More details from Press Release: The Onkyo HT-S7200 and HT-S6200 feature five and four HDMI 1.3a
inputs, respectively, and are completely compatible with 1080p HD
video. The HT-S7200 also incorporates upscaling of component and
composite video sources to 1080i, including Faroudja DCDi Edge
deinterlacing to eliminate unwanted conversion artifacts. There is
audio processing for every major surround format, including decoding
for Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio lossless audio formats, as
well as Dolby’s new ProLogic IIz algorithm, which introduces a third
dimension to surround sound through the addition of a pair of ‘height’
channels above the front left and right channel speakers. Onkyo’s HT-S7200 and HT-S6200 each include a full complement of
seven speakers with attractive gloss black finishes and a powerful
subwoofer for deep bass reproduction. The HT-S7200 speaker system
features dual-drive tallboy front speakers consisting of dual
3-1/4-inch woofers and 1-inch balanced dome tweeter – that deliver a
fuller mid-range while making a sleek
visual statement – a horizontal center channel with the same drivers,
and four surround speakers. In addition to its inclusion with the
HT-S7200, this speaker system is also available separately as the
standalone model SKS-HT870 speaker package. The HT-S6200 incorporates
gloss finished bookshelf sized speakers with single 4-inch woofers and
1-inch balanced dome tweeter on the three front speakers and 3-1/4-inch
full range speakers for the surrounds. Both systems derive deep bass
sound effects from a powerful, 230-watt bass reflex subwoofer with a
10-inch woofer. Both the Onkyo HT-S7200 and HT-S6200 include a trio of acoustic
correction technologies: Audyssey 2EQ room correction and calibration
system, Audyssey Dynamic EQ, and Audyssey Dynamic Volume. When used in
combination with the 2EQ system, the latter dynamically adjust the
receiver’s output to correct for room acoustics, listening position,
and playback-level variations, delivering an overall experience much
closer match to what the audio engineers originally intended. The Onkyo HT-S7200 and HT-S6200 include Onkyo’s exclusive Universal
Port (U-Port) which enables one-cable connection for the included UP-A1
iPod™ dock. This control and charging dock integrates both audio and
video playback from Apple™ iPhone™ or iPod portable
devices, greatly extending the flexibility of these systems to
integrate consumers’ electronic entertainment devices. Additionally,
the U-Port connection can also provide a one-cable connection to the
company’s optional HD-Radio tuner, making it simple to bring this new
transmission format to the home theater.
