For those seeking the ultimate home theatre experience, the state-of-the-art Onkyo TX-RZ730 and TX-RZ830 9.2 channel surround sound AV receivers deliver flawless, wireless multi-room audio and effortless 4K HDR imagery.

Works With SONOS® certification allows the TX-RZ730 and TX-RZ830 9.2 channel AV receivers to be seamlessly integrated into a new or existing SONOS® Home Sound System. Users can seamlessly stream music through SONOS Connect. Following a recent firmware update, users can pre-set volumes to be controlled exclusively for SONOS input, creating the ultimate multi-room audio set-up.

Both receivers deliver THX Certified Select™ cinema reference sound and can reproduce Dolby Atmos® and DTS:X soundtracks. Audio can be delivered to hi-fi and speaker systems in multiple rooms using zone 2 speaker outputs and zone 3 pre/line-outs allowing users to enjoy quality audio throughout the home.

Chromecast built-in and AirPlay built-in allows effortless streaming through Chromecast and AirPlay enabled apps via a smartphone or tablet. Users can control playback via smart speakers using voice control featuring Google Assistant, such as Google Home. Using the Onkyo Music Control App, users can access Amazon Music while TIDAL, TuneIn, Deezer, and Spotify are easily enjoyed via the Onkyo Controller app. The free-to-download app presents local and network audio for streaming together with remote-control functionality in a smooth and responsive interface.

DTS Play-Fi® technology enables high-quality audio playback from online music streaming services, media servers and mobile devices to any number of compatible products and using the Onkyo Music Control App, users can sync audio in multiple rooms, and enable multi user control.

FlareConnect ™ technology shares audio from network sources and external audio inputs between compatible components allowing users to enjoy effortless multi-room playback of LP records, CDs, network music services with supported speaker systems. Pure analog enthusiasts are treated to a discrete low-noise phono pre-amplifier for turntable connection. 

The TX-RZ730 and TX-RZ830 are ready for the latest premium content with HDMI® pass-through of HDR10, HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma), and Dolby Vision™ formats as well as 4K/60p, BT.2020, 4:4:4, 24-bit, and HDCP 2.2-protected video. Six rear HDMI inputs, Main Out, Zone 2 Out (Sub Out on the TX-RZ730), and a front HDMI input are included on both models.

The TX-RZ730 and TX-RZ830 feature AccuEQ Advance room acoustic calibration technology. As well as setting parameters such as speaker distance, SP level, and crossover, AccuEQ Advance uses multi-point measurement to eliminate standing waves from the listening space. The technology also detects and compensates for subtle background noise, such as the hum of HVAC, to ensure accurate equalisation. AccuReflex™ technology aligns the phase of directional and non-directional sounds for comfortable playback through Dolby Atmos-enabled speaker systems.

Both receivers feature Dolby Surround and DTS Neural:X™ upmixing solutions. These cross-compatible technologies remap legacy soundtracks commonly encoded on DVD, Blu-ray Disc™, and streaming video, unbinding the sound from the channel bed for spatial playback through any speaker layout to create a highly realistic listening environment.
