Onkyo TX-NR676 Unboxing & Dolby Atmos Setup

[@YaMomsOyster]

Dude, that was simple and just how I like my operating systems for my gadgets.

[@TechnoDad]

Nice!

[@TheFubarFrenzy]

Another one coming to party late. Own a Onk NR575 which has options for the 5.1.2 set up Currently in a 5.1 set up with the surrounds in ceiling. I'd like the atmos set up to add 2 more ceilings.... This video is the first to easy explain the "top front" , "top middle" to me. I'm in a situation, which I've seen others as well, to decide on which one to choose from. I'm having installation this weekend, so decision time. Thanks for vid though, it was very helpful!

[@JoeBob79569]

Laughed at "Well, I know other stuff..", was impressed with the floating title tags, then laughed again at "wifey" in the reflection of the receiver. Nice job!

[@boondog52]

Simple and concise, just what I was looking for.

[@TechnoDad]

Awesome!

[@MrSwimmster]

All 9 channels can be powered at the same time..... sorry to contradict you there, but I have this set up with all 9 shakers being powered as well as 3 subs running... front left, front right, center, two height ceiling mounted speakers, two side surround speakers and two rear surround speakers. Using two preamps for the subs, and piggy backing off one sub with a Y to the front sub.

[@jacobhaimovitz4326]

I saw that in 2018 you have one of the 2016 LG 4K UHD Multi-HDR with HDR10 & Dolby Vision Smart Big Screen OLED Television Series that all do not have Dolby Atmos support: LG OLEDE6 4K UHD Multi-HDR with HDR10 & Dolby Vision Smart Big Screen OLED Television connected and paired to a Onkyo TXNR676 7-Channel Dolby Atmos/DTSX Audio Video Receiver Wired to a 5.1.2 Channel Dolby Atmos Premium Home Theater Surround Sound Loudspeaker System with a 4K UHD BluRay Player with Dolby Vision Dolby Atmos and DTSX connected to the receiver and despite the LG OLED E6 TV not outputting and supporting Dolby Atmos you got Dolby Atmos to work flawlessly to the 4K HDR/Dolby Vision BluRay Player with Dolby Atmos/DTSX connected to the Onkyo Dolby Atmos Receiver in order for the input signal to say Dolby Atmos I have the same too LG 2016 OLED B6 4K UHD HDR Dolby Vision Smart TV paired with a Denon AVRS970H 7 Channel Dolby Atmos and DTSX Premium Home Theater Surround Audio Video Receiver wired to a Klipsch 5.1.2 channel Dolby Atmos/DTSX Premium Home Theater Surround Sound System with the Apple TV 4K UHD HDR Dolby Vision Smart Streaming Media Player with Dolby Atmos connected to the receiver and even though my tv does not have Dolby Atmos I got Dolby Atmos films documentaries tv shows music and other Dolby Atmos content to work very flawlessly from the Apple TV 4K HDR Player to the Receiver in order for the input signal to say Dolby Atmos

[@keithwebb8512]

Great video.. I’m in the process of putting together my first dedicated home theater room with a Onkyo NR 686; I only have it in 5.1 right now , but when I get my new 4K TV I want to try atmos. I have a Onkyo 608 .& 304 and 803 with a Outlaw 5000 X in the living room. Maybe it’s the room size or speakers but the 686 sounds the best ..Question is ; if I add more speakers to the NR 686 go from 5.1 to 7.2 or 5.2.2 will it output less ? I realize this is pretty much a entry level ( no preouts) but it has WIFi & Bluetooth & I got it at a great price..

[@lamkaichai8025]

I also have this model. Installed 5.1.2 speakers. Why don't the two speakers on the roof sound? Do they only sound when watching movies? They don't sound when listening to music. Thank you

[@nateavis5686]

Great review. I actually picked this one up. Love it so far. Where do I get a Atmos demo disk?

