Onkyo Ships New XM/Neural A/V Receiver

By

Onkyo, a consumer electronics company which produces audio components, today announced they were shipping a new audio/video receiver which is compatible with XM Satellite Radio’s new 5.1 channel surround sound offerings. The new TX-SR504 is priced at just under $300.

The TX-SR504, said Onkyo, is XM Ready, meaning one need only hook a XM satellite antenna to it to receive the broadcast service’s programming. This receiver is also one of the first to market with Neural Sound processing, which means it can broadcast select XM channels in discrete 5.1-channel surround sound. The unit, also capable of receiving AM and FM, has 40 presets.

Denon’s Dolby Atmos Home Sound Bar 550 takes versatility to a new level
Denon Home Sound Bar 550

When it comes to soundbars, there's no lack of awesome options right now, and CES 2021 is showing us that many more are on the way. But that doesn't mean there isn't room for new products, especially when they fill a previously empty niche. Denon's new $599 Home Sound Bar 550, which will be available in February 2021, seems to do just that.

The key to the Home Sound Bar 550's potential appeal is its vast array of features, combined with a price that places it between bedroom-sized soundbars like the $400 Sonos Beam and $400 Bose Smart Soundbar 300, and their larger cousins, the $800 Sonos Arc and the $800 Bose Soundbar 700.
