context_page_description: Onkyo Corporation is a Japanese consumer electronics manufacturer, specializing in premium home cinema and audio equipment, including AV receivers, surround sound speakers and portable devices. The word Onkyo translates as "sound resonance". On is the pronunciation that came from old China, as traditional Japanese Oto, means "the sound." Kyo is also from Chinese as Hibiki or Hibiku in traditional Japanese, means resound/sound/echo. The company started under the name of Osaka Denki Onkyo K.K in 1946. The current Onkyo Corporation umbrella includes the Integra and Integra Research divisions as well as the main Onkyo brand.
  In March 2015, Onkyo purchased Pioneer Corporation's Home Electronics Corporation, which produces home cinema amplifiers, Blu-ray players and other AV products. In return, Pioneer took a 14.95% stake in Onkyo. The Ohtsuki family remained the largest shareholders of the company with an approximately 26% stake, just above Gibson Brands, with a 16.5% stake.
  With the bankruptcy of Gibson in 2018, Onkyo's shares held by Gibson were sold, as the company itself reported.
  In the summer of 2020, major US retailers Amazon and Best Buy discontinued sales of Onkyo products.
