2014 NEW PRODUCT RELEASE
BLACK
Spellbinding Entertainment, However You Like It
Destined to intoxicate hi- enthusiasts as much as hardcore lm and game lovers, the TX-NR838 Network A/V Receiver combines pure analog
power with the latest in high-resolution audio and video processing. This heavyweight receiver is built around Onkyo’s “Emotion, Delivered” high-
current amplication concept with a massive customized transformer and discrete Three-Stage Inverted Darlington Circuitry. Hi- credentials
are cemented with Pure Direct Analog Path, a selectable mode that shuts down all digital circuitry when you’re listening to LPs or other high-
quality audio sources. Signals are routed via the phono or analog inputs to the amps for pristine sound that’s completely free of digital noise.
Devotees of high-resolution, meanwhile, can stream their network-attached 5.6 MHz DSD or 192/24 hi-res albums using the remote app, while
listeners seeking an instant x can enjoy music from smartphone via inbuilt Wi-Fi
®
and Bluetooth. The TX-NR838 is also packed full of cutting-
edge features for movies and gaming, with 4K/60 Hz-ready HDMI
®
terminals, HDCP 2.2 compatibility for future Ultra HD premium content, and
the sheer power you need for a convincing surround-sound experience.
