components, such as a massive transformer and custom capacitors that provide
high instantaneous current for lightning-fast transient response and a frequency
range that extends down to 5 Hz. Discrete amp circuits prevent phase shifting,
clearly focusing the audio image and cutting distortion even at extreme volume
levels. The RZ series amplifier delivers a significant boost to the dynamics,
detail, and accuracy of music and movie soundtracks for a listening experience
that packs a stunning emotional impact. The RZ series are backed by a 3 year parts
& labor warranty.
Dynamic Audio Amplification: The TX-RZ1100 AV
receiver features Onkyo's Dynamic Audio Amplification with a 9-channel
amplifier rated at 140 watts (into 8-ohms, at 20Hz-20kHz, with 0.08%,
driving 2 channels). Onkyo's new Dynamic Audio Amplification technology
incorporates a Hi-Current amplifier design w/ discrete output stage
circuitry, WRAT (Wide Range Amp Technology), H.C.P.S (High Current Power
Supply), separate block construction, and Optimum Gain Volume Circuitry
for dynamic, detailed, and clear sound.
- Hi-Current Amp Design: The unique elements of Onkyo's
Dynamic Audio Amplification system comprise high-current, low-impedance
architecture with discrete output stage circuitry & custom 15,000μF audio
capacitors for instantaneous high-current power and precisely control of
your loudspeakers for dynamic, accurate sound.
- Wide Range Amp Technology (WRAT): Onkyo's Wide Range
Amp Technology (WRAT) circuit layout prevents phase shifting by pushing the
roll-off point higher than the listening-level frequency. Amplifying sound
without phase shift creates an uncommonly well-focused and realistic audio
image.
- H.C.P.S. (High Current Power Supply): Under the
anti-resonant cover of any Onkyo receiver, you'll instantly notice the High
Current Power Supply (H.C.P.S.) transformer. With its huge, isolated power
supply design and high-capacity filter capacitors, it delivers the large
amounts of power necessary for reproducing the wide dynamics of movie
soundtracks and the detail and clarity of your music.
- High-Quality Construction: The AV receiver employs a
separate analog amp and digital processing block construction to reduce
interference. Copper bus bars and rigid insulators are used to further
reduce signal interference. An aluminum front-panel & volume control aid in
the receiver's anti-resonance.
- Optimum Gain Volume Circuitry: Optimum Gain Volume
Circuitry adjusts the gain so that less than half the amount of attenuation
is needed, ensuring the signal never comes close to the noise floor. This
protects the signal against noise, resulting in a dramatically clearer
sound.
Amplifier Assignment: The 9-channel amplifier can be
configured in a variety of ways to match your type of speaker setup.
- 9-Channel + 2ch Pre-Out: Assigns all nine internal
amplifiers to the receiver's main zone to power the Front, Center, Surround,
Surround Back speaker, and Height speakers while an external amplifier (sold
separately) is used to power Height 2 speakers. Use this amplifier
assignment to create a 11.1ch or 7.1.4ch surround system.
- 9-Channel Normal: Assigns all nine internal amplifiers
to the receiver's main zone to power the Front, Center, Surround, Surround
Back speaker, and Height speakers. Use this amplifier assignment to create a
9.1ch, 7.1.2ch, or 5.1.4ch surround system.
- 7-Channel Bi-Amp: Assigns all nine amplifiers of the
receiver to the Main Zone with the front speakers bi-amped. The 7ch speaker
system will consist of Front, Center, Surround, and Surround Back or Height
speakers. Use this amplifier assignment to create a 7.1ch or 5.1.2ch
surround system.
- 7-Channel + Zone 2: The nine amplifier channels of the
receiver are assigned to power a 7ch speaker system in the main zone and
stereo speakers in Zone 2. The 7ch speaker system in the main zone will
consist of Front, Center, Surround, and Surround Back (or Height); while
Zone 2 consists of stereo speakers. Use this amplifier assignment to create
a 7.1ch or 5.1.2ch surround system in the main zone and 2ch stereo in Zone
2.
