DSP DONE RIGHT
Some manufacturers produce different digital signal process-
ing (DSP) modes by adding variations to the reverberation
sound just to increase the total number. What you end up
with is a glut of superfluous, seldom-used, gimmicky DSP
modes, that are simply on the spec sheet in a feeble attempt
to be more competitive on the sales floor. Enter ONKYO DSP.
Our engineers, many of whom are trained musicians, dedicat-
ed themselves to one audio objective: psycho-acoustically
accurate, natural effects that match the music source. Based
upon the way humans perceive sound, the TX-NR5000E's
proprietary algorithms are far from marketing gimmicks.
They provide you with extraordinary tweaking flexibility so
you can enhance the way individual recordings sound on
your particular system.
SIMPLE ONSCREEN MENUS
Home cinema receivers are loaded with features. But getting
to the ones you want and adjusting them can be quite a
chore. That's why we designed our NTSC/PAL compatible
onscreen displays to
be as uncomplicated
as possible. A choice
of menus in various
colours make navi-
gating through func-
tions an aesthetically
pleasing experience.
A superimpose mode
lets you easily see the onscreen display over your TV picture.
You can even move the display to different positions on your
TV screen. Or remove it completely, by routing the OSD signal
to a small monitor. That way you can make adjustments with-
out distracting your audience. You shouldn't need a degree
in rocket science to set up your receiver and with the simple,
intuitive menus on the TX-NR5000E, you won't need one.
5 12 V DC TRIGGER OUTPUTS AND
3 IR INPUTS/OUTPUTS
A full set of 12 V triggers and IR inputs/outputs let
you have more control than should be legal by
law. The IR outputs let you operate the major
functions of other RI-compatible components. The
12 V triggers start up the projector, let the screen
down, or fire-up an additional amp to let you start
the show at just the push of one button.
INDIVIDUAL CROSSOVER ADJUSTMENT
Previous receivers have had crossover frequencies fixed at
80 Hz. But the demands and specifications of today's speakers
are ever changing. Now with Individual Crossover Adjustment,
you can set the crossover from 40 –150 Hz in 10 Hz steps
(40Hz, 50 Hz, 60 Hz, etc) depending on your speaker' s bass play-
back ability. This lets you more accurately match the perform-
ance characteristics of the subwoofer to your front speakers.
LARGE, FLUORESCENT, 35-DOT-MATRIX DISPLAY-
WITH 4-MODE DIMMER
Easy to read and use, this dot-matrix display will present all the
information you need to see. It's also dimmable with four differ-
ent modes (Bright/Normal/Low/Off) so you can match the
ambience of any room for maximum home cinema enjoyment.
SOLID ALUMINIUM VOLUME KNOB
Quality you can feel from this solid aluminium volume knob.
You'll find it ergonomically pleasing and convenient for those
quick, in-the-dark level changes.
EASY EVERYDAY USE
Direct-access input buttons on both the remote and front
panel mean you don't have to scroll through endless menus
just to play your DVDs, CDs, videotapes or other sources.
And to take the guesswork out of what format to choose, or
what input to use, your TX-NR5000E will automatically switch
to the proper coaxial/optical digital or analogue input, detect
the audio or surround sound format on your digital or ana-
logue source, and engage it for accurate playback. Best of
all, when you select a source, it remembers the surround
mode, speaker configuration process for that source–so you
can just hit a button, sit back and enjoy the show.
