Onkyo TX-NR797 9.2-Channel Network A/V Receiver, 220W Per Channel (At 6 Ohms) - $799
$799.00
9.2 receiver from onkyo which was out of stock for months and now it's available
Not sure if it's a great deal but whoever looking for 9.2 receiver and it is the cheapest one
Think big, go bigger with exhilarating sound by Onkyo
This 9.2-channel Onkyo SMART A/V Receiver plays the lead role in your whole-home audio experience. Works with Sonos, Chromecast built-in, AirPlay 2 and DTS Play-Fi are enhanced by high-speed 802.11ac Wi-Fi while speaker outputs with DACs can power D/A audio in three rooms. With nine channels of high-current power on tap, roll up the volume to THX Certified Select reference level and wrap your family in 5.2.4 channels of Dolby Atmos or DTS:X sound or feel IMAX Enhanced content as the filmmakers intended.
Dolby Surround upmixes legacy sound for height-enabled systems while Dolby Atmos Height Virtualizer creates a 3D sound-field using horizontal speakers. DAA features an upgraded power-train while anti-noise refinements result in a wider soundstage. AccuEQ Advance 9-point calibration eliminates standing waves so audio is expressed naturally. All this and more helps the TX-NR797 shape entertainment to your life.
Amplifier Features
• 220 W/Ch (6 ohms, 1 kHz, 10% THD, 1 channel driven), 100 W/Ch (8 ohms, 20 Hz-20 kHz, 0.08% THD, 2 channels driven, FTC)
• Certified for IMAX Enhanced and THX Certified Select
• Dynamic Audio Amplification
• Custom High-Current Low-Noise Power Transformer
• Large custom-made audio power capacitors
• Non-phase-shift amp topology with discrete output stage
• Strengthened power-supply line for high-current dynamics

Dolby Pro Logic was what was available in the early 90's.
Then came DD5.1 and DTS in the 90's.
And now we have like 30 more options in the past 10 years that are very slight improvements even if you happen to have an ideal environment to benefit from them. Even so, the improvement pales in comparison to what 5.1 was over the old Pro Logic. But the push them out, convince us we have to have it, and obsolete our old equipment so we have to buy more stuff.
Same with video. HD over 480p anamorphic was a gigantic leap. 4k is also a pretty big leap IF you have a big screen, and IF the source material was filmed in fine enough detail to warrant it (spoiler alert: most movies made before 1990, 4k is already exceeding the detail of the source film).
I'm keeping my Yamaha RX2010 (9.2) as my sound processor works for me (YPAO). I do have front presence speakers and 4 surrounds, with 2 subs, not sure what Atmos would add, as my family room isn't perfect. Probably not much, but not sure I'd want to spend 2k on another AV.
I just added a 8k Switch with an Audio extractor.
Pretty jaded already after upgrading in wall HDMI cables (prolly an HDCP issue), lubbing cables and pulling and cutting drywall at times or else Xbox X wouldn't work right with the extractor. Now it does.
I don't actually care about 8k at all, but it seems like videogames and new streamers will push the HDCP side of things, IDK
I will consider completely separating audio from video, with preamps and power amps if this craziness continues into HDMI 3.3b and HDCP 4.0 etc.

I apologize I don't have any advice for you problem but I do have a question you can help with. Does this Onkyo receiver have the privacy warning screen you have to address every time you power it on?
After going through the initial setup, I don't receive any messages upon startup.

What if you use AI-assisted DLSS, XeSS, FSR upscaling along with AI-assisted dynamic HDR uplighting? This would be a significant enough change even for ugly old movies from the 90s or even earlier?
• 220 W/Ch (6 ohms, 1 kHz, 10% THD)
Whenever these companies advertise power with 10% THD, they're being very disingenuous. That much distortion will destroy speakers and is unusable.
Onkyo has really went the way of walmart. 10% harmonic voltage distortion on a flagship receiver? LOL
That can't be right, can it?
From Onkyo website: 100 W/Ch (8 Ohms, 20 Hz–20 kHz, 0.08% THD, 2 Channels Driven, FTC)
From Onkyo website: 100 W/Ch (8 Ohms, 20 Hz–20 kHz, 0.08% THD, 2 Channels Driven, FTC)
i'm not aware of any standardized test for a 4ohms. so comparing any 4ohm data from different manufacturers would be meaningless if the methods are different.
And the new upper Onkyo models have Dirac which is far superior to the room correction software in other products.
