Advanced MCACC Auto Room Tuning featuring Auto Phase Control Plus
Advanced MCACC adjusts the sound according to the listening room and speakers, and also creates clearer sound by suppressing the standing waves that occur between walls or ceiling and floor. Measurement of up to nine positions can be saved for a wide listening area. Auto Phase Control Plus* makes real-time analysis of the phase difference, and automatically compensates the gap between the LFE and main signals, providing strong bass and clear high-frequency sound.
Works with Sonos
This Onkyo receiver can join your existing Sonos Home Sound System, or be the start of a new one, just by pairing it with a Sonos Connect*. The AVR ties into the Sonos ecosystem, waking, changing inputs, and playing at the desired volume on command from the Sonos app*.
Zone B Output for Wireless Headphones
You can listen to the sound playing in the living room via wireless headphones.
Chromecast built-in
You can use your mobile device to stream your favorite music, radio, or podcasts to the receiver. You can also control the audio from anywhere in the house using Chromecast-enabled apps running on your personal device such as an iPhone, iPad, Android phone and tablet, Mac and Windows laptop, and Chromebook.
Powered Zone 2/Zone 3
With the powered feature, this can directly drive speakers in other rooms, without the need for a separate amplifier. What’s more, the dedicated DAC for Zone 2 lets you listen to all digital audio sources.
