Our take on the Onkyo 7.2-Channel A/V Receiver with HDMI & Bluetooth TXSR494

The Onkyo TX-SR494 is a 7.2-channel home theater receiver rated at 80W per channel into 8 ohms, built around a discrete amplifier design. It supports 5.2.2-channel Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, passes HDR UHD video, upscales 1080p to 4K, and includes Bluetooth and AccuEQ room calibration. It suits buyers building a first Atmos setup on a budget who want height channels and modern HDMI features without stepping up to a pricier model. Against rivals in its class it covers the essentials, but it has fewer HDMI inputs than some competitors and no network streaming or app control.

Questions and answers

Can it run a 5.2.2 Dolby Atmos setup?
Yes. Seven amplified channels support a 5.2.2 layout with two overhead or up-firing speakers, and it also decodes DTS:X.
Does it stream music over Wi-Fi?
No. It has Bluetooth only, so streaming comes from a paired phone or tablet rather than built-in apps or AirPlay.
How many HDMI devices can I connect?
Four HDMI inputs and one output. The output supports Audio Return Channel, so a TV's apps can send sound back to the receiver.
Will it pass 4K HDR video?
Yes. It passes HDR UHD signals and upscales 1080p sources to 4K, but it lacks HDMI 2.1 features like 4K/120Hz.
Is it enough power for large floorstanding speakers?
80W per channel into 8 ohms suits most bookshelf and moderate floorstanding speakers. Very demanding or low-impedance speakers may want more power.
Does it have a phono input for a turntable?
No. A turntable needs its own phono preamp or a built-in one to connect to a line input.
