Our take on the TX-NR696 7.2-Channel Network A/V Receiver

The Onkyo TX-NR696 is a 7.2-channel network AV receiver rated at up to 100W per channel into 8 ohms, built around a discrete amp design. It supports 5.2.2-channel Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, passes HDR UHD video, upscales 1080p to 4K, and offers seven HDMI inputs and two outputs with ARC. Wi-Fi, Ethernet and Bluetooth cover streaming, and AccuEQ handles room calibration. It suits people building a midrange home theater who want Atmos height channels and a lot of HDMI switching without stepping up to a flagship receiver. Against rivals in its class it stands out on HDMI count and Atmos support; its known weak spots are the calibration system and the streaming app experience.
