These two new models, TX-SR604E and TX-SR674E, from Onkyo offer superb features and lots of power for a tight budget. Below you’ll find some more details and prices to complement our recent News on the TX-SR674E.
TX-SR604E
Priced at about 600 Euros, the TX-SR604E boasts 7×140 watts into 6 ohms, offering two input HDMI ports and one output HDMI connection.
When you’re talking small budget then a installation with calibration by your local professional may not fit in it either (although we still believe its the best way to go, if you can…), so for easy set-up Onkyo includes an automatic calibration microphone “Audyssey”. In addition, the universal remote control is packed full of easy-to-use functions.
TX-SR674E in Silver
For “only” about 150 € more, the TX-SR674E gives you an additional 10 watts per channel (7 × 150 W) but what’s more is you get a stylish brushed aluminium finish on the front panel. Analog signals can be “upconverted” to HDMI. In addition, you will be able to can connect your iPod via the Onkyo DS-A2 station, on option, for another 100 €.
TX-SR674E back panel
From preliminary specifications, it looks as though the HDMI will be v1.1, limiting the image to 720p or 1080i max, and not 1080p.
TX-SR674E in Black
The two models will be available in both black and silver and should reach the stores in the second half of September.
