Taking Control of a New Generation of High-Definition A/V Possibilities
In terms of the evolution of home entertainment, recent years have seen a quantum leap. Its a formidable progression when you think of 1080p high-definition video and broadcasts; studio-quality, lossless surround sound; and spectacular gaming with stunning motion graphics. Bundling all this potential, the TX-SR805 A/V surround receiver has been built to provide comprehensive control over all movies, music, broadcasts and gaming. But that barely begins to describe the TX-SR805s potential. Augmented by its THX Ultra2 certification, this receiver goes even further by bringing you sophisticated room-correction technology, multi-zone capabilities, powerful bi-amping and dual push-pull amplification.The TX-SR805 provides a reference point for a new generation of high-definition A/V receivers.
THX Ultra2 Certification for a Better Class of Home Theatre
From its development stage to its final conception, the TX-SR805 has been engineered to comply with the most stringent requirements of THX Ultra2. Ultra2 certification means that the TX-SR805 is ideally suited to a home theatre where the viewing distance from screen to seat is greater than 12 feet and the room volume is greater than 3000 cubic feet. It also means that the TX-SR805 is able to produce exceptional sound quality for movies through THX Ultra2 Cinema, and truly uplifting music through THX MusicMode.The TX-SR805 also features THX Games Mode, a post-processing audio technology that revolutionizes the home video game experience by immersing the player in the action. Completing the package, two THX processing technologies, Boundary Gain Compression (BGC) and Advanced Speaker Array (ASA), optimize sound dynamics for your listening environment.
HDMI and Component Video Upconversion for a Single Output to High-Resolution Displays
The TX-SR805s HDMI inputs can receive pristine digital video from HDMI-enabled components for a single-cable output to a display device with an HDMI or DVI connection. It can also upconvert analog signals to HDMI so that all connected video sources can be output via one cable. And if your display doesnt have HDMI capability, you can use the HDquality component video connections, which will also cover your S-Video and composite video sources.To support progressive scan, the TX-SR805 features a deinterlacing chip with Faroudja DCDi Edge (Directional Correlational Deinterlacing).This technology helps to effectively eliminate video artifacts from HDTV images.
Audyssey MultEQ XT for Powerful Room Acoustics Correction
MultEQ XT is Audysseys most powerful built-in solution for countering distortion in dedicated home theatres.This technology detects speakers, and then sets levels, delays and crossovers, as well as measuring room acoustics. Using the receiver interface, it takes up to 8 measurements around the listening area and uses high-resolution equalization filters for satellites and subwoofers. MultEQ XT covers both frequency response and time domain (where most of the problems lie) across the entire listening area.The results are immediately obviousa clear, well-balanced and natural sound.
Processing 1080p Video and High Resolution Audio via High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI v.1.3a)
With three HDMI inputs, you can receive and switch the latest hidefinition componentsBlu-ray Disc and HD DVD players, satellite and cable boxes, media centers, and gaming consolesfor a pure, one-cable digital connection to an HDTV. HDMI also delivers the latest highdefinition audio formatDolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio, Dolby Digital Plus and DTS-HD High Resolution Audioto be processed by the TX-SR805s onboard decoders.These new formats enable unprecedented quality including bit-for-bit reproduction (TrueHD and Master Audio). Also, HDMI 1.3a gives you greater bandwidth to deal with higher resolutions, 36-bit Deep Color and high frame rates.

Drawing on Dual Push-Pull Amplification and 3-Stage Inverted Darlington Circuitry
The TX-SR805 is based on dual push-pull amplification.The receivers transistors alternately push and pull the current. In pairs, one output device (i.e. a transistor) will amplify the positive half of the waveform, while another output device will amplify the negative half of the waveform. Push-pull amplification has the advantage of efficiency, but can be affected by occasional instances of distortion. Onkyo has countered this by including a 3-stage inverted Darlington circuit to significantly reduce distortion.

