HT-S9800THX Home Theater System

THX(R) Certified Select theater-reference sound

THX Certified Select guarantees the same reference volume level of a commercial theater in rooms where the viewing position is about 10-12 ft. from the screen. To gain certification for reference sound within strict THX(R) sound quality parameters, receivers must pass 2,000 bench-tests in 75 categories covering 14,000 data points.

Dynamic Audio Amplification

Refined over 70 years to deliver emotion in high fidelity, DAA features a custom High-Current Low-Noise Power Transformer, customized capacitors, and discrete amp output stages. Unique topology prevents phase-shift while high current improves speaker control for true dynamic speed. Driving 4-ohm loads through all channels, DAA has power to move.

Dolby Atmos(R) and DTS:X(R) - setting sound free

Dolby Atmos(R) and DTS:X(R) formats allow engineers to map sound anywhere in 3D space, effects moving from speaker to speaker all around the room and wrapping your audience in the latest films and games. You can also enjoy your 3D speaker layout with classic titles. Dolby Surround(R) and DTS(R) Neural:X find overhead cues in legacy soundtracks and upmix for awesome spatial realism.

Music Made Easy with Chromecast built-in

Stream any music from your smartphone, laptop, or PC to your Onkyo receiver with ease. Control playback with Chromecast enabled apps you know and love from your iPhone, iPad, Android phone or tablet, Mac(R) or Windows(R) laptop, or Chromebook .

Ready for DTS Play-Fi(R) multi-room audio

DTS Play-Fi allows you to enjoy high-quality music from connected online services, networked media servers, and your device library over Wi-Fi(R) to any number of compatible products using the Onkyo Music Control App for iPad, iPhone, and Android smartphones/tablets. DTS Play-Fi can synchronize the music in every room. Each member of your family can use their own device to listen to their music in a room or group of rooms. DTS Play-Fi lets you structure a comprehensive multi-room ecosystem that satisfies virtually any need.

Ready for 4K HDR entertainment

Enjoy support for HDR (High Dynamic Range) video including HDR10, HLG, Dolby Vision(R), and BT.2020. The 4:4:4 color space is also supported. Six HDMI inputs, ARC-ready MAIN OUT, and SUB OUT pass 4K/60p and HDR video from player to compatible TV and projector and all terminals are HDCP 2.2 compliant.

Powered Zone 2

Connect speakers in another room to the Powered Zone 2 outputs to share analog and digital audio sources, including HDMI(R) inputs* and digital audio. These terminals are separate from those connecting your home theater, so keep your 7.2 or 5.2.2-ch layout and switch to multi-zone audio anytime using remote or Onkyo Controller. Play different sources in either zone simultaneously, synchronize playback in both, or distribute audio to Zone 2 exclusively.

Onkyo Controller app for easy multi-room management
