The model is THX Select certified and supports IMAX Enhanced . In addition, the Onkyo TX-RZ70 receiver has a special Klipsch Optimized Mode that allows you to optimally work with acoustics of the Klipsch Reference and Reference Premiere series . The output stages of the receiver are made on discrete elements and operate in class AB.

The Onkyo TX-RZ70 receiver has advanced networking capabilities for music streaming and supports AirPlay 2, DTS Play-Fi, Chromecast, Tidal, Spotify, Deezer, Amazon Music and Pandora. For integration into a computer network, you can use the built-in wireless Wi-Fi adapter, or a wired Ethernet version.