- 5-Channel Bi-Amp + Zone 2: Assigns seven amplifiers of
the receiver to the Main Zone with the front speakers bi-amped, while two
other amplifier channels are assigned to Zone 2. The 5ch speaker system in
the main zone will consist of Front, Center, and Surround speakers; while
Zone consists of stereo speakers. Use this amplifier assignment to create a
5.1ch surround system in the main zone and 2ch stereo in Zone 2.
- 5-Channel + Zone 2 & 3: The nine amplifier
channels of the receiver are assigned to power a 5ch speaker system in the
main zone and stereo speakers in Zone 2 and Zone 3. The 5ch speaker system
in the main zone will consist of Front, Center, and Surround speakers; while
Zone 2 and Zone 3 each consist of stereo speakers. Use this amplifier
assignment to create a 5.1ch surround system in the main zone with 2ch
stereo in Zone 2 and Zone 3.
Dual 32-Bit DSP Engines: The Onkyo TX-RZ1100 AV receiver employs powerful
and highly accurate 32-bit DSP (Digital Signal Processor) engines for better
surround sound reproduction.
384kHz/32-Bit Hi-Grade DAC: The Onkyo TX-RZ1100 utilizes one
premium-quality AK4458 digital-to-analog converter from Asahi Kasei for all
channels. This 384kHz/32-bit DAC implements unique low-distortion filtering
technologies for clear sound, and unlocks the full potential of any audio
format, including compressed, lossless, and hi-res audio (MP3, WMA, WMA
Lossless, FLAC, WAV, OggVorbis, AAC, Apple Lossless, DSD 5.6 MHz, LPCM, and
Dolby TrueHD). The TX-RZ1100 offers additional DAC signal processing to make sure
your movie & music soundtracks sound their best.
- Vector Linear Shaping Circuitry (All Channels):
Onkyo developed Vector Linear Shaping Circuitry (VLSC) to reassemble the
signal in its original form following processing. Unlike conventional
filters, VLSC removes pulse noise generated in D/A conversion, allowing the
sound wave to be reproduced with extremely high fidelity for a smooth analog
signal. The signal's data is converted between sampling points and joined
with analog vectors in real time to produce a smooth output wave form. The
result is a virtually noiseless, smooth, analog signal that brings out even
the most subtle of nuances in music sources.
- PLL Jitter-Cleaning Circuit Technology: PLL (Phase
Locked Loop) jitter-cleaning circuit technology reduces jitter by comparing
the input and output phases of the digital signal and creating an accurate
clock waveform. This enhances the precision of digital signal processing and
noticeably improves audio quality. Jitter-cleaning technology works both for
digital signals input via HDMI and for digital signals converted from analog
signals inside the receiver itself
THX Select 2 Plus Certified: The TX-RZ1100 AV receiver is
THX Select 2 Plus certified. Founded by George Lucas, THX develops stringent
standards that ensure movies are reproduced in movie theaters and home theaters
just as the director intended. From early design concepts to product rollout,
THX works with its manufacturing partners at each step of product development.
Every detail is meticulously mapped to the THX performance standards. And THX
engineers spend countless hours testing and analyzing each product for sound
quality, usability and interoperability. The result of this collaborative
process is a THX Certified receiver, amplifier or pre-amplifier designed from
the ground-up to present your favorite movies, music, and games in 5.1ch to
7.1ch surround sound loud and clear at studio reference volumes. THX Select 2
Plus is specified for rooms where the screen-to-seat viewing distance is 10-12'
and the room volume is 3,000 cubic feet or greater. Additional features of THX
Select 2 Plus certification includes:
- THX Re-EQ: The speakers for the front channel are installed behind
the screen in a movie theater. For this reason the high range is enhanced in
the front channel of the sound track to take account of acoustic
characteristics such as the necessity to penetrate the screen. Re-EQ adjusts
soundtrack with enhanced high range to make it suitable for home theater.
- Timbre Matching: The human ear changes our perception
of a sound depending on the direction from which the sound is coming. In a
movie theater, there is an array of surround speakers so that the surround
information is all around you. In a home theater, you may only have two
speakers located to the side of your head. In this case, the Timbre Matching
feature filters the information going to the surround speakers so that they
more closely match the tonal characteristics of the sound coming from the
front speakers. This ensures seamless panning between the front and surround speakers.