[@michaelmancusi3672]

It's cool that you posted this. I purchased this receiver in August when it was $450. It plays Atmos/DTS:X etc as well HDR & Dolby Vision which was important since I have an LG OLED 65E6. I was going with a pretty basic Atmos set up since I live in a building & knew I would drive the neighbors crazy if I went all out....but they still bang on the floor from time to time LoL Anyways, at the time, I also purchased Polk T50 floors ($100 each), Polk T30 center($100), Polk PSW10 sub($100) ELAC A4 Debut up-firing Atmos($220) and I had a previous wireless rear setup using some old Pioneer satellite speakers. I remember when I was doing my homework on the Atmos speakers, people were saying it was hit or miss with the up-firing but I took a chance and they actually work beautifully in my apt. As far as the receiver, I've had no issues and it's performed great for me as well. Plenty powerful enough for my current living. To be honest, I don't think I've ever went passed volume level 65 lol Thanks again for uploading this vid. Actually let me edit this real quick. Question, if I wanted to add another pair of Atmos up-firing for the rears, how could I go about adding them to this receiver? I would need an amp, correct? Any moderately priced amps you'd recommend?

[@TechnoDad]

Hey!! I'm glad you're enjoying your Atmos experience! Unfortunately, you'll need a new AVR if you're trying to add two more Atmos channels. You'll need something that can process and power 9 channels all together. This one will only process and power 7 channels. The 9 channel AVRs start out around $1,200 - $1,500 and go up from there. If you can find a Denon AVR-X4300H still around, you might be able to get one for around $1k.

[@carbonm2]

That reflection tho lol! Looks like wifey yelling at you to get her a soda 😄

[@TechnoDad]

LOL! She was having a chill day at the house. I still haven't told her she's in the video, hahaha!

[@carbonm2]

Haha aww man yeaaaahhh best to keep quiet about this one.

[@cup_and_cone]

I just picked one of these up, but I'm trying to decide if I should build a 7.1 setup or 5.1.2 Atmos setup. I have the ability to do in-ceiling mounted speakers, but I'm wondering about practicality and usage... Will the Atmos speakers only play content on Atmos enabled media, or is the receiver capable of taking Dolby Digital Plus on non-Atmos media and still play 3D content out of those height speakers? Basically, if I do not watch Atmos movies that often, is 7.1 a better route? Or will 5.1.2 still give same audio output as 7.1 on non-Atmos content? Thank you for your help!

[@cup_and_cone]

@@richardmyers7181 - My question was for basic two channel stereo and 5.1 input signals being able to expand playback on every epeaker in 5.1.2 or 7.1 setups. Since I am now several months into it, I'll answer for those with similar questions. The short answer is yes, DTS:NeuralX and Dolby Surround are the two listening formats you can manually choose that will decode and upscale stereo or 5.1 signal inputs to playback on your full system, regardless of your speaker layout/setup. As for 5.1.2 vs 7.1, I went with 5.1.2 because it seems like Atmos keeps getting stronger in the future of DD+ (especially for digital streaming), with more support than ever coming out every few months. On the other hand, "true" 7.1 seems to be very hard to come by these days.

[@epepmeneses6976]

5.1.2 same as 7.1

[@cup_and_cone]

@@epepmeneses6976 Incorrect. The centers on 7.1 are head height, therefore you cannot have full 360 "bubble" object based mixing that Atmos/DTS:X offers. When you upmix DTS:X in a 7.1 or 5.1 system, it is still processed as 2D based soundstage because everything is on the same plane. There is no height element or 3D soundstage that Atmos provides.

[@chrislollar7042]

This is right up my alley. I won't be getting a new AVR until the mancave is done. I've had a Dennon for several years. I've basically narrowed it down to a Dennon or Onkyo. Thoughts?

[@frlccc1910]

Muy buen video. mi consulta es , este receiver aun siendo 7.2 no sirve para funcion ATMOS? ya que no tiene salidas de atmos?. saludos.

[@thriveprosper5548]

Hello, dear friend!!!!!!!! Please, tell me, onkyo 575 or 676. Any difference of SOUND QUALITY ??? PS : 575 price is little lower...

