World's first THX Select certified Network Receiver: TX-NR900E Integra

Now it's official: Onkyo introduces the new exclusive network technology – Net-Tune™ to the public. With the first network receiver, the TX-NR900E, Onkyo also offers a device that meets all THX® Select specifications and thus achieves outstanding sound quality.

An Ethernet connection allows the TX-NR900E to be connected to a PC or a LAN interface. And with the help of the Net-Tune™ Central software, the user can create audio databases (MP3 , WMA or WAV format) including playlists. These databases can also be accessed via the remote control of the receiver, and navigation is easy to handle via a logically structured OSD menu. If there is access to a broadband Internet connection, then the TX-NR900E also allows direct access to an almost limitless number of Internet radio stations. If required, a selection of these radio stations can also be stored on one of the 30 transmission memory slots. Net-Tune™ Central is a Windows® based software that works efficiently in the background and thus also allows the user to work with other applications at the same time. The TX-NR900E also has the Theater-Dimensional™ feature, which is exclusive to Onkyo , VLSC™ (Vector Linear Shaping Circuitry) and DTS® 96/24 as well as a five-stage adjustable crossover frequency from 40 to 120 Hz.

Feature List Onkyo TX-NR900E Network Receiver

• Net-Tune™ With Net-Tune™ it is now possible to make the entire content of music databases accessible to several users via an in-house network. Up to 12 TX-NR900E receivers in separate rooms have simultaneous access to tracks that are located on the same hard drive. CDs and external sound sources can be recorded or "ripped" to the hard disk in an MP3 , WMA (compressed) or PCM (uncompressed) format. The scope of services of Net-Tune™ Central does not stop there, but it is also possible to create user-specific playlists, which are the easiest to access with the remote control of the TX-NR900E. If you are interested in a timely reception of worldwide broadcasters via the Internet, then Net-Tune™ opens up a variety of choices for you. Connect your TX-NR900E to a router connected to a broadband modem via a High-speed Ethernet cable and you will have unprecedented access to radio stations around the world thanks to the Net-Tune™ protocol, which is exclusive to Onkyo . With a capacity of 30 transmission memory slots, you also have direct access to your favorite stations.

• Lucasfilm THX® Select Certification This certification is your guarantee for excellent home theater performance – it includes highly developed DSP methods such as Cinema Re-EQ™, Timbre Matching™, Adaptive Decorrelation™ and Bass Management™ to ensure accurate and true-to-the-original movie sound reproduction even at your home.

• Dual 32 Bit DSP Chips These powerful and accurate dual 32 bit DSP chips combined with the high-precision 192 kHz/24 bit audio D/A converters implemented in the TXNR900E can process the digital signals so precisely that reliable reproductions of digital sources with the variety of multi-channel possibilities can be guaranteed into pure analog audio perfection.

• VLSC™ (Vector Linear Shaping Circuitry) Conventional D/A conversion methods reduce the digital noise components in the converter stage, but cannot completely prevent them. VLSC (Vector Linear Shaping Circuitry) reduces the linearization errors of the digital signal to an absolute minimum by means of a unique D/A converter stage. The distortions occurring due to the intervals between the sampling points are compensated by analog real-time vectors. These vector connections smooth the output signal into an even, wavy course. The result is an almost error-free, faithful and soft reproduction of the analog signal.

• Theater-Dimensional™ The exclusive Theater-Dimensional™ circuit technology simplifies the complexity of conventional multi-channel set-up settings and lets you experience real surround sound even with just two speakers. The unique multi-speaker mode allows the placement of up to five speakers, even if they cannot be arranged ideally.
