Onkyo has upgraded its budget 6.1-channel TX-SR502 A/V
receiver with a power increase to 75 Watts per channel, and improved surround
processing, including Dolby ProLogic IIx and DTS-96/24. The model includes a
suite of high-end features, including 6.1 channel processing for Dolby Digital
EX and DTS-ES, and HDTV capable
component video switching. This Onkyo TX-SR502 is currently available, in both
black and silver finishes, at a suggested retail price of just $300.
With the addition of Dolby Laboratory's new ProLogic IIx processing, the Onkyo
TX-SR502 takes the guesswork out of surround processing by automatically
deriving full 6.1-channel audio from absolutely any stereo or multichannel
source. The receiver employs high quality linear PCM 96 kHz/24-bit D/A
converters and a sophisticated
 32-bit
DSP processor for ideal reproduction of soundtracks and multichannel audio.
The TX-SR502 also boasts 50 MHz component video switching, allowing the receiver
to switch high definition video signals without degrading video quality. There
are two component video inputs and one output, four A/V composite inputs and two
outputs with alternate S-Video connections, plus front panel A/V composite and
S-video inputs for convenient connection of portable devices. The receiver has
four assignable digital audio inputs with one coaxial and three optical
connectors, RCA line-level connections for a CD player and audio recorder, and a
subwoofer preamplifier output. There are dual banana-plug-compatible multi-way
speaker binding posts for all main channels with color-coding for simplified
wiring, and front channel "B" terminals for a second set of stereo speakers.
The Onkyo TX-SR502 includes six internal power amplifier channels with
high-current, low-impedance discrete output devices, to deliver a continuous
power output of 75 Watts per channel into 8-Ohm loads. Onkyo's WRAT (Wide Range
Amplifier Technology) gives the power stage a linear frequency response from 10
Hz to 100 kHz to ensure it's up to the challenge of the most demanding audio
sources, such as SACD and DVD-Audio.
The dot-matrix fluorescent front panel display makes setup and operation of the
receiver easy and fast, including variable speaker configuration and distance
settings for simple optimization of any speaker arrangement. With the new
adjustable crossover on the subwoofer pre-out channel, the LFE channel signal
can be cutoff at 60, 80, 100, 120 or 150 Hz, for seamless integration of any
satellite and subwoofer
combination.
The receiver's high quality AM/FM tuner section has 30 random presets, and FM
automatic scan tuning. The included preprogrammed remote control makes system
integration and control simple and convenient.
The TX-SR502 is currently available in either black or silver finish at a
suggested retail price of $300.
