As the first — and most affordable — of Onkyo's new-season network-capable A/V receivers, the TX-NR708 brings the audio goldmine of internet radio to your living room. Now you can kick back on the sofa and surf thousands of different channels on vTuner.

With seven HDMI® 1.4a inputs, the TX-NR708 offers copious connection possibilities, as well as 3D video compatibility. For your convenience, one of the HDMI inputs is located on the front panel, along with a USB input for flash memory devices and iPod models. If you want to connect a non-HDMI multichannel component — say, a legacy SACD or DVD player — the TX-NR708 sports a full complement of 7.1-channel analogue inputs.

The Onkyo name connotes serious audio quality, so it's no surprise to find low-jitter Burr-Brown DACs and sophisticated Audyssey MultEQ® room-correction onboard, along with lossless HD audio formats and the expansive surround dimensions of Audyssey DSX™ and Dolby® Pro Logic® IIz. All of this processing and connectivity power receives the coveted THX® Select2 Plus™ stamp of approval.
