To achieve THX certification, the TX-NR717 had to meet the most demanding standards for home cinema audio quality and performance. Access Endless Music Possibilities Onkyo network receivers, which are also wireless LAN ready, have access to the most internet music content services, including: Pandora®, Slacker™, SIRIUS XM®, Last.fm, vTuner, Rhapsody, Spotify, and AUPEO!. You can even connect to DLNA servers on your network. Internet connectivity also makes firmware updates simpler than ever. Easy, Live Source Selection InstaPrevue visual port management technology makes source selection much easier. InstaPrevue provides a live video thumbnail of the available content on your devices connected via HDMI. You no longer have to remember that your gaming console is connected to Port 3, or your BD player to Port 1, for example- you can see what's playing and choose accordingly. Watch Your Smartphone Content on TV The front-panel HDMI port is designed for the connection of mobile phones and other portable electronic devices using the new MHL standard. MHL allows you to display full 1080p video and still images on your HDTV with up to 7.1 channels of surround sound. Use the receiver's remote to control playback from your phone as it receives a handy recharge. Free Apps: Seamless Control & Streaming The Onkyo Remote App 2 for iPod touch/iPhone∗¹ and Onkyo Remote for Android∗² and Kindle Fire provide an intuitive way to operate Onkyo network A/V receivers. Control input sources, adjust settings, and play audio stored in your device wirelessly (Android and Kindle Fire only) -even across multiple zones. The remote apps are available separately as free downloads. Powered Zone 2/3 and Zone 2/3 Line-Outs You can assign its Front High or Front Wide channel outputs to power speakers in two other rooms of your home. You can play music in the main room and Zone 2- or, alternatively, Zone 3- at the same time, or play a different audio source in either room. Use your stereo amp to power one of the rooms and enjoy any audio source from the receiver in all three zones simultaneously, controllable with Onkyo Remote Apps for iPhone and Android phone, and Kindle Fire. Integrated house-wide entertainment is now a reality. Audyssey DSX and Dolby Pro Logic IIz for Three-Dimensional Surround Sound Surround sound technologies from Audyssey and Dolby offer you a choice of home theater setups. Audyssey DSX can expand 5.1 sources to incorporate Wide or Height channels, while the Dolby system adds Height channels. Dolby Pro Logic IIz can also expand stereo sources such as music or TV programs. Subtle directional and ambient effects are brought out through these 7-channel setups, making your sonic experience even more realistic experience. Audyssey Room Correction: You'll Hear The Difference Audyssey 2EQ tailors multi-channel audio for your home theater speaker set-up by measuring room positions and applying a filter to the speakers to correct for room acoustics. It 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. It also automatically compensates for volume fluctuations in different audio content- for example, during commercial breaks- while optimizing the dynamic range. 4k Upscaling : Astoundingly Accurate Detail On a compatible 4K wide-screen display, this receiver will upscale standard video sources, making your Blu-rays and DVDs pop with more cinematic detail than ever before. The versatile Qdeo video processor uses algorithms to enlarge to 4k the video you're playing, while also erasing video jaggies and feathering. The results are dazzlingly detailed images. Save Power With Hybrid Standby Hybrid Standby provides 'HDMI through' functionality while the receiver sleeps, so you don't have to fully power up to watch a Blu-ray or play a game using just your TV's sound. The receiver also maintains a local network connection when on Hybrid Standby mode, so you can switch the unit on at any time using the Onkyo remote apps for iPod touch/iPhone, Android, and Kindle Fire. The Onkyo remote is preset to control Apple TV. Have an Apple TV? Use it with your Onkyo Network AVR. It's all integrated, and it all works together beautifully. Direct Digital Connection: The Cleanest Your iPod Can Sound The front-panel USB port lets you play MP3 and AAC stored in an iPod/iPhone, and MP3, WMA, AAC, and FLAC audio files stored on a flash-memory device, and you can use the system's own remote for track selection and playback. Your music will sound much cleaner and clearer, as the audio signal is transported in digital rather than analog form through the direct digital connection.
