-Onkyo PRSC5509 AV Processor Pre Amp

Boasting the premium quality assurance of THX® Ultra2 Plus™, the Onkyo PR-SC5509 AV Network Receiver is the ultimate conduit for all your music, games, and movies. Whether from a Blu-ray or SACD player, from your PC or the web, from a game console or an iPhone, your entertainment is brought stunningly to life. Eight HDMI® inputs for high-definition formats such as 3D video and lossless audio and an Ethernet jack for home-network audio make system integration a breeze. HDMI terminals, 9.2-channel XLR outs, and stereo XLR inputs are gold-plated for pristine signal transfer. Further evidence of audiophile build quality comes in the form of a customized toroidal transformer, separate audio/video transformers, and an anti-vibration chassis. Processing is also top-notch. For video, an HQV® Vida™ processor and Qdeo™ technology work to eliminate noise and upscale video to eye-popping 4K resolution. On the audio side, Audyssey MultEQ® XT32 and DTS Neo:X™ offer incredible flexibility for creating an immersive room-matching soundstage. Partnered with a high-end 9-channel power amp and surround speakers, the PR-SC5509 keeps the high-quality entertainment flowing.

The Onkyo Remote App for iPod touch/iPhone*1 and the Onkyo Remote App for Android*2 both provide an intuitive way to operate Onkyo network A/V receivers. At your fingertips, you have the ability to control input sources, adjust settings, and enjoy your content more seamlessly than ever. The two Remote Apps are available separately as free downloads.

The Onkyo PR SC5509 features separate aluminium panels for the sides and front to reduce unwanted vibrations caused by internal resonance. Compared to a one-piece chassis design, this construction method offers greater rigidity and improved noise reduction.

Linking directly to the internet or to a media server or home PC via a local network, the Onkyo PRSC5509 Controller takes streaming audio and internet radio to a whole new level. MP3, WMA, WMA Lossless, FLAC, WAV, Ogg Vorbis, AAC, and LPCM audio files can now be played back through your main system with unprecedented power and fidelity. The PR-SC5509 also brings to life a huge array of internet radio channels from Last.fm and vTuner, plus on-demand music streaming from Napster, Spotify, and AUPEO!*. As well as being compatible with earlier platforms, the receiver is compatible with Microsoft's Windows® 7 platform, which includes the DLNA 1.5-specified "Play To" media-streaming feature. The PR-SC5509's internet connectivity has the added benefit of making firmware updates simpler than ever.

The Onkyo PR-SC5509 employs Qdeo technology from Marvell to achieve full 4K (3840 x 2160) upscaling of 1080p video sources-even sources that have been upscaled to 1080p from lower resolutions by on-board HQV Vida technology. Played back on a compatible wide-screen display, your Blu-ray Discs and other high-def content will look more detailed and cinematic than ever.

The Onkyo PR-SC5509 is one of the first receivers in the world to feature DTS Neo:X, a new technology that offers a multitude of ways to set up the speakers in a 9.1-channel home cinema system. A basic 5.1-channel set-up can be complemented by one of three different arrangements: (1) You can add surround back and front-height speakers to bring out ambient, non-directional sounds; (2) You can add surround back and front-wide speakers to provide a more expansive soundstage; or (3) You can add front-height and front-width speakers to create an immersive space without needing to install rear speakers.
