TX - NR5000E
WITNESS THE NEXT GENERATION
OF USER INTERFACE
While the size and features of the TX-NR5000E may be ominous, the user interface will calm the fears of even the most
technophobe of us. Simple and ergonomically designed, the onscreen menus, technologically advanced yet easy-to-use
remote control and features may sound intimidating but in reality are more convenient than ever before.
The TX-NR5000E–truly the receiver for everyone.
HDMI
(High-Definition Multimedia Interface)
The latest in digital interface technology
is here and it goes by the name of HDMI
(High-Definition Multimedia Interface).
Unparalleled amounts of compress-
ed or uncompressed digital audio
and video–up to 5 Gbps of data–
can be handled with just one high-
speed cable.
i.LINK
(a.k.a. IEEE 1394)
The reduction of up to six analogue cables to one single
digital cable capable of carrying multi-channel audio is
here. i.LINK (a.k.a. IEEE 1394) provides the high-bandwidth,
high-resolution signal transfer of audio that multi-
channel formats like DVD-Audio and Super Audio
CD have been waiting for. Even better, content
stays in the pure digital realm as there are no
unnecessary D/A or A/D conversions performed.
Experience the pure digital multi-channel music
experience you've been waiting for.
NET-TUNE
The TX-NR5000E is part of the only line-up of receivers on
the market to feature networking capability. With ONKYO's
exclusive Net-Tune protocol, your home cinema receiver
makes the transition from home entertainment to home net-
work. Via a 100-Base-TX DHCP enabled broadband router,
the musical possibilities are virtually endless. First, free
those music files on your computer from the limitation of
underperforming speakers. Turn your computer into a
hard disk server with the Net-Tune Central media distribution
software and then stream MP3, WAV or WMA files to the
TX-NR5000E and through your home cinema speakers.
Second, bring a world of music into your home with Internet
radio. With a broadband Internet connection, you'll have
radio stations from around the world at your fingertips. All
of this music potential means nothing if you can't get to it.
Using the Net-Tune Central software you can access artists,
genres, albums, playlists or individual tracks on your com-
puter or different regions and genres for Internet radio with
the on-screen display capability. Don't worry if you don't
have the TV on, you can also utilize the large display on the
front of the TX-NR5000E. Now you can listen to the kind of
music you want, when you want.
SPEAKER A AND B MODE FOR 7.1-CHANNELS
Surround sound doesn't need to be left in one room when you
go into another. Take a look at the rear of the TX-NR5000E
and you're sure to notice not one but two rows of seven-
channel speaker terminals. This allows you to output 7.1-
channels from the same source in two separate rooms.
Set your receiver for Speaker A Mode and enjoy. Time to
move? Set your receiver to Speaker B Mode and the output
to Speaker A will be switched to your other room with a
7.1-channel speaker set-up so that you can continue your
listening pleasure.
BTL AND BI-WIRING CONNECTABILITY
FOR FL/FR WITH SBR/SBL
While a 7.1-channel system is the aim for most home cinema
aficionados certain limiting factors–space, significant others,
etc.–are the reality today. In other 5.1-channel home cinema
systems, the surround back right (SBR) and surround back
left (SBL) channel amplifiers are often left unused. Not
with Onkyo engineering. Our engineers give you BTL and
Bi-Wiring Connectability for FL/FR with SBR/SBL. By
switching on this mode, the power of the surround back
amps (SBR/SBL) is added to the front left (FL) and front
right (FR) speakers for 200 watts of total power for the
fronts. Your mother would be proud for not letting anything
go to waste.
