Onkyo unleashes TX-NR807 and TX-SR707 A/V receivers sporting Dolby ProLogic IIz and Audyssey DSX

Onkyo TX-NR807 A/V Receiver (Front Panel Closed)

Since Onkyo’s TX-SR607 features Dolby ProLogic IIz, it is only natural that receivers higher up the A/V receiver food chain would also inherit the same thing. Yesterday, Onkyo has announced the availability of the TX-NR807 and TX-SR707.

Tabulated below are the differences between the network-capable TX-NR807 (hence the “NR” designation) and non-network-capable TX-SR707.

Feature	Onkyo TX-NR807	Onkyo TX-SR707
THX Select2 Plus Certified	Yes	Yes
Network-capable	Yes	No
Number of HDMI inputs	6	5
Faroudja DCDi Cinema processor chip	Yes	Yes
Audyssey DSX	Yes	Yes
Dolby ProLogic IIz	Yes	Yes
Power rating	135 watts per channel at 8-ohms	100 watts per channel at 8-ohms
Zone 2 capability	Yes	Yes
Zone 3 capability	Yes	No

Both receivers are pretty much the same in many aspects, with the higher model TX-NR807 overtaking the TX-SR707 in the following areas:

Network capability
Higher power rating
Zone 3 capability
One additional HDMI input
Detachable power cord

The Onkyo TX-NR807 and TX-SR707 are already being shipped to dealers as I write this. They are priced at $1,099 and $899, respectively. Amazon is scheduled to get these beefy-featured A/V receivers by the end of August.
