ONKYO TX-RZ50 9.2CH Network A/V Receiver (2021)

Very easy to set up and use. Great sound quality

Ha alguns meses comecei a pensar no upgrade do meu home theater. Comecei a analisar o Onkyo 7100, depois pensei no Denon 3800 e até mesmo no Denon 4800. Decidi pelo RZ50 e acho que acertei na decisão ! Apenas R$ 1 k mais caro que o 7100 e mais barato que o 3800 e R$ 4k mais barato que o 4800 da Denon. As caixas Polk (RTi A1, CS10 e PSW10) foram mantidas. O Blu Ray Panasonic de 10 anos foi trocado por Panasonic Premium 4K Blu Ray Player DP-UB450 (Black). Um NVIDIA SHIELD Android TV Pro Streaming Media Player foi adicionado e o receiver Onkyo 676 foi trocado pelo Onkyo RZ 50. A TV permanceu a mesma, Sony XBR-75X805G. A qualidade do som, para ser sincero, não percebi grandes upgrades mas a imagem sim. Pude perceber com muita facilidade o upscalling funcionando muito bem tanto para o sinal da TV a cabo (Claro) quanto para Blu rays 1080. A TV, que eu pensava até então, trocar por uma OLED 77, vai continuar sendo a Sony porque o Receiver Onkyo RZ50 deu muito mais 'vida'a ela.

excelente equipo buen sonido buena imagen y potencia te puede dar problemas al configurarlo con pantalla negra pero solo necesitas comprar un cable hdmi ultra alta velocidad que soporte 8k y dolby atmos y queda solucionado el problema.

