Q: QuestionDoes each hdmi input support 4k at 120hz?(3 answers)
A: AnswerOfficially, per specifications and confirmed by two product managers from Onkyo, Ports 1-3 support 4K120. Remaining ports do not.Answered by Jeff
- A: AnswerThat is not a simple question. The receiver supports 5.1.4 without any extra equipment needed. Plus, it can drive fairly difficult speakers. Also, depends on your budget and sound requirements. If you have 9 foot ceilings, you can go with speaker that have upward firing speakers built in or put ones on like Polk Reserve R900 Height Module Speaker as an example. If you want to go all out, you can have height speakers installed in your listening area. I would google 5.1.4 dolby atmos to research. I think any decent 5.1 setup where you can buy 4 more satellites for heights will be a good start. In ceiling speakers for heights is yet another option.

- A: AnswerI currently have the marantz sr7010 av receiver. I do not have the onkyo RZ50 but am seriously looking to buy it. I read a review somewhere (I think amazon) where somebody wrote that the onkyo RZ50 was better than the marantz sr7010 av receiver. my marantz does not have 2.1 hdmi ,imax,or dirac live ,which is why i would consider the ONKYO to be an UPGRADE over the marantz!

Q: QuestionWhen is the Onkyo TX RZ50 gonna be in stock?(2 answers)
A: AnswerA local authorized Onkyo dealer is now stating that these are backordered until the end of January 2022. I wouldn't be surprised if the availability date continues to get pushed back beyond that. The industry chip shortage is causing a lot of supply issues right now.Answered by Shaheen
- A: Answer120 two-channel into 8 ohms, with reserve for higher into 4 ohms. Naturally into five or seven channels, wpc goes down, as is normal for avrs... but 120 good solid base watts is spec and the reviews I've seen confirm it... that's plenty. Supposedly an amazing avr, with a solid user-friendly streamer too. A bang-for-your-buck "statement product" for Onkyo.

Best receiver for the price!
Oh man what can I say… 1st off I was able to snag this baby for the $1,399 price couple days before it went up to $1,599! Talk about luck with all this inflation. Bought it, got delivered to my local Best Buy on my actual birthday!(9-13-87) Talk about an awesome birthday gift! Got it home and a couple days later I set up all my speaker connections to an upgrade of 5.1.4 Dolby Atmos config coming from 5.1.2! That same night I calibrated my Klipch speakers with the amazing Dirac Live after my family went to sleep of course. Need a QUIET time to set this baby up. Theres a little bit of a learning curve with it nothing too fancy. You can use the phone app or computer but I used my laptop for the full experience. After Dirac Live did it’s thing, everything sounded ANAZING, more detailed and clear and that’s coming from my now old TX-NR686 model which still sounds great. I put that one in the living room. I have my RZ50 in my game/theater room now. I’m happy with this receiver. The new Denon x3800h has Dirac Live but you have to wait for a software update sometime next year. On top of that, it’s not even free! Like c’mon seriously?! You still have to pay even more for what the Denon x3800h costs where as this beautiful RZ50 has it built right in for free straight out of the box ready to rock and roll. Do yourself a favor, stop waiting, stop contemplating and pick yourself up the Onkyo TX-RZ50!!!

Be Ready to be Amazed with Stellar Sound
Really can't beat the value for the price. I have it setup in a 7.2.4 Dolby Atmos speaker configuration with an external amplifier with my front stage and rear surrounds powered by the external amplifier. In this setup with running eleven channels the rear surrounds have to be powered by an external amplifier. Wish you could only power the front stage Fronts and Center but for the price and the sound you get from this receiver you can't beat it. Movies Music Games and Sports all sound so dynamic with the different sound modes you can choose from. After running Dirac Live with my computer and just the setup mic and not really knowing everything about the Dirac App the sound blew me away. Getting Dirac Live with the receiver was the main reason I got this receiver. It's some of the best room calibration you can get. Other receiver's Denon and Marantz make you pay almost 500 for all the software with everything you can do with those receiver's. I just recently got a umik-1 from minidsp and also have watched a few YouTube videos on Dirac Live. So interested in seeing how much better it will sound. But really with just the setup mic and Dirac Live it has blown me away how good it sounds. There is a clicking noise sometimes with protecting the amp it makes occasionally that sounds the same as when turning it on but it's not a deal breaker for me. This really has been a great purchase for me so far and hoping to get a new 4k tv with 4k 120hz so I can play Xbox Series X and PS5. But so far on my LG C8 the games picture and frame rates have been great. So pleased with this purchase. You can't get a better deal.

Amazing 8k receiver
This receiver is amazing. I upgraded my older RZ series onkyo receiver, and this one is packed! My new klipsch speakers have new life pumped into them. Plus Dolby atmos & THX sounds are awesome. Plus it has true 4k with 120 hz pass through which is my main reason for purchasing this receiver, which appearently is very uncommon. Most receivers have 4k with only 60 hz pass through… but this one is amzaing and powerful. My front speakers can handle upto 150watts and my surround sound speakers can handle up to 120watts and my subwoofer can handle upto 400watts. This receiver handles all that wattage and ohms with ease and power. Very pleased with my purchase.
