A Stunning Balance of High-Definition Formats, Upscaling Video, and All-Round Versatility
The TX-SR607 raises the bar once again in the competitive world of mid-range home theater. With HDMI 1.3a inputs for up to six components, its ready to handle all your high-definition video and audio needs. Whether its a Blu-ray Disc player, a cable or satellite box, or a gaming console, your video signals will be traveling first class. Lower-resolution analog video signals, meanwhile, can be upscaled to 1080i and fine-tuned by Faroudja DCDi Edge. HDMI version 1.3a also transports the master-quality HD audio formats, DTS-HD Master Audio and Dolby TrueHD. The very latest Dolby technology, Dolby Pro Logic IIz, enhances the spatial sensation of music, movies, and video games by letting you incorporate front height channels. The TX-SR607 also includes convenient connectivity options for iPod, MP3 players, and more. Four specialized gaming modes, Audyssey room-correction technologies, and Zone 2 capability add the gloss to what is a phenomenal all-round package.
1080p Video and High-Def Surround Sound via HDMI 1.3a*
Incorporating HDMI version 1.3a, along with advanced processing capabilities, the TX-SR607 makes for a powerful A/V control center. Five rear-side HDMI inputs, along with a convenient front-side one, enable connection of up to six components, including Blu-ray Disc players, gaming consoles, and set-top boxes. The TX-SR607 can receive and switch high-def media, such as HD broadcasts and Blu-ray Discs, and send a pure digital output to your HDTV. Whats more, all multichannel audiofrom bit-for-bit streams to standard Dolby Digitalcan be input via HDMI for processing on the TX-SR607. HDMI version 1.3a enables CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) and offers greater bandwidth to deal with higher resolutions, 36-bit Deep Color, and high frame rates.
* HDMI version 1.3a supports Deep Color, x.v.Color, LipSync, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio, DVD-Audio, Super Audio CD, and CEC.
A Full Range of the Latest High-Definition Surround-Sound Codecs
The TX-SR607 handles Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio two lossless decoding formats that enable delivery of a bit-for-bit soundtrack identical to the studio master track. Both codecs take advantage of the high data capacity of the Blu-ray Disc (BD) format. Another BD-related technology is DTS-HD Express, which provides access to secondary audio features. The TX-SR607 also handles two lossy audio formats: Dolby Digital Plus and DTS-HD High Resolution Audio. Dolby Digital Plus is designed to accompany high-definition video delivered via disc media, broadcasts, and online content. DTS-HD High Resolution Audio, meanwhile, offers a greater bit rate, a higher sampling rate, and more channels than the core DTS technology.
A Suite of Audyssey Technologies for the Ideal Listening Environment
The TX-SR607 has three Audyssey technologies to help create the most suitable listening environment for your home. (1) Audyssey 2EQ for Room Acoustic Correction Tailors multichannel audio for your home theater by correcting problems both in frequency response and in the time domain (where most of the problems lie) for a clear, precise, and natural sound. (2) Audyssey Dynamic Volume Maintains the desired listening level for all content while optimizing the dynamic range. (3) Audyssey Dynamic EQ for Loudness Correction Solves the problem of deteriorating sound quality at lower volumes.
Dolby Pro Logic IIz for a 3-Dimensional Sound Field
Dolby Pro Logic IIz offers the proven quality of Dolby Pro Logic IIx and adds a new vertical dimension to your home theater soundstage. As with previous versions of Dolby Pro Logic, this latest version delivers a convincing surround-sound experience from any movie or music sourceeven a stereo one. On the TX-SR607, Dolby Pro Logic IIz enables you to incorporate two front height speakers into your surround-sound set-up as an alternative to the two surround back speakers. The front height channels carry ambient, non-directional audio that helps immerse you even more deeply into your movies and games. With Dolby Pro Logic IIz, rain seems to burst from clouds right above you, and helicopters fly realistically overhead.
HDMI Video Upscaling (to 1080i) and Faroudja DCDi Edge (Directional Correlational Deinterlacing) Technology
The TX-SR607s 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. Native 1080p video is processed as it is, but lower-resolution signals from component video and composite video are upscaled to 1080i via HDMI. Upscaling takes the video resolution to HD quality, so it better matches the resolution of todays high-definition displays. To further improve performance on high-definition displays, the TX-SR607 features a deinterlacing chip with Faroudja DCDi Edge technology, which effectively eliminates video artifacts.

Notes: Before starting Audyssey 2EQ Room Correction and Speaker Setup, arrange the room and connect the speakers as you would for enjoying movies. Changes to the room after auto setup requires you run the auto setup again, as room EQ characteristics may have changed. When starting the room correction and speaker setup, do not stand between the speakers and microphone, and avoid obstacles blocking the path between speakers and microphone. This will produce inaccurate results. Position the microphone at ear height of a seated listener with the microphone tip pointed directly at the ceiling using a tripod. Do not hold the microphone in your hand during measurements as this will produce innacurate results.
Make the room as quiet as possible. Background noise can disrupt the room measurements. Close windows, silence cell phones, televisions, radios, air conditioners, fluorescent lights, home appliances, light dimmers, or other devices. Cell phones should be turned off or placed away from all audio electronics during the measurement process as Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) may cause measurement disruptions (even if the cell phone is not in use).
When prompted, place the setup microphone at the next position, and repeat step 5. When the measurements are complete, the following screen appears.

It supports up to 7.1 channels with 48 kHz sampling rate.

Use it with DVDs that bear the DTS 96/24 logo. DTS-ES Discrete This mode is for use with DTS-ES Discrete soundtracks, which use a discrete surround back channel for true 6.1/ 7.1-channel playback. The seven totally separate audio channels provide better spatial imaging and 360-degree sound localization, perfect for sounds that pan across the surround channels. Use it with DVDs that bear the DTSES logo, especially those with a DTS-ES Discrete soundtrack.
