Overview Reviews Details Accessories Articles & Videos by Marshall Chase Onkyo's TX-NR3009 receiver is an exceptional gateway to rich new worlds of entertainment. Blu-ray movies, HDTV programs, and video games pack an emotional wallop with clear, digital sound to match the pristine images on-screen. Flexing audio muscle Music and movies have natural spikes in volume that can strain a receiver's power supply enough to cause inconsistencies and distortion. The 'NR3009 has four separate power transformers so you get unfailing performance, even when your songs and soundtracks contain challenging dynamic peaks. Six Burr-Brown DACs deliver precise, high-fidelity sound from every digital source, whether it's a disc or a music file. And if you have a big room, you'll be glad that THX Ultra2 Plus certification has your back ensuring that the 'NR3009 meets exacting standards for theater-quality sound reproduction. Video power to spare High-definition video requires tremendous processing capability. That's why Onkyo included the HQV® Vida processor which ensures that all of your connected video sources will look their best. And for DVDs, this circuitry teams with a high-performance Qdeo scaler that upconverts standard-def discs to near-HD quality. Music from your iPod®, the Internet, and more The front-panel USB input is ready and waiting for your iPod. This direct digital connection doesn't just charge your player's battery it also supercharges your music. The 'NR3009's built-in digital-to-analog converters to make high bit-rate music files sound like the original CD. Connect the receiver to your home network via its Ethernet port and you can enjoy music stored on your PC through your full-fledged, high-performance audio system, instead of a pair of pint-sized computer speakers. Plus you can also enjoy thousands of Internet radio stations or let PANDORA® Internet radio create a set of customized "stations" based on your own tastes. Or add Onkyo's HD Radio tuner to listen to the free digital over-the-air programming that many AM and FM stations now broadcast. DTS Neo:X improves surround sound realism Onkyo is the first receiver manufacturer to include DTS Neo:X technology. It lets you use the receiver's nine channels of power to hook up the traditional five speakers of a home theater setup, plus a pair of "front height" speakers and a pair of "front width" speakers. You have some other speaker configuration options as well the best choice will depend in part on the size and shape of your room. All those extra channels of sound create a fully engulfing 3D audio experience so realistic, you may find yourself diving for cover next time you watch that action flick. THX® certified to ensure state-of-the-art home theater performance Lucasfilm Ltd.'s THX Ultra2 Plus certification delivers guaranteed home theater excellence. THX Certified receivers reproduce studio reference levels tailored to your room. Put simply, you will hear music and movie soundtracks free from distortion, just as the artists and recording engineers originally created them. Exclusive THX Plus listening modes keep surround effects detailed and accurate, even at lower listening levels. Custom setup without the customary installer's fee Even the best receivers can be held back by the acoustic imperfections of a room. Thanks to Audyssey MultEQ® XT32 your system can breathe again. This sophisticated calibration program uses an included microphone to analyze sound from up to eight different listening positions, then automatically adjusts level, equalization, and delay settings for each of your speakers. 'XT32 is an advanced version with greater enhancements for your surround speakers and sub. You get precise response across a wide listening area instead of just a single sweet spot, so everyone will enjoy clear, well-balanced surround sound. We heard something new Onkyo recently announced that the Spotify® online music streaming service is now available on this receiver, along with several others in Onkyo's 2011 line. We decided to try it out. Our Onkyo receiver's on-screen display showed our Spotify Premium playlists, including our synced iTunes® library. We were able to search for more music via the receiver remote and virtual keyboard. Spotify is a cloud-based service with a library of over 15 million songs. You will need to download a free firmware upgrade. Go to Onkyo's website for instructions. Requires a wireless home network. Receiver requires wired connection to the router. Works only with Spotify premium service. Subscription fees apply. Broadband service required. Learn about the ins and outs of HDMI connections at the Crutchfield Learning Center.