[@asishpanda6567]

I have Onkyo TX-NR575 connected with Klipsch rp-450C,Klipsch 160M,Klipsch 240S,Klipsch 140SA,Klipsch 110SW.I feel center channel speaker is over powered as compered to surround speakers.Would you please recommend best setup with proper power distribution to all speakers,If Amplifier is needed,which Amplifier is best for this setup.

[@MoonMan-pn1kb]

You could have continue with speaker setup the one you did is for in-ceiling speakers just for you info i did the same thing i don't know if it makes a difference or not to me it sounds better.

[@arileandro]

Which button did you press to show the information on the tv screen

[@hi-fihaven2257]

Great video! Looks like a nice receiver, especially with ATMOS for $349! Great for a new to home theater hobby setup!

[@ad78]

I have the new NR797 and all my contents for Atmos were in NAS. No dice! All shows is MCH PCH either 5.1 or 7.1 looks like they show only on itunes store. Netflix atmos dont show as well. I dont have any problem with DV

[@risvan10]

Need advise onkyo 676 vs denon 1400h? which is the best one?

[@robertcorpuz4891]

Is there a setting for dolby Atmos? I only see DTS

[@dappercoon127]

I just grabbed the 686 for 296 after tax from Best Buy. Gonna try to set up Atmos with some old Bose speakers I have. Btw the 686 model is still on sale as of 1/1/2020.

[@CAF972]

What should set the listening mode and listening dial to. Thanks in advance for the response.

[@Mrtscrp30]

Will you go into more depth on this receiver sound quality functions performance? I was hoping for a little more info.

[@TechnoDad]

Yeah, I will once I've had time with it

[@TechnoDad]

I'll say this from the short time I've had it. I'm impressed with the amount of HDMI inputs and the high quality AKM DAC. For such a low price point, I think this is a very versatile AVR.

[@Mrtscrp30]

so you'd say at this price point it's a solid mid tier contender ?

[@TechnoDad]

Hi! Yeah, I'm liking it so far. I have it connected to the SVS Prime Satellite 5.1 system and it's doing a great job. I'm not a huge fan of the green display but I've only had it for a day, we will see when I do my full review in a few weeks.

[@thatsitdotcom]

can you get dolby atmos via netflix app from the tv or apple tv? i feel like true dolby atmos only works with a ultra HD blu ray player.

[@andyrew45]

Captain Jack would also love to know. I just bought an LG 65” oled by now hearing about this eARC which I believe isn’t supported by LG

[@TetraEzio]

This video helped me

[@TechnoDad]

Awesome! I’m glad you found the video!

Hi, good day. Heard good things about onkyo receivers although there are some reviews about HDMI problems. Or maybe it's an isolated case?

I have TX-NR575E, I want to buy speakers for it, stuck between Jamo S809 5.0 and Jamo C95 II 5.0. Best advice, please. C95 II is more good looking I know, just one speaker less and more expensive compared to S809

[@mycrazytechaddiction4104]

I have a question what is 2 or 3 favorite AV receivers and why its important bc I just bought a new av receiver for Dolby atmos/ dts x

[@timothymathetes]

Dude..thanks for this. been curious about 5.1.2 works for a while. looks nice, but how's the sound? Is atmos effective with just two?

[@TechnoDad]

Hi Timothy!! Yes, Atmos is very effective with just two height channels!! I've been rockin' 5.1.2 for over a year now and it's awesome! Since I have the Klipsch RP-140SAs mounted up at the ceiling, I don't need to rely on gimmicky ceiling bounce.

[@locky6796]

There's really no good reviews of the Dali Zensor range of speakers or comparisons, just wondering if there's any places near you were you could possibly check em out and do a your opinion video. Probably a long shot but never know. Great content I've learnt alot from your vids.

[@heroyuy71]

Why do you need to keep your impedance at 6 if you have 8 ohms speaker im new about this thing just curious?

