Introducing the RZ Series

Our premium RZ Series A/V receivers deliver a significant boost to

the dynamism, detail, and accuracy of music and movie soundtracks

for a listening experience that packs deep emotional impact. The

TX-RZ820 features quality components, such

as large custom capacitors, to provide high

instantaneous current for fast transients and

wideband frequency response down to 5 Hz.

Discrete non-phase-shift amp circuits clearly

focus the audio image and cut distortion even

at floor-shaking volumes.

THX

Certified Select

™

Reference Sound

THX Certified Select guarantees the same high-volume sound

you experience at a commercial theater in your home. To gain

certification, amplifiers must pass the industry’s most severe

bench-tests covering every aspect of audio performance.

THX Certified Select components are ideally suited to rooms where

the screen-to-seat viewing distance is approximately 3 meters

(10 ft.), and the room volume is approximately 57 cubic meters

(2,000 cubic feet).

Unleash Dolby Atmos

or DTS:X

Home Theater

Object-based soundtracks allow independently mixed sound to play

through any speaker in your system, moving above and around you

with breathtaking realism. The TX-RZ820 reproduces 5.2.2-channel

Dolby Atmos or DTS:X formats,

with AccuReflex correcting the

phase of direct and indirect sounds

for cohesive audio imaging with

Dolby Atmos-enabled speakers.

Upmixing Solutions for Legacy Soundtracks

DTS Neural:X

™

identifies spatial effects in multichannel soundtracks

and upmixes for 3D playback through object-audio-ready speaker

systems. Dolby Surround also upmixes legacy sound formats so you

can experience multidimensional playback of legacy sound formats in

a Dolby Atmos environment.

TX-RZ820 with ease. Control playback with Chromecast-enabled