Purchased this unit from the Crutchfield outlet as a scratch and dent. It arrived in a very abused shipping carton and it did have some minor dents and bent connectors. I could be ok with that , but the unit would not produce sound. Working with a Crutchfield advisor was very pleasant, but we could not find a solution to the problem, so it was returned for a refund. Pros: Crutchfield employees are very pleasant to work with. The one star rating probably should not be applied to a new condition product. Cons: Simple. Scratch & dent and open box purchases are a gamble sometimes. Was this review helpful? Yes No Onkyo Loyalist Written By Chris, Dallas, TX on Wednesday, March 06, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have been an Onkyo user since 2002 and this is my 9th Onkyo receiver and with each time I upgrade, the sound and picture gets better and better. This receiver, along with an Emotiva XPA-5, are the perfect match for our home theater. We now have 4 Onkyo receivers in the household and they are part of the family! Pros: Just about everything Onkyo has to offer in the TX-NR3009. Cons: Front panel cover door quality not as good as in recent years. Was this review helpful? Yes No EXCELLENT RECEIVER Written By Willard, Texas on Thursday, February 07, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have owned a lot of different Brand Name Receivers over the years I find the Onkyo TX-NR3009 to be one of the best so far. It has excellent sound and lots of features. I have a nine speaker setup and am very pleased with the sound it produces. I switched from a Yamaha RX-A3010 and very glad I did. I have been a customer of Crutchfield for many years they can't be beat for Customer Service. Cons: NONE Was this review helpful? Yes No Excellent Receiver Written By BrianD, Shelton, CT on Sunday, January 13, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) There is not much this receiver can't do. I've only had it installed for about a week and am still learning, but so far it is fantastic. Was this review helpful? Yes No ONKYO TX-NR3009 Written By AUDIODRAGON, NYC on Sunday, January 06, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The TX-NR3009 is the epicenter for quality sound combine with Polks audio.It will take some time to learn all its functions.It was worth the price compare to other receivers.At high volume the bass or treble is very pleasant to hear.This receiver will do for the next ten years.Thanks Crutchfield for a excellent product and a good price. Pros: Great receiver for a good price Cons: Very Heavy,55lbs. Was this review helpful? Yes No Crutchfield comes through Written By Ells, Germantown, TN on Friday, January 04, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Moving from an Onkyo TX-NR905 in order to upgrade to a 3D setup and bi-amping front floor speakers. The 3009 with its 9 speaker set up and powerful bright amplification was a no-brainer. The 3009 runs considerably cooler than my 905 and the Audyssey Xt32 speaker setup has expanded my 7-2 system even beyond that of the 905 which I thought was magnificent. I was disappointed that the User Manual is now on a disk but that seems to be the standard today. I've noticed that many HTR receivers should be turned on first as I've had occassional distruptions in operation when I've ignored this caveat. Special credit should be given to Crutchfield as my first unit arrived with a faulty HDMI main out. One call to Cruchfield and another receiver was immediatly sent and a paid UPS return form was e-mailed. The true test of a good company is how it handles the occasional problem. I was very impressed with this quick and courteous response. If you're intersested in this or many other units Cruchfield has researched many products and in the case of the 3009 offered a 14 page summary and access to the owner's manual so that you can easily examine its features. I've already received a follow up card. The unit works flawlessly and is indeed, one of the finest on the market. Pros: Excellent sound and picture reproduction. Backlit remote. 3D Compatible. 7 HDMI v1.4 rear and 1 in front. ETC Cons: Heavy (55lb) HDMI problem 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No onkyo 3009 Written By Rick T, Rohnert park ca on Thursday, December 27, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Best receiver i have ever owned! Simple to set up without diving into the manual - just us the included 8 page quick start guide. The HDMI passthrough feature means i only need to use one TV input - no trying to remember which input i'm using for which source. Sound & Video quality are 1st rate. In the past eight years i have tried Denon, Marantz, NAD, Yamaha & Pioneer Elite Receivers and either the remotes are poorly laid out or the receivers difficult to set up & operate, but the Onyko is buy far the easiest to use and the best laid out. trust the Crutchfield website info or their advisors and you can't go wrong. Pros: Best quality & easiest to use Cons: none 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Awesome receiver Written By Suzi, Bienville louisiana on Thursday, December 27, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) My husband bought this receiver for our home theater. It is an amazing piece of equipment. We absolutely love it. Pros: Very powerful. Has no problem with our Klipsch reference speakers. So loud it will hurt your wars, but still crystal clear Cons: No real cons other than it is almost to much to learn. It does so much!! 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great Receiver Written By John D., Scranton, PA on Thursday, November 08, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I was on my second Onkyo receiver a TX NR 709. I was looking to upgrade my 13 year old Polk speakers and wanted to start with a new receiver. After much research I decided to stay with Onkyo. I looked at several models, and decided on the TX NR3009. I am not an audio expert, but I like things that sound good. After doing the Audyssey calibration to my 7.2 system, I am totally amazed at what this receiver has done. My 13 year old Polk system (RT1000i's, CS400i, RT25's and Monitor 30's) sounded amazing. It totally brought it back to life. I am planning on upgrading to RTIa9's and an Emotiva amp, but I am in no hurry right now since I feel like I have a whole new system. A word on Crutchfield service. First I called three different salespeople before I pulled the trigger. Everyone that I spoke to was very well infomrned and spent lots of time with me. I wanted to get a couple of different opinions and this was the best way to get them. After getting it home, I was having trouble getting the Audyssey to work. I spent 20 minutes with a tech person and he was not sure what the issue was. After he worked on it for a bit he figured it out for me, and even e-mailed me to make sure that what we did worked. Try and get THAT kind of service from Amazon or any other discount retailer. The service at Crutchfiled has always been top notch and it pays to buy from Crutchfiled just for that. Pros: Sound quality and video quality Cons: None 7 out of 7 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Audio/Vidio File Awsome Written By JohnR, Newport,TN on Thursday, September 06, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is a audio file dream. I replaced a Sony STR-DH820 With the TX-NR3009 andalthough the sony did a decent job it would be unfair to compare. The differance is like a basic no frills car to a fully equiped Cadilac. I have it hooked up to a Vizio 65" 3D LED LCD HD Theater TV, Sony Blue Ray DT PRO 1000 Sub.,DT PRO 2000 center, Pioneer full range front, 4 Bose surround L/R and Back speakers. for a for 7.1 system. I have explored many of the Dolby and THX settings and now use it determans what to use for audio for tv, All channel sterio for mono channels, PLIIX THX Cinema for some channels andTHX U2 Cinema For others utilizing all speakers on evey setting. Some thing you don't get on Dolby Digital only recievers. The 6 DACs provide clear clean audio with no distortion at all. I am satisfied with vidio out of the box but it will also let you customize vidio as well. Onkyo is on THX web site as the main recommendation for recievers and DT for speakers THX certified. I f you are looking for a THX reciever for audio File performance at a great price Crutchfied and the Onkyo TX-NR 3009 will not disappoint you. Besides the mannual go to THX web for speaker placement, it is differant than Dolby and important for sub and back surround fields. Pros: audio file in every way Cons: None 5 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Ultimate Home Theater Written By tnredneck, Newport,TN on Saturday, August 25, 2012 The TX-NR3009 takes home theater to a unbelievable extreme level. It not only up grades audio but video as well. You can do quick set up with the supplied mike and let it do all the set up or explore all the unlimited settings both audio and video. I have waited for Charter to up grade to 1080p but no longer Onkyo 3009 will do it for you. It also woke up every speaker in my 7.2 set up. I bought a DT pro 1000 sub and was not totaly happy with base with Sony reciever but the 3009 took care of that. another feature is most recievers offer min base trebble setting, the 3009 lets you set each and every speaker. I could go on and on but still have a lot more to explore. The 3009 will satisfy every need to take home theater to the ultimate level expereance thru Dolby and THX. Thank you Crutchfield for the price and making it affordable and thank you Onkyo for making the best link to home theater I have ever had. This is one no matter what you are looking for in home theater it will satisfy or surpass your every want in in theater sound and vidio. Pros: Quality sound and video as well as appearance.

