Onkyo TX-SR494DAB - AV Receiver - 7.2

About the Onkyo TX-SR494DAB - AV Receiver - 7.2:

From simple wireless streaming via Bluetooth to the blood-curdling excitement of Dolby Atmos and DTS:X soundtracks, the TX-SR494DAB deepens the enjoyment of everyday life with great sound and smart features.

Dolby Atmos and DTS:X sound

The TX-SR494DAB boosts your Dolby Atmos and DTS:X experience. Object-based audio is mixed into 3D space and allows each sound to play through each speaker, tracking action, locating effects and moving around you. Dolby Surround and DTS Neural:X complement native 3D audio playback. These technologies find localization cues in legacy stereo or multichannel soundtracks and upmix these elements to create immersive top-to-bottom dimensionality.

Dolby Atmos High-Virtualizer from the Onkyo TX-SR494DAB - AV Receiver - 7.2

When playing any Dolby format, turning on Dolby Atmos Height Virtualizer creates a more immersive listening experience, creating a virtual surround and height effect from traditional speaker setups without using additional surround or height speakers.

Spatial sound taken to the next level with DTS Virtual:X

DTS Virtual:X is a new surround-sound virtualization technology that creates an immersive 3D sound field from any speaker setup, such as 2.1, 3.1, 5.1 and 7.1 configurations without the use of height, surround or rear surround speakers. It uses advanced DSP-based algorithms to place the audience at the center of a multidimensional sound field with height and surround spaciousness, and is equally effective in large and small rooms. DTS Virtual:X works in the 3D domain with DTS:X soundtracks, DTS formats and uncoded stereo.

Get ready for 4K HDR entertainment with the Onkyo TX-SR494DAB - AV Receiver - 7.2

Benefit from extensive support for 4K/60p and High Dynamic Range (HDR) video, including HDR10, HLG, Dolby Vision and BT.2020. The 4:4:4 color space is also supported. All four HDMI inputs and the ARC-ready output pass video from the player to your compatible TV, giving you access to everything the latest movies and games have to offer. You can easily confirm the status of the A/V input output via a new OSD window.

AccuEQ acoustic calibration with AccuReflex

AccuEQ Room Acoustic Calibration creates a harmonious sound field in your room. It detects speaker presence, size and distance from a measurement position and sets appropriate sound pressure levels. It then selects the ideal subwoofer crossover and applies equalization to all speakers. AccuReflex technology optimizes the reproduction of object-based audio through Dolby Atmos-compatible speakers. It resolves phase shift resulting from path differences between directional and non-directional sounds. Along with improved localization, a 3D field with vertical motion and overhead dimensionality is produced.

Share the atmosphere or relax in privacy with the Onkyo TX-SR494DAB - AV Receiver - 7.2

A great addition to the TX-SR494DAB is a Zone B pre/line-out. It connects a component with an analog RCA line input to audio sources available to the receiver, including HDMI and digital audio. Share sound through a nearby hi-fi system, or connect a supported charging station for wireless headphones and enjoy your entertainment without disturbing anyone.

Powered Zone B Auido or front channel bi-amping

The Height/Surround Back/Bi-Amp/Zone B speaker outputs can drive stereo speakers in another room with a 5.2-channel setup in the main room. The outputs can share any AVR source exclusively in Zone B, or play the same source in Main and Zone B. Alternatively, you can bi-amp your pair of compatible front speakers.

Smooth and easy Bluetooth streaming

Whatever audio is playing on your phone, tablet or PC app can be streamed to the TX-SR494DAB using Bluetooth wireless technology. Once paired and memorized with your device, the receiver automatically starts playing when it detects an incoming Bluetooth audio stream.

Decompress with Advanced Music Optimizer

When an audio file is squeezed into a small container such as MP3, high-frequency data is lost. This can affect sound quality. Onkyo's Advanced Music Optimizer DSP listening mode reconstructs the missing bit data. Playback quality is significantly improved while enjoying the same convenient file sizes. This mode also optimizes the playback quality of Bluetooth streaming.
