Onkyo has announced two new home theater in a box (HTiB) systems: the 7.1-channel HT-S5400 and the 5.1-channel HT-S3400. The receivers feature four HDMI inputs and one output plus support for 3D video.
The receivers of both systems also support Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio plus an Audio Return Channel. Both receivers also support Audyssey Dynamic EQ and Audyssey Dynamic Volume, which automatically level the volume of loud TV commercials.
The HT-S5400 7.1 system has the most extensive feature set of the two systems. Thanks to two extra audio channels it can support Dolby Pro Logic IIz which improves surround sound performance plus has better quality audio circuitry. The HT-S5400′s receiver also has a USB port on the front for direct connection to an iPod/iPhone. Both the HT-S3400 does not include the USB port. Both systems include a subwoofer.
Pricing and Availability
The Onkyo HT-S5400 and the HT-S3400 will be available at retail in April for MSRP $599 and $379, respectively.
