CONNECTION FEATURES
7.2-Channel Network A/V Receiver
THX® Select2™ Plus for Reference-Level Sound
Overlaid Menus for Quick Adjustments
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.
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.
Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Streaming Technology
Onkyo’s WRAT (Wide Range Amp Technology) includes
discrete low-negative-feedback amplifiers for punchy, true-tolife sound; closed ground-loop circuits to reduce noise; and high
instantaneous current to counter impedance fluctuations.ThreeStage Inverted Darlington Circuitry is used on all channels to
handle reference-level playback without distorting.
The TX-NR727 connects to the wireless home network
without LAN cables or adapters. Send a huge range of hires, 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.

accurate at the time of publication, but may be subject to change without notice.
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.

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.

video thumbnails of available content. Now you can switch sources
without having to remember what device is connected where.
An Introduction to High-End Sound Quality
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.
