Onkyo HT-S7200 review
Built around a solid and well-specified receiver, the HT-S7200 has earned
its place at the top of Onkyo?€™s 2009 range of receiver/speaker
packages. With five HDMI?„? 1.3a inputs, the receiver is fully equipped
to handle multiple sources carrying high-def 1080p video and HD audio from
Dolby and DTS. The system also handles Dolby?® Pro Logic?® IIz, which
adds a spacious new vertical dimension to movie and game soundtracks.
Connected component- or composite-video sources can be upscaled to 1080i
and deinterlaced via Faroudja DCDi Edge?„? to eliminate unwanted
artifacts. Meanwhile, sophisticated Audyssey technologies work to optimize
volume levels and adjust the sound stage to suit your room?€™s
acoustics. Further convenience is provided by a Universal Port, which
enables one-cable connection of the included Dock for the iPod or
Onkyo?€™s optional HD Radio?„? tuner. The highlight of the
well-balanced speaker package is a pair of floor-standing, dual-drive
tallboys that deliver a fuller mid-range while making a sleek visual
statement.
