  • Excellent Receiver!
I've owned this receiver for just over a year now and I love it. I have my PC connected to it via HDMI, 7.1 surround with my choice of DTS, Dolby, or THX modes. Setup was simple and I had no issues getting everything configured. A few months ago I updated the firmware which was also easy and problem free. All my movies that are encoded with DTS or Atmos come through sounding great. Hearing jets flying over you while the subwoofer lets you feel every explosion. Dialog comes in crisp and clear. Video games are also much more immersive. Playing Dead Space (2023) in Dolby Atmos is so much fun when you can hear monsters coming up behind you. Space Marine 2 also sounds great from hearing the roar of some alien creature to the satisfying sound the Thunder Hammer makes when you crush said creature. I have a plugin for Winamp (Yup! I'm that old and it still whips the llama's ass) that up-scales stereo to 5.1, I use DTS:X which fills out to 7.1 and makes the sound really fill out the room. Pink Floyd's remastered Dark Side of the Moon for Dolby Atmos sounds like your on the stage with the band. You can hear different instruments and sound effects from different speakers. The only problem I've been having, which I'm not sure is the fault of the receiver, is the mode on the receiver will sometimes change from DTS:X to whatever mode I had set before it detected the DTS:X signal. This could be due to windows closing the audio connection when the file ends. Sometimes I can just press play and it will switch back, other times I have to manually re-select DTS:X in windows. DTS:X and Dolby Atmos are only enabled when the receiver detects that type of signal and you can't manually set it to either and have it not change on its own. All in all I am very happy with my purchase. This is my first Onkyo that replaced a very old Sony that was good in its time when it worked. The Sony died once a year 3 years in a row. Hopefully the Onkyo does better. ... show more

  • Just what I needed!
I treated myself to this new unit after my two-and-a-half-year-old, refurbished Onkyo started making popping sounds through the speakers and then the audio just quit. Hey, it was great while it lasted, and I sure got my money's worth out of it. (bought it off eBay) This new model does everything I need it to do, and it was very easy for me to setup. Basically, unplugged from the old unit and plugged everything into the new. I did convert the bare speaker wires to banana plugs just to "upgrade" the wiring a bit. Easy. Setup was a cinch, though just a little different from the older unit. During the setup, the built-in WiFi connected to my internet and I upgraded the firmware. Again, easy. I ran the speaker setup with the included microphone and one thing I've noticed since then is that my bass sound is a bit too strong, so I've backed the sub down a few decibels. I didn't have to do that with the other and I'm still tweaking the bass, more to my liking. When I can hear the dishes rattling in the kitchen, I feel like that's too much bass. (thanks Toby speakers) My center speaker is a Klipsch Reference and there's a selection for Klipsch in the Onkyo setup which I went with. I believe Klipsch and Onkyo are now part of the same family (Voxx/Audiovox) hence the offered setting. I'm very happy with this new receiver. I've noticed this unit runs cooler than the other. I had thought about putting in a cooling fan system but will re-think that move. Now if I could just work the bugs out of programming my Logitech Harmony universal remote. The controller codes apparently are different for this receiver. Could anybody suggest another universal remote controller that works well? This Onkyo was a great buy. It shipped from Adorama, which doesn't matter, but I'm familiar with them because I had purchased some video equipment from them in the past. I hope you enjoy yours. Whoa! Too much coffee. ... show more

  • I prefer the sound of this over Denon. Great receiver at a great price - UPDATE #3
I was recommended a Denon X2600H and gave it a shot. Coming from an older Onkyo, I didn't feel like the Denon packed enough punch. Dialogue wasn't quite as clear as what I was used to and music felt more flat. I hooked up the NR696 when it arrived and ran the speaker calibration. I instantly noticed the difference in sound between the two receivers. Everything sounds much more crisp and clear on the Onkyo. Much like the sound I was used to from my old faithful Onkyo that still works after 15 years, but updated with HDMI for a more convenient setup. Onkyo NR696 is also THX certified unlike the mid range Denon receivers, and THX Cinema mode sounds awesome. Pretty much every THX mode seems to produce the best sound. Apparently Onkyo addressed past HDMI issues with "refined HDMI grounds". I haven't had any issues with it yet. Dolby Vision (HDR) passes through it fine and the picture looks great. So far I have a 4k blu ray player and PC going through it and all's well. I also prefer the Onkyo remote. The ability to adjust tone and boost voice with the touch of a button is nice. I do wish it was back-lit though. It seems remote back-lighting is becoming less common for whatever reason. Maybe to keep prices more competitive. Aside from that there's really nothing I don't like about this receiver as of now. I'll update if any issues come up. UPDATE 11/10/19. 2 stars removed: I'm noticing video blackouts on multiple HDMI ports. So far I've only used stream box, PC, and BD/DVD HDMI ports and all three have the same issue with different devices. The screen will randomly go black for a few seconds, but the audio will continue playing. Sometimes (rarely) I'll lose the signal completely and have to unplug the receiver and plug it back in. I'm using quality HDMI cables, and the 4K Fire Stick plugs directly into the port so there's no cable at all to question. It's not a constant problem, but if it happens once a day it's still a problem. I'll be contacting customer service and hoping to find a fix rather than sending it in for repair. UPDATE 6/24/20. One star restored: I'm happy to say that after a few firmware updates (not sure which one did the trick), I'm no longer losing signal with HDMI. I haven't had to unplug and replug the receiver when switching devices for weeks. No cable or device changes were made, just firmware updates from Onkyo. Sometimes there is still a bit of a handshake issue, like it'll switch to stream box when a device initially starts up in game, but that's easily fixed with the remote. I gave it one more star for their efforts, but still not a solid 5 star because of the initial issues I had and minor problems that still exist. I love the sound and features and don't regret my purchase. A shaky start but for the price I'm happy. ... show more

