When THX created a category for integrated systems, with parameters set for overall system performance rather than for separate loudspeaker and amplifier performance, the challenge was too tempting for Onkyo’s engineers to resist. Piling their energy into the world-first HT-S990THX, they came up with a powerful, high-performance solution that combines the convenience of all-in-one systems with the performance of much higher-priced separate components. On top of a full suite of THX processing capabilities, the HT-S990THX is anchored by key Onkyo technologies, such as Wide Range Amplifier Technology (WRAT). The HT-S990THX will cater for virtually any DVD/universal player, cable/set-top box, DVR or gaming console through its switching capabilities—all upconverted and then delivered to your display via a single component video connection. And if that level of integration isn’t enough, you’re also primed for the launch of HD-DVD and Blu-ray Discs through 7.1-multichannel inputs delivering the full potential of HD audio formats. This system has been designed for flexible placement in all but the largest of rooms—a clear match for any lifestyle.