- Adaptive Decorrelation: In a movie theater, a large
number of surround speakers help create an enveloping surround sound
experience. If a home theater only has two sidewall surround speakers, the
surround speakers may sound similar to headphones lacking spaciousness and
envelopment. Surround sounds will also collapse toward the closet speaker as
you move away from the middle seating position. Adaptive Decorrelation
slightly changes one surround channel's time and phase relationship with
respect to the other surround experience as in a movie theater using only
two speakers.
- Advanced Speaker Array: ASA is a proprietary THX
technology which processes the audio on the two side and two back surround
speakers for the optional surround sound experience. When you set up your
home theater system using eight speaker outputs (Front Left, Center, Front
Right, Surround Right, Surround Back Right, Surround Back Left, Surround
Left, and Subwoofer), be sure to go to the THX Audio Setup screen and choose
the setting that closely corresponds to the back speaker spacing. This will
reoptimize the surround sound field. ASA is used in three modes: -THX
Select2 Cinema, THX Select2 Music and THX Select2 Games.
- THX Surround EX: THX Surround EX is a joint development
between Dolby Laboratories and THX Ltd. The THX Surround EX mode further
expands 5.1ch movie soundtrack to 7.1ch playback.
- THX Loudness Plus: THX Loudness Plus compensates for
the tonal and spatial shifts that occur when the volume is reduced by
intelligently adjusting ambient surround channel levels and frequency
response. With THX Loudness Plus, home theater audiences can experience the
rich details in a surround mix at any volume level.
- Boundary Gain Compensation: If your listening room
layout (for practical or aesthetic reasons) locates most of the listeners
close to the rear wall, the resulting bass level can be sufficiently
reinforced by the boundary that the overall sound becomes "boomy". THX
Select2 Plus receivers contain a Boundary Gain Compensation (BGC) feature to
improve bass balance.
AccuEQ w/ AccuReflex: AccuEQ conducts two measurements: (1) it measures and sets the distance,
sound pressure level and crossover of your speakers and subwoofer to ensure all
channels are treated equally (2) it evaluates your room's sonic characteristics
and adjusts your speaker's frequency response to prevent standing waves from
forming. AccuEQ incorporates AccuReflex technology to align the phase of
upfiring "height" speakers with the sound coming directly from your other
speakers. Any delay is resolved so that everything arrives at your ears at the
same time. The result is cohesive reproduction of object-based soundtracks. You
can save up to 3 AccuEQ presets. The included microphone plugs into the
front-panel of the receiver.
Note: You can choose bypass the AccuEQ for your front speakers or
all speakers, and manually set the distance, crossover, EQ, and level of
each speaker.

Dolby Atmos, sound comes alive from all directions, including overhead,
to fill the home theater with astonishing clarity, power, detail, and depth.
The Onkyo receiver has the processing power to run a more enveloping 7ch,
9ch or 11ch channel Dolby Atmos layout utilizing ceiling mounted or Dolby
Atmos-enabled speakers (sold separately). Choose from a 5.1.2ch, 5.1.4ch,
7.1.2ch, or *7.1.4ch Dolby Atmos configuration
- A 5.1.2 configuration is based on a traditional 5.1 speaker layout
complemented by 2 overhead or Dolby Atmos-enabled speakers.
- A 5.1.4 configuration is based on a traditional 5.1 speaker layout
complemented by 4 overhead or Dolby Atmos-enabled speakers.
- A 7.1.2 configuration is based on a more advanced 7.1 speaker layout
complemented by 2 overhead or Dolby Atmos-enabled speakers.
- A *7.1.4 configuration is based on a more advanced 7.1 speaker
layout complemented by 4 overhead, or Dolby Atmos-enabled speakers (*two
of the speakers must be powered by an external 2ch amp).
- DTS:X (via future firmware update): DTS:X will be
enabled through an online firmware update coming later this year.
