Complete the one-time Wi-Fi setup, download our free control app for iOs and Android devices, and you’ve got a full range of remote control and audio streaming features in the palm of your hand. You can also pair your Bluetooth-capable device and stream direct to your home theater. With Advanced Music Optimizer DSP compensating for compression, music via Bluetooth has never sounded better. Hi-Fi Power & Fidelity WRAT (Wide Range Amplifier Technology) is all about current. Receivers need a lot of current not only to handle the sudden explosive actions scenes but also to be able to reproduce the detail of quiet passages. We use a massive high-power transformer to drive discrete amps that help eliminate distortion and preserve the energy of music and movies. Delivering 90 watts per channel, the TX-NR535 packs a colossal punch for movies but still retains the pure musicality you need for two-channel playback. Also, Phase-Matching Bass Enhancement optimizes low frequencies while preserving mid- range clarity. It counters phase shifting by synchronizing the timing of different frequencies. The result is deep, well- defined bass that won’t blur vocals or strings.

Gapless Hi-res Audio Playback Onkyo’s commitment to Hi-Res audio playback continues with the TX-NR535.

Once you’ve connected your speakers, plug-in the included mic and wait a few moments as the TX-NR535 measures things such as speaker distance, type, crossover, and output, taking into account any reflections from your walls and floor. The system then optimizes the frequency response so you can enjoy balanced surround sound regardless of room shape or furnishing.

Customer Reviews

Good 5.2 Channel A/V Receiver.
D. Hentze

The TX-NR535 is Onkyo's new 2014 entry level A/V receiver, and is the successor to the popular TX-NR525. New this year is the addition of support for HDMI specified 4K/60 Hz video.Out of the box, the TX-NR535 is noticeably well built. It's a clean design, and all the inputs/outputs are well laid out. For testing, I replaced my already setup Denon AVR-E300 with the TX-NR535. I'm using the Klipsch HD300 Speaker System. Getting setup was quick and painless. The menu system on the TX-NR535 is pretty basic and easy to navigate. The GUI looks like something form the 80's, but it's not a big deal. I chose the settings for my speakers manually, and did not use the "AccuEQ Room Calibration". I found a minor issue setting up a Verizon FiOS 4 device remote. There is no code for turning the receiver both on and off. One code will work for turning it on, and another will turn it off. I did a quick Google search and found that this seems to be an issue with many Onkyo receivers. It's not a big deal to me though. The TX-NR535 has built-in WiFi and BT support, which is great. My Denon AVR-E300 required a wireless adapter. Once connected to my network, I had access to my Sirius/XM account, along with several other music services. I was able to listen to music stored on my PC via DLNA streaming. There is one thing that the TX-NR535 doesn't have which to me is a disappointment. It is built-in Apple "AirPlay" support. I store my entire music library on my iPods, and I love using AirPlay to connect them to my system. My Denon AVR-E300 Receiver which is older and costs about half of what the TX-NR535 costs, has AirPlay built-in. There is an Onkyo iPad/iPod app which allows connecting and streaming from your Apple device. It is a little slow and buggy, but it does work. There is a similar app for Android too.Read more ›

Good, solid receiver
Bass Cadet

It would be easy to give this receiver five stars. It is nicely constructed, feature rich, and reasonably priced for its class. However, some of its features are not as straightforward as expected.As far as sound, this is an excellent receiver. It puts out plenty of sound for our family room. I recently wired up the room for 5.1 sound and am pleased with how it drives the speakers and subwoofer. The included mic is useful for equalizing the room, although additional tone controls would be useful. Many receivers have multiple equalization options and I'm surprised this one does not allow more customization. The room is not too large so we have not run the volume up very high. At moderate sound levels, the receiver does not overheat.The menus and remote are not as well polished. I found it somewhat confusing when trying to navigate the network and even USB drives. There should be a menu return selection for each menu. I often wonder how to get back to the previous menu. The remote layout could also be arranged a little more intuitively. I have to consciously select which button to press by looking at the labels and trying to remember what button does what function. Grouping then together would be easier. Of course, I am going to end up programming a universal remote and store this one away.In summary, I really like this receiver, but don't love it.

Strong Entry-Level Receiver with Mid-Level Features
WryGuy2

I continue to be amazed at how technology rapidly marches on with regards to home audio and visual technology. Way back in the day, I used to impress my friends with my Technics receiver, all tricked out with things like a graphic equalizer, dynamic range expander, tuner, dual cassette deck, and a fairly high end turntable, among other things. Since those heady days, I haven't stayed at the cutting edge of electronics, but I've generally remained in the game, incrementally improving my equipment over time. So, this review is written from the point of view of a casual user, rather than a technophile. I was happy to be offered this new Onkyo TX-NR535 5.2-Channel Network A/V Receiver to review, as it is past time for me to replace my A/V receiver.This receiver is replacing the one that I use for my existing 2.1 set-up in my basement, where I work out while listening to some music, and occasionally watch some movies and TV, so I don't need a high-end 7.2 unit. I'm considering going to a 5.1 setup in the near future, though, so it's good that this receiver can handle it. If you're not familiar with the terminology, the front number in "2.1" generally refers to the number of speakers you have set up, and the number after the period refers to the number of subwoofers. For a good surround sound in a home theater, you should have at least a 5.1 setup.From a cost perspective, the Onkyo is an entry-level receiver, but it has a lot of features that you used to only see on higher-end units. One nice feature is compatibility with 4k displays incorporating HDMI version 2.0 inputs, so it should be able to seamlessly handle that 4k signal, unlike older receivers with HDMI 1.4.Read more ›

The A/V receiver that has (just about) all you'll need
David Field

Many years ago I used to be interested in hi-fi. The magazines in Britain at the time had to pick out equipment that sounded good, as opposed to having the highest number of watts. Along with brands like NAD, Wharfedale, and Shure, there was a fairly constant recommendation for the sound of Onkyo receivers.I never owned an Onkyo, but looking at this home theater receiver, I can see why it got so much praise. Something that maybe you don't understand is that Onkyo still uses a discrete layout (that's discrete meaning separate, rather than discreet meaning keeping secrets). What that means is instead of buying an integrated amplifier chip, Onkyo designs and makes their own.What this means in terms of sound is that an Onkyo sounds better than the competition. But that's only one benefit. This home theater receiver can sit between your TV and your speakers (Monoprice makes two good 5.1 sets for around $120, and around $260 for the other set: Monoprice 108247 5.1-Channel Home Theater Speaker System, Six and for $260, Monoprice Premium 5.1-Ch. Home Theater System with Subwoofer) and will give you everything you need. There are sockets galore and a Dolby decoding circuit to change your stereo sound into 5.1 audio.This receiver connects to almost everything. It has wireless Ethernet and Bluetooth, and there is an included application that enables you to connect to a large range of online music streaming sites. You can also listen to music from your iPhone or Android device.Read more ›
