sound to your room
For the most accurate home theater sound possible, Onkyo included Audyssey MultEQ® XT, a sophisticated automatic speaker calibration system. The 'NR906 uses the 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 in the room can enjoy optimized home theater sound.

Multi-room audio/video
The 'NR906's three-room/three-source output offers especially flexible listening and viewing options for the whole family. You can watch the game in the living room while your kids enjoy a movie in the den, and your spouse listens to stereo music out on the deck. For custom-tailored help using the TX-NR906 in a multi-room system, call Crutchfield's Audio/Video Designers.
