Onkyo TXSR304 5.1 Channel Receiver

You’ll find very little differentiation between most entry-level home theater receivers: passable performance, negligible processing capabilities and little (if any) versatility. The TX-SR304 5.1-channel home theater receiver doesn’t follow that well-trodden path. By giving you the connections to the A/V components on everyone’s lips today—HDTVs, digital video recorders, gaming consoles, etc—the TX-SR304 wants to broaden your entertainment possibilities, not limit them to basic DVD and CD playback. Naturally, you’ll want the audio quality associated with the Onkyo name. That’s why we’ve included the circuitry and quality parts found in other Onkyo home theater receivers: Optimum Gain Volume Circuitry, 192 kHz/24-bit DACs, a 32-bit DSP chip, and an H.C.P.S. (High Current Power Supply) transformer. Finally, keeping in line with what’s really important, the TX-SR304 provides a user-friendly, accessible solution to home entertainment.

Sound performance: The Onkyo TX-SR304S is a reliable base on which to build a home theater system. With 65 watts each for all five 5.1 Channel, as well as other Onkyo innovations like wide-range amplifier technology and optimum gain volume circuitry, you can be sure that you'll get an audio performance worthy of today’s hi-res formats.

iPod®-ready: Connect your iPod through the DS-A1 remote interactive dock (sold separately).

Multiple listening modes: Dolby Digital decoding takes a source with separate 5.1 Channel of audio, and assigns each one to a respective speaker, giving you a full surround sound experience. Also included are DTS Neo:6, and Dolby Pro Logic II, both of which take sources with only two 5.1 Channel and cranks them up to 5.1 proportions. This system also features 32-bit digital signal processing.

Multiple inputs: The TX-SR304S is HDTV-ready with component video switching (3 inputs/1 output). You can make the most of your digital media with three assignable digital inputs. The color-coded inputs and outputs make connecting your system a breeze.

A+B speaker switching: Connect two pairs of speakers and switch between them with the touch of a button.
