table border="0"tbodytrtdThe HT-S9300THX is that rare receiver/speaker system that combines all-in-one convenience with the quality assurance of THX. With Onkyo, you can take it for granted that you’ll be getting a smart amalgam of the latest processing and connectivity features. But what really sets the HT-S9300THX apart from other package systems is the sheer quality of the speakers. All seven of the front, center, surround, and surround back speakers feature woofer diaphragms made with Onkyo’s advanced A-OMF material. Driving the system is an A/V receiver that brings together a hand-picked selection of today’s most vital home entertainment technologies. Burr-Brown audio DACs work alongside PLL jitter-cleaning circuitry to get the best out of lossless Dolby and DTS formats, as well as the expanded height channels of Dolby Pro Logic IIz. Meanwhile, HDMI 1.4a brings 3D video compatibility, and Faroudja DCDi Cinema enables 1080p upscaling via HDMI of all video sources. Other highlights of this impressive system include powered Zone 2 audio and Audyssey room-correction. style type="text/css" .caption { font-family: Verdana, Helvetica neue, Arial, serif; font-size: 10px; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; } ul.indent { list-style: inside disc; text-indent: -15px; } table.callout { font-family: verdana; font-size: 11px; line-height: 1. 3em; } td.vgoverview { height: 125px; background: #9DC4D8 url(http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/callout-bg.png) repeat-x; border-left: 1px solid #999999; border-right: 1px solid #999999; padding-left: 20px; padding-right: 20px; padding-bottom: 10px; width: 250px; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; } /styleptable align="left" width="194"tbodytrtd valign="top"img align="top" alt="Onkyo logo" border="0" height="42" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page2/B003SE6GIA.logo.184.jpg" title="Onkyo logo" width="184" //td/tr/tbody/tabletable align="right" cellpadding="10" width="400"tbodytrtd height="127" valign="top"div align="center"img align="top" alt="Onkyo HT-S9300THX THX Certified 7.1 Channel Home Theater Receiver/Speaker Package" border="0" height="108" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page2/B003SE6GIA.04.sm.jpg" title="Onkyo HT-S9300THX THX Certified 7.1 Channel Home Theater Receiver/Speaker Package" width="400" /br /span class="caption"Affordable THX certified quality in an all-in-one receiver-speaker package.br / View larger./span/div/td/tr/tbody/tablestrongTHX Certified Processing for Music, Movies, and Gaming/strongbr / THX Integrated System (I/S) Plus is a category for home theater systems that ensures full-blown THX performance and state-of-the-art technologies in an affordable, all-in-one receiver-speaker package. Geared to gamers and budding audiophiles, THX I/S Plus systems are ideal for small home theaters where the screen-to-seat viewing distance is approximately eight feet. All components within the system—the receiver, speakers, and amplifier—are tested by THX to make sure they work harmoniously together. In addition to THX certification, each system comes with THX Surround EX; THX listening modes for music, movies, and games; and THX Loudness Plus, a volume-control technology for low-volume listening./pptable align="left" cellpadding="10" width="75"tbodytrtd height="324" valign="top"div align="center"img align="top" alt="RI remote controller included with the Onkyo HT-S9300THX THX Certified 7.1 Channel Home Theater Receiver/Speaker Package" border="0" height="254" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page2/B003SE6GIA.03.sm.jpg" title="RI remote controller included with the Onkyo HT-S9300THX THX Certified 7.1 Channel Home Theater Receiver/Speaker Package" width="75" /br /span class="caption"Includes an all-in-one remote.br / View larger./span/div/td/tr/tbody/tablestrongHDMI 1.4a Support for 3D Video and Audio Return Channel/strongbr / The four HDMI 1.4a inputs on the HT-S9300THX’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 high resolution 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 TVs coming to market. 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./ppstrongHDMI Video Upscaling to 1080p with Faroudja Dcdi Cinema/strongbr / When it comes to video processing, the Faroudja Dcdi Cinema (Directional Correlational Deinterlacing) video processor offers several advantages. This processor can accept any video signal, regardless of the source resolution, and upscale it to 1080p to match the native resolution of your high-definition display. What’s more, Dcdi Cinema effectively removes video artifacts such as jagged edges during the video signal deinterlacing process. You get to enjoy smooth progressive scan video images, even for fast-moving sports and action scenes./ppstrongDolby Pro Logic IIz Adds New Dimensions to Surround Sound/strongbr / On the HT-S9300THX’s A/V receiver, Dolby Pro Logic IIz enables you to incorporate two "front height speakers into your surround-sound set-up as an alternative to the two surround back speakers. The front height channels carry ambient, nondirectional audio that helps immerse you even more deeply into your movies and games./ppstrongA-OMF (Advanced Onkyo Micro Fiber) Diaphragm/strongbr / Onkyo’s proprietary A-OMF diaphragms incorporate a PEN (polyethylene naphthalate) layer with a flexible cotton weave that helps to make them stronger and more resistant to heat. Speakers using this diaphragm type achieve improved mid-range clarity and imaging, which in turn produces an astonishingly vivid, natural sound./pptable align="right" cellpadding="10" width="400"tbodytrtd height="134" valign="top"div align="center"img align="top" alt="Front view of the HT-R980 receiver included with the Onkyo HT-S9300THX THX Certified 7.1 Channel Home Theater Receiver/Speaker Package" border="0" height="141" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page2/B003SE6GIA.01.sm.jpg" title="Front view of the HT-R980 receiver included with the Onkyo HT-S9300THX THX Certified 7.1 Channel Home Theater Receiver/Speaker Package" width="400" /br /span class="caption"Sleek, classic receiver styling with easy access to functionality.br / View larger./span/div/td/trtrtd height="162" valign="top"div align="center"img align="top" alt="Back view of the HT-R980 receiver included with the Onkyo HT-S9300THX THX Certified 7.1 Channel Home Theater Receiver/Speaker Package" border="0" height="115" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page2/B003SE6GIA.02.sm.jpg" title="Back view of the HT-R980 receiver included with the Onkyo HT-S9300THX THX Certified 7.1 Channel Home Theater Receiver/Speaker Package" width="400" /br /span class="caption"130 Watts of power available on each channel, along with access to 4 HDMI inputs (1 out), component video and more.br / View larger./span/div/td/tr/tbody/tablestrongKey Features/strong/pullispan style="text-decoration: underline;"HT-R980 7.1-Channel Home Theater Receiver/spanulli130 Watts per channel at 6 Ohms, 1 kHz, 1%, 1 channel driven/liliTHX I/S Plus certified/liliTHX Loudness Plus, THX Surround EX, and THX listening modes (movies, music, games)/liliHDMI (version 1.4a to support 3D and audio return channel) with Deep Color, x.v.Color, LipSync, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio, DVDAudio, Super Audio CD, Multichannel PCM, and CEC/liliDolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio, Dolby Digital Plus, DTS-HD High-Resolution Audio Decoding/liliHDMI video upscaling to 1080p with Faroudja Dcdi Cinema/liliDolby Pro Logic IIz for new surround channels/liliBurr-Brown 192 kHz/24-Bit DACs (PCM1690) for all channels/liliThree-stage inverted Darlington circuitry/liliPLL jitter-cleaning circuit technology/liliAudyssey 2EQ for room acoustic correction/liliAudyssey Dynamic EQ for loudness correction/liliAudyssey Dynamic Volume/liliPowered Zone 2 and Zone 2 line-out for playback of separate source in another room/liliOverlaid graphical on-screen display (OSD) via HDMI/liliWRAT (Wide Range Amplifier Technology)/liliH.C.P.S.
