Onkyo TX-SR444 7.1-Channel A/V Receiver

5.1.2 Dolby Atmos

With Dolby Atmos, sound comes alive from all directions, including overhead. The format combines a channel-based audio bed with object-oriented sound to place and move specific effects around the room, creating a breathtakingly realistic and captivating sonic atmosphere.

Sound designers and artists are free to mix in a 3D space, steering effects through surround channels and adding a seamless overhead dimension with discrete height channels.*

Ready for 4K UltraHD

The latest HDMI specification and HDCP 2.2 compatibility support the latest formats and technologies planned for Hollywood content. This latest HDMI spec offers a significant increase in bandwidth (up to 18Gbps) to support new features such as 4K@50/60 (2160p), which is 4 times the clarity of 1080p/60 video resolution, and 4:4:4 color space.

True Power from Discrete Amps

Discrete Amps deliver high instantaneous current to increase speaker control for accurate and dynamic audio reproduction. This precise power is the cornerstone of Onkyo's amplification philosophy.

This gives the TX-SR444 massive power at 115 W/Ch (6 Ohms, 1 kHz, 0.9% THD, 1 Channel Driven, FTC).

65 W/Ch (8 Ohms, 20 Hz–20 kHz, 0.7% 2 Channels Driven, FTC).

HDMI Video Up-Conversion

Only one wire! Every video input's signal is converted and sent to your TV through one HDMI cable. Easy!

*Additionally, a new Dolby surround up-mixer allows for your current channel-based content (that has not been mixed for Dolby Atmos) to be expanded to fill the flexible speaker layouts of a Dolby Atmos system.

Ready for Streaming Media Devices

The TX-SR444 has a USB port right next to the streaming media player HDMI input to conveniently power the device. Just plug in, log in to your subscription service and enjoy.
