Hook-up your receiver to a router connected to your broadband modem via a high-speed Ethernet cable. Press the Net Audio button on the front or on your remote, and you’ll be enjoying a new world of music in your home.
VLSC (Vector Linear Shaping Circuitry)
Conventional D/A conversion methods reduce digital pulse noise at the conversion stage but can’t remove it com- pletely. Digital-to-analogue converters (DACs) and surround- ing circuitry inevitably taint the analogue signal with pulse noise. This pulse noise is transmitted along with the ana- logue signal and out to your speakers for a harsher sound signal than you should have to endure.
Unparalleled amounts of uncompressed data–not only video but audio as well–can be streamed to digital devices. Up to 5 Gbps– more than twice the 2.2 Gbps needed for an HD movie with surround sound–with plenty of room left over for what the future holds from a single cable. Convenient. One HDMI cable has the ability to replace audio and video cables giving you a single connection between your digital components. HDMI is also the first interface able to support every high-definition video–NTSC and PAL, from 480i to 1080p–and audio–DTS, Dolby Digital, PCM, etc.–format. There is even backward compatibility with DVI devices. Quality. By keeping everything in the digital realm, there are no unnecessary digital to analogue conversions with HDMI. With technology shifting to digital displays such as plasma and LCD, a lossless digital signal streamed to these devices will ensure you get the crystal-clear picture you’ve been waiting for. Protection. Uncompressed, high-quality digital signals are a boon for consumers but a concern for content providers. HDCP encrypton provides security for high-definition content being sent digitally between HDMI products paving the way for a truly digital future. HDMI–Your connection to the future–Today.
I.LINK (a.k.a. IEEE 1394)
The promise of DVD-Audio–5.1 channels of up to 96 kHz/24-bit or 2 channels of 192 kHz/24-bit encoding–and Super Audio CD–with
At ONKYO, our mission is simple–the definition and redefi- nition of what A/V components should sound like. In doing this, over the last 50 years we’ve built a reputation for the finest sounding products. And when your name means “sound” in Japanese, there’s quite a burden to shoulder.
The burden is not sound that can be simply rated in watts or a number on the volume display. The true test is sound that can be felt when you close your eyes and relax–when you listen to the subtlest opera or to thunderous space battles. To describe our unique sound in Japanese, we’ve coined the term “Kai On Shi-Tsu.”
The cumulative result of innovations like WRAT (Wide Range Amplifier Technology), VLSC (Vector Linear Shaping Circuitry) and other sound-enhancing exclusives that only ONKYO can give you. Translated “Kai On Shi-Tsu” means, “Sound Harmony.” We’re sure you’ll agree it’s the best sound you’ve ever heard–and felt.
THX ULTRA2 CERTIFIED
For more than a decade, THX Certification has set the highest standard for home cinema equipment. The TX-NR5000E features the highest level of THX quality assurance with THX Ultra2. Uncompromising sonic reproduction for movies is provided by THX Ultra2 Cinema. Musical enjoyment is brought to previously unmatched levels with THX MusicMode and low frequencies are given a boost through Boundary Gain Compensation (BGC).
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)
The TX-NR5000E incorporates the latest in interface techno- logy with the addition of HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) capability. This high-bandwidth interface conveys not only remarkable amounts of uncompressed digital video but audio as well. Up to 5 Gbps of data, more than twice what’s needed for a high-definition movie with surround sound, can be handled with room for future requirements. And
all this data is kept in the digital domain as there are no D/A or A/D conversions needed, something that guaran- tees the highest sound and video quality available.
ONKYO’s VLSC (Vector Linear Shaping Circuitry) employs
a custom D/A conversion circuit to overcome this problem. Data is converted between sampling points. The first sampling point is compared to the following sampling point via the Signal Comparison Generator, and the difference is then fed back to the Vector Generator. This process is carried out in a continuous loop throughout the duration of your usage. These points are joined with analogue vectors in real-time to produce a smooth output wave form. The result–a smooth analogue signal based on the digital source, virtually free of the tainting pulse noise, which brings out even the most subtle of nuances in your music, movie soundtracks and even MP3s!
a frequency response of up to 100 kHz and a sampling rate of 2.822 MHz–was an elation to music lovers around the world. Next came the crash to earth with the realization that analogue cables (up to six of them no less) would still be needed as transport. It was soon recognized that these sophisticated multi-channel re- cordings, with quality of sound never realized before, would require a new method of transmission to bring out their true potential. This has arrived with i.LINK connectivity. The simplification and at the same time expansion of your audio experience is made possible with a high-bandwidth, high-resolution transfer of audio signals via a single cable. Even better, the content stays purely digital as the digital to analogue conversions of the past are gone. i.LINK–the new standard for the digital transmission of audio.
