Networking Capability for Music Streaming
Built-in networking functionality makes the SR5006 an ideal media center.

Additionally, built-in AirPlay allows you to stream music wirelessly from your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad.

Stylish Design Adds Sophistication to Any Room
Offering a stylish front panel with star and circle porthole display, the SR5006 offers a sleek, bold look. The large volume and input selector knobs add symmetry to the panel, while the simple buttons create a clean and uncluttered appearance.
HDMI Inputs Allow Multiple Digital Connections

The SR5006 features six HDMI inputs that provide uncompressed picture and audio with digital clarity. Support for Deep Color and x.v.Color schemes, which display a larger color range than standard-definition schemes, results in a lifelike, vibrant picture.
Using a single cable, you can easily connect any HDMI-equipped source or display to the receiver. With support for 3D-capable TVs and Blu-ray players, the SR5006 has you covered with HDMI 1.4a compatibility designed specifically for 3D.
There's also a built-in video analog-to-digital converter for watching composite and component video sources on your TV through HDMI. Additionally, the SR5006 upscales digital and analog video signals to the highest resolution your television can handle for the best possible image. That means you'll be able to enjoy yesterday's, today's, and tomorrow's media with ease.
On-Screen Wizard Simplifies Setup
The receiver features auto setup and room calibration and allows you to navigate setup on your TV screen via HDMI. Plug in the included calibration microphone, place it in your favorite seat, and run the setup wizard. The Audyssey MultEQ-XT automatically analyzes your room's acoustic properties to determine the optimal settings. If you wish, you can manually fine-tune individual settings, such as bass, treble, speaker distance, and other properties.
Seven Audio Channels Produce a Theater-Like Experience
For an enveloping surround sound experience, the SR5006's amplifier delivers seven 100-watt channels of equal power and quality. The result is a balanced sound field capable of faithfully reproducing the most demanding movie, gaming, and multi-channel audio.
A 2.2 channel preamp output offers system upgrade possibilities. Use the Dolby Pro Logic IIz feature to add vertical dimension to the front soundstage or add a second subwoofer for roof-rattling lows.
Clear, Pure Audio in High Def
The SR5006's hi-definition audio support lets you take advantage of the latest surround sound formats. From Dolby TrueHD to DTS-HD Master audio, the SR5006's on-board decoding reproduces clear, 7.1 audio via HDMI.
There's also a 192kHz/24-bit digital-to-analog converter for all channels and an isolated audio circuit board for improved sound and minimal interference. Source Direct mode switches off all unused circuitry for the purest audio possible.
M-XPort for Bluetooth Devices
Enjoy audio playback from a variety of sources, including laptops and cell phones, using the M-XPort input. By connecting an RX101 Bluetooth receiver module (sold separately) to the SR5006, you can wirelessly stream audio signals from Bluetooth devices that feature A2DP compatibility.
Front-Panel USB Connection for MP3 Devices
A front-panel USB connection allows direct playback of iPod, iPhone, and other USB drives. The onboard audio expansion circuitry restores your compressed audio files to supply missing high-frequency information, resulting in near-CD sound quality.