The AV receivers listening modes can transform your listening room into a movie theater or concert hall, with high delity and stunning surround sound.

Pure Audio Dolby Digital

Use this mode with DVDs that bear the Dolby Digital logo and Dolby Digital TV broadcasts. This is the most common digital surround-sound format, and itll put you right in the middle of the action, just like being in a movie theater or concert hall.

Dolby EX

In this mode, the display and video circuitry are turned off, minimizing possible noise sources for the ultimate in high-delity audio reproduction. (As the video circuitry is turned off, only the HDMI OUT outputs video.) Note: The Pure Audio listening mode cannot be selected while Zone 2 is on.

Direct

This mode expands 5.1-channel sources for 6.1/7.1channel playback. Its especially suited to Dolby Digital EX soundtracks that include a matrix-encoded surround back channel. The additional channel adds an extra dimension and provides an enveloping surround sound experience, perfect for rotating and y-by sound effects.

Dolby Digital Plus

In this mode, audio from the input source is output directly with minimal processing, providing high-delity reproduction. All of the sources audio channels are output as they are.

Stereo

Developed for use with HDTV, including the new video disc formats Blu-ray and HD DVD, this is the latest multichannel audio format from Dolby. It supports up to 7.1 channels with 48 kHz/24-bit sampling rate and signal resolution.

Dolby TrueHD

Sound is output by the front left and right speakers.
Use this mode when watching an old movie with a mono soundtrack, or use it with the foreign language soundtracks recorded in the left and right channels of some movies. It can also be used with DVDs or other sources containing multiplexed audio, such as karaoke DVDs.
Designed to take full advantage of the additional storage space offered by the new Blu-ray and HD DVD disc formats, this new Dolby format offers up to 7.1 discrete channels of lossless audio performance with 96 kHz/24bit sampling rate and signal resolution. The AV receiver supports 7.1-channel sources up to 96 kHz and 5.1-channel sources up to 192 kHz.

THX Ultra2 Cinema

Developed for use with HDTV, including the new video disc formats Blu-ray and HD DVD, this is the latest multichannel audio format from DTS. It supports up to 7.1 channels with 96 kHz/24-bit sampling rate and signal resolution.

DTS-HD Master Audio

This mode expands 5.1-channel sources for 7.1channel playback. It does this by analyzing the composition of the surround source, optimizing the ambient and directional sounds to produce the surround back channel output.

THX Music Mode

Designed to take full advantage of the additional storage space offered by the new Blu-ray and HD DVD disc formats, this new DTS format offers up to 7.1 discrete channels of uncompressed digital audio with 96 kHz/24-bit sampling rate and signal resolution. The AV receiver supports 7.1-channel sources up to 96 kHz and 5.1-channel sources up to 192 kHz.
This mode is designed for use with music. It expands 5.1-channel sources for 7.1-channel playback.

THX Games Mode

This mode is designed for use with video games. It can expand 2-channel and 5.1-channel sources for 6.1/7.1-channel playback.

THX Surround EX

Neural THX 5.1/7.1
Neural-THX Surround employs psychoacoustic frequency domain processing, which allows delivery of a more detailed sound stage, with superior channel separation and localization of audio elements. The Neural THX 5.1 and Neural THX 7.1 modes can expand any 2-channel stereo source for 5.1- or 7.1-channel playback, respectively. Use them with CD, radio, cassette, TV, VHS, DVD, and other 2-channel stereo sources, including video games. Neural-THX Surround can also be used by broadcasters to encode and transmit surroundsound content over a stereo signal, which listeners can enjoy as either surround sound or normal stereo. XM Satellite Radio, for example, is using Neural-THX Surround on select channels, which the AV receiver can expand from 5.1 channels to 7.1 channels.
This mode expands 5.1-channel sources for 6.1/7.1channel playback. Its especially suited to Dolby Digital EX sources. THX Surround EX, also known as Dolby Digital Surround EX, is a joint development between Dolby Laboratories and THX Ltd.
DSD stands for Direct Stream Digital and is the format used to store digital audio on Super Audio CDs (SACD). This mode can be used with SACDs that feature multichannel audio.