My history: My first surround sound A/V receiver was an Okyo TX-SV444. This was a great receiver, however it was analog only. I enjoyed it for many years until a co-worker introduced me to digital audio receivers and I replaced the TX-SV444 with an Onkyo TX-SR600. The TX-SR600 has served me well! What I liked about it is it had multi-channel analog audio inputs which allowed me to connect all four channels of my Teac Reel-To-Real multi-track tape recorder and listen to quadraphonic tapes. Tracks 1 and 3 (front speakers) and tracks 2 and 4 (rear speakers) simultaneously. I know, I know, who still uses tape decks anymore? I DO, THAT'S WHO!!! (I still use VHS technology once in a while as well!) Something disappointing about the TX-SR600 is that it has no tape monitor (sometimes called a tape loop) circuit, nor does it have a phono input. Odd that many new A/V receivers come with a phono input, but you're very hard-pressed to find one with a tape monitor circuit, or multi-channel analog audio inputs. Additionally, the TX-SR600 does not support HDMI, and this was because the HDMI technology was brand-new and not that common when I purchased this receiver. It supports Dolby Pro-Logic, Dolby Digital, And DTS. Not a bad receiver. Very well-built, and packs a punch. Well.... now that technology has advanced and we have high definition TV's, it was time to finally upgrade my A/V receiver. Did a lot of reading as well as watching various A/V comparison YouTube clips and the majority of them have given the Onkyo TX-RZ50 very good reviews. Many have said that the TX-RZ50 is THE RECEIVER to get, if you want high quality at a price that won't break the bank. I decided to buy one. The unit arrived from Amazon in two days! WOW! This unit is HEAVY! Took some muscle to heave this beast down the stairs to my basement media room. The receiver comes with an AM antenna, FM antenna, remote control, and a calibration mic with a generously long cable. The power cord for this receiver is detachable, and I believe is the same style plug as what you'd typically find on a computer. The receiver DOES NOT come with any speaker cables, NOR does it come with a printed user's manual. If you decide to buy this receiver, consider buying some ink cartridges and paper for your printer because you will definitely want to download and print out the user manual. The manual is about 209 pages! ALSO... consider buying a package of "banana" plugs for the speaker wires. You CAN get away without banana plugs, because the terminals will let you insert the speaker cables into the sides of the terminals and screw them tight, but it's cumbersome, and care must be taken not to have any exposed wires with could potentially short out. Banana plugs are definitely the way to go. This receiver has the old-style Red, Blue, Green component video input for older equipment such as DVD players, which is a plus. Additionally, it has two analog (composite) video inputs, which allows you to connect a VCR. It doesn't have an S-Video input, however. (Does anyone besides me still use S-Video? Anyone? Anyone?) The speaker output terminals are organized for front right and left, center, rear right and left, rear back right and left, and left and right "height". There are zone outputs as well (Two I think) which allows you to run sound into another room and play one audio source out your main channels and a different audio source out the zone channels, or..... play the same audio source out of all channels if you want your entire house thumping. Remember I said I have a Teac 4-channel tape deck? (Teac A-2340). The TX-RZ50, like most new A/V receivers, does not have a multi-channel audio input. HOWEVER.... with the zone channels, If I wanted to listen to 4-track recordings, I'm thinking I could "probably" plug a pair of rear speakers dedicated just for the reel-to-reel deck into one of those zones. That way, I can listen to the tape deck's front channels (tracks 1 and 3) out the main speakers AND listen to the rear channels (tracks 2 and 4) out the zone speakers! SWEET! I'm pretty sure I can do this. Haven't tried it yet. It does not have a tape monitor circuit. As for TAPE RECORDING, there is no analog audio output jacks, which is a bit disappointing. HOWEVER.... I "Think" I can probably use a zone pre-amp output as a tape/line out jack, but I will definitely want to check the pre-amp output voltages to make sure it outputs line level and won't overload the tape deck(s) tape inputs. Pretty sure I can do this, but we'll see. It DOES have a phono input! Speaking of pre-amp outputs, you can output all channels to an external amp or amps if you wanted to, and not even use the built-in amp and speaker terminals. Some audio enthusiasts are disappointed about the subwoofer options on this receiver. While you CAN connect TWO subwoofers, they are wired together. You cannot control/output each subwoofer separately. For some, this is a deal breaker, but for the majority of us, I don't think this is any big deal at all. There are two HDMI outputs, one of which is ARC. There are I think 6 HDMI inputs. The receiver supports both cabled ethernet OR wi-fi. There are two digital audio inputs; one coaxial and one optical. There are NO digital audio outputs however. I have my speaker system configured as follows: Two Infinity Primus 150 speakers for the front left and right speakers, located near ear level, next to my Infinity center channel. These front and right speakers were initially mounted on the left and right walls, near the ceiling, about 4 feet FORWARD of the center channel! HUH??? Why did I do that? I don't know, but that's how I designed the room initially. I have since relocated those front speakers so that they now sit immediately to the left and right of the center channel, as they should be. I mounted a pair of Insignia speakers on the left and right walls, near the ceiling, where my front speakers used to be. I set these Insignia speakers as my "High, MIDDLE" speakers. At the back of the room, above my couch, I have two Infinity satellite speakers mounted near the ceiling on the back wall. These are configured as my surround left and right back speakers. I bought an additional pair of Insignia speakers along with some speaker stands, and I use those for my Left and Right Surround Rear Speakers. I placed them to the left and right of the couch so that they face each other. There is also an Infinity powered subwoofer located near the front, right corner of the room. The room has a tile floor, so obviously I needed to adjust the room eq. The TX-RZ50 has Di-rack Live eq calibration as well as Onkyo's proprietary EQ option. Trust me, you're going to want to use Di-rack instead of the other! Configuring Di-rack was a bit intimidating at first. It kept losing connectivity with the network, and some of the channels gave errors about signal to noise ratio or clipping. It took some playing around to get it to finally calibrate. During the calibration process, you move the mic to various positions and take measurements. I highly recommend using the di-rack software (downloadable for free) on a LAPTOP instead of your phone. Once I got the speakers calibrated, it was time to try things out. Three words; OH-MY-GOODNESS!!!!! It sounds absolutely INCREDIBLE!!!!!! I played various songs, and wow, did it sound amazing! Put in a DVD of Jurrasic Park, and it just RATTLED the place! Sounds soooooo good! There are LOTS of listening settings, and I'm still learning what they all do. Takes some experimenting to determine what mode sounds the best with what input I'm listening to. Some reviewers have mentioned that the audio output is weak. I thought this at first, until I started experimenting with the different settings. I found that setting my equipment to use bitstream instead of PCM made a world of difference. I do have to set the volume to about 50%-ish, on average. It varies depending on what I'm listening to. I had a problem at first with getting the video to display when playing blueray disks. It was strange; I could get audio, but I'd get a message saying HDMI signal wasn't detected. It turns out I needed to enable a setting on my Visio TV, (UHD I think it was?) and now bluerays play just fine. Anyway, as you can probably tell, I am absolutely DELIGHTED with this purchase! I love the way this receiver sounds!

Comparado con mi antiguo receptor he notado una clara mejora en el sonido, incorpora el sistema de calibración Dirac que en otros receptores se debe pagar. Se nota la calidad de construcción en los materiales utilizados.
