Onkyo HT-S770 6.1-Channel Home Theater System (Silver)

Discover the difference great sound can make. Onkyo's HT-S770 home theater system includes a 6.1-channel Dolby Digital/DTS/Dolby Pro Logic II audio/video surround receiver and a complementary 6.1-channel speaker package featuring 2-way front, center-channel, and surround speakers paired with a gut-thumping 220-watt subwoofer. You can use the HT-S770 with any existing DVD player or changer.

The 6.1-channel receiver provides full compatibility with the latest DVD soundtracks, encoded with either Dolby Digital EX or DTS-ES. The receiver features Dolby Laboratories latest processing algorithm, Pro Logic IIx, which can automatically generate full 6.1-channel surround sound from any stereo or Dolby Digital source. The receiver also features HDTV-capable component video switching for optimum signal quality, and a wide range of input and output connections for compatibility with any A/V equipment.

The receiver delivers as much as 130 watts of continuous power into six 8-ohm speakers (such as those that come with the system) with no more than 0.08 percent THD to fill even most of the largest rooms with dynamic, nuanced sound. The speaker mapping works out to 2 each front (left/right), center (front/rear), and surrounds (left/right).

The package also includes six 2-way surround sound loudspeakers and a 10-inch subwoofer for high-quality reproduction of movie soundtracks and multichannel music. The front left and right satellites include a 1-inch balanced dome tweeter flanked by a pair of 5.25-inch woofers made of the company's highly regarded OMF (Onkyo Micro Fiber). The center channel features a pair of 4-inch OMF woofers and the same tweeter in a horizontal design, and all 3 surround channels feature a single OMF woofer and tweeter arrangement for a tonally matched 360-degree soundstage.

The user-friendly design is evident in the system's color-coded inputs and outputs. Now you'll no longer need to worry about which cable goes to which input or output. Simply attach the color-coded speaker cable to its like-colored input or output for fast and easy connections.

Want to integrate the system with your existing stereo speakers? With the subwoofer's handy crossover selector, you can set the sub's upper frequency at 60, 80, 100, 120, or 150 Hz, depending on the lower boundary of your existing speakers' bass extension. This lets you more accurately match the performance characteristics of the subwoofer to your front speakers--as well as to the bass performance of the supplied front left/right speakers as they perform in your room; each position will result in a slightly different audible frequency response.
