 Select2

™

 Plus for Reference-Level Sound

To be awarded THX Select2 Plus certification—the most 
rigorous performance benchmark for this type of product—
the home cinema receiver must play at studio reference 
volume levels with minimal distortion. Select2 Plus is 
specified for screen-to-seat distances of three to four meters 
and room volumes of about 56 cubic meters. 

Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Streaming Technology

The TX-NR727 connects to the wireless home network 
without LAN cables or adapters. Send a huge range of hi-
res, lossless, and compressed files to your home cinema 
from smartphone, PC, tablet, NAS, and online sources using 
our remote control app. Or pair devices for quality wireless 
streaming using the built-in Bluetooth technology.

Music Streaming and Internet Radio Services

The TX-NR727 comes preloaded with popular music 
streaming and internet radio services including Spotify, Last.
fm, and TuneIn Radio. They’re easily selectable using the 
receiver’s GUI or the remote control app. Explore more than 
10,000 radio stations and enjoy albums and playlists with 
theater-fidelity sound.

HDMI

®

 for High Resolution Playback

The TX-NR727 features eight HDMI inputs to accept hi-res 
content from your media players and gaming consoles. HDMI 
enables Dolby

®

 TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio

™

 audio 

formats, and supports 3D video. Two outputs are included to 
connect your HDTV and video projector.

Supports 4K Video Content

With 4K televisions, media players, and projectors hitting the 
market, it’s reassuring to know your A/V receiver is compatible 
with this new technology. Passthrough of native 4K from 
source devices to an appropriate display is supported. 

4K Video Upscaling via Qdeo

™

 Technology

The TX-NR727 uses Qdeo

™

 technology from Marvell to 

upscale standard video sources to brilliantly smooth 1080p (for 
regular HDTVs) and to an incredible 4K on compatible displays.

MHL

™

 for Mobile Phones and Tablets

A frontside HDMI/MHL terminal is included to connect 
smartphones and other electronic devices. MHL allows you 
to display 1080p video and other media on your HDTV with 
7.1 channels of surround sound.

Quick and Easy Remote App Control

Our remote apps for iPhone and Android devices offer a 
convenient way to control your entertainment from anywhere 
within wireless range. The app offers a clear interface for 
managing content, settings, and playback across multiple zones.

Hassle-Free Video  Switching

Switching between games, movies, and cable TV should be easy. 
InstaPrevue

™

 technology names your HDMI devices and displays 

video thumbnails of available content. Now you can switch sources 
without having to remember what device is connected where.

Overlaid Menus for Quick Adjustments

Touch the Quick Set-Up button on your remote to overlay 
menus in-program. You can now access useful settings 
without interruption to your viewing. The Home Menu, 
meanwhile, offers simple icons for choosing a media source, 
and more detailed system adjustment.

An Introduction to High-End Sound Quality

Onkyo’s WRAT (Wide Range Amp Technology) includes 
discrete low-negative-feedback amplifiers for punchy, true-to-
life sound; closed ground-loop circuits to reduce noise; and high 
instantaneous current to counter impedance fluctuations. Three-
Stage Inverted Darlington Circuitry is used on all channels to 
handle reference-level playback without distorting.

Audyssey MultEQ

®

MultEQ equalizes your system to suit the unique shape of 
your room. Measuring six listening positions, MultEQ applies 
filters to satellites and subwoofers to create a perfectly 
balanced soundstage. 

Audyssey Dynamic EQ

®

Dynamic EQ solves the problem of deteriorating sound 
quality at low volume. It selects the best frequency response 
and surround levels moment-by-moment, resulting in an 
optimal listening experience at any volume.

Audyssey  Dynamic Volume

®

Audyssey  Dynamic Volume

®

 compensates for volume 

fluctuations in different audio content—for example, during 
noisy commercial breaks—and adjusts the volume in real time.

Audyssey DSX

®

 and Dolby

®

 Pro Logic

®

 IIz for 

Expanded Surround Sound

Audyssey DSX lets you augment your setup with two Front 
Wide channels, expanding the width of the soundstage, or 
two Front Height speakers to add a vertical dimension to 
movies and games. Dolby Pro Logic IIz offers Front Height 
channels with 7.1-channel upmixing from stereo sources.

App-Controllable Multi-Zone Audio

The TX-NR727 features Powered Zone 2 outputs and Zone 
2/3 line-outs. This lets you assign two channels to power audio 
in a room equipped with speakers. An existing hi-fi system in a 
third room can also be connected via the line-out, enabling the 
use of the A/V receiver as a pre-amp and audio server. Control 
content in all three zones via remote app; play the same song 
in all zones; or enjoy a different song in every room.

Phase-Matching Bass Enhancement

Onkyo’s PM Bass optimizes low frequencies while preserving 
mid-range clarity. It counters phase shifting (which can affect 
sound quality) by synchronizing frequency timing. The result is 
deep, well-defined bass that won’t overwhelm vocals or strings.

Hybrid Standby Power-Saving Mode

HDMI passthrough and network connectivity are maintained 
while the receiver is powered down. This facilitates use of 
your TV and other devices without turning on the receiver.