DTS:X is the next generation object-based, multi-dimensional audio
technology from DTS. Unbound from channels, DTS:X conveys the fluid movement
of sound to create an incredibly rich, realistic and immersive soundscape -
in front of, behind, beside and above the audience - more accurately than
ever before. DTS:X offers the ability to automatically adapt the audio to
the speaker layout that best fits your space.
Post Decoding Formats: The Onkyo AV receiver supports Dolby
Surround, DTS Neural:X, and DTS Neo:6 (Music/Cinema) to enhance 2-channel and
multichannel decoding formats.
- Dolby Surround: Dolby Surround offers an enhanced cinema experience to your 2ch or
multichannel movie soundtracks using your existing 5.1ch, 7.1ch or Dolby
Atmos speaker setup. Dolby Surround enhances audio definition by improving
the spatial dimension and overall audio definition of movie soundtracks. It
does this by using four distinct surround zones that provide greater control
over the exact placement of each detail in a movie sound track, so audio can
be matched more accurately to the video on screen; this means more depth and
greater realism for your movies. As a result, individual sounds are clearer
and more distinct. It also improves the surround sound experience across the
entire theater by widening the listening "sweet spot".
- DTS Neural:X (via future firmware update): DTS Neural:X
will be enabled through an online firmware update coming later this year. DTS:X incorporates Neural:X, the latest spatial remapping
technology from DTS, which provides a fully immersive output for all types
of source content; this includes DTS bitstreams and non-encoded (PCM) data.
Neural:X delivers a thrilling sense of immersive sound to your speaker
layout regardless of the original source format.
- DTS Neo:6: DTS Neo:6 is an advanced matrix decoder that
takes any two-channel source (including television broadcasts, CDs and DVDs)
and expands it into five or six channels. It also provides separate,
optimized modes for stereo music materials and matrix surround motion
picture soundtracks. DTS Neo:6 brings you a more revealing sound from
ordinary stereo and a more expansive home cinema experience.
Onkyo Original DSP Modes: Onkyo's Original DSP Modes,
combined with Dolby Digital & DTS processing, produce more realistic, powerful
sound effects for your movie and music sound tracks based on the type of content
and your home theater setup. You can choose from the following:
- Orchestra: For classical or operatic music.
- Unplugged: For acoustic instruments, vocals, and jazz.
- Studio-Mix: Suitable for rock or pop.
- TV Logic: Adds realistic acoustics to TV shows.
- Game: The receiver offers four different Gaming modes -
RPG, Action, Rock, and Sports.
- All Ch Stereo: Stereo sound from all speakers. Ideal
for background music.
- Full Mono: All speakers output the same sound in mono.
- Theater-Dimensional (T-D): Theater-Dimensional
circuitry takes the complexity out of conventional surround-sound setups and
lets you experience the excitement of surround sound from as few as two
ordinary speakers. Theater-Dimensional's unique multi-speaker modes let you
place up to five speakers conveniently by the TV, for the most realistic
virtual-surround sound possible.
Audiophile Listening Modes: The Onkyo TX-RZ1100 offers two
audiophile listening modes which bypass the receiver's tone & DSP processing for
higher sound quality performance. In Direct mode, audio from the input source is
output without surround-sound processing. This mode delivers pure sound with
minimum sound quality adjustment and filtration. In Pure Audio mode, the display
and video circuitry are turned off, minimizing possible noise sources for the
ultimate in high-fidelity audio reproduction.
Audio Enhancements: The Onkyo TX-RZ1100 receiver provides
various audio enhancements to deliver a high-quality listening experience every
time.
- CinemaFilter: The CinemaFilter softens overly
bright movie soundtracks. Movie soundtracks are typically mixed for a large
theater (relative to your home theater) with lots of soft seats and thick
curtains on the walls. Home theater settings often lack these high frequency
absorbing wall treatments, making the soundtrack sound too bright.
CinemaFilter accounts for this and for many movies sounds more natural at
home.
- Music Optimizer: The Music Optimizer function enhances
the sound quality of compressed music files. The Music Optimizer function
only works with PCM digital audio input signals with a sampling rate below
48kHz, analog input signals, and Bluetooth audio.
