Hi, I have just bought an NR-1009. I have a macbook pro, I can get it to see music and photos off my computer but I do no not know how to push music to the Onkyo from my macbook. Any help will be appreciated.

@MADDOX921 Hi, you will need to make sure that you are running a DLNA/UPnP server software on your device (Mac, iPhone, iPad, etc). While we cannot recommend any specific sofware, we did some quick tests with e.g. iMediaShare on iPhone/iPad which worked as expeced. Please also note that the TX-NR1009 does only support playback of music over network (e.g. no streaming of videos, or display of pictures).

Is there an A/B switch for the speakers? 

[OnkyoEU]

@irispallida Hi, A/B configuration is supported (switch on front / left side)

HI, I am planning to buy TX-8050 to pair it with Bowers &Wilkins 685 speakers (2x100W x 8Ohm), would it be ok? Is there any other Onkyo networked model with 8 Ohm?

@soufieneTUN Hi, we just had a look at the specs at bowers-wilkins.co.uk/Speakers/­Home_Audio/600_Series/685.html - they definitely look fine :) Regarding other models, the TX-8050 is currently the only network stereo receiver model. But you could e.g. combine separate components, like the network tuner T-4070 with an amplifier like A-9070 / A-9000R or even P3000R + M-5000R, if required (but then you might want to look for larger loudspeaker model, too).

Hi Peter, We test all of our amplifiers at 6ohm, but using 8ohms is no problem at all.Using 120W @ 8ohm speakers is fine realistically the amp will put out between 80-100w at an 8 ohm load, so happy days !

Hi, I have purchased Onkyo TX-8050 and would like to know the RMS at 8 ohm per channel. I am interested in the European specs of the amp at 8 ohm and not the FTC ones. Will it be safe to use 120 watt /8 ohm speakers with this receiver? Many thanks!