The TX-NR3009's dual push-pull amplification design uses different transistors on each channel to separately amplify the positive & negative halves of the waveform. Meanwhile, 3-Stage Inverted Darlington Circuitry helps reduce distortion at the output stage. Together with the dual push-pull amplifier design, the 3-stage inverted Darlington Circuitry shapes a clean, consistent signal to send to the outputs for ultra-low distortion & greater sound quality. WRAT (Wide Range Amplifier Technology): This technology uses low-negative-feedback circuit topology for accurate signal reproduction, improved dynamic signal-to-noise ratio, and better delivery of power peaks. Independent Power Supply: The Onkyo TX-NR3009 features independent H.C.P.S (high current power supply) for the amplifier, the video circuitry, and audio circuitry. Linear Optimum Gain Volume Circuitry: Linear Optimum Gain Volume Control adjusts the gain so that less than half the amount of attenuation is needed, ensuring the signal never comes close to the noise floor. This protects the signal against noise, resulting in a dramatically clearer sound. Assignable 140W x 9.2ch Amplifier: The Onkyo TX-NR3009 features a 9 channel amplifier rated at 140 watts (into 8-ohms, at 20Hz-20kHz, with 0.05%, driving 2 channels) and dual subwoofer preamp outputs. The 9 amplifier channels can be assigned to power numerous speaker combinations for surround, stereo, & multi-zone applications. 9.2ch Surround: The TX-NR3009 is designed to be used as a 9.2ch surround sound receiver with Front, Center, Surround, Surround Back & Front Wide/High speaker channels; along with dual preamp subwoofer outputs. Surround Back channels are needed for Dolby Pro Logic IIx, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby EX, DTS-HD, and DTS-ES. The Front Wide/High speaker channels are needed for during Dolby Pro Logic IIz, DTS Neo: X, and Audyssey DSX surround modes. Bi-Amping Front Speakers: The Front-High speaker terminals can be reassigned and used along with the Front terminals to bi-amp your front speakers, providing improved bass & treble performance. By using the Front-High speaker terminals to bi-amp the front speakers (and not the Surround Back terminals), the receiver is still capable of a 7.2ch speaker system in the main room. A & B Speakers: Unlike most receivers, the A & B speaker outputs on the TX-NR3009 cannot be played at the same time. They are designed to connect two sets of speakers in the same room. For example, the speakers can be part of the 7.2ch surround system used when watching movies, and the B speakers can be used for more critical music listening in stereo. Speakers A & B can be wired normally or bi-amped, but cannot be bi-amped at the same time. If you plan to use B speakers, then you cannot connect Front Wide speakers or power Zone2 speakers. Zone2/3: You can use speaker systems in three rooms with the TX-NR3009; a multi-channel audio/video system in your main listening room (Main Zone), a stereo audio/video system in a second room (Zone2), and an stereo audio only system in a third room (Zone3). Both Zone2 & Zone3 have line level outputs (Zone2 also has a composite video output) and the receiver's amplifier channels can be assigned to power Zone2 and/or Zone3 speakers (limiting the number of powered channels available for the main room). When the Zone2 speakers are powered by the receiver, the Front Wide/Front B speakers are unavailable (limiting the Main Zone to 7.2ch). When the Zone3 speakers are powered by the receiver, Surround Back speakers are unavailable (limiting the Main Zone to 5.2ch). Burr-Brown DACs (Digital-to-Analog Converters): This receiver is equipped with six 192kHz/24-bit Burr-Brown DACs to decode and playback high-resolution recordings with less jitter and clearer sound. Jitter Cleaning Circuit Technology: The Onkyo TX-NR3009 utilizes a jitter cleaning circuit to virtually eliminate jitter and produce better sound quality. VLSC (Vector Linear Shaping Circuitry): Conventional D/A conversion methods reduce digital pulse noise at the conversion stage, but can't remove it completely. Previously only found on higher-end components, VLSC (Vector Linear Shaping Circuitry) employs a unique D/A conversion circuit to overcome this problem. Data is converted between sampling points and these points are joined with analog vectors in real-time to produce a smooth output wave form. The result is a virtually noiseless, smooth analog signal based on the digital source to bring out even the most subtle of nuances in your music, movie soundtracks, and even MP3. 32-Bit Processing DSP: The Onkyo TX-NR3009 is equipped with a powerful and highly accurate 32-bit processing DSP (Digital Signal Processor) for better surround sound reproduction. Multi-Channel Decoding Formats: The Onkyo TX-NR3009 AV receiver supports the following multi-channel (Dolby Digital, DTS, Dolby Pro Logic) decoding formats. Dolby Digital: Dolby Digital, Dolby, Digital EX, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD DTS: DTS, DTS-ES, DTS-HD Master Audio, DTS-HD High Resolution, DTS Express, DTS 96/24, DTS Neo: 6, DTS Neo:X Dolby Pro Logic: Dolby Pro Logic II, Dolby Pro Logic IIx, Dolby Pro Logic IIz Note: Dolby Digital and DTS listening modes can only be selected if your audio source is connected to the AV receiver via a digital audio connection (HDMI, optical, or coaxial). To enjoy true 7.1ch Dolby Digital TrueHD and DTS-HD surround sound, the receiver must be connected to your Blu-ray player via HDMI. THX Certified: The TX-NR3009 AV receiver is THX certified. Founded by George Lucas, THX develops stringent standards that ensure movies are reproduced in movie theaters and home theaters just as the director intended. From early design concepts to product rollout, THX works with its manufacturing partners at each step of product development. Every detail is meticulously mapped to the THX performance standards. And THX engineers spend countless hours testing and analyzing each product for sound quality, usability and interoperability. The result of this collaborative process is a THX Certified receiver, amplifier or pre-amplifier designed from the ground-up to present your favorite movies, music, and games in 5.1ch to 7.1ch surround sound loud and clear at studio reference volumes. THX: THX Modes (Cinema, Music, or Game) carefully optimize the tonal and spatial characteristics of the soundtrack for reproduction in the home-theater environment. They can be used with various multichannel sources. Surround back speaker output depends on the source material and the selected listening mode. THX Ultra2+ (w/ THX Loudness Plus): The ultimate benchmark for home audio performance, THX Ultra2 Plus is specified for rooms where the screen-to-seat viewing distance is more than 12 feet and the room volume is 3,000 cubic feet or greater. This mode expands 5.1-channel sources for 7.1- channel playback. It does this by analyzing the composition of the surround source, optimizing the ambient and directional sounds to produce the surround back channel output. You can choose between Cinema, Music, or Game mode. THX Loudness Plus is a volume control technology featured in THX Ultra2+ certified components. With THX Loudness Plus, home theater audiences can experience the rich details in a surround mix at any volume level. THX Loudness Plus compensates for the tonal and spatial shifts that occur when the volume is reduced by intelligently adjusting ambient surround channel levels and frequency response. The THX Loudness Plus feature can be applied when listening in any THX listening mode. THX Surround EX: This mode expands 5.1-channel sources for 6.1/7.1- channel playback. It's especially suited to Dolby Digital EX sources. THX Surround EX, also known as Dolby Digital Surround EX, is a joint development between Dolby Laboratories and THX Ltd. Onkyo Original DSP Modes: Onkyo's Original DSP Modes, combined with Dolby Digital/DTS/Dolby Pro Logic processing, produce more realistic, powerful sound effects for your movie and music sound tracks based on the type of content and your home theater setup. You can choose from the following: Orchestra: For classical or operatic music. Unplugged: For acoustic instruments, vocals, and jazz. Studio-Mix: Suitable for rock or pop. TV Logic: Adds realistic acoustics to TV shows. Game: The receiver offers four different Gaming modes - RPG, Action, Rock, and Sports. All Ch Stereo: Stereo sound from all speakers. Ideal for background music. Full Mono: All speakers output the same sound in mono. Theater-Dimensional (T-D): Theater-Dimensional