For 20 years, THX ® has made our A/V receivers disappear. Its no easy trick. Reproducing the high fi delity and volume levels of
commercial movie theater-the kind of sound that pulls you from your seat and into the action-calls for an A/V receiver engineered
to the highest standards. It demands a robust power supply, bulletproof construction, and amplifi ers that stay composed as the volume
climbs above reference level. To wear a THX badge, the A/V receiver must pass more than 2,000 laborator y tests analyzing ever y aspect
of audio performance. Onkyo A/V receivers not only guarantee THX cinema reference sound right out of the box, they eliminate other
distractions that can bring you out of the movie. Ever ything from initial setup to ever yday operation is more intuitive, reducing the
time it takes to load content and allowing you to make in-program adjustments without disruption. So when the lights go down, theres
nothing standing between you and a spellbinding cinema experience thats reproduced exactly as the fi lmmaker intended.
