Enjoy the Convenience of Packaged Home Cinema Without Sacrificing Quality
With the HT-S6305 (TX-SR508 7.1-Channel Home Cinema Receiver + HTP-638 5.1-Channel Home Cinema Speaker System), Onkyo offers a choice selection of today’s key home cinema features in a superbly integrated and user-friendly package. Four HDMI® 1.4a inputs take care of your high-def sources and provide compatibility with upcoming 3D video content. Other inputs include a Universal Port for Onkyo peripherals and the UP-A1 dock for your iPhone or iPod. Belying its status as a packaged system, the HT-S6305 brings master-quality HD audio to your living room in the form of lossless Dolby and DTS codecs. What’s more, if you complement the included five-speaker set with two extra satellites, you have the option of powered audio in a second room or the immersive “front height” channels of Dolby® ProLogic® IIz. During speaker set-up, a full suite of Audyssey equalization and roomcorrection technologies ensure a properly balanced soundstage and an enveloping presentation. And when you need to fine-tune A/V settings on the fly, Onkyo’s new overlaid on-screen display makes it easy and seamless. The bedrock underpinning it all is Onkyo’s hallmark high-current power supply and precision-honed WRAT amplification.

At Onkyo, our mission is to deliver outstanding audio and video quality to your home, no matter what budget you’re on. With the 7.1-channel TX-SR508, you get an entry-level home cinema centerpiece built to unleash the potential of your favorite entertainment sources. The TX-SR508 arrives brimming with processing and connectivity features previously unheard of at this level: Four 3D-ready HDMI® 1.4a inputs for connecting your high-definition sources; Studio master-quality HD audio formats from Dolby and DTS; Dolby® Pro Logic® IIz for new surround-sound possibilities; Powered Zone 2 and bi-amping for more speaker flexibility; and a Universal Port and front-side input for connecting peripherals and portable devices. Meanwhile, Audyssey volume and equalization technologies ensure comfortable listening and a room-fitting soundstage. Underpinning it all is decades of Onkyo amplifier expertise in the form of WRAT (Wide Range Amplifier Technology) and a high-current, low-impedance drive.

HDMI® 1.4a Support for 3D Video and Audio Return Channel
The four HDMI 1.4a inputs on the HT-S6305’s A/V receiver let you simultaneously connect high-def sources such as a Blu-ray player, a gaming console, and a cable/satellite tuner. A single output then sends a pristine signal to your connected highresolution display. As the latest version of this connector, HDMI 1.4a adds the exciting possibilities of 3D video and an Audio Return Channel. 3D video is the next big thing in home entertainment, with movie, game, and broadcast content on the increase and 3D-compatible displays on the near horizon. This system also offers the convenience of an Audio Return Channel via HDMI. Audio content received directly by your HDTV’s tuner can be sent “upstream” to the A/V receiver, without the need for a separate S/PDIF audio cable.

Dolby® Pro Logic® IIz Adds New Dimensions to Surround Sound
Although the HT-S6305 package comprises a 5.1-channel speaker set, the included A/V receiver actually handles up to 7.1 speaker channels. By adding two optional satellite speakers, you can take advantage of the front height channels of Dolby Pro Logic IIz. These channels carry ambient, nondirectional audio that helps immerse you even more deeply into your movies and games.

192 kHz/24-Bit Burr-Brown DACs Improve Jitter Performance to Deliver Clearer Sound
High-quality Burr-Brown DACs (PCM1690) work to optimize analog audio performance on the HT-S6305’s A/V receiver. These DACs perform advanced 24-bit signal processing and support sampling rates of up to 192 kHz, while displaying high resistance to clock jitter and offering a 113 dB dynamic range.

Convenient Overlaid On-Screen Display via HDMI
Changing your A/V receiver’s settings is now more seamless than ever, thanks to Onkyo’s new overlaid On-Screen Display (OSD) feature. On-screen set-up menus appear overlaid on the video image you’re watching. This means you can adjust the settings immediately, without having to switch back and forth from a blank screen background.

A Suite of Audyssey Technologies for the Ideal Listening Environment
(1) Audyssey 2EQ™ tailors multi-channel audio for your home cinema speaker set-up by measuring three room positions and applying a resolution filter to the satellite speakers to correct for room acoustics.
(2) Audyssey Dynamic Volume™ automatically compensates for volume fluctuations in different audio content—for example, during commercial breaks—while optimizing the dynamic range.
(3) Audyssey Dynamic EQ™ maintains a consistent bass response, tonal balance, and surround-sound effect at different volume levels, so you can enjoy the natural dynamics of your content regardless of the volume.
