The TX-SR806 occupies a unique position in the Onkyo line-up.We class it as a mid-range A/V receiver. But with its advanced capabilities and THX Ultra2 Plus certification, it`s a worthy challenger for high-end status. Built with high-definition entertainment in mind, the TX-SR806 accommodates up to five HDMI™ sources that can handle both 1080p video and studio master-quality surround sound.That`s more high-def sources than you`ll find on any other Onkyo A/V receiver. If that weren`t enough, onboard Faroudja DCDi Cinema™ scales all standard definition sources to 1080p for HDMI output, or to 1080i for component video output. Endowed with the amplification power and dependability expected from an Onkyo A/V receiver, the TX-SR806 stands out as a natural choice for high performance home theater.

Features

* THX Ultra2 Plus certified
* HDMI V1.3a repeater (5in/1out, 1080p compatible)
* HDMI 1080p upscaling powered by Faroujda DCDi Cinema
* Component Video Upscaling (up to 1080i)

The features on these receivers are pretty straightforward, although the THX features are worth discussing. THX Loudness Plus is a type of sound processing designed to give soundtracks more impact at low volume levels. We haven’t had a chance to listen to THX Loudness Plus on a receiver yet, but we’re betting audiophiles will prefer clean, unprocessed sound, and leave Loudness Plus turned off. The TX-SR806 is also THX Ultra2 Plus certified, which means it meets certain technical standards set by THX.

The Faroudja name is synonymous with high-quality video processing. The Faroudja technologies incorporated into Onkyo’s 2008 A/V receiver range give you the power to bring out the best from both high-definition and standard-definition video content. The Faroudja DCDi Edge™ video processor converts interlaced video signals to progressive scan signals and effectively eliminates video artifacts from HDTV images. The Faroudja DCDi Cinema™ video processor is a more sophisticated version that drastically reduces video noise without sacrificing image quality and sharpness. Both processors can scale standard-definition sources up to 1080i–and DCDi Cinema can additionally upscale to 1080p–for output to HDTVs.

The TXSR806′s five 1080p and Deep Color capable HDMI v1.3a inputs provide the most advanced interface for transporting both uncompressed high definition (HD) video and uncompressed multichannel audio in all HD formats including 720p, 1080i, and 1080p. It’s among the first receivers available to include decoding for Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, and DTS-HD Master multichannel audio formats from Blu-ray and HD-DVD players. In addition to its HDMI inputs, the Onkyo TXSR806 includes two HD (50 MHz) bandwidth component video, five S-Video, and five composite video inputs to accommodate other sources. There are a total of six digital audio inputs, a phono input, as well as eight analog audio inputs and two outputs. Front panel A/V inputs, including an optical digital audio jack, allow easy connection of A/V or audio devices such as a camcorder or portable MP3 player.
