Features

AV receiver 7.2, power 7 x 165 W at 6 Ohms supports modern DTS: X and Dolby Atmos formats (up to 5.2.2 channels), and DTS Neural: X and Dolby Surround codecs are used to convert the sound of standard multi-channel formats to an object-oriented 3D sound.

Design and build

Onkyo TX-NR676 is equipped with a high-current power transformer. Its discrete amplifiers, capable of delivering high current, with a dynamic amplification system and technology that prevents phase displacement, provide a minimum of distortion, excellent transient characteristics and do not pass even in front of low-impedance dimensional flooring. The converter is a modern AK4458 DAC.

Connectivity

On the rear panel of the case there are six HDMI inputs with the ability to skip the signal in 4K resolution (60 Hz), supporting the BT.2020 standard and the HDCP 2.2 protocol. These inputs also accept the HDR10 and Dolby Vision formats (HDR version with dynamic metadata and 12-bit color depth). On the facade is another HDMI input that does not support HDR10, Dolby Vision and BT.2020. There is a pair of HDMI outputs, a LAN port, a set of digital inputs, connectors for an MM phono stage and a pair of subwoofers. You can connect speakers to the receiver using nine pairs of screw terminals.

Setup

The FireConnect technology built into the receiver is perfect for wireless multi-room installation and makes it possible to send high-quality audio from any source to any room where the speaker supporting this technology is located. The Onkyo Controller application allows you to group such speakers, for example, to play a specific track in each group, and can control the playback of music throughout the house.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • I like the ability to easily control content and volume of the second zone
  • It has almost every feature you could want, from AirPlay to easy zone 2 controls

Cons

  • The menu control isn’t perfect, you can get “lost in the weeds” on occasion
  • The only way to access the timer is through the main setup menu, and the timer is buried in the “Hardware” sub-menu
