Benefits of Onkyo TX-NR696 7.2-Channel Network A/V Receiver with THX® Certified Select™:
THX® Certified Select™ Cinema-Reference Sound
Onkyo’s THX Certified Select guarantees the same reference volume and sound quality at a commercial cinema in rooms where the viewing position is about 3.5 m from the screen.
Dolby Atmos® and DTS:X® – setting sound free
Dolby Atmos® and DTS:X® formats come with 3D sound effects that move from speaker to speaker all around the room, engrossing your audience in an immersive experience. With the Dolby Surround® and DTS® Neural:X, you can find overhead cues in legacy soundtracks and upmix for awesome spatial realism.
Dolby Atmos Height Virtualizer
When playing any Dolby® format, the Dolby Atmos Height Virtualizer* enables a more immersive listening experience, creating a virtual surround and height effect from traditional speaker layouts without employing additional surround or height speakers.
*Enabled with a future firmware update
Flexible 3D sound with DTS Virtual:X™
DTS Virtual:X* is a surround virtualization technology that creates an immersive 3D sound-field from horizontal speaker layouts without requiring height-speaker connection. It uses DSP algorithms to create a sense of 3D spatiality and is effective in rooms of any size and shape. Additionally, DTS Virtual:X works with DTS:X, DTS® formats, and non-encoded stereo soundtracks and is enabled with a future firmware update.
Key Design Enhancements Improve Sound
The TX-NR696 provides upgraded performance with an accelerated driving power. It is equipped with a new HDMI® board that features larger, stronger, better-finished grounds and shortened signal-paths to reduce noise on A/V signals. Also, the latest SoC processor has its own board remote from audio signal-paths to reduce noise. Moreover, the power-supply line has been strengthened in pursuit of driving power, while the Front (L/R) and Center amps now feature two transistors each, effectively doubling current-handling capabilities as a result of which you can feel the blistering attack speed and force of the bass and experience the clarity.
Share audio flexibly in Zone 2
The TX-NR696 supports flexible 3D-ready 5.2-ch cinema surround speaker layouts with two channels that enable playback in another room. The Zone 2 outputs distribute amplified analog, NET, Bluetooth®, SPDIF, and HDMI audio sources in either or both zones at the same time (there’s a Zone 2 DAC). Output from Zone 2 and Zone 2 line-out is enabled.* HDMI and SPDIF supports PCM audio only. Also, HDMI audio is available on inputs 1–3.
Relax with Stereo Assign Mode
The TX-NR696 has a Stereo Assign Mode that switches playback from Front speakers to either Surround, Rear Surround, or Height speaker pairs at the touch of a button. Create the perfect ambient listening with the BGM of your choice and unwind to the sound of music.