[@tyraunanderson2190]

Try the pioneer vsx lx302 set up please

[@Peter-rc8wy]

I found this receiver brand new still in the box for $100..I had to get it even though I have a Denon AVR- 1300w, would consider an upgrade?

[@Bryan-hd7nm]

I have a question not related to this video lol but I have a e6 oled do you think it’s worth the upgrade to go to the e7? Thanks! Great video as always!

[@kingsomaa]

Hi there. Can atmos works if u have 3.1 klipsch ?

[@TechnoDad]

Yes, but you would still have to get Atmos modules or height channels

[@kingsomaa]

@@TechnoDad I have 3.1 klipsch and onkyo tx-rz730 On LG oled b7 but the atmos don't work on Netflix ☹️ any advice ?

[@TechnoDad]

Do you mean the Netflix app on the TV? There are two settings you need to set on the TV to get ARC working. You have to set the audio to output to the HDMI (ARC) and then turn on CEC on the TV as well.

[@rudseldelima3816]

Kindly provide video setup for Onkyo tx nr696 with Polk audio ls speakers with built in subs front sp 7.1

Sorry, I do not have this AVR anymore

[@faheemiqbal1625]

Hi TechnoDad! nice to see your description about 676. I have one unboxed it a couple of days ago. I want to know which 7.2 speakers are best to use for it? Thanks

[@TechnoDad]

Hi! Most Klipsch and some SVS would work.

[@timtobeymandy]

Sorry im late to the party but hope you can answer my question, I have this AV with a 5.1.2 set up, my "atmos" speakers are actually height speakers angled to my MLP. I have them set to front height but I heard you say you have yours set to "Top middle". Would you say I should change mine to this setting also?

[@TechnoDad]

Hi Cloudz! You can try it out and see what happens. I can't really tell if it would be better as I am not at your home. So watch your favorite Atmos scene and then switch it, and then watch the scene again. See if you notice a difference.

[@timtobeymandy]

@@TechnoDad thanks that makes sense, I'm fairly new to the world of home cinema so any tips are appreciated.

[@TechnoDad]

All good. Most of the time you can trust your ears to tell you what sounds better.

I've had the NR656 for a while, but just installed ceiling speakers and set it up in a 5.1.2 configuration yesterday. I actually let Audessy handle the configuration. My dumb question is, when watching a movie, do I need to manually set the AVR in Atmos movie mode, or should it be getting that information from the player/disc and set the movie mode automatically? Thanks in advance for all the good information!

Can you review the onyko ht-s3910 or ht r398 and how to set up Dolby atmos on it

[@moustacheboy2350]

Dumb question so please excuse me. If i where to buy for instance the Onkyo TX-NR676 (or something similar), and Use a 5.1.2 setup. or using klipsch setup. If i connect my TV to the Receiver using HDMI ARC (tv supports it to) If i then connect my PC, Playstion and Xbox ONLY to my TV using HDMI, will i then still get the sound via the Reciever?? Or do i still need to connect the individually to the receiver and tv?

[@gildragon]

If we can't afford very much and don't have a super great "home theater" space. Would you recommend an Atmos Home theatre in a box like:Onkyo HT-S7700 5.1.2-Ch Dolby Atmos Ready Network A/V Receiver/Speaker Package - available on amazon for about$ 900 ) or would you recommend a soundbar like the SJ9?

[@TechnoDad]

Hi! I would still go with a proper setup. Focal Sib 5.1 on sale for $399 (go.magik.ly/ml/ap70/) and Onkyo TX-NR676 on sale for $339 (amzn.to/2JmbeuG). I think that would be better than a soundbar or that HTIB. You'll have to add some atmos modules, which would put you around the $900 price range. OR, you could use that extra money on speaker cables/stands and get the Atmos modules later. Focal makes some proper speakers and that 5.1 set is normally $800. Pretty good deal if you ask me!

[@schmaltzie1]

When you say just hit info ( 8.20) and see where at. Where is the info button? Thx.

