In these testing economic times, you can trust Onkyo to deliver maximum
bang for your hard-earned buck. With the new HT-RC160, you have a
multi-talented 7.2-channel receiver that offers the latest connecting,
upscaling, and decoding technology on a bedrock of obsessively fine-tuned
Onkyo amplification. Five HDMI?„? 1.3a inputs enable clean, one-cable
connection of multiple high-def sources, including Blu-ray Disc, gaming

Audio?„? and Dolby?® TrueHD. The HT-RC160 even includes
Dolby?€™s latest technology, Dolby?® Pro Logic?® IIz, which adds
?€?front height?€? channels to bring a spacious new vertical
dimension to the sound stage. Along with intelligent Audyssey equalization
