First Class Audio Technologies and Engineering The Signature Onkyo Sound
Our design philosophy is based on a consideration of how each individual part interacts with the others and affects audio and video performance. The end result is a receiver design where the power amplifier block and the pre-amplifier coexist, but are perfectly isolated. Furthermore, the circuit boards have been affixed to the chassis so that vibrations from the base are suppressed.
At the core of Onkyo's Signature sound is Onkyo's proprietary Wide Range Amplifier Technology (WRAT). This innovative amplifier design is comprised of three key elements: (1) A low negative feedback design for cleaner audio across the frequency range; (2) Closed groundloop circuits to cancel individual circuit noise and keep the ground potential free of distortion; and (3) A high instantaneous–current capability to handle speaker reflex energy and impedance fluctuations.
On the processing side, PLL (Phase Locked Loop) jitter–cleaning technology removes digital pulse noise, while VLSC™ circuits help to create a pristine analog waveform, ready for amplification by Onkyo's efficient Three-Stage Inverted Darlington Circuitry. This abundance of clean power, advanced processing technology and generous build specification are what will drive your home entertainment to previously unimagined heights.
Built To Deliver the Greatest Audio and Video Quality
As part of the THX Ultra2 Plus certification promise, this receiver is designed to deliver the highest audio and video quality for an unsurpassed home cinema experience, from right out of the box. The rigid chassis is made of separate anti-resonant aluminum top and side panels, fitted to reduce vibration.
The unit's main massive toroidal transformer is supported by two discrete transformers dedicated to audio and video processing.
With gold-plated audio terminals and speaker posts, this unit is fastidiously outfitted to audiophile-grade specifications.
Hear Precisely What The Director Intended:
THX Ultra2 Plus Certified
The receiver is the heart of the home theater system, and must also provide transcendent stereo playback for music. As an audio processor, this receiver is unrivalled in its category, and the proof of this is in the THX Ultra2 Plus certification.
THX Ultra2 Plus, the ultimate benchmark for home audio performance, ensures that what you hear through the TX-NR5010 is precisely what was recorded. This certification is specified for rooms in which the screen-to-seat viewing distance is more than 12 feet and the room volume is 3000 cubic feet or greater. This standard also includes a volume control technology that ensures low-level information is preserved when volume is down, so you experience a dynamic presence in every scene without having to control the volume. To achieve this THX certification, the TX-NR5010 had to meet the most demanding standards for home cinema audio quality and performance, and must play at reference volume levels. Access Endless Music Possibilities
This receiver can access your home network via an ethernet cable or optional UWF-1 wireless adapter,and makes streaming online audio easy. Once connected, you can also play music stored on PC or NAS through your home theater system, with MP3, AAC, Apple Lossless, FLAC, and WMA Lossless formats and HD Radio supported. The receiver offers instant access to internet radio channels from Pandora®, Slacker™, SIRIUS XM Internet Radio®, Last.fm, and vTuner, plus cloud-based music streaming from Rhapsody, Spotify, and AUPEO!*.
