Product Description

If you want an idea of where Onkyo's home theater packages are heading, the HT-S5200 is well worth checking out. Like previous Onkyo 7.1-channel receiver/speaker packages, the HT-S5200 delivers reassuringly hefty amounts of power and all-round performance. And in line with other recent offerings, it's also perfectly suited for high-definition entertainment in the home.

The 1080p video takes center stage from sources such as Blu-ray Disc, DVD, HD broadcasting, and gaming. The emphasis is still on Onkyo's audio prowess, so the HT-S5200 is equipped with three groundbreaking Audyssey technologies that will give you the edge in terms of surround sound. It also features some exciting innovations from Onkyo: a dedicated port that connects the iPod via the Dock for the iPod and DSP modes specifically designed for gaming.

A Suite of Audyssey Technologies for the Ideal Listening Environment

The HT-5200 has three Audyssey technologies to help create the most suitable listening environment for your home. The first is Audyssey 2EQ™ for Room Acoustic Correction. The HT-5200 uses Audyssey 2EQ to counter distortion created by walls, furniture, and other objects. This technology detects speaker distance, and then sets levels, delays, and crossovers, while also measuring room acoustics. Compared to one-position room correction systems, Audyssey 2EQ covers a much wider listening area. Moreover, it corrects problems in both frequency response and time domain (where most of the problems lie) across the entire listening area. The results are immediately obvious--a clear, well-balanced, and natural sound.

The second is Audyssey Dynamic Volume™ control. This technology allows you to set the volume level that you want and keep it there, without having to constantly adjust it. By anticipating sudden spikes and dips in the audio soundtrack and compensating for them in real time, Audyssey Dynamic Volume ensures consistent volume levels, regardless of the content you're enjoying. Thanks to Audyssey Dynamic Volume, quiet dialogue is easier to pick up, loud passages retain their impact, and commercials are less intrusive.

The third is Audyssey Dynamic EQ™ for Loudness Correction. In professional sound studios, music and movies are recorded at reference levels far louder than what is typical for home listening. As a result, when you play audio content at a low volume on a standard home theater receiver, the bass disappears, voices change in timbre, and the surround soundstage loses definition. To counteract this audio deterioration, Audyssey Dynamic EQ continuously adjusts frequency response and the surround soundstage loses definition. To counteract this audio deterioration, Audyssey Dynamic EQ continuously adjusts frequency response and surround levels to produce the ideal balance for a given volume level

HDMI™ Pass-Thru* for Connecting up to Four Video Sources for Output to a High-Definition Display

The HT-S5200 takes up to four HDMI video inputs from sources such as Blu-ray Disc players, DVD players, gaming consoles, and set-top boxes, and delivers the output to a compatible high-definition display. Video is passed in its native resolution--right up to 1080p--from Blu-ray Disc, PlayStation® games, or HD broadcasts.

Dedicated Port for Single-Cable Connection of the Dock for the iPod

The HT-S5200 features a proprietary port, located on the rear side of the unit, to which you can connect Onkyo's Dock for the iPod. The dock sends both video and audio signals through a single cable. Earlier versions of Onkyo's Dock for the iPod can be connected via our Remote Interactive (RI) system. Now you can experience your music in your surround sound system and listen to it like never before.

Music Optimizer™ and Convenient Front-Panel Audio Input for Portable Devices

An audio input on the front panel of the HT-S5200 enables you to connect your iPod or other MP3 player directly to the system. The HT-S5200's onboard Music Optimizer technology then works to enhance the quality of your compressed digital music files by compensating for bit information lost at higher frequencies.

Four Game Modes for More Thrilling Action

A new addition to the Onkyo home theater, these four gaming modes create an experience with more realism and impact. You can select from Rock, Sports, Action, or Role Playing Game (RPG) modes to match your gaming content. Don't just play your games--live them, breathe them, feel them.

