    I am getting Pioneer Elite atmos speakers front mains have 2 terminal connections one for height and one for the front firing speakers, how do I connect these, the L/R don't show "height" on the back of receiver and I also have the Pioneer Elite matching surrounds with 2 sets of terminals one for height then L/R front firing. So basically what I'm asking is there a way to connect all 4 "height" speakers? Will this receiver work or do I need to return it and get a different one?

    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..

    I have an issue with my TX-NR676 not displaying the “On Screen Display” to my JVC-DLA-VS2100. I have a HDMI coming from the Main HDMI output of the Onkyo to the HDMI 1 Input of the JVC projector. Normal video signal from a Blu-ray or any other source work just fine. Any thoughts?

    I have a question that it’s not related to Onkyo , but didn’t find a better place to ask .
    I have denon 4310ci which is an old but beast amp (to me ) , I picked denon x4400H recently and hooked it up , I feel my 4310 has more power I can sense that in my rf82ii and rc62 , the reason for picking up this receiver was 4K pass through and WiFi/Bluetooth capability oh and Atmos in future of course , question is , can I hook up both denons and somehow use the power of the 4310ci and tech of the 4400h ?
    Or what’s the suggestion on having these two Ave receivers and putting both to work cuz I won’t get rid of that 4310 , I still love it after nearly a decade
    Thanks.

    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'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!

But it does have two I can use it to add an amplifier to the main room and set Zone 2 for the mains speakers or am I stuck? Thanks for your help.

  • @AbdurR23
    @AbdurR23 Před 4 lety

    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!

    i have KRK speakers which operate only off of RCA. i can use them through the zone 2 output but cant use the remote control to control volume. its a bummer cause i bought the receiver for the convenience. whats the name of the input youre using to plug in the main speakers? do you know if there is a RCA < _____ adapter that exists? if i cant use the remote control i may just return the receiver which id hate to do as its a nice piece.

    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?

    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.

    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?

    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!

      @@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.

      @cup_and_cone Před 5 lety

      @@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.

    Getting no pictures on my Onkyo receiver, connecting ARC to ARC on TV. Thinking it might be the HDMI cable that's not HDCP 2.2? What cables do you use with your devices? Any problems on your side connecting devices to the Receiver.
    I have a HT-S7805, and rear looks exactly like the one in your video.

      @TechnoDad  Před 6 lety +2

      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.

    Changing the audio settings on the reciever only yields Dolby surround, DTX Neural and DD+

    • @TechnoDad
      @TechnoDad  Před 3 lety

      Hi Zac! So after looking at it, you are supposed to run a 3.1.2 Atmos setup or a standard 5.1. So there should be a menu option where you select either surrounds or heights.

    hi thanks for showing this. You mentioned you are a Denon fan so how does it compare to Denon AVR series e.g. 2400? The main difference I can see is lack of 4k upscaling in Onkyo vs Denon.

    As side note to my earlier comment what receiver would you recommend that is THX certified and that is 4 ohm capable? and is THX certification worth the extra money ? when looking at a receiver series verses what the Onkyo has to offer at that price point? I know this a loaded question im trying to decide if the features are worth the money. I am eyeing the tx-nr686 ??

    • @TechnoDad
      @TechnoDad  Před 6 lety +2

      Hi! I think Onkyo has THX certified AVRs, but I'm not sure if that's a big deal these days. I might be inclined to get an AVR with pre-outs and then buy amps that have THX certification like the Parasound Halo series. But then again, I'm not sure that really matters.

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?

    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
      @TechnoDad  Před 6 lety +1

      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!
