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.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I am a bit concerned since this isn't the old Onkyo (which to be fair also had some HDMI reliability problems).
I've always wondered how these things could be sold routinely for just about half of the Denon "equivalent" model. I guess many are or will be finding out!

I knew Onkyo wasn't Onkyo anymore, but I had no idea they were plagued with HDMI failures. That is, until it happened to me. But in all fairness, this was the 1st and only issue I've had in all of the 35 plus years that I've been using Onkyo receivers. I'm not mad about 1 failure in all that time, but the hell you go through just to get one of these replaced... Now that deserves a dedicated movie! At flagship pricing levels, nobody should have to put up with that crap! I'm still an Onkyo fan, but will absolutely get the insurance next time.
In this case I did get lucky after all the back and forth BS, I have a brand new RZ70 sitting on the shelf, so that's my insurance.

Would this be a nice upgrade to a Denon AVR-x1700h?
Depends on feature needs.

If you need the extra channels then yes it would.

Some would say Dirac Live but with the advent of A1EVO Express, that advantage isn't really there anymore.

Here is a feature comparison.

This is an insanely solid deal

-2 independent sub outs (rz50 doesn't have this)
-9ch is more than enough for 90% home theaters let alone a living room
-Dirac ready. Only need to pay for DLBC depending on your needs

Sure, next model will be capable of Dirac ART (very likely for an extra fee) but is also reportedly to be significantly more expensive

Can someone explain what is the purpose of the rz50?

It has 20w more power per ch (they claim) - this is negligible
- 2 additional channels with an amp - 9 is plenty for most of us
- 1 additional hdmi port - few utilize all hdmi ports
-But it lacks a second independent sub out which to me is huge

Is there anything else??? Not like the DACs are upgraded.

Other than the extra channels, that's it.

If you don't need more than 9 channels(I agree most don't) and after Dirac , this is best unit to get especially for this price ime.

The new models adding access to ART will come with a hefty cost/MSRP.
Then you still need to pay an extra $600 to get it!

As great as ART is(own it) not many people will get the worth out of the high cost ime.

Just look at this past BF Dirac sale.
Denon/Marantz owners could have gotten it for $560.
Very few people bought it.
Most don't even find DLBC worth the cost imo.
If you use a sub(s), DLBC will suffice for most people ime.

Is the app for this one any better than the crappy Pioneer app for the LX505? I'm to my wits end dealing with issues with it. It's so dated, slow, and clunky!

I have a Pioneer LX505 which is super similar to the RZ50. App disconnects from the receiver all the time, glitchy, Bluetooth is a waste of time as it never connects. If I want to stream music only with the receiver I have to disconnect the hdmi arc to the tv otherwise it keeps "force" switching the input to "TV" versus Bluetooth/spotify/airplay. I'd buy an RZ30 or 50 in two seconds if it meant I didn't have these issues. The pioneer app is just so dang dated and clunky!

Oooh I know that pain. Lived it and solved it and.....

Tell me how you function. What exactly are you trying to do? Hint, turn ARC off!
