Dolby Atmos & DTS:X – Celebrate A New World Of Sound: Dolby Atmos and DTS:X translate 3D soundtracks from the studio mixing desk to your living room. Sounds are no longer tied to specific channels, and are free to move around and above your audience, placing them at the heart of the action.
Enjoy 3D Sound From Any Speaker Layout: Dolby Atmos Height Virtualizer delivers 3D sound through any listener-level speaker layout. The technology works independently or with the Dolby Surround® upmixer to create a 3D sound-field.
Dirac Live® Room Correction: Dirac Live analyses your audio system and listening environment by examining acoustic data measured by microphone and detecting deficiencies. It corrects both the timing and amplitude aspects of sound colorations using a mixed-phase correction filter throughout the listening area, not just a particular zone. Dirac Live automatically calibrates sound in your room using a smartphone or tablet* application and setup mic. Dirac Live unlocks your loudspeakers' full potential in any listening space and delivers a uniquely pristine listening experience.
*Device must be connected to the internet and the same network as your AVR.
5 GHz/2.4 GHz Dual-Band Wi-Fi® supports the 802.11ac Standard*: A powerful quad-core SoC (System on a Chip) performs multiple processing tasks at once. It evolves network functions and supports the 802.11ac (2x2 MIMO) standard for stable multi-room audio streaming.
*Note: some countries or regions have regulations that affect wireless signal strength and the use of Wi-Fi channels.
Clearer Dialogue at the Touch of a Button: Vocal Enhancer solves the problem of inaudible dialogue in movies and TV programs by using DSP algorithms to elevate vocal frequencies in the soundtrack. The effect level can be raised or lowered using keys on the remote control.
AccuEQ with AccuReflex™: AccuEQ detects speaker size, crossover frequency, and distance from the listening position and sets sound-pressure levels appropriate to their location. It selects the ideal crossover for the subwoofers and applies EQ to all speakers including the subs. AccuReflex optimizes 3D sound through Dolby Atmos-enabled speakers by resolving phase-shift arising from differences in directional and non-directional sound-paths. The result is a clear and cohesive sound-field.
Bi-Directional Bluetooth® Wireless Technology: This AVR can send and receive audio via Bluetooth wireless technology. Stream from your device to the receiver using SBC or AAC codecs, or transmit audio playing through the AVR to compatible wireless headphones using SBC, aptX™, or aptX HD codecs including 24-bit audio over aptX HD.
Note: supports MAIN Zone source transmission (excludes Chromecast built-in and Works with Alexa). Lossless 24-bit audio requires headphones supporting aptX HD.
Three-Zone Whole Home Audio: Manage playback in up to three rooms using the Onkyo Controller app. This 9.2-ch AVR has a Zone 2 DAC supporting amplified D/A audio distribution (including HDMI, SPDIF, and NET) via Zone 2 and Zone 3 speaker posts, and supports layouts including 5.2.2-ch Main + Zone 2 or 5.2-ch + Zone 2 + Zone 3.
Note: Zone 3 supports analogue/NET only. Zone 2 HDMI audio available on inputs 1–3. HDMI and SPDIF support 2-ch PCM audio signals only.

Our Take
High-performance home theatre is a wonderful thing. Onkyo is focused on providing a memorable A/V experience without totally wiping out your wallet, and it looks like they've hit a home run with the TX-NR7100. For starters, all six of its rear-panel HDMI inputs support crisp 4K/120 video content. (The front-panel HDMI input supports 4K/60 video content.) It also has nine channels of built-in amplification, making it one of the most affordable receivers capable of driving a 5.1.4-channel Dolby Atmos system. Add in built-in support for Sonos, THX certification, the latest video game processing technology, and Bluetooth streaming to your headphones (night owls, rejoice!), and you've got one heck of an A/V value on your hands.
The TX-NR7100 isn't just great for watching movies - it's terrific with music, too. Stream tunes from your phone or tablet via Bluetooth or Apple AirPlay 2. Play your collection of digital music files over your Wi-Fi network. Or use the built-in phono input for your turntable. You can even play high-resolution tracks from a USB drive. If you're a Sonos fan, you'll be glad this Onkyo receiver easily integrates into your Sonos multi-room music system. Just add a Sonos Port, and you can send any music or audio source from the Sonos app to the receiver. When you fire it up in the app, the receiver automatically turns itself on and switches to the correct input.
The TX-NR7100 uses Dirac Live audio calibration - one of the industry's best room correction platforms. It measures the acoustics of your room with the included microphone, and then fine-tunes the output of your system to best match the unique sonic characteristics of your space.
