![]() Incidentally, the back of the Onkyo TX-RZ830 is classified differently from the 820, indicating that this is not just a reissue of an old device. According to Onkyo, the receiver is also compatible with Google Assistant, but we did not see the receiver popping up in the Home app and we could not test this feature. So you can integrate it into a home automation system. Projector enthusiasts may appreciate the 12V trigger and there is also an IR sensor input, in addition to an RS232 connection. Legacy video inputs are also present, for those who want to connect an antique console. Conveniently, there is a USB port with 1A in the port, so you can feed a Chromecast video stick. Six HDMI inputs and two HDMI outputs give you a lot of flexibility. This is typically a function that you only find on a midrange, interesting if you want to listen to your music on a better, dedicated stereo amplifier. You can also use the TX-RZ830 purely as an AV processor, because a pre-out is available for all 11.2 channels. The five classic surround channels are supplemented with front channel channels (which you can also use as bi-amp channels for the stereo channels), for surround back (also usable for a second set of height channels or a third zone) and connections for zone 2. A large part of this is occupied by the loudspeaker terminals of a decent – but more importantly not – quality. This also applies to the Onkyo TX-RZ830, which sports a very full back. With a middle-class device you will not easily connect. Thanks to a recent firmware update, the TX-RZ830 is one of the first receivers with eARC support. Thanks to the presence of DTS: X and Dolby Atmos the Onkyo can directly control a 5.2.4 or 7.2.2 setup, possibly expand to 7.2.4 if you add an additional stereo amplifier to your system. Whatever you pay, for that money you get a 9.2 receiver that you can use in a variety of surround arrangements. We immediately say that Onkyo and Pioneer seem to be entering the market aggressively, and that you can purchase this receiver for a lot less if you look around. With a price tag of 1.499 euros, the TX-RZ830 is an AV receiver the upper middle class. ![]() Another important difference between the 820 and 830 is the number of channels: the older Onkyo is a 7.2 receiver, the new version has two channels. ![]() Read our background article about Works with Sonos and you are completely at. In this test we will not look at the compatibility of Sonos compatibility, because it is identical to the function at the VSX-933 of sister brand Pioneer. Because there is a lot of news to this generation of Onkyo receivers, including the ‘Works with Sonos’ feature that we discussed earlier in depth. And then the Onkyo TX-RZ830 is blowing inside, a device that you can see as the exception that confirms the rule. ![]() Because every year offer important new features, that is not possible. With AV receivers it is customary to publish an update every year, which is mostly done for commercial reasons. The TX-RZ830 is the successor of the TX-RZ820 that we tested last year. That Google Assistant support and Sonos compatibility make him an outsider. It tries first and foremost to tempt you with a THX label and unlikely many streaming options, including Chromecast. The Onkyo TX-RZ830 is a new 9.2 AV receiver from Onkyo. ![]()
