Supports Dolby Atmos® Up to 5.1.2 Channels

With Dolby Atmos, sound comes alive from all directions, including overhead. The format combines a channel-based audio bed with object-oriented sound to place and move specific effects around the room, creating a breathtakingly realistic and captivating sonic atmosphere.

Sound designers and artists are free to mix in a 3D space, steering effects through surround channels and adding a seamless overhead dimension with discrete height channels.

Additionally, a new Dolby surround up-mixer allows for your current channel-based content (that has not been mixed for Dolby Atmos) to be expanded to fill the flexible speaker layouts of a Dolby Atmos system.

HDMI 4 In / 1 Out: Ready for 4K UltraHD

The latest HDMI specification and HDCP 2.2 compatibility support the latest formats and technologies planned for Hollywood content. This latest HDMI spec offers a significant increase in bandwidth (up to 18Gbps) to support new features such as 4K@50/60 (2160p), which is 4 times the clarity of 1080p/60 video resolution, and 4:4:4 color space.

True Power from Discrete Amplifiers

Discrete Amps deliver high instantaneous current to increase speaker control for accurate and dynamic audio reproduction. This precise power is the cornerstone of Onkyo's amplification philosophy.

This gives the TX-SR444 massive power at 115 W/Ch (6 Ohms, 1 kHz, 0.9% THD, 1 Channel Driven, FTC) 65 W/Ch (8 Ohms, 20 Hz-20 kHz, 0.7% 2 Channels Driven, FTC).

HDMI Video Up-Conversion

Only one wire! Every video input's signal is converted and sent to your TV through one HDMI cable. Easy!

Ready for Streaming Media Devices

The TX-SR444 has a USB port right next to the streaming media player HDMI input to conveniently power the device. Just plug in, log in to your subscription service and enjoy.

Built-In Bluetooth

The TX-SR444 has Bluetooth technology built in. Pair up to ten compatible Bluetooth devices and stream high quality wireless audio using the built-in Bluetooth 2.1. The sound is virtually flawless.

2015 AccuEQ

AccuEQ conducts two measurements- one to set the level, distance and crossover for ALL speakers, including the subwoofer, and a second measurement to eliminate standing waves. Choose to include or bypass EQ measurement for front left and right speakers, and choose to automatically or manually set the EQ. Further, you can save your own manual EQ settings into three available presets.
