More useful customer in 48 out of 50 people found this review helpful. Taming the clutter of audio and video in your home with neurotomy Do you know how. Take a look at your entertainment area. How many pieces of hardware sitting there? A TV, a cable box, maybe DirecTV, a CD player, maybe a docking station for iPod. DVD player? Blu-ray? Old video? AirPort Express for AirTunes, maybe? How about a PS3, an Xbox, a Wii? Apple TV? Slingbox? Hulu player? Mac mini season by the media? How many speakers do you have? 5? 7? 9? Perhaps there are speakers in other parts of the house, and want to watch TV here and listen to music there? Like satellite radio, Pandora? How about XM HD? Of course, all the hardware front, just bought yesterday, right? No? HDMI, Component, S-video, analog video coaxial cable, coaxial digital video - as the format you have? Your TV - is 1080p or 1080i? What about sound? All digital? Digital optical, digital coaxial - or have one of the old RCA plugs? Red / left / right? Or are we talking about a full surround setup? (Maybe you're like me and have a pair of bookshelf monitors Tannoy legacy, coaxial cones, a bi-amplified sound fantastic and perhaps the last sentence sounded like the ravings of a lunatic.) Do not know what you have. And not the good people of this Onkyo So in a big box, they shut Doggone many solutions as you could possibly need. For video, the six HDMI inputs, and send them to one or two outputs, a head (and if necessary a sub-) output. UpCode can be turned off, or something upcoded can automatically, or you can make anything into a UpCode Rez. (As my old TV only 1080i supports me the opportunity to ride up and down coding to that size had the bottom line of Onkyo's just UpCode to 1080 and who would not have worked.) There are also about a trillion other ways to feed the video from the best, and you can configure the device to an input link to a button on the remote. For example, I coded my PS3 to "game" track, while my DirecTV box is "CBL / SAT". The machine is fully HDMI 1.4 4a consistently, the future is 3D work right out of the box, and supports HDMI audio back, although if you really know what you do not want it for audio, there are two audio coaxial or optical digital audio-3 can gazillion to one RCA audio inputs strengthen them and guide them to the output of the speakers. If you have a 9.2 surround Super, R, L, center, R / L before high R / L broad front R / L Surround R / L surround back and a set or two powered sub like: in this box is there to do the job. But in this case there is no substitute amplifier for Zone 2 or 3, which means you need a separate power amp to power these various areas. If you want areas under stress, you have to sacrifice some of your surround speakers. For me, I wanted 5.1 surround with the front speakers bi-amping (tweeter and woofer are each driven fronts with a different amp), I lost Powered Zone 2 and Zone 3, I still have power. Zone 3 routes to a pair of outdoor speakers on my deck so I can jazz with Pandora Internet (ah, Thelonius my old friend) to relax while watching my wife, cackling idiots on Project Runway in all its terrible glory, you have to hook the machine up to a hub connected to your Internet connection, a gateway, and it has become a cable connection. (I use an AirPort Express to my wireless home network with a CAT6 cable that connects the Pioneer Bridge, this setup has the added benefit of AirTunes, which has a mini-jack cable (or 3.5 mm mini optical toslink, your choice is) my iTunes library to the amplifier, and this process can get from my Mac laptop or iPhone can be controlled.) Wow, that technical. Thank God Onkyo menu is easy to read and easy. I would say, make sure the Internet is connected and actively serve your Onkyo Onkyo before you first, or you.
