Our take on the Onkyo TX-RZ50 9.2 Channel Network 8K AV Receiver

The Onkyo TX-RZ50 is a 9.2-channel AV receiver built around Dirac Live room correction, a feature usually reserved for pricier models. It passes 8K/60 and 4K/120 video with HDMI 2.1 on all inputs, supports Dolby Atmos, DTS:X and IMAX Enhanced, and streams via Chromecast, AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect and Play-Fi. Its 120 W per channel (8 ohm) drives most home theater speakers, and it handles three zones. Reviewers rate it highly for value and Dirac, but some report HDMI board and firmware quirks.

Questions and answers

Is Dirac Live included or an extra purchase?
The receiver includes a Dirac Live license for the full-bandwidth version. You still need a compatible calibration microphone and a computer to run the measurement software.
Does it support 4K/120 and VRR for PS5 and Xbox Series X?
Yes. All HDMI inputs are HDMI 2.1 and pass 4K/120, 8K/60, VRR and QMS, so current consoles get their full feature set.
How many speakers can it power?
It drives 9.2 channels, enough for 5.2.4 or 7.2.2 Atmos and DTS:X layouts. Two subwoofer outputs are independently controlled.
Can I run a second zone?
Yes. It supports three zones: main, Zone 2 and Zone 3, with powered or line-level outputs and a 12V trigger.
Does it stream AirPlay 2 and Chromecast?
Yes. It supports AirPlay 2, Chromecast built-in, Spotify Connect, Tidal, Deezer and Play-Fi, plus Bluetooth with aptX HD.
Is it worth it over the TX-NR7100?
The RZ50 adds more power, a heavier chassis and three-zone support. If you only need 7 channels and two zones, the NR7100 covers the basics for less.
