Magnificent Sound Meets Ultimate Versatility

With 80 W/Ch of pure high-current analog power courtesy of a discrete low-impedance amplification system, your speakers are driven with depth and clarity no matter what audio source you select. And there are so many options: TV sound via digital inputs, music streaming from Spotify or Pandora® over Wi-Fi®, iTunes via AirPlay, MP3s from USB drives, or audio from mobile apps via Bluetooth technology. There's also a phono equalizer for your turntable and other players can be connected using the digital and analog ins. Zone 2 pre-outs send any source, including streaming audio, to a spare power amp and pair of speakers-you can even control playback from your phone. BGM Preset stores your best FM/AM and internet radio stations, so entertainment is only a button push away. Don't settle for second best: with almost 70 years' experience building premium stereo gear, nothing else performs like an Onkyo.

Realistic & Clean Audio

High current enables masterful control of the speakers for extremely accurate and dynamic sound. It's the cornerstone of our Wide Range Amplification Technology system, and it creates an uncommonly well-focused and realistic audio image.

The TX-8160 delivers superb stereo power at 80 W/Ch (8 Ohms, 20 Hz-20 kHz, 0.1%, 2 Channels Driven, FTC) 110 W/Ch (6 Ohms, 1 kHz, 0.1%, 1 Channel Driven, FTC).

Bluetooth / Wi-Fi® with Pandora, Spotify, and AirPlay

The TX-8160 has AirPlay, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth technologies built in. The free Onkyo Remote app puts a range of streaming options at your fingertips, from universal hi-res audio via network-attached devices to internet streaming services to music on your smartphone and tablet. Or pair up and enjoy whatever's playing on your Bluetooth-compatible device for huge cinematic sound.

It also comes loaded with Spotify, Pandora, SiriusXM Internet Radio, Slacker and TuneIn. You can select a station and search for music available on these services via the Onkyo Remote app on your phone. You'll never be short of your favorite music to enjoy.

Great Sound From Any Format

An Asahi Kasei AK4452 digital-to-analog converter unlocks the full potential of any audio format with its unique low-distortion sound-enhancing filtering technologies.

Quick Access Presets

Get instant access to four of your favorite FM/AM or internet radio stations at the touch of a button. Four preset buttons on the faceplate go straight to the stations. You can even wake up the receiver from standby mode by pressing one of these buttons for instant radio.

Zone 2

An additional DAC and Zone 2 pre-outs send any audio (even streamed audio) to a second room equipped with a power amp and a pair of speakers, perhaps on the deck or in the garage. Play the same source in both rooms or a different source in Zone 2.

Hi-Res Clarity & Detail

The TX-8160 is engineered for universal Hi-Res compatibility and ease of use. Use the remote app to select your 192/24 or 5.6 MHz DSD files on PC or NAS and bask in the clarity and detail of high-resolution music.

Rediscover the Magic of Vinyl

Hi-current amplification brings out the best in your vinyl records. Just connect your turntable to the phono input. The TX-8160 will faithfully reproduce vinyl's authentic stereo sound.