circuitry takes the complexity out of conventional surround-sound setups and lets you experience the excitement of surround sound from as few as two ordinary speakers. Theater-Dimensional's unique multi-speaker modes let you place up to five speakers conveniently by the TV, for the most realistic virtual-surround sound possible. Audiophile Listening Modes: The Onkyo TX-NR3009 offers two audiophile listening modes which bypass the receiver's tone & DSP processing for higher sound quality performance. In Direct mode, audio from the input source is output without surround-sound processing. This mode delivers pure sound with minimum sound quality adjustment and filtration. In Pure Audio mode, the display and video circuitry are turned off, minimizing possible noise sources for the ultimate in high-fidelity audio reproduction. Audyssey Technology: The TXN-R3009 features a full package of Audyssey audio technologies for optimal sound quality. Audyssey Dynamic Volume offers real-time volume adjustment, while Audyssey DynamicEQ improves your system's surround effects during low volume levels. Audyssey MultEQ XT32 automatically sets speakers to suit your room's listening environment and the speakers' characteristics. The AV receiver even offers Audyssey DSX which adds front speaker effects. Audyssey MultEQ XT32 Automatic Speaker Setup: With the supplied speaker setup microphone, Audyssey MultEQ XT32 determines the number of speakers connected, their optimum crossover frequencies, and their distances from the primary listening position, then adjusts each automatically. The room's acoustical properties are then measured and corrected over the listening area in both the frequency and time domain. There is a threaded insert on the bottom of the microphone so it can be mounted on a tripod for accurate listening position placement. Up to 8 listening position measurements are taken to optimize the surround effect for a broad area. If you prefer you can also setup your speaker system manually. Audyssey Dynamic EQ: Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of deteriorating sound quality as volume is decreased by taking into account human perception and room acoustics. Dynamic EQ selects the best possible frequency response and surround levels moment-by-moment as volume is changed. The result is bass response, tonal balance and surround impression that remain constant despite changes in volume. Audyssey Dynamic EQ combines information from incoming source levels with actual output sound levels in the room, a prerequisite for delivering a loudness correction solution. Audyssey Dynamic EQ works in tandem with Audyssey 2EQ to provide well-balanced sound for every listener at any volume level. Audyssey Dynamic Volume: Audyssey Dynamic Volume solves the problem of large variations in volume level between television programs, commercials, and between the soft and loud passages of movies. Dynamic Volume looks at the preferred volume setting by t he user and then monitors how the volume of program material is being perceived by listeners in real time to decide whether an adjustment is needed. Whenever necessary, Dynamic Volume makes the necessary rapid or gradual adjustments to maintain the desired playback volume level while optimizing the dynamic range. Audyssey Dynamic EQ is integrated in Dynamic Volume so that as the playback volume is adjusted automatically, the perceived bass response, tonal balance, surround impression, and dialog clarity remain the same whether watching movies, flipping between television channels, or changing from stereo to surround sound content. Audyssey Dynamic Surround Expansion (DSX): Audyssey DSX adds front effect speakers to improve spatial sound reproduction. Starting with a 5.1 channel system, DSX adds front Wide and/or front Height channels for better sound staging (although both wide and height speakers can be added, only one pair is used at a time). DSX also applies Surround Envelopment Processing to enhance the blend between the front and surround channels. Surround Parameters: The Onkyo TX-NR3009 lets you tweak and fine tune specific surround sound modes to suit your preference. Dolby Pro Logic II Music Settings: While listening in the Dolby Pro Logic II Music format, there are three further enhancements you can adjust; Panorama: (broadens the front stereo image to the surround speakers to provide a wraparound effect), Dimension (allows you to move the sound field forward or backward), and Center Width (allows you to adjust the width of the center channel). Pro Logic IIz Height Gain: The Height Gain Control in Dolby Pro Logic IIz enables the listener to select how much gain is applied to the front high speakers. There are three settings, "Low", "Mid" and "High", and the front high speakers are accentuated in that order. While "Mid" is the default listening setting, the listener may adjust the Height Gain Control to their personal preference. Center Image: In the Neo:6 Music mode, the Center Image feature adjusts the output of the left and right channels relative to the center channel, allowing you to make the center channel more or less dominant as needed. This improves the image of the center channel, especially when the listener is off-center. Adjustment varies from 5 (nothing subtracted from the L/R channels) to 0 (L/R channel output is cut in half). Screen Centered Dialogue: By using the front high speakers, this function moves the center image of the dialogue upwards, so that the image of dialogue is fixed to the display height. Listening Angle: While listening in the Theater Dimensional mode you can adjust the listening angle to either Wide (if listening angle is 40°) or Narrow (if listening angle is 20°). THX Loudness Plus: THX Loudness Plus is a volume control technology featured in THX Ultra2 Plus certified receivers. With THX Loudness Plus, home theater audiences can experience the rich details in a surround mix at any volume level. THX Loudness Plus compensates for the tonal and spatial shifts that occur when the volume is reduced by intelligently adjusting ambient surround channel levels and frequency response. The THX Loudness Plus feature can be applied when listening in any THX listening mode. Tone Control: You can independently adjust the Bass (50Hz) & Treble (20kHz) of the TX-NR3009 from -10 to +10 dB. Double Bass: This setting boosts the bass output by feeding bass sound from the front left, right, and center channels to the subwoofer. Music Optimizer: The Music Optimizer function enhances the sound quality of compressed music files. The Music Optimizer function only works with PCM digital audio input signals with a sampling rate below 48kHz and analog input signals. Re-EQ (THX): With the Re-EQ (THX) function, you can compensate for harsh high-frequency content, making it more suitable for listening. Dolby Volume: Dolby Volume provides comfortable listening, effectively controlling the volume level difference without unnatural changes in volume or sound quality to recreate the balance and nuance of the source audio. Dolby Volume automatically adjusts the difference in volume levels which can occur between different contents or source components, freeing you from having to make volume adjustments. Also, by adjusting the frequency balance according to the playback volume, it recreates the original source audio. Late Night Feature: The Late Night feature limits the dynamic range of Dolby Digital recordings. Limiting the dynamic range makes it easier to find a volume that ensures the quiet sounds are not too quiet and the loud sounds are not too loud for night time listening. This allows you to comfortably listen to without the need to constantly adjust the volume to keep from waking family/neighbors. The choices are: Off, Low, and High. This feature only works with Dolby Digital Encoded software and the depth of the feature will vary based on the individual software package. IntelliVolume: The IntelliVolume setup function allows you set a volume correction value for each source, to prevent large jumps in volume when switching from one source to another. This feature eliminates the inconvenience of manually adjusting the volume control each time you switch from a source with a weak signal to a source with a strong signal and vice versa. Audio Inputs/Outputs: The Onkyo AV receiver offers a variety of analog and digital audio inputs/outputs. Assignable Digital Inputs: The Onkyo receiver is equipped with three optical digital inputs (2 rear/1 front) and three coaxial digital inputs (3 rear). All six digital inputs are assignable.

