Product Information
Take the first step into truly cinematic sound, with the Onkyo TX-SR3100.
Your home cinema adventure starts here
For a big step up from a soundbar, a dedicated AVR (Audio Visual Receiver) gives you powerful and truly immersive surround sound. With its wide range of surround modes, powerful 80 watt output and flexible connectivity, the Onkyo TX-SR3100 makes the perfect introduction.
Dolby Atmos, DTS:X and DTS Neural:X for cinematic sound
This Onkyo AVR is compatible with both Dolby Atmos and DTS:X*. Both formats use ceiling or upward firing speakers to deliver an immersive, multi-dimensional sound. Dolby Atmos and DTS:X make an overhead aircraft sound frighteningly realistic or a tropical storm a drenching experience. DTS Neural:X upmixes non-DTS:X signals, giving you a similarly enveloping sound with other sources.
*Note, up-firing speakers are used instead of rear speakers, creating a 3.2.2 channel system.
Get the Atmos or DTS:X effect, without the extra speakers
As this is a 5.2 channel AVR, it’s not possible to have both rear and Atmos/DTS:X effect speakers. If you’d like to use rear speakers then take advantage of the handy Dolby Atmos Height Virtualization and DTS Virtual:X settings for a sense of 3D sound, without the extra speakers. Play any Dolby format and enjoy a more immersive sound with virtual height enhancement – using your existing speakers. DTS Virtual:X also creates a more enveloping sound from any DTS codec.
Klipsch Optimise Mode
Unique to Onkyo, the TX-SR3100 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 vales being incorporated into the Onkyo. This means that you get optimised sound quality, at the touch of a button.
8K compatible HDMI interface
For wide ranging connectivity, the TX-SR3100 has four HDMI inputs and an output for your TV. This lets you use the AVR as a hub, with your games console, Blu-ray player, TV set-top box and other device routed through it. What’s more, the interface is 8K compatible, making it ready for the next generation of TVs. For seamless video playback, it’s also compatible with Dolby Vision, HDR10+ and HDCP2.3.
Ideal for gamers
As well as suiting 8K TVs, the HDMI interface also helps give your gaming a boost. This facilitates a range of features, including 4K/120Hz pass-through for ultra-fast motion. VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) eliminates lag, stutter, and frame-tearing for fluid gameplay. ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode) optimizes latency from source to screen and QFT (Quick Frame Transport) limits lag for a smoother experience. Put together, they give you a massive gaming advantage.
Connect with Bluetooth
With built-in Bluetooth, it's not just cinema sound that's given a boost but music from your smartphone or tablet, too. Use Onkyo’s Advanced Music Optimizer and any compressed music formats are given a richer, more expansive sound.
The hub of your system
As well as the HDMI interface, the TX-SR3100 comes with a wide range of soundbar-busting connectivity. A range of RCA phono, optical and coaxial sockets are perfect for other sources, such as a CD player and network streamer. There’s even a USB power outlet, that’s ideal for powering a smart TV dongle device. For instant music, news or sport there’s also a built-in FM/AM tuner radio.
Perfect for your room
Activate the AccuEQ room acoustic calibration function and enjoy bespoke audio settings for your room. The system detects the speaker size and positioning and adjusts to suit the room’s acoustics. It even selects the ideal subwoofer crossover setting, for seamless bass that’s not too overwhelming. The result gives you smooth, enveloping sound, that’s perfect for your room and it’s all at the touch of a button.
Make the move into the immersive world of surround sound, with the Onkyo TX-SR3100.
Captivating you in immersive audio from the first listen, the Elac Cinema 5.2 speaker package makes the perfect gateway into true home cinema surround sound.
Top brand home cinema speaker set
The Elac Cinema 5.2 is a top brand speaker set up that’s ideal for getting into home cinema AV separates. With four compact satellite speakers you’re immersed in the sound in a way that a soundbar can’t match. The dedicated centre speaker ensures crystal-clear dialogue that’s pinned to what you see on the screen. For soundtracks that you can feel, a powerful subwoofer with BASH technology is also included.
Sparkling satellite speakers
Compact and easy to place, the four satellite speakers make a minimal visual impact on your room. Start the movie however, and they soon make their presence felt. With two-way drivers, they cover a wide frequency response, especially at the top end. The metal-domed tweeters deliver smooth yet crisp sound that picks out every detail in the soundtrack or special effects.
Dedicated centre speaker delivers vocal clarity
Designed specifically for centre speaker purposes, the fifth Cinema 5.2 ‘middle’ speaker is optimised for dialogue. The horizontal format speaker uses twin woofers, giving you a broad spread of sound between the front speakers, without ‘gaps’ in the sound stage. The design also helps tie the sound to the screen, especially when used with a large screen TV or projector.
Powerful bass response
For truly cinematic bass that keeps you on the edge of your seat, the Cinema 5.2 is supplied with an active subwoofer. Pairing a 200mm woofer cone with 100 watt (peak) BASH technology amplifier ensures bass that’s both deep and tightly controlled. The downward-firing woofer makes it easier to place the subwoofer and helps spread the bass more evenly around your room. Phase inversion lets you position the subwoofer behind you, if needed.
Room-friendly size and placement
Small enough to pick up with one hand, the satellite speakers are neat and unobtrusive. They fit perfectly on a shelf or mantelpiece or can be wall mounted with the supplied bracket set.
Experience true surround sound, with the cinematic Elac Cinema 5.2 speaker package.
