Onkyo TX-SR608 Home Theater is formally categorized as an “entry-level” A/V receiver. But in fact, it is one of the most feature-packed home theater system available in the market today. It has lots of hi-tech features, all of them are geared toward producing the best home entertainment you can possibly have. And all these at an affordable price. No wonder Onkyo TX-SR608 carries a tag line “Hitting the Sweet Spot Where Budget and Performance Meet”.

TX-SR608 Home Theater Receiver has many hi-tech features. As a start, it features six HDMI 1.4 inputs, through which you can connect all of your HD sources such as your Blu-ray player, gaming console, cable/satellite tuner, and so on. This latest HDMI technology is compatible with the new 3D video format, so that you can enjoy the increasingly popular 3D movie selections. It also features an Audio Return Channel, where audio content received by your HDTV’s tuner can be sent “upstream” to Onkyo TX-SR608 without utilizing a separate audio cable. If you need more input channels, Onkyo TX-SR608 also has an analog RGB video input which can be used to connect with your computer, as well as a Universal Port to connect with Onkyo peripherals. Through these input channels you can connect your various video sources. And if you have lower resolution video connected, Onkyo TX-SR608 can also upscale the video to big and beautiful 1080p via HDMI and Faroudja DCDi Cinema features.

For processing audio, TX-SR608 Onkyo can handle two new surround-sound technologies, the Audyssey DSX and the Dolby Pro Logix IIz. These new audio technologies allow exciting new ways to set your speakers in order to achieve super dramatic and immersing listening experience. Audyssey DSX allows you to incorporate “front wide” speakers replacing the usual surround back speakers, so that you can have expanded width of the soundstage. Dolby Pro Logic IIz can deliver “front height” channels to carry ambient, non-directional audio that adds a new vertical dimension to your games and movies.

There are other features in Onkyo TX-SR608. But the above few should be sufficient to show that Onkyo TX-SR608 is definitely the number one home theater system.
