The Onkyo TX-SR705 THX Certified Home Theater Receiver brings high-end audio and video performance, as well as flexibility, to a more affordable price range. With built-in HDMI switching, extensive surround sound processing options, Faroudja video processing, iPOD connectivity, XM and Sirius Satellite Radio Compatibility, and an excellent automatic speaker setup system, the Onkyo TX-SR705 is definitely worth a look and a listen.

Pictured on this page is the front panel view of the the SR705. The front panel is divided into two sections. Running across the middle of the front, starting on the left, is Standby Power switch and, below that, the Pure Audio switch. The pure audio switch turns off all video circuitry (including the front panel LED display) and processing (except for HDMI video pass through signals). This functions to minimize any video circuitry interference when only audio listening is desired.

Moving right, just below the THX logo is the Multi-channel input select button. This accesses the 5.1 channel analog audio input source signals. Moving across the panel, just below the LED screen, are the source selection buttons for DVD, VCR/DVR, Cable/Satellite, Game/TV, Tape, Tuner, CD, and Dedicated Phono input.

The next series of functions control the 750's setup and menu functions. Lastly, on the far right is the master volume control.

On the bottom portion of the front panel, on the left, is the headphone jack. Moving right are controls for Zone 2 operation, Tone, Stereo/Surround modes, Display information, Digital input selection, LED dimmer, and Radio presets.

Lastly, on far right of the bottom of the front panel are the Microphone input for the Audyssey MultEQ-XT speaker setup function and the Aux Audio/Video inputs.
