Yeah right - 8" clearance all round (4" at the back) George Forman would be proud of this beauty!
Looks like April will be great with new Onks and new Pana line ups.
I've got pics of the back too but no idea how to stick them here. Powered Zone 2 is noticeable - and cool (I just hope it is).
Here are some more specs completely lifted. Sounds like PR boys talk - interesting though.
Correcting Room Distortion and
Loudness with Audyssey 2EQT and
Audyssey Dynamic EQT
The TX-SR606 uses Audyssey 2EQ to counter
distortion created by walls, furniture, and other
objects.This technology detects speaker distance,
and then sets levels, delays, and crossovers, while
also measuring room acoustics. Compared to oneposition
room correction systems,Audyssey 2EQ
covers a much wider listening area. Moreover, it
corrects problems in both frequency response and
time domain (where most of the problems lie)
across the entire listening area.The results are
immediately obvious-a clear, well-balanced and
natural sound.
After 2EQ calibration, Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves
the problem of deteriorating sound quality at lower
volumes.The professionals who create music and
movies do so at reference levels much louder than
typical home listening levels.When volume is
reduced on a standard home theater receiver, the
bass disappears, voices change, and the surround
soundstage becomes less enveloping. As volume is
adjusted on the TX-SR606, however, Dynamic EQ
selects the best possible frequency response and
surround levels moment-by-moment, resulting in an
ideal listening experience at any volume level.
Bi-Amping Capability for High-Impact
Movies and Music
The TX-SR606's surround back speaker channels
enhance the ambience and sound effects of movies.
They can also be used with the front left and right
channels to provide two separate amplification
channels for compatible bi-amping speakers (i.e.
those with two sets of input terminals). In effect,
two separate channels drive the woofer and
tweeter of each front speaker.This improves sound
quality by maximizing power to the low-/mid- and
high-range frequencies, respectively. It also gives you
a more powerful, dynamic soundfield for twochannel
music and movie sound effects.
Music Optimizer to Support Compressed
Digital Music Files
While MP3 or AAC files may sound fine on a
portable digital player, the limitations of these
compressed files can be exposed when played back
through a home entertainment system. Onkyo has
designed onboard Music Optimizer technology to
improve the quality of compressed audio signals.
Compressed music loses a substantial amount of bit
information at higher frequencies, so the Music
Optimizer technology works to overcome this
limitation and enhance audio quality.
