Choose between 7.2.2 or 5.2.4 Dolby Atmos speaker configurations with two or four ceiling speakers. Alternatively, stick with 5.2.2 and power a second pair of speakers in another room or bi-amp your main pair of speakers. As your system grows, so the capability of this Onkyo grows with it.
Upgrade to 11-channel surround
Add an extra stereo power amp and the Onkyo becomes truly cinematic – with mighty 11-channel sound. This lets you configure four ceiling or Atmos-enabled speakers as well as full 7-channel surround sound, giving true 7.2.4 channel Atmos sound.

Compatible formats include IMAX Enhanced, Dolby Atmos, DTS:X plus Dolby Atmos Height Virtualization and DTS Neural:X for up-mixed audio.

Acoustic room correction by DIRAC Live
Thanks to state-of-the-art digital room correction from DIRAC, the TX-RZ50 offers pro-level room optimisation. DIRAC live uses a USB microphone (not included) and dedicated PC software to take multiple readings around your room and feed the information back to the amplifier for a completely bespoke response (professional set-up recommended).
Klipsch Optimise Mode
Unique to Onkyo, the TX-RZ50 sounds even better when partnered with Klipsch Reference and Reference Premiere speakers. Collaboration between the two companies has resulted in the implementation of precise crossover values being incorporated into the Onkyo. This means that you get optimised sound quality, at the touch of a button.
8K and 4K/120Hz compatible HDMI interface
With three HDMI inputs, the main output plus the Sub mode HDMI output all supporting 8K and 4K/120Hz, this is the ideal AVR for your 8K TV and the latest gaming devices. A further four HDMI (4K) sockets are fitted for older devices, with one handily positioned at the front. The TX-RZ50 also supports the latest copy protection standard, HDCP 2.3.
Three zone, multi-room flexibility
With a 5.2 channel cinema system in play, you can use the spare channels to add two additional powered zones. Zone 2 and Zone 3 can either be synced with the main signal for ‘party’ sound or play from separate sources – giving the TX-RZ50 true multi-room appeal. Passive outputs for Zone 2 and 3 are also available should you already have amplification or active speakers in place.
Stream it your way, with Apple AirPlay 2 and ‘Works with Sonos’
Much more than just an AV receiver, the TX-RZ50 is also a comprehensive music streamer. Apple AirPlay 2 is standard as is ‘Works with Sonos’. Integrated Amazon Music, Spotify (Premium account required for full features), TIDAL and Deezer are all available, too. There’s also Chromecast and DTS Play-Fi plus TuneIn for Internet radio and Bluetooth music streaming.

Fantastic customer service
I have been using Richer Sounds since 1997, and I have always had amazing customer service. Not only is their service brilliant, but their prices, along with their 6-year refundable warranties, are second to none. It is the only company I would ever use for my HIFI and TV needs.

Good receiver with some niggly flaws.
I purchased the RZ50 after hearing so many good reviews online and coming from using an RZ830 I was really positive to hear the RZ50 was now orderable in the UK after what had happened to Onkyo. I really wanted another Onkyo as I've always loved the sound Onkyo AVRs produce.
Once received and setting it up, the RZ50 sounded fantastic. It comes with Dirac Live built in which is a bonus and I have to say Dirac is the real deal. You can also customise the house curve and once I added the Harman curve it really sounds good and there is a strong sound presence.
However, it doesn't quite feel polished compared to my old RZ830. It's practically the same AVR but just with Dirac and HDMI 2.1 ports. It's advertised as a 9.2 channel receiver but the subwoofer outputs are not independent of each other like what you get on Denon AVRs, so it's the same signal split in two. Which means I can't eq my two subwoofers which means I need to get another device like a minidsp to eq them. There is no sign of Dirac Live Bass Control coming to this so if you have more than 1 sub this AVR may not be right for you. But if you are only ever going to be running one sub then it's no big deal.
My other gripe is that it doesn't include some of the nice features that Denon includes like Dynamic EQ so unfortunately for me, I ended up returning the receiver and will look at swapping it for a Denon X3800H. Just feels that Denon is slightly ahead of the game here, but it's not to say the RZ50 is a bad receiver, it's not. If you can get away with the issues I have then you won't be disappointed.
