onkyo-tx-nr818.jpgHaving got both the entry and high-end levels of the AV receiver market sorted, Onkyo are now turning their attentions to does with medium-sized wallets and an eye on a new home cinema upgrade. From the looks of things, their TX-NR818 and TX-NR717 receivers will fit the bill nicely.

Kicking off with the slightly pricier Onkyo TX-NR818 (£999), it’s a network-capable bit of kit with Spotify and Simfy apps built in.

The TX-NR818 offers Audyssey MultEQ XT32 room acoustic correction, using the shape of your room and a mic to tailor the set-up process to its surroundings for best possible audio-quality.

With 7.2 channel support, Audyssey DSX, Dolby Pro Logic IIz and DTS Neo:X decoding, a HQV Vida VHD 1900 video processor for 1080p upscaling and Marvell’s 4K video processor (upconverting HD images making it future-proofed for the coming wave of 4K2K TVs) and ISF video calibration controls, it’s feature-rich enough to challenge much more expensive receivers.

Eight HDMI ports (one being on the front) are found on both receivers, as well as two output sockets for hooking up multiple displays or perhaps a projector.

Available in silver or black, both Onkyo receivers hit stores in May.
