      6. Amplifier

      Onkyo TX-NR646 Onkyo TX-NR535

      7 channel Amplifier: Onkyo TX-NR646 features 7 channel power amplifier. It is rated at 100 W (8 Ω, 20 Hz - 20 kHz, 2 channel driven).

      5 channel Amplifier: Onkyo TX-NR535 features 5 channel power amplifier. It is rated at 65 W (8 Ω, 20 Hz - 20 kHz, 2 channel driven).

      • WRAT (Wide Range Amp Technology): Onkyo TX-NR646 and Onkyo TX-NR535 feature Onkyo’s Wide Range Amp Technology (WRAT) circuit layout that prevents phase shifting by pushing the roll-off point higher than the listening-level frequency. Amplifying sound without phase shift creates an uncommonly well-focused and realistic audio image. If phase shift occurs and signal timing is not accurate, then neither is the resulting audio image.

      • Dolby Atmos Configurations: The following speaker configurations are supported for Dolby Atmos:
      • Onkyo TX-NR646: 5.2.2 with internal amplifier.
      • Onkyo TX-NR535: Not supported.
      • DTS:X Configurations: The following speaker configurations are supported for DTS:X:
      • Onkyo TX-NR646: The speaker configurations for DTS:X are the same as for Dolby Atmos - 5.2.2 with internal amplifier.

      • Configurations without height channels: There are also other speaker configurations available which do not include height channels:
      • Onkyo TX-NR646: 5.2, 7.2 with internal amplifier.
      • Onkyo TX-NR535: 5.2 with internal amplifier.
      • Bi-Amp: Onkyo TX-NR646 is able to bi-amp up to 2 main channels simultaneously. During bi-amplification two amplifiers are used for one speaker. One amplifier powers the midrange and tweeter section of the speaker and another amplifier powers the low frequency woofers. Each amplifier is less loaded and performs better. In order to use this feature speakers must have 2 pairs of connectors.

      8. Immersive Audio Formats

      Dolby Atmos

      Onkyo TX-NR646 supports Dolby Atmos.

      • Dolby Surround Upmixer: Onkyo TX-NR646 supports Dolby Surround Upmixer.
