      6. Amplifier

      Onkyo TX-NR646 Yamaha RX-A1000

      7 channel Amplifier: Onkyo TX-NR646 features 7 channel power amplifier. It is rated at 100 W (8 Ω, 20 Hz - 20 kHz, 2 channel driven) and is able to drive 4 ohm speakers.

      7 channel Amplifier: Yamaha RX-A1000 features 7 channel power amplifier. It is rated at 105 W (8 Ω, 20 Hz - 20 kHz, 2 channel driven) and is able to drive 4 ohm speakers.

      • WRAT (Wide Range Amp Technology): Onkyo TX-NR646 features Onkyo’s Wide Range Amp Technology (WRAT) circuit layout that prevents phase shifting by pushing the roll-off point higher than the listening-level frequency. Amplifying sound without phase shift creates an uncommonly well-focused and realistic audio image. If phase shift occurs and signal timing is not accurate, then neither is the resulting audio image.

      10. Inputs and Outputs

      Audio

      • Phono Input: There is an MM phono input on Onkyo TX-NR646 and Yamaha RX-A1000 with built-in phono stage for connecting the moving magnet cartridge output of the turntable directly to the receiver.
      • 7.1 Multichannel Input: In case you have a high quality Blu-Ray or a DVD player with multichannel analog outputs you may connect it to a 7.1 multichannel analog inputs of Yamaha RX-A1000 and use high quality DACs of the player instead of the ones in the receiver.
      • Analog Pre-Outs: Yamaha RX-A1000 has 7.2 preamplifier outputs which allows you to connect the receiver to the external power amplifier. You may want to use a high quality external amplifier for certain channels, usually for front L/R and center, and use the receiver to power the rest. Also, both receivers have 7 channel processing but have only 7 channel amplifiers, so they need external amplifiers connected to the analog pre-outs in order to reach their maximum speaker configurations.
      • Analog Line Inputs and Outputs: There are 7 pair of line inputs on Onkyo TX-NR646 and 9 pair of line inputs on Yamaha RX-A1000 for connecting sources with analog outputs. There are also 1 pair of line outputs on the receivers.
      • Digital Inputs: 2 optical inputs and 1 coaxial input are available on Onkyo TX-NR646 and 4 optical inputs, 1 optical output and 3 coaxial inputs are available on Yamaha RX-A1000 for digital audio connections.