  • Much Better Than Expected
This Onkyo receiver is much better than I anticipated. Physical setup, connecting speakers and other devices, was simple but a little time consuming. That is just the nature of the beast. I was amazed that once all the connections were complete the setup microphone balanced my 5.1 surround speakers perfectly. It has more power than my previous Onkyo AV receiver (which I retired after 14 years) and sounds amazing. The zone 2 feature, along with the Bluetooth connectivity is great for my outdoor patio speakers and phone. And with the Onkyo phone app it's a breeze to manage the system from outside. This was also another feature that attracted me to this device. Once, by accident, I found that I was streaming music from my streaming service indoors and outside my iTunes app was playing, both from the same phone. Some advice about the setup: When following the setup guide and it says that if you want to ONLY use the zone 2 speakers and not the main speakers you need to set the main speakers to standby mode. It took me a while to understand that what they mean is that you select an unused/inactive HDMI port for the main speakers. There is not a "standby" feature/setting. Overall, this device exceeded my expectations and was an exceptionally good price. Last note: While extremely pleased with this AVR I will reserve final judgement until it dies or is retired, whichever comes first. ... show more

  • Will Never Buy Another ONKYO Product
This is my forth Onkyo going into my third home theater, so not a novice. Previous receivers trouble free and worked to obsolescence. Had some set up problems with the 696 immediately as the receiver is extremely sensitive to speaker wire shorts. Had to rewire all the speaker wires on both ends 3 times w/ two sets of banana plugs before I could play a high volume w/out error. Very happy w/ sound quality and features while it worked, then the dreaded HDMI fault occurred after approx 2 months. Troubleshot for days on the forums and w/ Onkyo tech support to no avail. Was told to ship it across state to the nearest warranty center at own cost ($40) and waited a few months for it's return. Got it back, reinstalled it, and it played for 5 minutes before HDMI fault reoccurred. Another trip to UPS. Warranty center says they're awaiting parts (power supply) from the new Onkyo going on 5 months now. Bottom line, I've been without the use of the receiver for 7 months out of the first 10 I've owned it. Last Onkyo I will ever buy. ... show more

  • Very Nice AV Mid-Grade Receiver
Unbeatable price on Amazon/Adorama on this very capable receiver. I’d recommend this for anyone looking for a capable and flexible AV Receiver. The remote control and the app are a little dated but functional. The description wants you to think that it’s a 210 watts per channel receiver. It’s really rated at 210W/Ch at 10%THD with a single channel driven! With 2 channels driven it’s 100W/Ch at 0.08% THD. Overall, driving 5 or 7 or 9 channels, it may be sufficient but could be under powered in a large room. The receiver is replacing a Sony receiver in a spare room and powering 5.1 system, mainly to add the Network capabilities. I also have a six year old Onkyo TX-NR646 that powers another 5.1 system along with 5 sets of stereo speakers on Zone 2, throughout the house and patio. And it does a great job powering all speakers. Overall, there’s very little difference between this and a six years older receiver. Unfortunately, each receiver uses a different app. ... show more

  • This is a great AVR! Onkyo Tech Support Attentive But WRONG. I WAS returning AVR but no longer.
Following many power trips at a volume setting of just 65 I talked to Amazon and they put me on phone with Onkyo Support. Onkyo Tech Support said my 130 watt THX Speakers are too powerful for my New Onkyo TX-NR696 210 W/Ch THX Certified Receiver and that is why it was tripping off but they were wrong. It turns out the Self diagnosis mode of the receiver was right, it said "Check SP Wires." I didn't check speaker wires as all speakers sounded correctly at low power settings and tested out correctly during the initial set up on the receiver. Turns out that when I was disconnecting unit to send it back I found a spot in one speaker wire that had the insulation scrapped off (see photo) but no direct contact between the bare wires. I replaced that wire and now it will stay online and drive you out of the house at volume settings of 80 and probably above but didn't test higher due to ear pain. Diagnosis obviously complicated by sound from all speakers normal at low levels, but at high power the missing insulation allowed arcing and the introduction of the safety trip. All new wires now and unit sounds great and stays on line at all listening levels my house and can stand. Love it! ... show more

  • Truly enough Power to push an outdoor patio system!!!
There is a difference in the power output you need for an indoor system and an outdoor or OPEN space audio system. This Receiver pushes PLENTY of watts to your speakers to rock a solid system outside. IF you need the next step down in power because you have a normal 15x 20 living room then the Onkyo TXSR494 is a good option. Or spend a little more on this TX-NR696 and KNOW YOU HAVE ENOUGH POWER ALL DAY!!!! I have multiple of both receivers and the space size determines what you need but if you aren't sure. The volume is on 63 of 90 in the video and it's LOUD and CLEAR. It will stay clear all the way to the top volume. ... show more