SIRIUS™ Satellite Radio Ready*

By using the SIRIUS input on the A/V receiver's rear, it's possible to enjoy SIRIUS Satellite Radio. SIRIUS brings access to over 130 digital-quality channels, including 69 channels of 100% commercial free music, plus exclusive channels of sports, news, talk, entertainment, traffic, weather, and data.
*SIRIUS requires separate purchase of subscription, compatible tuner, and antenna.

Product Description

The latest addition to ATI's Radeon HD 4800 series of graphics cards falls short of the performance benchmark set by NVIDIA's GTX285. Nevertheless, if you are after decent performance without the credit card debt, the Sapphire Radeon HD 4890 will provide a modest boost in performance over the Radeon HD 4870.
In most respects, the Radeon HD 4890 isn't all that different from its predecessors, though ATI has made some tweaks under the hood. The card runs an altered 55nm RV770 GPU dubbed the RV790 which, thanks to tweaks and an increase in transistors, features a standard clock speed of 850MHz. Along with the GPU alterations, ATI has made 1GB of GDDR5 memory a mainstay of the Radeon HD 4890, with a clock speed of 975MHz for 124.8GB per second total memory bandwidth.
These changes also decrease the power consumption, going from the 90W required for the Radeon HD 4870 to a comparatively green 60W, though the Radeon HD 4890 graphics card will still require two 6-pin power connections. Temperatures also see a drop, going from hellish 90 degrees Celsius to more reasonable temperatures of 34 degrees at idle and a peak of 51 degrees during intensive operation. There is a cost to pay for this cool operation, however, as the video card's fan reaches sound levels that rival a construction site and, without an automatic fan monitoring utility, the fan's continuing attempts to deafen you will surely become a nuisance if installed in the wrong enclosure. The Radeon HD 4890 graphics card measures 241mm in length for an easy fit in most ATX cases, though it will still take up two PCI slots. ATI provides a single S-Video and two DVI outputs, with the latter enabled for HDCP and audio throughput, making connection to a conventional television or HDMI-equipped monitor easy to accomplish.
Despite the noise, the Radeon HD 4890 performed quite well in our tests, which we ran on Windows Vista 64-bit PC with an Intel Core i7 965, 6GB of DDR3 RAM and a Western Digital VelociRaptor (WD3000GLFS) hard drive, in an Antec Skeleton case.
In Futuremark's 3DMark06, the Radeon HD 4890 graphics card scored a total of 10509 points, a significant advantage over the 9708 points that the NVIDIA GTX285 managed. However, in the 3DMark Vantage benchmark tests, the Radeon HD 4890's score of X4718 was inferior to the GTX285's X6191.
In real world gaming benchmarks, ATI's single GPU graphics card managed 131.42fps in Half Life 2: Episode Two and 60.3fps in Call of Juarez. These results are commendable, though the Radeon HD 4890's 48fps fell behind the GTX285's 60.17fps in Far Cry 2. In the DirectX 10 version of Lost Planet, the Radeon HD 4890 performed at 34.45fps to the GTX285's 50.1fps. Surprisingly, the two graphics cards were on par in Crysis: Warhead, showing a negligible 0.2fps between the ATI graphics card's 35.1fps to the GTX285's 35.3fps. Though the GTX285 remains a clear winner overall when comparing the two graphics cards, the Radeon HD 4890 still performs well.
While overclocking potential is generally not an area we pay too much attention to, it is definitely worth mentioning with the Radeon HD 4890 as overclocking the GPU and memory modules beyond their standard clocks is an easy and — in this case — a rewarding task. Using only the standard cooler and ATI's own Overdrive utility (available in the Catalyst Control Centre), we managed to overclock the Radeon HD 4890 reference design to a GPU clock of 1GHz and memory clock of 1200MHz without losing system stability. At these increased speeds we managed to squeeze an extra 3.1fps out of our Crysis: Warhead benchmark, a decent result for little effort.
The small improvements made to the Radeon HD 4890's GPU core and increased memory make for a decent boost in performance over other single GPU Radeon HD 4800 series cards, without inflating the price significantly. Though the noise is worrying, the performance and overclocking potential are well worth it.
