Onkyo TX-NR717	Pioneer VSX-534
7 channel Amplifier: Onkyo TX-NR717 features 7 channel power amplifier. It is rated at 110 W (8 Ω, 20 Hz - 20 kHz, 2 channel driven) and is able to drive 4 ohm speakers.	5 channel Direct Energy Amplifier: Pioneer VSX-534 features 5 channel power amplifier with Direct Energy design. It is rated at 80 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-NR717 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.
• 3-Stage Inverted Darlington Circuitry: Onkyo TX-NR717 features 3-Stage Inverted Darlington Circuitry. Standard amplifiers employ a negative feedback (NFB) design that counters distortion by feeding back the opposite phase of the output signal into the input stage. Unfortunately, NFB is easily affected by inverse electromotive forces from the speakers, leading to an increase in circuit noise. Three-Stage Inverted Darlington Circuitry is a core Onkyo technology incorporating a low-NFB design that makes the sound more natural. Sensitive to oscillations, this circuitry requires very advanced control technology in order to be incorporated into the amplifier.

THX™ Select™2 Plus certification

Onkyo TX-NR717 is THX™ Select™2 Plus certified. This means that it is ideally suited for a room where the screen-to-seat viewing distance is approximately 3 to 4 meters, and the room size is approximately 56 cubic meters.

Bi-amp Capability

Onkyo TX-NR717's and Pioneer VSX-534's amplifiers can be assigned for different speaker configurations.

• Dolby Atmos Configurations: The following speaker configurations are supported for Dolby Atmos:
Onkyo TX-NR717: Not supported.
Pioneer VSX-534: 3.1.2 with internal amplifier.
• DTS:X Configurations: The following speaker configurations are supported for DTS:X:
Onkyo TX-NR717: Not supported.
Pioneer VSX-534: The speaker configurations for DTS:X are the same as for Dolby Atmos - 3.1.2 with internal amplifier.
• Configurations without height channels: There are also other speaker configurations available which do not include height channels:
Onkyo TX-NR717: 5.2, 7.2 with internal amplifier.
Pioneer VSX-534: 5.2 with internal amplifier.
• Front Wide Channel support: With the presence of two front wide speakers you can enhance the front surround stage. The following speaker configurations are available for front wide channels:
Onkyo TX-NR717: 7.2.
Pioneer VSX-534: Does not support.
• Bi-Amp: Onkyo TX-NR717 is able to bi-amp up to 2 main channels simultaneously. During bi-amplification two amplifiers are used for one speaker. One amplifier powers the midrange and tweeter section of the speaker and another amplifier powers the low frequency woofers. Each amplifier is less loaded and performs better. In order to use this feature speakers must have 2 pairs of connectors.

Dolby Atmos

Pioneer VSX-534 supports Dolby Atmos.

• Dolby Surround Upmixer: Pioneer VSX-534 supports Dolby Surround Upmixer. If the content is not mixed in Dolby Atmos then the Dolby surround upmixer will expand the audio to all channels including ceiling speakers. The upmixer has replaced the Dolby Pro Logic II family with improved upmixing algorithms.
• Dolby Atmos Height Virtualization: Pioneer VSX-534 supports Dolby Atmos Height Virtualization which is a digital signal processing solution that leverages Dolby's deep understanding of human audio perception to create the sensation of overhead sound from the listener-level speakers.

DTS:X

Pioneer VSX-534 supports DTS:X.

• DTS Neural:X: Pioneer VSX-534 features DTS Neural:X which is an advanced upmixer that can take non DTS:X content and upmix it to the DTS:X speaker layout. It has replaced the DTS Neo family with improved flexibility.
• DTS Virtual:X: Pioneer VSX-534 features DTS Virtual:X which bridges the gap between DTS:X codec and the reality of so many consumers' homes, allowing you to enjoy multi-dimensional sound regardless of room size, layout, or speaker configuration. If you have a limited speaker setup you will miss a full immersive potential of your entertainment system. DTS Virtual:X adds height and surround audio effect to your system without adding height speakers. It works with multiple configurations and delivers immersive sound experience out of 5.1 or even 2.1 speaker layouts.
• DTS Dialog Control: Pioneer VSX-534 has DTS Dialog Control. This function adjusts the dialog levels during playback of the DTS:X stream. It allows you to separately increase the dialog levels in contrast with the background sound and hear dialog easily even under noisy circumstances.

Audyssey DSX

Onkyo TX-NR717 supports Audyssey DSX which allows you to augment a standard five-channel home theater with either two Front Wide or two Front High speakers. The Wide channels create an expansive soundstage and bring out convincing directional effects. Alternatively, Height channels can add a vertical dimension to movie and game soundtracks.

Onkyo TX-NR717 comes with 8 HDMI inputs. It has 2 outputs which work parallelly and output the same signal.

Pioneer VSX-534 comes with 4 HDMI inputs. It has 1 output.

• 1080/60p Passthrough on Onkyo TX-NR717: All inputs pass up to 1080p video signal.
  4K/60Hz Passthrough on Pioneer VSX-534: All inputs pass up to 4K/60p (YCbCr 4:4:4) video signal.
• 4K Upscaling: Both receivers can upscale up to 4K/30p (Marvell Qdeo) from HDMI sources. Onkyo TX-NR717 can also upscale from analog sources.
• Analog To HDMI Upconversion: Onkyo TX-NR717 supports analog to HDMI Upconversion, so you can input your analog video sources and output them digitally via HDMI. This means that you will need only one HDMI cable to connect to your TV.
• BT.2020 Color Space: BT.2020 or Rec. 2020 is a color standard which delivers a wider color gamut compared to Rec. 709. It covers approximately 75% of the total visual spectrum while the Rec. 709 covers only 35% (available on Pioneer VSX-534 only).
• HDCP 2.2 Copy Protection: Both receivers are HDCP 2.2 compliant which is a requirement for 4K/HDR copy-protected content transmission.
• 3D Ready: Both receivers are able to pass 3D video through HDMI.

HDR (High Dynamic Range)

Onkyo TX-NR717 does not support HDR.

Pioneer VSX-534 supports HDR10, Dolby Vision and Hybrid Log-Gamma. High dynamic range video has greater dynamic range than standard dynamic range (SDR) video with brighter whites and deeper blacks. The result is greater contrast and more details in dark and bright areas, better color and depth.
