Onkyo’s New Mid-Range Receivers Add 4K Output

Onkyo has introduced two new mid-range receivers in the form of the TX-NR717 and TX-NR818, which are both 7.2 network-connected home theater receivers with THX-certified sound. The TX-NR818 also offers the audio calibration capabilities of Audyssey MultEQ XT32.

The dual core video engine combines an HQV Vida VHD 1900 video processor core for upscaling all inputs to 1080p using the Marvel Qdeo processor, which can also upscale to four times that resolution (4K) for digital sources.

Features on both receivers include InstaPrevue and MHL (Mobile High Definition Link) technologies DTS Neo:X, Dolby Pro Logic IIz and Audyssey DSX audio processing, eight HDMI inputs (one front, and seven rear) two outputs, Wi-Fi and LAN connectivity, a rear-panel and front panel USB port. They have list prices of $999 for the TX-NR717 and $1,999 for the TX-NR818.
