Processing 1080p Video and High-Def Surround Sound via HDMI 1.3a*
Incorporating HDMI version 1.3a and advanced processing capabilities, the TX-
NR5007 works as a powerful A/V control center. Seven rear-side HDMI inputs,
along with a convenient front-side one, enable connection of up to eight
components, including Blu-ray Disc players, gaming consoles, and set-top boxes.
The system can then receive and switch high-definition video signals and send a
pristine digital signal to two different output locations— for example, to two
separate high-definition displays. On the audio front,

ISF Video Calibration for Accurate Video Reproduction
The TX-NR5007 comes equipped with industry-leading ISF (Imaging Science
Foundation) video calibration to dramatically improve your home theater by
enabling you to adjust the brightness, hue, contrast, saturation, and gamma
levels on all video inputs. Transforming your A/V receiver into a video hub, this
function ensures that every video source is independently calibrated for your
connected high-definition display. What’s more, ISF video
calibration has been shown to improve energy savings in
displays and projectors by up to 50%.

THX Ultra2 Plus Certified with New THX
®
Loudness Plus
™
Technology
The ultimate benchmark for home audio performance, THX Ultra2 Plus is
specified for rooms where the screen-to-seat viewing distance is more than
4 meters and the room volume is 85 cubic meters or greater. To achieve
THX Ultra2 Plus certification, the TX-NR5007 must meet the world’s most
demanding standards for home theater audio quality and performance, and must
play at reference volume levels with minimal distortion. THX Loudness Plus is a
volume control technology included in THX Ultra2 Plus that compensates for
the tonal and spatial shifts that occur when the volume level is lowered. It
automatically adjusts the levels of ambient sound and bass
frequencies, so you can enjoy the true impact of movies, music,
and games no matter what volume setting you use.

A Fresh Approach to the Internal Construction of A/V Receivers
Our design philosophy for the TX-NR5007 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. As Onkyo’s new flagship model for the high-definition
era, the TX-NR5007 forges further
ahead with gold-plated A/V inputs and
outputs, a brass bus
plate for perfect
grounding, and
customized, gold-plated
speaker posts.

Push-Pull Amplification with Three-Stage Inverted
Darlington Circuitry
Darlington Circuitry
Push-pull amplification uses different transistors to
separately amplify the positive and negative halves
of the waveform. This brings greater efficiency to
the TX-NR5007, which also use three-stage
inverted Darlington circuitry to remove distortion.

Bi-Amping and BTL (Bridged Transless) Capability
Taking a cue from the world of high-end audio, the TX-NR5007 incorporates bi-
amping and BTL capabilities. This allows for a number of different home theater
set-ups beyond the standard surround-sound configurations. Compatible front
speakers can be bi-amped for separate tweeter and woofer inputs. Meanwhile,
BTL enables you to double the power output to compatible front speakers.

BTL enables you to double the power output to compatible front speakers.
Harnessing Power for Audio Performance
Onkyo's H.C.P.S. (High Current Power Supply) concept is based around
power transformers with the capability to respond to the wide dynamics of
home theater. In the case of the TX-NR5007, a massive toroidal transformer
improves power efficiency and radiates very little noise into the surrounding
circuitry, while two separate transformers cater specifically to audio and video
processing. You’ll also find capacitors (operating at up to 22,000 microfarads)
that store the charge necessary to
suppor t an effective power supply, along
with large new custom-designed
transistors to drive high currents.

(Vector Linear Shaping Circuitry)
Onkyo’s VLSC employs a unique digital-to-analog conversion circuit to
mitigate the effects of signal noise. Data is converted between discrete
sampling points, which are
then joined with analog
vectors in real-time to
produce a smooth output
wave form. The result—a
noiseless, smooth analog signal

The cornerstone of any Onkyo A/V receiver, WRAT supports high-quality audio
reproduction of the latest high-definition A/V formats. It comprises three key
elements: (1) A low negative-feedback design for cleaner audio across the
frequency range; (2) Closed ground-loop 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.

Linear Optimum Gain Volume Circuitry
In conventional volume-attenuation methods, the signal comes close to the noise
floor at low volumes and is therefore susceptible to interference. Even if the
amount of noise is minimal, it taints the signal as it is amplified. Onkyo’s Optimum
Gain Volume Circuitry adjusts the gain so that less than half the typical amount
of attenuation is necessary. The signal never comes close to the noise floor,
thereby eliminating the possibility of the noise contamination that plagues
conventional volume-attenuation designs.

Jitter Control Technology for Cleaner Digital Signals
To counteract the impact of jitter on clock timing, the TX-NR5007 employs
Phase Locked Loop (PLL) circuitry, jitter-resistant DACs, and a board design with
signal pathways of uniform length. PLL circuitry works by automatically raising or
lowering the oscillator frequency to match the frequency and phase of the input
signal. By preventing disruption of the digital waveform, PLL helps ensure an
accurate and well-focused analog sound wave.
