Onkyo
has introduced a new family of audio-video receivers called the Onkyo
HT Series. The new HT line are extensions of AV receivers developed
for the company's packaged systems line--building on Onkyo's core
competencies, while streamlining feature sets.
The first of
these new models, the HT-RC160, is a 7.2-channel receiver with five
HDMI inputs, Dolby ProLogic IIz and many more features, and is
currently available at a manufacturer's suggested retail price of $549.
A step-up model, the HT-RC180, a 7.2-channel THX Select2Plus Certified
receiver with advanced networking capabilities, including streaming
internet radio from Pandora, Rhapsody and others, will be added to the
line in August with a $1049 MSRP.
