When you're looking for the ultimate in movie and music reproduction, unlock the full potential of an audio/video receiver and expand your home entertainment with Onkyo's TX-NR801. The 100-watts-per-channel x 7 TX-NR801 is a THX Select AV receiver offering compatibility with all major home theater surround sound processing formats, plus Onkyo's unique Net-Tune distributed audio technology for the seamless integration of high-quality audio with a home computer network. Other features include 192 kHz/24-bit audio DACs for superior sound quality, HDTV-capable component-video switching, and Onkyo's Powered Zone 2 capability, making it the centerpiece for an exceptional multiroom home entertainment system. Onkyo's exclusive Net-Tune capability uses a standard TCP/IP Ethernet connection to unite the receiver with MP3 and Windows Media Audio (WMA) files stored on a home PC, or to access Internet radio streams via a networked broadband Internet connection. This system also allows for up to 11 other Net-Tune clients to connect to the same network, all delivering simultaneous and independent access to music stored on a central PC. The receiver's onscreen display shows song title, artist, album, genre, and playlist information, making the entire family's music collection easy to store and access, without the clutter of CDs and their cases. Not even a CD jukebox can hold so much music, and deliver it so quickly and easily. The unit's rear-panel Ethernet connection lets you stream your MP3, WAV, and WMA audio files from your computer, in addition to being your passport to the music of the world via Internet radio. Further, the TX-NR801 incorporates high-grade parts that provide smooth and seamless listening from the latest-generation digital surround formats. The receiver offers onboard processing for THX Surround EX 7.1, Dolby Digital EX and Dolby Pro Logic II, DTS-ES, and DTS Neo:6. For analog sources, Onkyo's Pure Audio function allows all digital processing to be completely bypassed to preserve the purity of analog audio signals. HDTV-capable 50 MHz component-video switching and Y/C separation for composite to S-video conversion are included to maintain optimum video signal integrity. You get a total of 7 digital inputs, including one on the front panel and 2 digital outputs, as well as full 7.1-channel pre-outs for use with additional external amplification. There's also an array of multizone features, such as Onkyo's Powered Zone 2, which can drive a set of stereo speakers in another room using the receiver's rear surround-channel amplifiers, or using an external power amplifier. An onscreen display provides control of all settings as well as access to networked digital-media playlists. A backlit preprogrammed learning remote with Mode-Key LEDs simplifies system control and integration. What's in the Box Receiver, a remote control, remote batteries, an AM loop antenna, an FM indoor antenna, a set of speaker-cable labels, a user's manual, and warranty/registration information.

The unit is probably a bit "more expensive for the functionality of some other units, but the trade-off in sound quality and ease of use recommended it.Highly ... 15 of 20 people found this review helpful.
