THX® Ultra2™ Plus-Certified for Reference Sound

Why Upgrade to an RZ Series Product?
Onkyo strives to create products that bring joy to the listener. The RZ Series is the culmination of 70 years of experience in high-end audio: future-focused, but with the analog tradition at heart. Every design element, every hand-selected part contributes to flagship performance: full-spectrum reproduction, transparent resolution, lightning dynamics, a sense of rhythm and soul... performance that overwhelms and fills you with emotion.
Noiseless Signal Processing with VLSC™
No matter how good the DAC, pulse noise is an inevitable consequence of digital-to-analog conversion. VLSC (Vector Linear Shaping Circuitry) compares vectors from the input/output signal and uses that information to erase digital noise. A pure, noise-free analog signal is fed to your amps, resulting in improved detail resolution and clarity.
DTS:X® and Dolby Atmos®
With 11.2 pre-amp channels, you can let your speakers deliver a complete multidimensional movie experience in your home cinema through a 7.2.4 layout. Dolby Atmos and DTS:X unlock sound from conventional channels and free audio to move above and around the audience for a thoroughly captivating and immersive movie experience.
Cohesive Multidimensional Sound
AccuReflex—part of the AccuEQ room calibration suite—phase-matches Dolby Atmos-enabled and floor-standing speakers for transparent and seamless reproduction of object-based sound. AccuEQ optimizes the entire system to suit your space without affecting front-speaker characteristics for pure stereo listening.
Upmixes Standard Surround Formats
DTS Neural:X™ retrieves spacial cues from standard multichannel formats and upmixes for a 3D soundtrack that’s virtually identical to a native DTS:X source, giving your existing Blu-ray library a new lease on life.
