The 9.2 channel TX-NR1008 outputs the same 135 watts /channel but it now has the latest HDMI ver1.4a standard that supports 3D playback and Audio Return Channel (ARC). It is also the first Onkyo to support FLAC files in addition to other more common file formats like MP3, WMA, WMA Lossless, FLAC, WAV, Ogg Vorbis, AAC, and LPCM. It can also access a wide range of streaming Internet radio services, from Pandora, Rhapsody, vTuner, and Sirius Internet Radio®, and newly expanded services from Napster, Mediafly, and Slacker internet radio.
All three receivers have an iPhone/iPod -compatible front-side USB port that allows on-screen display of album art and navigation via the included remote.
Video and audio circuitry are also upgraded. All video sources, regardless of resolution, are upscaled to 1080p by the Faroudja DCDi Cinema processor. The TX-NR1008 is equipped with advanced ISF video calibration controls for independent optimization and fine-grained adjustments of every video source. Other processing highlights include DTS-HD Master Audio and Dolby TrueHD for pristine lossless audio. Bi-amping capability and a huge array of connection options complete what is an outstanding home theater receiver.
