It's also earned Lucasfilm Ltd's THX Select2 Plus certification for home theater excellence — you're guaranteed thrilling, high-impact surround sound for all of your movies, music, TV shows, and video games. Exclusive THX Plus listening modes keep surround effects detailed and accurate, especially at lower volume levels. The 'SR707 also decodes the latest surround sound formats, including Dolby® TrueHD and DTS-HD™ Master Audio — two high-resolution surround sound formats found on more and more Blu-ray movies. Add new dimensions to your surround sound experience Along with the latest high-res surround decoding, the future-ready 'SR707 boasts Dolby® ProLogic® IIz. This cool feature lets you add an optional pair of front "height" speakers for a larger soundstage with an expanded vertical dimension — a perfect complement to your video games and movies. And this receiver offers Audyssey DSX (Dynamic Surround Expansion). Like Dolby Pro Logic IIz, DSX processing allows you to add a pair of front height speakers in place of back surrounds. Or, you can choose to connect optional front "wide" speakers instead, creating an exceptionally broad soundstage for greater home theater impact and realism. Flexible video connections and 1080p HDMI upconversion This receiver's 1080p-compatible HDMI inputs let you connect up to 6 digital high-def sources for easy switching. There's even a handy front-panel HDMI input for hooking up a high-def camcorder or game console. And thanks to analog-to-HDMI conversion, you can pass all of the video sources in your system to your TV via a single HDMI cable. Plus, the 'SR707 can upconvert any non-HD video source, enhancing the picture quality of standard DVDs and older video sources viewed on your HDTV. Precision auto setup tailors sound to your room The 'SR707 includes Audyssey MultEQ®, a sophisticated speaker calibration system that helps you get the most accurate home theater sound possible. This receiver uses the included microphone to analyze sound from up to six different listening positions, then automatically adjusts volume, equalization, and delay settings for each of your speakers. You get precise response across a wide listening area instead of just a single "sweet spot," so everyone in the room can enjoy optimal home theater sound. Multi-room music and more Two-room/two-source audio capability means that you can have surround sound in your main room while a housemate listens to a different stereo music source in another room. A handy learning/multibrand remote makes it easy to control all of the components in your system. You can integrate your iPod® by adding Onkyo's contro
