About this deal

Onkyo equippedthe TX-RZ50with the latest video technology. All six of its rear-panel HDMI inputs support crisp 4K/120 video content— perfect for high-quality sources like a 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray player, an Apple TV, or your next-gen gaming system. (The front-panel HDMI input supports 4K/60 video content.) Play music from a slew of sources With the available built-in amplifiers you can create a Dolby Atmos system up to 7.2.2 or 5.2.4 channels. As the TX-RZ50 offers processing for up to 11 channels if you add an external amplifier you can create a system with a configuration of 7.2.4 channels. As for this review we went for a 5.1.4 channels setup with four height speakers and a single subwoofer. Whatever speaker configuration you decide upon, the TX-RZ50 has a surround format to suit. Compatible formats include IMAX Enhanced, Dolby Atmos, DTS:X plus Dolby Atmos Height Virtualization and DTS Neural:X for up-mixed audio. This wide range of options means you can adapt your surround sound speaker system from the simplest system with ‘virtual height’ speakers to full-blown 11.2 system that truly brings the cinema to your front room.

In 1993, Onkyo became the first consumer home theater electronics brand to be THX-certified. With literally thousands of tests, before earning the THX-certification logo: no matter what input is used, no matter what combination of the many built-in features for the AVR, preamplifier, or amplifier, there can be absolutely nothing added, nothing taken away from the source material. The TX-RZ50 offers four distinct THX listening modes: cinema, gaming, music, and surround EX. IMAX Enhanced Mode The chart below compares fiscal Q1 2020 with Q1 2021 in two important metrics, sales and profit (loss in Onkyo’s case). The graph’s unit of measure is 1-million Japanese Yen. Unfortunately, our Installation Service excludes all gas appliances. It is the customer’s responsibility to find a gas safe engineer to connect the appliance. Any work conducted by a third part gas safe engineer will be at the customer’s expense and we will not accept any liability for their work. This Onkyo AVR can send and receive audio via Bluetooth wireless technology. Stream from your device to the receiver using SBC or AAC codecs, or transmit audio playing through the AVR to compatible wireless headphones using SBC, aptX ™, or aptX HD codecs including 24-bit audio over aptX HD. The improved data transfer capabilities of the latest generation of Bluetooth ensure clear and reliable sound reproduction so you hear your favorite songs just as the recording engineer intended. Any extended warranties offered by Peter Tyson are free. We do not include any form of insurance terms such as accidental damage or loan equipment cover.The TX-RZ50 delivers enormous power on-demand to highlight every nuance of the music, movies, and games you love; all-the-while looking sleek and at home in your living space. TX-RZ50 As a whole the Onkyo TX-RZ50 has all the ingredients for success. It supports almost everything you would expect and even more, while featuring Dirac and coming with bug-free HDMI 2.1 ports will surely make more than a few to start looking for a unit to reserve. Is it really as good as it sounds? Let’s find out… The Onkyo TX-RZ50 is a powerhouse when it comes to delivering top-notch audio quality for movies as well. This AV receiver is specifically designed to provide an immersive and realistic audio experience that will make you feel like you’re right in the middle of the action.

PH15, PH16, PH17, PH18, PH19, PH20, PH21, PH22, PH23, PH24, PH25, PH26, PH27, PH28, PH29, PH30, PH31, PH32, PH33, PH34, PH35, PH36, PH37, PH38, PH39, PH40, PH41, PH42, PH43, PH44, PH45, PH46, PH47, PH48, PH49, PH50 Innovative DIRAC Live® Room Correction technology ensures that your immersive surround experience is delivered with the highest fidelity by increasing musical staging, clarity, conversation, and deeper bass right out of the box. Where the Onkyo TX-RZ50 really excels is in its versatility. It’s built to power 9.2 systems right out of the box, with processing power that allows you to expand that up to 11.2 channel processing. This also opens up the option of 7.2.4 sound systems with overhead speakers, so you’ll get more configuration options as well as the power to drive more speakers.Access to Spotify, TIDAL, Deezer and TuneIn are built into the system. Use dedicated apps (where available) or the free Onkyo Control App for Apple and Android devices to find and play music. Add to all this the legendary score by John Williams that was reproduced with delicacy and care and you have a masterpiece that the TX-RZ50 made real justice.

And this concludes our movie testing. To say that we were impressed with how the TX-RZ50 behaved would be an understatement. There was not a single moment that we felt the receiver didn’t manage to recreate each scene faithfully and how it should be. Every level of the frequency range was handled with care, dynamics were great and attention to details was high resulting in an amazing cinematic experience. Nothing more to add here. Last part of our testing was music so we switched to a 2 channels setup and got some tunes to see how the TX-RZ50 can do with something more musical. Both AVR’s come with advanced room correction capabilities. The Onkyo TX-RZ50 has Dirac Live ™ and AccuEq Room Corrections, and the Pioneer Elite VSX-LX505 has the advanced MCACC and Dirac Live ™ Room Correction. These calibration solutions allow for better sound quality in addition to reducing time delays. Set-up and Installation Onkyo TX-RZ50Speaking about the TX-RZ50 specifications, first of all, I should say that despite the claimed nine channels, the receiver can be configured in the 11.2 or 7.2.4 system, thanks to the presence of pre-inputs (for this, you will need an external amplifier). Great, don’t you think? Also, ensure your speakers are ready for this power. The manufacturer claims to give you 250 W/Ch (6 ohms, 1 kHz, 10% THD, 1 ch) or 120 W/Ch (8 ohms, 20 Hz-20 kHz, 0.08% THD, 2 ch). Of course, it would be better if you had a big room and strong eardrums, no different. Non-Phase-Shift Amplification Circuitry: Onkyo's Wide Range Amp Technology (WRAT) circuit layout prevents phase shifting by pushing the roll-off point higher than the listening-level frequency. Amplifying sound without phase shift creates an uncommonly well-focused and realistic audio image.

Please note that our couriers will try to deliver as arranged but we will not be held responsible for any costs incurred because of non-delivery or factors introduced by third-parties. This service is based upon best endeavour and is not guaranteed. I’ll start by saying that the RX50 gives you a vast array of connection choices. Firstly, it has 7 HDMI inputs and 2 outputs, which means you can connect all your devices, such as your cable box, gaming console, Blu-ray player and more, without having to constantly switch cables around. Its HDMIs support both 4K video and 8K video as well as multi-zone. So you can watch video in the main room and a 2nd video in a separate room. Was watching Youtube and came across a video regarding the RZ50, which I'm planning on getting or was, not so sure at the moment. I came across a comment I quoted below, I was going to do exactly what he tried. Get a 3 channel amp for my front sound stage and run 4 atmos speakers.(7.2.4) According to his comment you can't do this ??? So now I'm thinking maybe I just look for a better AVR since I'll have to double my amp budget like he did. This seems crazy and I hope this comment is incorrect. The TX-RZ50, as with most other AV receivers from competing brands, is Roon Tested which means that it doesn’t have Roon built-in but has been tested to work but not without a small catch. And that is audio quality. As this works through some streaming system like USB, HDMI, AirPlay, Google Cast or other protocols, audio quality is limited to only 16 Bit/44.1kHz. Keep that in mind in case Roon is specifically important to you but also want your files to be streamed in their original high quality.Along with the above, the Onkyo TX-RZ50 is also THX Certified Select, which means it has passed rigorous testing to ensure it meets THX’s high standards for sound quality, power and distortion.