Headphones: When headphones are plugged into the full-size 1/4" jack on the front panel, all the main speakers are automatically muted (the Powered Zone 2 speakers are not muted). When you connect an iPod or iPhone to the USB port on this receiver, no sound will be output from the headphone jack. Video Features HQV Vida Video Processor (VHD1900): The TX-NR3009 is equipped with the sophisticated HQV Vida VHD1900 processor to enhance the quality of both standard-definition and high-definition video sources. The chip employs multi-cadence tracking, expanded 12-bit color processing, and four-field motion-adaptive de-interlacing to optimize video quality and detail. Two new HQV technologies are incorporated into the VHD1900: "Auto HQV" works to automatically enhance the incoming image, while "HQV StreamClean" cleans up compressed video in real time by eliminating mosquito and block noise from lower-quality sources such as online video sites.HDMI (v1.4): The TX-NR3009 has eight HDMI v1.4 inputs (7 rear/1 front). The front jack is fixed as the Aux input, while the six rear panel jacks are assignable to any of the other inputs. There are two HDMI monitor outputs; both outputs can be active simultaneously and will pass digital audio and video. The HDMI inputs will support uncompressed standard or high definition digital video along with the following audio signals: 2-channel linear PCM, Multichannel linear PCM, and Bitstream. The receiver's HDMI circuitry allows the receiver to output an HDMI audio signal from its speaker outputs, headphone out, and HDMI out so you don't have to run additional analog or digital cables. The HDMI inputs accept 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, and 1080p signals and the analog video inputs (composite/component/S-video) are converted to HDMI for transfer to the TV. Note: The 2 HDMI outputs display the same video signal and can be used simultaneously. Marvel Qdeo Video Chip for 4K Upscaling: The Onkyo TX-NR3009 utilizes a Marvel Qdeo Video Chip for 4K Upscaling and video processing. The Marvel Qdeo Video Chip produces quiet and natural video, free from noise and artifacts. Analog video signals (composite/component/S-video/PC) are converted to HDMI and can be scaled to the resolution set in the menu: Through (no scaling), Auto (automatically scaled to the highest resolution supported by the display), 480p, 720p, 1080i, or 1080p. HDMI Through: When enabling the HDMI Through function, regardless of whether the AV receiver is "on" or in "standby" both audio and video streams from an HDMI input will be output to your television, via the receiver HDMI monitor output. You can select between 3 HDMI Through functions modes. Auto: Detects the signal and automatically selects the input sources. Source: Selects the input source (BD/DVD, VCR/DVR, CBL/SAT, Game, PC, Aux, TV/CD, Port) for which the HDMI Through function in enabled. Last: The HDMI Trough function is activated on the input source selected at the time of setting the AV receiver to the "standby" mode. 3D-Compatible: The TX-NR3009's HDMI v.1.4 connections will accept 3D video from your 3D-ready Blu-ray player and output the video signal in 3D to your 3D-ready HDTV. x.v.Color: The AV receiver supports x.v.Color, offering a wider color range than the current broadcast standard. For the x.v.Color feature to be useful, the entire video production chain must be compatible (camera-editing-format-player-display). Deep Color: The Onkyo receiver also supports Deep Color which allows the color depth of video signals passing through HDMI to be raised. The number of colors that could be expressed by 1 pixel was 24 bits (16,777,216 colors) with a standard HDMI jack. However, the number of colors which can be expressed by 1 pixel is 36 bits with a Deep Color enabled HDMI jack. Since the gradation of the depth of a color can be expressed more finely with more bits, continuous color changes can be more smoothly expressed. For the Deep Color feature to be useful, the entire video production chain must be compatible (camera-editing-format-player-display). Auto Lip Sync: The Lip Sync function can automatically synchronize HDMI audio and video that has gotten out of sync due to the complex digital video processing being performed by your HDMI-compatible TV. With HDMI Lip Sync, the audio delay required to synchronize the audio and video is calculated and applied automatically by the AV receiver. A/V Sync Control: Occasionally, you may need to manually adjust the audio/video signals that are not properly synchronized manually. Typically when using a progressive scanning DVD player. You can correct this by delaying the audio; options are 0 (no delay) to 800 milliseconds, in 10 millisecond steps. ARC (Audio Return Channel): This feature allows audio to be sent from your compatible HDTV to your receiver through the same HDMI cable already being used to send audio and video to your HDTV. This eliminates the need for extra cables connected to your television. Component Video: There are 3 component video inputs and 1 component video output.

