HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)
The latest in digital interface technology is here and it goes by the name of HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface). Unparalleled amounts of compress-
ed or uncompressed digital audio and video–up to 5 Gbps of data– can be handled with just one high- speed cable.
i.LINK (a.k.a. IEEE 1394)
The reduction of up to six analogue cables to one single digital cable capable of carrying multi-channel audio is here. i.LINK (a.k.a. IEEE 1394) provides the high-bandwidth, high-resolution signal transfer of audio that multi- channel formats like DVD-Audio and Super Audio
CD have been waiting for. Even better, content stays in the pure digital realm as there are no unnecessary D/A or A/D conversions performed. Experience the pure digital multi-channel music experience you’ve been waiting for.
NET-TUNE
The TX-NR5000E is part of the only line-up of receivers on the market to feature networking capability. With ONKYO’s exclusive Net-Tune protocol, your home cinema receiver makes the transition from home entertainment to home net- work. Via a 100-Base-TX DHCP enabled broadband router, the musical possibilities are virtually endless. First, free those music files on your computer from the limitation of underperforming speakers. Turn your computer into a
hard disk server with the Net-Tune Central media distribution software and then stream MP3, WAV or WMA files to the TX-NR5000E and through your home cinema speakers. Second, bring a world of music into your home with Internet radio. With a broadband Internet connection, you’ll have radio stations from around the world at your fingertips. All of this music potential means nothing if you can’t get to it. Using the Net-Tune Central software you can access artists, genres, albums, playlists or individual tracks on your com- puter or different regions and genres for Internet radio with the on-screen display capability. Don’t worry if you don’t have the TV on, you can also utilize the large display on the front of the TX-NR5000E. Now you can listen to the kind of music you want, when you want.
SPEAKER A AND B MODE FOR 7.1-CHANNELS
Surround sound doesn’t need to be left in one room when you go into another. Take a look at the rear of the TX-NR5000E and you’re sure to notice not one but two rows of seven- channel speaker terminals. This allows you to output 7.1- channels from the same source in two separate rooms.
Set your receiver for Speaker A Mode and enjoy. Time to move? Set your receiver to Speaker B Mode and the output to Speaker A will be switched to your other room with a
7.1-channel speaker set-up so that you can continue your listening pleasure.
BTL AND BI-WIRING CONNECTABILITY
FOR FL/FR WITH SBR/SBL
While a 7.1-channel system is the aim for most home cinema aficionados certain limiting factors–space, significant others, etc.–are the reality today. In other 5.1-channel home cinema systems, the surround back right (SBR) and surround back left (SBL) channel amplifiers are often left unused. Not with Onkyo engineering. Our engineers give you BTL and Bi-Wiring Connectability for FL/FR with SBR/SBL. By switching on this mode, the power of the surround back amps (SBR/SBL) is added to the front left (FL) and front right (FR) speakers for 200 watts of total power for the fronts. Your mother would be proud for not letting anything go to waste.