Onkyo Original DSP Modes

Mono Movie
This mode is suitable for old movies and other mono sources. The center speaker outputs the sound as it is, while reverb is applied to the sound output by the other speakers, giving presence to even mono material.

Orchestra

Suitable for classical or operatic music, this mode emphasizes the surround channels in order to widen the stereo image and simulates the natural reverberation of a large hall.

Unplugged

Suitable for acoustic instruments, vocals, and jazz, this mode emphasizes the front stereo image, giving the impression of being right in front of the stage.

Theres no sound or its very quiet Make sure that the digital input is assigned to the input selector (page 52). Make sure that the correct audio input is selected (page 70). Make sure that all audio connecting plugs are pushed in all the way (page 27). Make sure that the polarity of the speaker cables is correct, and that the bare wire is in contact with the metal part of each speaker terminal (page 22). Make sure that the speaker cables are not shorting. Check the volume (page 62). The AV receiver is designed for home theater enjoyment and has a wide volume range for precise adjustment.

TroubleshootingContinued

While Powered Zone 2 is being used, playback in the main room is reduced to 5.1-channels and the surround back speakers produce no sound (page 101). The subwoofer produces no sound If the source material contains no audio in the LFE channel, the subwoofer produces no sound. Check the Speaker Conguration (page 86). The Zone 2/3 speakers produce no sound The Zone 2/3 speakers only output sources that are connected to an analog input. Check to see if the source component is connected to an analog input. On the TX-SR875, Powered Zone 2 cannot be used if the Speaker Type is set to Bi-Amp or BTL (page 45). Theres no sound with a certain signal format Check the digital audio output setting on the source component. On some game consoles, such as those that can play DVDs, the default setting is off. With some DVD-Video discs, you need to select an audio format from a menu or with the AUDIO button on your DVD players remote controller. Cant get 6.1- or 7.1-channel playback While Powered Zone 2 is being used, playback in the main room is reduced to 5.1-channels and the surround back speakers produce no sound (page 101). Cant select the Pure Audio listening mode The Pure Audio listening mode cannot be selected while Zone 2 is on. The volume cannot be set to +18 dB (99) Check to see if a maximum volume has been set (page 96). After the Automatic Speaker Setup function has been run, or the volume level of each individual speaker has been adjusted (pages 68 and 90), the maximum volume may be reduced. Noise can be heard Using cable ties to bundle audio cables with power cords, speaker cables, and so on can degrade audio performance, so dont use them. An audio cable may be picking up interference. Try repositioning your cables. The Late Night function doesnt work Make sure that the source is Dolby Digital (page 81). The analog multichannel input doesnt work Check the multichannel input connections (page 32). Make sure that the multichannel input is assigned to the input selector (page 54). Make sure that the multichannel input is selected (page 70). Check the audio output settings on your DVD player. About DTS signals When playing DTS program material, using the pause, fast forward, or fast reverse function on your player may produce a short audible noise. This is not a malfunction. When DTS program material ends and the DTS bitstream stops, the AV receiver remains in DTS listening mode and the DTS indicator remains on. This is to prevent noise when you use the pause, fast forward, or fast reverse function on your player. If you switch your player from DTS to PCM, as the AV receiver does not switch formats immediately, you may not hear anything, in which case you should stop your player for about 3 seconds, and then resume playback. With some CD players, you wont be able to playback DTS material properly even though your player is connected to a digital input on the AV receiver. This is usually because the DTS bitstream has been processed (e.g., output level, sampling rate, or frequency response changed) and the AV receiver doesnt recognize it as a genuine DTS signal. In such cases, you may hear noise. The beginning of audio received by an HDMI IN cant be heard Since it takes longer to identify the format of an HDMI signal than it does for other digital audio signals, sound may not be output immediately.
