Onkyo TX-NR1030 9.2-Ch Dolby Atmos Ready Network A/V Receiver w/ HDMI 2.0
Separate amp and processing blocks, a massive high-current transformer, seven Burr-Brown DACs, and dual 32-bit DSP engines provide a solid foundation for Dolby Atmos, the revolutionary surround-sound format adding a new dimension to movie soundtracks. Originally developed for use in multiplex theaters, Dolby Atmos uses object-oriented mixing and ceiling channels to move directional effects around and above you in a seamless sphere of living sound. Balanced front XLR and 11.4-multichannel pre-outs and 8-in/3-out 4K/60 Hz HDMI 2.0 terminals supporting HDCP 2.2-copy-protected 4K internet video provide ultimate connectivity for your future- ready home theater. The TX-NR1030 is also engineered for breathtaking stereo performance with built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth opening a world of wireless digital music, from hi-res music streaming through to Spotify, while Pure Direct Analog Path puts soulful analog sound right up there with dedicated hi-fi amps. On top of all this, there’s DTS Neo:XTM upmixing, 4K video upscaling, ISF video calibration, and smartphone control in every zone. It’s simply the best-equipped, best-sounding 9.2-channel solution available for next-generation entertainment.
Onkyo is among the first to introduce the exciting Dolby Atmos surround-sound format to home theater environments. Dolby Atmos uses object-oriented mixing to layer independent audio elements through discrete channels, moving three-dimensional sound effects around the theater with astonishing realism. The format adapts to any home theater layout incorporating height channels for a more enveloping soundfield with extremely accurate directional and overhead effects.
Drivers don’t judge sports cars on top speed alone. Acceleration, cornering, and braking are equally important. It’s the same with A/V receivers—wattage is only an indication of loudness, not sound quality. The real test is current. High instantaneous current enhances speaker control for accurate and musical audio reproduction. It’s the cornerstone of our amplification philosophy—no other brand can match Onkyo for dynamic driving power. We don’t just translate signals into sound. We create sound you can feel.
Best-in-class high-current capability is achieved with Wide Range AmplifierTechnology (WRAT). At its core are a custom high- output transformer, customized 18,000 μF capacitors, and low- impedance copper bus-plates with separate processing and amplification blocks. Seven two-channel 192 kHz/24-bit TI Burr-Brown DACs and two 32-bit DSP engines handle audio processing withThree-Stage Inverted Darlington Circuitry amplification and discrete low-impedance output transistors delivering instantaneous power. The pinnacle of over 65 years’ audio engineering experience, WRAT preserves the vitality of the master recording.
All HDMI terminals feature the latest HDMI 2.0 specification to support 4K video at 60 frames per second and 21:9 cinema aspect. Now you can add enveloping 11.2-channel surround- sound to next-generation Ultra HD games and video for a breathtaking entertainment experience. The TX-NR1030 also supports HDCP 2.2 DRM copy protection via HDMI Input 3 and the main output, which is essential for viewing premium streamed and broadcast Ultra HD content.
Most conventional A/V receivers use just one Digital Signal Processor (DSP) to decode digital audio. The Onkyo TX-NR1030 doubles the power with two 32-bit processing engines to handle multichannel studio-master soundtracks and a large variety of hi-res audio files, including 5.6 MHz DSD (the same format used for Super Audio CD) and including new Dolby Atmos. The dual DSP engines are super-efficient at decoding these complex files so you can enjoy effortlessly smooth high-resolution playback.
THX certification guarantees the same high-volume sound you experience in a multiplex theater. The TX-NR1030 receiver has passed more than 2,000 laboratory tests to ensure every aspect of audio performance meets rigorous standards for theater-reference sound. THX Select2 Plus is recommended for screen-to-seat viewing distances of 10-12 feet (three to four meters).
The TX-NR1030 features built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Our free control app puts a range of streaming options at your fingertips, from hi-res audio via network attached storage (NAS) to internet streaming to music on smartphone and tablet. Or pair up and enjoy whatever’s playing on your Bluetooth-compatible device with huge cinematic sound. Thanks to Advanced Music Optimizer enhancement, near CD-quality audio is playing in moments, without the wires.
The Zone 2 HDMI output routes 1080p video from media players connected to your receiver to a second TV with easy remote app control. HDMI Sub Out is ideal for connecting a projector.