Jennifer Aniston tears up talking engagement to Justin Theroux on 'Chelsea Lately'
Maybe it was because she was chatting with pal Chelsea Handler, but Jennifer Aniston couldn't help getting a little emotional on "Chelsea Lately" Monday.
When Handler asked about Aniston's engagement to Hollywood multi-hyphenate Justin Theroux, the 43-year-old actress had a hard time verbalizing a response. She answered in the affirmative that yep, she's engaged, and then her smile and laughter quickly shifted into tears.
"I just got verklempt!" she said.
We guessed Aniston was holding back tears of happiness - rather than tears of pain from carrying around that ginormous engagement ring - and host Handler seemed to confirm that. "Aw, aren't you so happy?" she told her friend. "You are happy, because he's the greatest guy ever, and you guys make the greatest couple ever, and I'm so happy for you too."
As for what role Handler could potentially play in Aniston's wedding, Handler herself has already written off any speaking duties.
"I doubt it. I don't imagine that they'd want me to speak at their wedding. I didn't introduce them, I had nothing to do with them getting engaged. That would be a little weird," she told Piers Morgan in September. "Plus, you know, I'm not great at a wedding. By the time the wedding party starts, it's not like I'm speaking clearly."

It must have been hard to narrow down your choices of Santa's...they are all so pretty. I love your fireplace, too. Tthe field stones remind me of our fireplace at the lake.

