TX-NR808 7.2-Channel Network A/V Receiver
The Heart and Soul of Networked Home Entertainment
Meet Onkyo’s mid-range powerhouse. The TX-NR808 earns its prestigious THX
®
Select2 Plus
™
certification by blending the latest
connectivity and processing technology with Onkyo’s renowned amplification prowess. As a network-capable receiver, the TX-NR808 is
your gateway to streaming audio from your PC or internet radio. Other connection highlights include seven HDMI
®
1.4a inputs with 3D
and Audio Return Channel capability; 7.1-multichannel analog inputs for legacy components; a Universal port for Onkyo peripherals; a USB
port for iPod models and flash memory devices; and an analog RGB video input for your PC. Employing two advanced 32-bit DSP chips
and low-jitter 24-bit Burr-Brown DACs, the TX-NR808 effortlessly handles your audio-processing needs. Whether it’s lossless Dolby and
DTS formats on Blu-ray Disc, or new-dimension surround formats from Audyssey and Dolby, your audio signals retain every lifelike nuance.
All things considered, the TX-NR808 is a serious challenger for the middleweight crown.

1.4a Support for 3D Video and Audio Return
Channel
The seven HDMI 1.4a inputs on the TX-NR808 let you simultaneously
connect high-def sources such as a Blu-ray player, a gaming console, and
a cable/satellite tuner. A single output then sends a pristine signal to
your connected high-resolution display. As the latest version of this
connector, HDMI 1.4a adds the exciting possibilities of 3D video and an
Audio Return Channel. 3D video is the next big thing in home
entertainment, with movie, game, and broadcast content on the
increase and 3D-compatible TVs coming to market. The TX-NR808 also
offers the convenience of an Audio Return Channel via HDMI. Audio
content received directly by your HDTV’s tuner can be sent
“upstream” to your A/V receiver, without the need for a separate
S/PDIF audio cable.
PC Audio and Internet Radio via Network Function with
DLNA 1.5 and Windows
®
7 Compatibility
As one of Onkyo’s new breed of receivers that can link directly to the
internet or to your home PC via a local network, the TX-NR808 takes
streaming audio and internet radio to a whole new level. MP3, WMA,
WMA Lossless, FLAC, WAV, Ogg Vorbis, AAC, and LPCM audio files—
whether on your PC or from the internet—can now be played back
through your main system with unprecedented power and fidelity. The
TX-NR808 brings to life a huge array of internet radio channels from
Last.fm, Napster, and vTuner*. As well as being compatible with earlier
platforms, the receiver is compatible with Microsoft’s new Windows 7
platform, which includes the DLNA 1.5-specified “Play To” media-
streaming feature. Another benefit of having the TX-NR808 connected
to the internet is that you can then easily update its firmware.
*Availability of services depends on region.

IIz Add New
Dimensions to Surround Sound
The TX-NR808 handles two new surround-sound technologies from
Audyssey and Dolby that offer exciting new ways to set up the
speakers in your home cinema system. Audyssey DSX lets you
incorporate “front wide” speakers, in place of the usual surround back
speakers, to expand the width of the soundstage. Set up at a
recommended 60° off center, these channels help to produce a more
realistic soundstage and a more immersive listening experience.
Alternatively, Audyssey DSX can reconfigure the TX-NR808’s surround
back channels to deliver “front height” channels. These channels carry
ambient, non-directional audio that adds a new vertical dimension to
your movies and games. Dolby Pro Logic IIz provides a similar front-
height speaker option that likewise works to create a more enveloping
home cinema experience.
THX
®
Select2 Plus
™
Certified
THX Select2 Plus certification is specified for rooms where the screen-
to-seat viewing distance is 3 to 4 meters and the room volume is
around 56 cubic meters. To achieve THX Select2 Plus certification, the
TX-NR808 had to meet the world’s most demanding standards for
home cinema audio quality and performance, and play at reference
volume levels with minimal distortion.
