The TX-SR494DAB intensifies your Dolby Atmos and DTS:X experience. Object-based audio is mixed in 3D space and allows any sound to be played through any speaker, tracking the action, locating effects and moving around it. Dolby Surround and DTS Neural:X complement native 3D audio playback.
These technologies find location cues in legacy stereo or multi-channel sound tracks and fuse these elements to create immersive top-to-bottom dimensionality.
When playing any Dolby format, the engaging Dolby Atmos Height Virtualizer enables a more immersive listening experience, creating a virtual surround and height effect from traditional speaker designs without the need for additional surround or height speakers.
DTS Virtual:X is a new surround sound virtualization technology that creates an immersive 3D sound field from any speaker layout, including 2.1, 3.1, 5.1 and 7.1 configurations without height, surround or rear speakers.
It uses sophisticated DSP-based algorithms to place listeners at the center of a multi-dimensional surround and height sound field, and is equally effective in both large and small spaces. DTS Virtual:X works in the 3D domain with DTS:X soundtracks, DTS formats, and unencoded stereo.
Enjoy full support for 4K/60p and HDR (high dynamic range) video formats including HDR10, HLG, Dolby Vision and BT.2020. It also supports 4:4:4 color space.
Four HDMI jacks and ARC-ready output pass video from the player to your compatible TV, unlocking everything the latest movies and games have to offer. You can easily confirm the A/V input/output status through a new OSD window.
AccuEQ ambient sound calibration creates a harmonious ambient sound field. Detects the presence, size and distance of speakers from a measurement position and adjusts appropriate sound pressure levels. Next, select the ideal subwoofer crossover and apply EQ to all speakers. AccuReflex technology optimizes object-based audio playback through Dolby Atmos-enabled speakers.
Resolves the phase shift that arises from track differences between directional and non-directional sounds. Along with better localization, a 3D field with vertical movement and height dimensionality is produced.
A fantastic addition to the TX-SR494DAB is a Zone B pre/line output. Connect a component with an RCA analog line jack to audio sources available to the receiver, including HDMI and digital audio.
Share sound with hi-fi equipment in a nearby space or connect a compatible charging port for wireless headphones and enjoy without disturbing anyone.
The Height/Surround Back/Bi-Amp/Zone B speaker outputs can drive stereo speakers in another room with a 5.2 channel configuration in the main room. The outputs can share any AVR source exclusively in Zone B or play the same source in Main and Zone B. Alternatively, you can bi-amplify your pair of compatible front speakers.
Any audio played on your phone, tablet or PC app can be streamed to the TX-SR494DAB via Bluetooth wireless technology. Once the receiver has paired and remembered your device, it will automatically start playback whenever it detects an incoming Bluetooth audio stream.
When an audio file is compressed to a small format (such as MP3), high-frequency data is lost. This may affect the sound quality. Onkyo 's Advanced Music Optimizer DSP listening mode reconstructs missing bit data.
Playback quality is greatly improved while you can enjoy file sizes that suit you best. This mode also optimizes the quality of Bluetooth streaming playback.
