The HT-S9800THX will play Dolby Atmos, DTS:X and THX sound to accompany a 4K HDR picture.

Onkyo's new 7.1 surround sound system has a couple of new tricks up its sleeve. THX support is one of them (hence the name) but the set-up can also play Dolby Atmos and DTS:X spacially-mixed soundtracks, as well as Dolby Surround and DTS Neural:X.

It will also allow 4K HDR passthrough, whether that's in HDR10, Dolby Vision or Hybrid Log-Gamma (HLG) format. Video content can be sent via Chomecast, and audio by Bluetooth and AirPlay.

The Onkyo HT-S9800THX will be available in June, priced at £1300.
