The Onkyo TX-NR5007 is the third of three network- and internet-radio-ready, 9.2-channel THX Ultra2 Plus certified A/V receivers released in September 2009. It is in fact the strongest in the series, as it incorporates 145W per every channel; and even includes up to 8 HDMI 1.3a inputs. Added to that its HQV Reon-VX chipset, and the unit can upconvert video content from any source to 1080p/24. As for its audio, the Onkyo TX-NR5007 relies on customized transistors and audiophile-grade components to handle a large power supply; 32-bit Burr-Brown DACs, TI Aureus DSP Chips, and VLSC (Vector Linear Shaping Circuitry) to ensure optimal performance; and Audysey DSX and Dolby ProLogic Iiz for running a 9-channel soundstage. Configuration is perhaps the most complicated aspect, as the unit can be setup as a full 9.2-channel theater system; setup to power two independent stereo zones in addition to a 5-channel theater set-up; and setup with two channels powering a second pair of main speakers for dedicated listening.
