 Select2 Plus

 for Reference-Level Sound

To be awarded THX Select2 Plus certification—the most 

rigorous performance benchmark for this type of product—

the home cinema receiver must play at studio reference 

volume levels with minimal distortion. Select2 Plus is 

specified for screen-to-seat distances of three to four meters 

and room volumes of about 56 cubic meters.

Onboard Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Streaming Technology

The TX-NR828 connects to the wireless home network 

without LAN cables or adapters. Send a huge range of 

hi-res, lossless, and compressed files to your home cinema 

from smartphone, PC, tablet, NAS, and online sources using 

our remote control app. Or pair devices for quality wireless 

streaming using the built-in Bluetooth technology.

Music Streaming and Internet Radio Services

The TX-NR828 comes preloaded with popular music 

streaming and internet radio services including Spotify, 

Last.fm, and TuneIn Radio. They’re easily selectable using the 

receiver’s GUI or the remote control app. Explore more than 

10,000 radio stations and enjoy albums and playlists with 

theater-fidelity sound.

Note: Availability of services depends on region. Some services may require a 

subscription and a firmware update. Availability of services advertised here is 
accurate at the time of publication, but may be subject to change without notice.

HDMI

®

 for High Resolution Playback 

The TX-NR828 features eight HDMI inputs to accept hi-res 

content from your media players and gaming consoles. HDMI 

enables Dolby

®

 TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio

 audio 

formats, and supports 3D video. Two outputs (one with 

Audio Return Channel) are included to connect your TV and 

projector.

Supports 4K Video Content

With 4K televisions, media players, and projectors hitting 

the market, it’s reassuring to know your A/V receiver is 

compatible with this new technology. Passthrough of native 

4K from source devices to an appropriate display is fully 

supported.

4K Video Upscaling via Qdeo

 Technology

The TX-NR828 uses Qdeo technology from Marvell to upscale 

standard video sources to brilliantly smooth 1080p (for regular 

HDTVs) and to an incredible 4K on compatible displays.

MHL

 for Mobile Phones and Tablets 

A frontside HDMI/MHL terminal is included to connect 

smartphones and other electronic devices. MHL allows you 

to display 1080p video and other media on your HDTV with 
7.1 channels of surround sound.

Quick and Easy Remote App Control

Our remote apps for iPhone and Android devices offer a 

convenient way to control your entertainment from anywhere 

within wireless range. The app offers a clear interface for 

managing content, settings, and playback across multiple zones.

Hassle-Free Video  Switching

Switching between games, movies, and cable TV should be 

easy. InstaPrevue

 technology names your HDMI devices and 

displays video thumbnails of available content. Now you can 

switch sources without having to remember what device is 

connected where.

Overlaid Menus for Quick Adjustments

Touch the Quick Set-Up button on your remote to overlay 

menus in-program. You can now access useful settings 

without interruption to your viewing. The Home Menu, 

meanwhile, offers simple icons for choosing a media source, 

and more detailed system adjustment.

An Introduction to Premium Hi-Fi Sound

Onkyo’s WRAT (Wide Range Amp Technology) includes 

discrete low-negative-feedback amplifiers for punchy, 

true-to-life sound; closed ground-loop circuits to reduce 

noise; and high instantaneous current to counter impedance 

fluctuations. Three-Stage Inverted Darlington Circuitry is 

featured on all channels to handle reference-level playback 

without distorting.

Audyssey MultEQ

®

MultEQ equalizes your system to suit the unique shape of 

your room. Measuring six listening positions, MultEQ applies 

filters to satellites and subwoofers to create a perfectly 

balanced soundstage.

Audyssey Dynamic EQ

®

Dynamic EQ solves the problem of deteriorating sound 

quality at low volume. It selects the best frequency response 

and surround levels moment-by-moment, resulting in an 

optimal listening experience at any volume.

Audyssey  Dynamic Volume

®

Audyssey  Dynamic Volume

®

 compensates for volume 

fluctuations in different audio content—for example, during 

noisy commercial breaks—and adjusts the volume in real time.

Audyssey DSX

®

 and Dolby

®

 Pro Logic IIz

®

Audyssey DSX lets you augment your setup with two Front 

Wide channels, expanding the width of the soundstage, or 

two Front Height speakers to add a vertical dimension to 

movies and games. Dolby Pro Logic IIz offers Front Height 

channels with 7.1-channel upmixing from stereo sources.

App-Controllable Multi-Zone Audio

The TX-NR828 features Powered Zone 2 outputs and 

Zone 2/3 line-outs. This lets you assign two channels to 

power audio in a room equipped with speakers. An existing 

hi-fi system in a third room can also be connected via the 

line-out, enabling the use of the A/V receiver as a pre-amp 

and audio server. Control content in all three zones via 

remote app; play the same song in all zones using Whole 

House Mode; or enjoy a different song in every room.

Phase-Matching Bass Enhancement

Onkyo’s PM Bass optimizes low frequencies while preserving 

mid-range clarity. It counters phase shifting (which can affect 

sound quality) by synchronizing frequency timing. The result is 

deep, well-defined bass that won’t overwhelm vocals or strings.

Hybrid Standby Power-Saving Mode

HDMI passthrough and network connectivity are maintained 

while the receiver is powered down. This facilitates use of 

your TV and other devices without turning on the receiver.

Text on receiver may vary with region.