Well Lori, the ones that you did put out look lovely. I hear you about the lack of energy, still no tree up. Isn't work a four letter word?
After all, who wants to dig through a crowded storage locker, where mice, and axe wielding killers might lurk [I have a very vivid imagination, and it's dark down there].
So maybe I will brave it today, but only if Gar is there to back me up.
Have a great Christmas.

I didn't put out any of my Santas either Lori, but it looks like you might have tons more. I bet it was hard to pick your favorites. Your mantel looks wonderful though. Love the stone fireplace. Have a very Merry Christmas!
PS: Thank you for that sweet card! I love it!

Well, I know you have a large number of Santa's you could have put out, Lori- so you must really have been busy and stressed. I think a lot of people really felt much the same way this year. Time just got away from me and I just didn't feel as motivated to "do it all." Maybe it has something to do w/becoming an "empty nester" this year. LOL The Santa's you chose to put out look wonderful on that fireplace mantel. Love the stones and the old window frame. You enjoy this holiday weekend with your family, Lori! hugs, Sue

I'm back with another comment this year- I love all your Santa's, Lori. I know what you mean re: not having things out yet. In my case, it might be "if ever." LOL I have the bah humbug syndrome and am debating how much I will be paring down this season. I started my trees 2 days ago and the house is in turmoil. Hope we both get some inspiration. Hugs from Ethel

You did a wonderful job of that Santa mantle display.
It's a lot of work, and it's also time consuming...seems bloggers are either in there early, or going to be late decorating...I'm....not really into it yet.

Tuesday, June 30, 2009 the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reversed one of the most controversial decisions of the previous administration by granting California the Clean Air Act "waiver" that it and more than a dozen other states need to move forward with their landmark global warming emissions standards for vehicles.

