With THX Select2 certification, the TX
-
SR703 demonstrates that it has met the
rigorous design and performance standards set by THX. For the end user, it
enhances the overall system’s ability to accurately present movies the way they
were mixed by the filmmaker on the dubbing stage and Its additional THX listening
modes enhance playback performance of music, movies and video games.
Furthermore, its ASA
(
Adaptive Speaker Array
)
technology optimizes playback of
multi-channel movies, music and video games. THX Select2 also includes the
THX Surround EX decoder, which enables sound mixers to encircle the audience
with 360-degree pans and more realistic fly-over and ambient sound effects.
Component Video Upconversion with TBC
(
Time Base Corrector
)
When connecting playback devices to compatible displays, upconversion of
both composite and S
-
Video signals to component video can be output through
one single cable. During upconversion, each signal incorporates a synchronization
pulse (synch) that represents the beginning of each video signal. These synchs
need to be highly precise in amplitude and timing to eliminate clock jitter, which
can degrade the picture substantially, particularly on high-resolution display
devices. By incorporating a time base corrector in the conversion process,
inconsistencies in the signal’s timing can be corrected thereby ensuring the
highest quality picture possible.
Auto Speaker Set-up with Microphone
The TX
-
SR703 uses a high-sensitivity microphone to pick up test tones from
your favorite listening spot, and then uses an acoustic analyzer to adjust the
sound pressure level and time delay of each channel. Test tones are output by
each speaker, detected by the microphone and shown through an onscreen
display. This ensures that each channel’s delivered synchronously, so you get
the most accurate frequency response from your favorite listening spot. Easily
calibrated using the TX
-
SR703’s onscreen display and quickly completed in
minutes, this function is also useful if you decide to switch rooms, or even
move to another home.
Multiroom Playback Capabilities through Powered Zone 2
Powered Zone 2 gives you the option of different sources throughout your home.
With the Powered Zone 2 function, you can enjoy one input source in the main room
and a different source in another room through two different connection methods:
using a receiver/integrated amp in Zone 2 or using only a pair of speakers in
Zone 2. In the former method, you can enjoy 7.1 surround sound in the main room
and play a different AV source in Zone 2 (with the Zone 2 amplifier automatically
switched on by a 12 V trigger). With the latter method, you can use 5.1 surround
sound in the main room and play a different AV source (stereo) in Zone 2.

.As
one of the more versatile interfaces between the iPod and audio-video systems
available, you get hands-free iPod control, recharging capacity and even playback
of digital photos. Combine this with Powered Zone 2, and you can simultaneously
playback multichannel A/V sources while enjoying digital music in another room.
VLSC

Vector Linear Shaping Circuitry
)
for All Channels
The TX
-
SR703 incorporates Onkyo’s VLSC
(
Vector Linear Shaping Circuitry
)
,
which employs a unique D/A conversion circuit to mitigate the effect of signal
noise. As noise is magnified during the conversion process, even minimal
amounts of noise can adversely affect audio quality. With VLSC, data is converted
between the sampling points and these discrete sampling points are joined with
analog vectors in real-time to produce a smooth output wave form. The result—
a noiseless, smooth analog signal based on the digital source.
Independent Crossover Adjustment for Bass Management
With the TX
-
SR703’s crossover adjustment for bass management, you can
independently set the frequency of your front, center, surround and surround back
speakers at 40/60/70/80/90/100/120/150/200Hz.Previously,crossover adjustment

, which coaxes a
virtually noise-free signal from all your movie and music sources. Other functions, like crossover adjustment from 40 Hz to 200 Hz with
10/20 Hz steps and speaker placement calibration with Auto Speaker Set-up with Microphone, accurately deliver the low frequencies and
enveloping sound that recreate the floor-quaking impact of the cinema, right in your own home.
