Onkyo TX-SR607 is First Receiver with Dolby ProLogic IIz

Onkyo has added three home theater receivers (TX-SR607, TX-SR507, TX-SR307) to its lineup, including the “world’s first” with Dolby ProLogic IIz processing.

The TX-SR607, a 7.2-channel receiver with Dolby Pro-Logic IIz, adds a vertical aspect to the sound with left and right channel front height speakers above the main speakers.

Each model supports Blu-ray and other HD A/V source components, 1080p resolution, Deep Color, and x.v.Color.



They also feature:

-Audyssey 2EQ calibration to correct frequency and time domain in each channel’s output

-Audyssey Dynamic Volume technology to optimize the dynamic range at any listening level

-Audyssey Dynamic EQ to fix problems with reduced sound quality at low listening levels

Onkyo also included four gaming modes: Rock, Sports, Action, or Role Playing to match the listener’s experience to the gaming content.

The TX-SR607 and TX-SR507 have HDMI repeaters and Dolby True HD and DTS-HD Master Audio. Both also offer new proprietary rear-panel universal port to simplify connection to the HD Radio Tuner and iPod Dock that will be available in late spring.

The TX-SR607 also has dual subwoofer line-outputs and upconverts analog sources to HDMI via Faroujda DCDi technology.

The entry-level TX-SR307 has HDMI pass-through switching on three inputs.

The 5.1-channel TX-SR307 and 5.1-channel TX-SR507 have 65- and 80-watts per channel, respectively. The TX-SR607 is rated at 90 watts per channel.

MSRP: TX-SR307 — $299 (March) TX-SR507 — $399 (March) TX-ST607 — $599 (April)

Nice! I have had Onkyo receivers literally all my life. My parents bought me one in the 6th grade I think for Christmas. I have 4 in various rooms of the house and garage - old receivers never die, they just move to lesser rooms

So true! I have an old, low-end sony prologic receiver (60x4) that has moved on to my sorta-GF's house. The volume knob is getting loose and the CD input's have a bad connection, but it still powers a set of bookshelfs just fine.