Monday, April 6, 2009 the Sierra Club submitted 14,270 names and comments to EPA Administrator Jackson.
Thursday, March 5, 2009 - Sierra Club presented a photo petition from more than 1,000 Sierra Club members, student activists, and other concerned citizens from across the country who could not attend the hearing in person.

En español | While it might not quite be time to pop the bubbly, there's reason to believe that hiring in several key industries will be on the upswing in the first few months of the new year.
The latest Manpower Employment Outlook Survey indicates growing optimism among U.S. employers. Of more than 18,000 surveyed, 17 percent anticipated raising staff levels in their first-quarter hiring — the best outlook in six years.
This adds to other upbeat numbers. Last month, the U.S. economy added more than 200,000 jobs, the Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates. The unemployment rate dropped to its lowest level since 2008, to 7 percent.
Overall, things were brighter for workers of all ages in November than in quite some time, says Sara Rix, senior strategic policy adviser at the AARP Public Policy Institute.
Looking at older workers, the November unemployment rate for those age 55 and older fell to 4.9 percent, down sharply from October's 5.4 percent. The rate fell both for older women and older men.
"Fewer workers were unemployed, employed part time for economic reasons or discouraged about their job prospects," Rix says.
While these numbers may be encouraging, workers who remain without jobs continued to struggle, as the average duration of unemployment rose once again. The November survey found that jobless people age 55 and over had been that way for an average of 50.7 weeks, up slightly from 49.7 weeks in October.
That said, don't give up. If you're job hunting, some industries are reporting rising numbers of vacancies. Below are five sectors where you can expect to find openings in the next few months.
Pay will vary depending on the employer, your experience and where you live. The jobs may have flexible hours and be full or part time. Some may require you to go back to school for specific training. But in others, you may be able to repurpose skills you already have.
If you're ready to jump-start your search, be sure to review my list of job hunting mistakes to avoid and ways to improve your LinkedIn profile.

jürgen müller - Science Of The Sea
'Science Of The Sea' is a total find, presenting a precious reissue of Jürgen Müller's practically unheard 1982 ode to oceanography and the magic of synthesizer music. As his story goes, in 1979, Jürgen, a self-taught amateur musician studying oceanic science at the University of Kiel, travelled with a film crew to document a mission testing sea-water toxicity a few kilometres offshore in the North Sea. As ever, necessity was the mother of invention, and the experience proved so memorable that he was impelled to create a soundtrack to the footage and his own recollections using some electronic equipment borrowed from friends and a local school. Armed with nothing but a faint memory of piano lessons as a child and - perhaps to be expected for a German student in 1979 - some awareness of (undisclosed) avant-garde electronic composers from the early '70s, Jürgen set about creating this lush suite of twelve marine-themed vignettes, plainly channeling his thoughts, moods and emotions into what could be quite easily called a prototypical, deliciously frothy form of "New Age" music. It simultaneously triggered ambitions of becoming a film composer and lead to the creation of his publishing company - Neue Wissenschaft. He wrote the album in his spare time off from studying between 1981-82, finally releasing an edition of 100 copies which largely ended up in the hands of friends and family, with only a few reaching prospective clients and relegating it to the sea of privately pressed synth music. The titles such as 'Traumfolge Einer Qualle (Dream Sequence for a Jellyfish)', 'Unter Weiten Welden (Vast Worlds Beneath)' and 'Einsame Reise (Lonely Voyage)' already imbue a sense of wonder before you even hear any of the material. The music itself is equally charming, recalling the graceful figures of Roedelius but transplanted from the rolling countryside to a glinting North Sea which has provided inspiration for so many others, in so many ways. The original tapes have been remastered by Brad Rose and will at long last find a home in the wider world.

Furor over France's "pornographic" anti-smoking ads
A French anti-smoking campaign comparing smoking to sex slavery is being accused of everything from dissemination of pornography to insensitivity to child sexual abuse victims.
The ads -- set to be published in newspapers and posted in bars -- feature teens smoking cigarettes in such a way that they look like they might be performing oral sex on a man in a suit. The caption reads, "Smoking means being a slave to tobacco."
"Traditional advertisements targeting teens don't affect them. Talking about issues of health, illness or even death, they don't get it," a spokesperson for the Association for Nonsmokers' Rights told AP in explanation. "However, when we talk about submission and dependence, they listen."
The 16-year-old who alerted me to the controversy thought it was quite a hoot. But the family minister of France is not laughing. She is calling for a ban on the ads as "indecent exposure" and "an affront on public decency." Likewise, a child welfare group called the ads cruel and insensitive toward young child abuse victims. Tobacco company representatives are also incensed at being compared to pedophiles. "It's no longer prevention, but out of place provocation," one tobacco association said on its web site.
Ironically, the advance uproar is giving the anti-smoking campaign so much publicity that it will make the formal ad campaign unnecessary.
