    • High Resolution Audio: true (Hear music the way musicians and sound technicians intended it to be heard. Products that support hi-res audio deliver audio signals with a dynamic range and bandwidth far greater than that of a standard CD so you'll be able to enjoy pure music with outstanding sound quality. The device supports high-resolution audio signals, which more closely resemble the quality of music as it was originally recorded, with more texture and detail than can be heard via typical music streaming services or CDs.)
    • Number of Audio Zones: 3 (Audio zones, typically designated by rooms in a home, are areas in which all speakers are dependent on the same sound source. Whether a zone encompasses one or multiple rooms, the receiver or preamp/processor is used to control all aspects of its audio and is able to select which zones receive sound.)
    • Number of Audio Zone Source Outputs: 3 (Multiple source outputs from the receiver mean different speakers are able to receive different sound sources from the receiver or preamp/processor. For every output, a different sound source can be accessed simultaneously in different zones. For example, two source outputs could be a streaming media player in one room and a Blu-ray player in another.)
    • Surround Sound Supported: DTS 96/24, DTS:X, Dolby Atmos, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD (Surround sound systems use multiple audio channels and speakers to create an immersive sound experience for the listener. There are also various proprietary technologies that imitate this kind of sound via a device's built-in speakers or soundbar.)
    • Supported File Formats: WAV, AIFF, FLAC, DSD, ALAC
    • DSP Modes: 10 (Available sound modes that alter how the audio is processed and played back. A common example is a mode that allows stereo audio to be played on all available surround sound speakers, creating a simulated surround sound effect.)

Q: Is it normal to use the volume so high on this receiver? I’m currently playing it at -12.5 to get a cinematic experience. It’s a bit over 70%. I was using Sony products before and never had to go so high. Speakers are set at 6 ohms

A: Yeah, I’ve noticed this as well. I had a previous Pioneer Elite and didn’t have to crank the volume as much. This is definitely an Onkyo box now, but the sound quality is great.

Q: Does this have subwoofer output? Can't tell from picture of back of unit

A: Yes. There are dual outputs for two subwoofers

Q: I have seen references on the internet that the Logitech Harmony Elite universal remote does not work with this receiver. Is anyone using the Logitech harmony Elite with the 503?

A: I have the 503, and the Logitech Harmony One. Yes, it works great. Honestly though, we’ve been using the Samsung all in one remote that came with our new TV. That works great as well.

Q: Can you have different audio from different sources going to each zone?

A: Yes, you can use the mobile app to merge your sound or port different sound to different zones.

Q: is the output for connected speakers sufficient to power full house speaker system without an inline amplifier?

A: I guess the answer depends on the size of your speakers and the acoustics of your room. I have a BOSE surround sound system: 4 cube speakers in the corners, a center speaker plus the woofer. The sound is rich and natural.
