Network* for Streaming Audio Files and Internet Radio
The TX-NR905's network gives you access to digital music files (AAC, WMA,
MP3, WAV) via an Ethernet network between the TX-NR905 and your
computer. It also enables you to access music files from a USB mass storage
device or a portable audio player through the USB port on the TX-NR905’s
front panel. At the heart of the network is Windows Media Connect or
Windows Media Player (the TX-NR905 is Microsoft PlaysForSure certified), which
enable the TX-NR905 to play DRM music downloads from Napster and CD-
quality files from MusicGiants. For internet radio, you can access
stations that use MP3 or WMA streaming.You can enter URLs
(including those for podcasts) directly into your computer’s web
browser, or you can enter them with your remote control.The
TX-NR905’s user-friendly interface lets you easily access and
store your favorite channels.
*This network also enables installation configuration and set-up of Crestron and AMX controllers
with your home theater system or network.
HQV Reon-VX Chip for High-Performance Video Processing
(with 1080p Upscaling)
The TX-NR905 is the world’s first A/V receiver to incorporate HQV Reon-VX
video processing. HQV Reon-VX will scale all video signals to 1080p without the
visible inconsistencies found in less competent scalers. It also provides the
ultimate support for standard and high-definition deinterlacing; for filtering of
jaggies and artifacts; and for the reduction of random, “mosquito” and block
(codec) noise. HQV Reon-VX enables color region enhancement and the
rendering of more than one billion colors.
Processing 1080p Video and High-Resolution Audio via High-
Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI 1.3a)
With four HDMI inputs, you can receive and switch the latest high-definition
components—Blu-ray Disc and HD DVD players, satellite and cable boxes, media
centers, and gaming consoles—for a simple, one-cable digital connection to an
HDTV through either of the two assignable HDMI outputs (Main and Sub).
HDMI delivers the latest high-definition audio formats—Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD
Master Audio, Dolby
® Digital Plus and DTS-HD ® High Resolution Audio—which
are processed by the TX-NR905’s onboard decoders.These new formats enable
unprecedented quality, including bit-for-bit reproduction (in TrueHD and Master
Audio). Also, HDMI 1.3a gives you greater bandwidth to deal with higher
resolutions, 36-bit Deep Color
™ and high frame rates.
THX Ultra2 Certification for a Better Class of Home Theater
Ultra 2 certification means that the TX-NR905 can easily handle the
requirements of a home theater where the viewing distance from screen to seat
is greater than 12 feet and the room volume is greater than 3000 cubic feet.
Among its technologies, Advanced Speaker Array (ASA) digitally reconfigures
surround speakers for three listening modes: movies, music and gaming.You also
benefit from Boundary Gain Compensation (BGC), which realizes a truer, more
accurate bass response.THX Ultra2 certification is a powerful endorsement of
the receiver’s amplifying abilities.
The lesser-used controls are neatly tucked away behind the drop-down panel.
