Benefits:

Surround yourself in Dolby Atmos® and DTS: X® sound
With Dolby Atmos and DTS X audio formats, sounds in the movie scene are mapped to their corresponding positions within the entertainment space, allowing any audio to be localised or moved from one speaker to another all around the audience in sync with the on-screen action. The sense of spatiality unlocks a new dimension to movies and games. Enjoy classic titles through your Dolby Atmos-enabled speaker system with Dolby Surround® and DTS® Neural:X up mixers, finding localisation cues in legacy so

Dolby Atmos Height Virtualiser
When playing any Dolby® format, engaging Dolby Atmos Height Virtualiser enables a more immersive listening experience, creating a virtual surround and height effect from traditional speaker layouts without additional surround or height speakers.

Flexible 3D sound with DTS Virtual: X™
DTS Virtual:X is a surround virtualisation technology that works with DTS:X, DTS® formats, and non-encoded stereo soundtracks to create an immersive 3D sound-field from horizontal speaker layouts without height speakers connected. It uses algorithms to create a convincing sense of 3D spatiality through a 5.1-ch layout, leaving you with a pair of channels for audio distribution in Zone B.

Flexible speakers make 3D sound easy
Factory-matched speakers suit the amp’s personality and look cool in any room. Solid 2-Way front speakers include a 12 cm driver and 2.5 cm tweeter and have a strong, confident, vibrant sound. Sealed enclosures house Dolby Atmos-enabled drivers powered by the Height channels. These reproduce the vertical dimension in 3D audio without any installation clutter. The centre unit has two big drivers and tweeters, while an active 90 W subwoofer with a 20 cm cone punches out deep, taut bass for a visceral impact. Compact surround speakers are easily placed about the listening position or used in Zone B with a 3.1.2 layout in Main.

Supports 4K HDR and Media Data Display
The receiver has four HDMI® inputs and one ARC-enabled output that supports up to 18 Gbps transmission of 4K video at 50/60 Hz along with HDR (HLG, HDR10, Dolby Vision™), the BT.2020 colour standard, and 4:4:4/24-bit video. Video passes from connected players through the receiver to the TV via one easily concealed HDMI cable. You can check that your player, receiver, and TV are working harmoniously by calling up a transparent on-screen media input-output display to confirm playback conditions such as audio codec, sound mode, video frame rate, video resolution, and HDR format without interrupting your program.

Discrete high-current analogue amplification
Watts seems like the most important number on an amp’s spec sheet. However, they only indicate loudness, not audio quality. Amperes (current) are the secret to good sound. Current grips the speaker cones to control their travel. The higher the current, the greater the control. Better speaker control means faster dynamic response, clearer detail, and more rhythmically exciting sound. The HT-S5915 features a High-Current Low-Noise Power Transformer, large capacitors, and discrete high-current amp circuitry that combine to deliver the highest current flow of any AVR in its class.

AccuEQ Room Acoustic Calibration with AccuReflex™
AccuEQ creates a harmonious sound field in your room. It detects speaker presence and size, and distance from a measurement position and sets appropriate sound-pressure levels. It then selects the subwoofer crossover and EQs for all speakers, including the sub. AccuReflex optimises 3D audio reproduction through Dolby Atmos-enabled speakers. It resolves the phase shift that arises from path differences between directional and non-directional sounds.

Clearer dialogue at the touch of a button
This Onkyo technology solves the problem of inaudible dialogue in TV programs and movies. DSP-controlled Vocal Enhancer identifies voice frequencies so you can raise or lower them using keys on the remote or controls on the front panel.

Flexible powered and unpowered zone audio
The Zone B line-out is ideal for connecting a compatible transmitter to make audio in the main room available to a pair of wireless headphones. This is great for watching TV at night or when you’re viewing the screen from a distance. Any hi-fi with an analogue RCA input can be connected to share audio (including SPDIF and HDMI) simultaneously in Main and Zone B. In addition, the HT-S5915 includes assignable Powered Zone B outputs that share amplified audio to speakers in another area of the home.

Stream with Bluetooth® wireless technology
Stream virtually any audio from your smartphone, tablet, or PC to your home cinema with Bluetooth wireless technology. Select Advanced Music Optimizer™ listening mode to restore high-frequency bit information lost during the compression process in real-time, leading to fuller, richer sound upon playback.

USB power for streaming sticky
A USB terminal on the rear panel powers any media streaming stick plugged into an adjacent HDMI input—great if you don’t have enough power points.