- Late Night Feature: The Late Night feature limits the
dynamic range of Dolby Digital recordings. Limiting the dynamic range makes
it easier to find a volume that ensures the quiet sounds are not too quiet
and the loud sounds are not too loud for night time listening. This allows
you to comfortably listen to without the need to constantly adjust the
volume to keep from waking family/neighbors. The choices are: Off, Low, and
High. This feature only works with Dolby Digital Encoded software and the
depth of the feature will vary based on the individual software package.
Bass Management: The Onkyo AV receiver offers Tone Control, Phase Matching Bass technology,
and a Double Bass feature to get the most bass impact out of your
system.
- Tone Controls: You can independently adjust the Bass
(90Hz) and Treble (7.5kHz) of the receiver's Front L/R channels from -10 to
+10 dB.
- Phase Matching Bass: Onkyo's Phase-Matching Bass
optimizes low frequencies while preserving mid-range clarity. This means
that powerful bass plays back with clear vocals; it doesn't overpower them.
- Double Bass: You can also activate the Double Bass
function in order to boost bass output even more by feeding bass sounds to
the front left/right speakers, center-channel, and powered subwoofer.
Volume Setup: The Onkyo AV receiver provides the following
volume settings.
- IntelliVolume: With IntelliVolume, you can set the
input level for each input (+/-12dB) selector individually. This is useful
if one of your source components is louder or quieter than the others. This
function does not work in Zone 2.
- Maximum Volume: Use this feature to set the receiver's
maximum volume level. This feature is useful to avoid turning the volume too
loud by mistake. You can set the Max Volume from 30-79 (max), or Off
(disabled).
- Power On Volume: Use this feature to set the volume
level when the power is turned on. You can choose between Last (same as the
volume when the unit was turned off), Min (0), or 1-79.
- Mute Level: Set the volume lowered from the listening volume when
"Mute" is selected. Choose from 0, -40dB, or -20 dB.
- Headphone Level: With this setting, you can specify the
headphone volume (+/-12dB) relative to the main volume. This is useful if
there's a volume difference between your speakers and your headphones.
Phono Input: The Onkyo AV receiver is fitted with a Phono
(MM) input and ground terminal for connection of a turntable, so you can enjoy
listening to your vinyl records.
Analog Audio Outputs: The Onkyo TX-RZ1100 is outfitted with the
following analog audio outputs.
- Binding-Post Speaker Terminals: There are binding-post
terminals for all speaker connections - Front, Center, Surround, Surround
Back, & Heights. The binding post terminals will accept
bare-wire, pin-connectors, and banana plugs (single only). Use 4- to 16-ohm
speakers.
- 11.2ch Pre-Outs: The Onkyo TX-RZ1100 features 11.2ch
pre-outs (Front, Center, Surround, Surround Back, Height 1, Height 2, and
Dual Subwoofer) for connection of an external power amplifier. The pre-outs
are variable. The dual sub outputs are discrete.
- Headphones: When headphones are plugged into the
full-size 1/4" jack on the front panel, all the speakers are automatically
muted.
Video Features
HDMI 2.0a: The Onkyo TX-RZ1100 has eight HDMI 2.0a inputs (7
rear/1 front) and dual HDMI 2.0a outputs. The dual HDMI outputs can
simultaneously output the same audio/video signal to two TVs, or you can assign
the second HDMI output to Zone 2 to display a different HDMI source in another
room (video is output at the resolution supported by both TVs). Thanks to the latest HDMI 2.0a specification, the receiver
can support 4K/60 Hz Ultra-HD video, HDCP 2.2 compatibility, 4:4:4 color
sub-sampling, High Dynamic Range (HDR), and BT.2020 Wide Color Gamut.
- 4K/60Hz: The TX-RZ1100 supports up to 4K (3840x2160
pixels) video @ 60 frames per second on
all of its HDMI inputs and outputs. It will also pass a 480i, 480p, 720p,
1080i, or 1080p video signals via HDMI
- HDCP 2.2: The receivers HDMI 1-5 inputs and both HDMI
monitor outputs support HDCP
2.2, which fully complies with the latest copyright protection standard for
4K video transmission.
