      Amplifier

      Onkyo TX-SR333 Onkyo TX-SR313

      5 channel Amplifier: Onkyo TX-SR333 features 5 channel power amplifier. It is rated at 65 W (8 Ω, 20 Hz - 20 kHz, 2 channel driven).

      5 channel Amplifier: Onkyo TX-SR313 features 5 channel power amplifier. It is rated at 65 W (8 Ω, 20 Hz - 20 kHz, 2 channel driven).

      • WRAT (Wide Range Amp Technology): Onkyo TX-SR333 and Onkyo TX-SR313 feature 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.

      Speaker Configurations

      Onkyo TX-SR333's and Onkyo TX-SR313's amplifiers can be assigned for different speaker configurations.

      • Configurations: Available configurations are:
      • Onkyo TX-SR333: 5.1 with internal amplifier.
      • Onkyo TX-SR313: 5.1 with internal amplifier.
      • Sound Processing

        • Compressed Music Enhancer: Onkyo TX-SR333 and Onkyo TX-SR313 feature Compressed Music Enhancer which enhances the quality of the music files with lossy compression.
        • Advanced Music Optimizer: Compressed music enhancement in Onkyo TX-SR333 and Onkyo TX-SR313 is done by Onkyo’s Advanced Music Optimizer. While MP3 or AAC files may sound fine through the headphones of your portable digital player, the limitations of these files can be exposed when played back through a quality home entertainment system. This is because a significant amount of high-frequency bit information is lost during the file-compression process. To counter this, Onkyo has designed the Advanced Music Optimizer to compensate for lost bit information and improve the quality of compressed audio signals. This results in a clearer and more expansive sound. Also included in this technology is a loudness correction feature that further improves the audio character of compressed files.
