Buy the best AV Receiver for the Best Price


There are many Home Cinema Surround Sound Receivers available at a variety of prices and with a variety of features, but which one should you buy?



Quite a difficult question but there is one AV amp that makes a lot easier to answer - Onkyo TX-NR609. Priced at just under £500, there isn't another AV Reciever available at that price with as many features as the 609. With THX Select2 Plus certification, txnr609 handles disc based media, be it Blu-Ray, DVD or CD with precision and detail, through its network and wireless capabilities - audio content from your PC, MAC, iPod / iPhone as well as audio via the internet. Add to this, 6 HDMi inputs (one of which is on the front panel) that support 3D video, high
resolution 4K video upscaling using Marvell Qdeo, DTS and Dolby High Definition sound formats and superb amplifier performance and you have for yourself an amazing powerhouse of a system which is beginning to receive a great deal of praise in review.

Easy to Set up

With its ease of set-up, overlayed on screen display that is carried via HDMi, the settings can be adjusted whilst you are watching your favourite films without spoiling the experience - it is in the fine details such as this that Onkyo have come up with what looks to be another classic.

3D and Audio Return Channel via HDMi


Enjoy stunning 3D video via TV broadcast or games for true to life, dramatic 3D imagery and with the Audio Return Channel, sound from your TV's own tuner will be streamed back into your receiver thus eliminating the need for an extra digital COAX or optical cable and cutting down the extra cost that cabling always adds to the purchase of a home cinema system.


PC Connectivity

TXNR609 also features a PC-In input which will allow you to stream video from your PC, a really well thought out feature. Please note that audio may need t be connected to the 609 using a seperate cable but with the Onkyo's myriad of analogue and digital inputs, you will not be short of options.


Network Features


Connecting your Home PC or Laptop to the TX-NR609 could n't be easier. With interaction with Internet Radio services such as Napster, Pandora, Sirius Internet Radio, MediaFly, vTuner, Slacker etc, and with support for Spotify, the sound quality and functionality for these type of services has never been better. An of course with Internet Radio, you can listen to even the most obscure genres of music from any location in the world - the 609 is also compatible with Microsoft Windows 7 's DLNA 'Play To' streaming feature.

THX Select 2 Plus

THX certification means that the Onkyo TX-NR609 has been certified as hving the capability to reproduce Surround Sound film soundtrack faithfully and as the filmakers and director intended it to be. But the TX-NR 609 with confidence -

relax, enjoy...........