- 4:4:4 Color Subsampling: The receiver's
HDMI 1-5 inputs and both HDMI monitor outputs support RGB, YCbCr 4:4:4, YCbCr 4:2:2, and YCbCr 4:2:0
color subsampling (@ 60Hz or 50Hz). With 4:4:4 color subsampling, luminance
(brightness) and chroma (color) are sampled at the same rate; resulting in
an RGB color palette as big as the video sampling rate for a video image
with more colors, plus greater color accuracy and detail. HDMI inputs 6-8
only support 4K 60/50Hz @ YCbCr 4:2:0.
- HDR (High Dynamic Range): HDR provides enhanced picture
quality by simultaneously enabling greater detail for both the dark and
bright parts of an image. HDR reproduces a greater dynamic range of
luminosity or brightness levels, creating greater contrast. This increased
contrast reveals the subtle nuances of the image, from detailed blacks and
shadows to the brightest whites and colors, plus greater depth.
- Wide Color Gamut (BT.2020): The BT.2020 color standard
delivers a much wider color gamut and represents about 75% of the total
visual color spectrum, while the current Rec. 709 color standard selected as
the color space for HDTVs and early generation 4K Ultra HDTVs covers only
35% of the total visual color spectrum.
Note: Use a premium high-speed 18Gbps HDMI cable for the best
4K/HDR performance.
HDMI Upscaling & Conversion: The Onkyo TX-RZ1100 AV receiver can
affectively upscale 1080p HDMI video to stunning 4K Ultra-HD through its main
HDMI monitor output.
Analog composite and component video signals (480i only) input to the receiver
will be converted to HDMI signals and then output from the receiver via its main HDMI
monitor output to your TV. The
resolution remains the same and is not upscaled.
Other HDMI Features: The TX-RZ1100 AV receiver's HDMI
connectivity also offers 3D video pass-through, ARC (Audio Return Channel), Deep
Color & x.v. Color support, as well as an auto LipSync function.

3D-ready Blu-ray player and output the video signal in 3D to your 3D-ready
flat-panel television.
- ARC (Audio Return Channel): The receiver's main HDMI output
features ARC (Audio Return Channel). This feature allows audio to be sent
from your compatible HDTV to your receiver through the same HDMI cable
already being used to send audio and video to your HDTV. This eliminates the
need for extra cables connected to your television. The sub HDMI monitor
output does not support this feature.
- Deep Color & x.v.Color Support: The AV receiver
supports Deep Color and x.v.Color content, which can display a larger color
range than standard-definition schemes. The result is a more lifelike,
vibrant picture
- Auto Lip-Sync: The Lip-Sync function can automatically
synchronize HDMI audio and video (for any HDMI jack) that has gotten out of
sync due to the complex digital video processing being performed by your
HDMI-compatible TV. With HDMI Lip-Sync, the audio delay required to
synchronize the audio and video is calculated and applied automatically by
the AV receiver. You can also manually correct the audio delay from 0 (no
delay) to 400 milliseconds; in 10 millisecond steps.
HDMI Through: When enabling the HDMI Through function,
regardless of whether the AV receiver is "O" or in "Standby", both audio/video
streams from an HDMI input will be output to your television, via the receiver
HDMI monitor output. You can select between three HDMI Through modes.
- Auto: Detects the signal and automatically selects the
input sources.
- Source: Selects the HDMI input source for which the
HDMI Through function in enabled.
- Last: The HDMI Through function is activated on the
input source selected at the time of setting the AV receiver to the
"standby" mode.
Analog Video Inputs: The receiver features two composite
video inputs, two component video inputs, and one component video monitor output.
The composite video input supports 480i only and can be output to your TV via
the receiver's HDMI monitor output (no scaling). The component video input and
monitor output support up to 1080i video. Only 480i component video signals can
be upconverted to HDMI (no scaling).
Video Select: It is possible to play audio and video from
different sources. For example, you can play audio via Bluetooth and video from
your BD/DVD player. This function is only effective when an input with audio
only (Network, Bluetooth, or Tuner) has been selected initially.
