Community Reviews
The TX RZ30 is a strong value 9 channel AVR for Atmos setups, especially if you want Dirac room correction and dual independent sub outs. It is repeatedly framed as a better fit than pricier Denon and Yamaha alternatives when you do not need more than 9 channels, and the included calibration is praised for improving sound after setup. The main cautions are extra Dirac costs for Bass Control, a learning curve, and recurring concern about Onkyo HDMI reliability and shipping or warranty hassles. A solid pick for a modern 5.1.4 or 5.2.4 system if those tradeoffs fit.
Common Questions (5)
The RZ30 includes Dirac Live for speaker correction, but DLBC is not included and costs extra. DLBC is the add-on used for subwoofer/bass correction and is often described as the main reason to upgrade if you use one or more subs.
Yes. It can process 9 channels, so it fits setups like 5.1.4 or 5.2.4, but it is not the right choice if you need more than 9 amplified channels.
Yes, it has two independent sub outs, which is a major selling point for people running multiple subs. That feature is also cited as a reason it compares favorably to the RZ50 for bass integration.
If your current AVR already meets your channel needs, the audible jump may be small; the main reasons to upgrade are Dirac room correction, newer features, and better subwoofer integration. For many setups, the receiver change matters less than speaker placement, room treatment, and sub calibration.
Not always. One checkout path added a $66 shipping charge when PayPal was used, but switching to a credit card removed the shipping fee.

The closest(3800) offers a bit more features for the $400 or so extra cost.
If you don't need those extra features or prefer Denon, yes this is a solid deal for what you get.
Generally speaking, the extra power is a minimal advantage in real world use.
I've set this up with a 9 channel Primes & drove them with no problem at average listening levels.
Imo I would spend the extra $200 on DLBC or improving a weak link speaker(s) if you have one.

The included Dirac(DL) doesn't offer Dirac subwoofer/bass correction.
It uses the AVR bass management to calculate & include it in the calibration.
Dirac usually offers 20% sale around BF & gives you 30 days return window.
Past sales on the 3800 are not very common nowadays for a few reasons.
One being, it offers pretty much all the features the RZ70 does and likely what the new RZ71 will.
It depends.