[@eddiifuentes9298]

Hi there, I have the TX-NR696 which I have configured as a 5.1.2. However when you scroll through the sound option, it doesn't give me the Atmos option. Listening mode flicks between Dolby , DolbyX and others but no Atmos. What setting should I leave this setting when watching a movie pls? I also noticed that the center speaker doesn't get a workout compared to my 20y.o Marantz. Voice seems to come over through the L and R Towers more than the centre. Any help would be great thanks.

I’ve got an urgent question. I bought the TX-NR686 a few weeks ago. Setup a 5.1 channel setup with Klipsch Reference Theater Pack. Each speaker is 50 watts and center channel is 75 watts. I’ve used it a few times since buying it and they’ve worked fine but today I powered it on and the front left speaker wasn’t identified. Ran the calibration and it didn’t identify it at all. Switched the speaker out of that channel in the back with the front right speaker and that wasn’t identified either when plugged in to the front left speaker channel input. That channel seems to have blown. I’ve had it 2 weeks and rarely used it. I’m just going to end up returning it tomorrow unless there’s another way to fix it? Please help!

Hey I've got Onkyo 9.2 channel receiver and I can't seem to get the hdmi arc to work with my lgc8 TV. I have an Amazon basics hdmi cable and it is supposed to be audio arc compatible. Not sure if you are familiar with any issues but would be grateful for any advice.

I hope you can help me, my Onkyo receiver got reinstalled after a move, plugged everything in and powered on and there was sound, changed the input from can/sat to DVD to watch a movie and the sound was gone. When I hit the info button the audio input/output is just blank no information displayed. Would you know how to fix this???

I have just bought an Onkyo 608 (i know quite old) not tech-savvy though. I have run the projector through the HDMI output (picture fine). I have a fire stick in one of the HDMI inputs but I get no sound. As before I'm not a guru when it comes to amps and inputs etc. Am I missing something really obvious? It never came with a calibration mic and i don't know what the previous owner had as settings. Anyone point me in the right direction?

hi, i have a question, i own the onkyo rz740, and have now upgraded to 5.1.4. in the setup menu i adjusted my loudspeakers, namely front high and rear high. the display only shows 7 speakers, the rear high speakers are missing. but in the quick menu i see input dts 5.1 output dts neural x 5.1.4 is there an error or is the receiver not able to show the rear speakers on the display, do you have any experience of what could be the problem? thanks for the reply

Hi..can you please do a review video of ONKYO TX ZR830?

[@TechnoDad]

Hi! That's a pretty pricey AVR. If they would send me one to review, I would gladly review it!

5:16 lmao, someone got yelled at. Check out the reflection

[@TechnoDad]

[@gamecity223]

Techno Dad haha sure sure

Can you still get Atmos effect on non Dolby Atmos video files? It gets to emulate it? I have wall mounted Dali alteco c-1 speakers just to the top left and right of my TV, just wondered how close to the ceiling they need to be to achieve the Atmos sounds? I'm kinda new to this stuff so sorry if my questions sound noobish

I'm looking to buy some speakers and a receiver, but the 2 rear speakers have a long-term limit of 50 watts, and the 2 front speakers 120 watts. Same goes for the rear being 4ohm, and the front 8 ohm. Can you configure this per-speaker? And set a limit to the amount of watts? Or will this make this receiver unsuitable for my speakers, as it's power output can be too high?

Hey Dad, I appreciate what you're doing here. Thank you! Got a question if I may. Onkyo TX NR 545. How to connect 4 "height" (atmos) speakers when there are only 2 height speaker terminals? I'm using banana connectors. Please don't say upgrade my receiver, I just bought it. It's all I can afford.

[@TechnoDad]

Hi Pete. Unfortunately, your avr will only process two height channels. To get four, you would need a different AVR, a 9 channel one. They get pretty pricey...

Sir,I got a question here does tv should support Dolby atoms and dts:x decoder ? Because I got Sony x8200e(in India )or x8002e
