Helpful video Fam, I just setting up my Onkyo TX-NR686 and I love it!
Thanks for posting this video, I found it very helpful. I have a problem with my TX-NR676 (2017 model). If you could help I'd appreciate it! I have a 5.1setup - speakers in the ceiling. The problem is that the speaker volume levels will not stay where I set them from one session to the next. You sort of covered this in your quickmenu segment. I typically use my mobile app to adjust the levels. I want to make my settings persistent. I have gone through the menus - quite similar to the example receiver, and somehow managed to make it so that I can no longer even set my subwoofer volume level. If I move the slider to any value, it resets itself to zero instantly. Again, any help would be sincerely appreciated.
Thank you, very nice vid! The sound level is quite low though. :)
Thank you for the video. I have a question:
I have connected to the Zone 2 output again 2 passive speakers. They run so far without problems. Can I also make a sound calibration for the Zone 2?
When is use my controller it changes to receiver screen but takes forever to change it on the TV creating a delay between the two that wont let you change anything.
I wish there had been audio explanations for every selection and slower movement from one option to the next. I had to keep rewinding. The video actually could have been longer. But, very useful information!
I performed calibration with Klipsch 7.1.2 and Onkyo tx-nr7100 9.2, but my Central Speaker with the Dolby Atoms setting is silent but the front sound is coming from the side front speakers. I can only hear the central channel when I switch the setting to 'All channel stereo'
Is anyone using this receiver with an amp? I’m using a tube amp ans have the cables hook up to the line 2 option in the back but I’m not getting any sound.
I lost the Setup Mic, i couldnot find it on your website, colud you please tell me where tio find it and please the model nummber of this mic so i could search for replacment
Can I select a default listening mode for each input type.
E. G. Play stereo mode when input is 2.0
Play Atmos mode when input is atmos
Play direct when input is 5.1 DD+
and so on
Should I have speaker virtualization on or off? I have a 7.2 system, no Dolby atmos height speakers
What cable and settings do you use to get this display up on your TV? Also….would a graphic equalizer be pointless adding to this sound setup - system?
Can u please show your connections cable and settings do you use to display on tv?
Thank you !!
If I got only 5 speakers and they are all output from ceiling, should I set up as 5.1 or 5.1.2?
Hi. I just bought a wirless subwoofer . May I know how can I connect to this amplifier?
In Onkyo Tx NR 636, the tone (bass,treble), are increased and decreased in two steps(+2,-2) and not in one(+1,-1) ?
Hi - this is new to us (the social media team), but unfortunately we cannot test it as we do not have a TX-NR638 available, sorry!
Hi, I only see this setup screen under bluetooth, if I change to TV, this setup screen does not show up on my TV (using ARC), is there something wrong with my nr686? Thanks
Hi there, I have a question regarding TX NR626. Can I output TV audio via bluetooth function of 626 to a bluetooth headset? Is blueooth for input only? (such as from a mp3 in my phone to 626's speakers?) Can I do the reverse? Sending audio signal from Onkyo to a bluetooth headset? Is there any way to do it? (using a separately bought bluetooth dongle connected to 626' usb port etc?) Thanks in advance.
Hi Ferhan, the bluetooth implementation supports Bluetooth as "input" only (e.g. streaming from tablet/notebook/smartphone to the AV receiver) - not for streaming from the AVR to a headset or speaker. You would need a 3rd party adapter, like a bluetooth adapter for headphone jacks.
@@OnkyoEU I appreciate a lot that we can communicate via UA-cam comments. Many thanks for doing this. No need to fill out lengthy forms, searching for the product serial number on dusty back panel. Meanwhile my „Onkyo TX-NR626 receiver (Unboxing and sound test)” video got almost 100K UA-cam views with more than 100 upvotes! I’m glad to help advertise this great product! (I’d be happy to review Onkyo products in case you have such an initiative :)
Thanks for the video.
I have had my '696 for a while now (got it last year some time) and recently the ARC and CEC stopped working with my TV. I have young kids so I assumed they just screwed around with something. Finally last night I got it working again after doing a factory reset of the receiver!
Now, something weird is happening. Whenever I go into the Initial Screen setup my TV goes black and does not show the menu. I have definitely seen it before but now for love or money I cannot get it to appear. I have tried with two different TVs and HDMI cables and I don't think these are the problem as things display fine until I go into this menu. The menu is operational as I can get it play the white noise by pressing random combinations of up and down and OK.
Anyway, I have set up everything using the display on the receiver and I am fine with my setup for now.
The problem I have is that I have not actually "finished" the Initial Setup (as I cannot see any of the prompts on the TV) so every time the receiver turns on it goes back into this and I have to press Return a few times on the receiver to get out of it. This is very annoying.
Please can you tell me the sequence of steps I need to do to quit out of this menu and never have it appear again. I have watched a few videos and think it starts with the language and then a screen where if I press down it will not do the setup again, but after this I am stuck.
Thanks
Did you find a resolution for this, we are having same issue
@@webmum1 Sorry not really. A short while later it just started to work and I was able to access the menu.
My husband ended up doing a factory reset and set up all over again and it’s working now.
I connected my television to a timer which recycles power every night. That seems to work around the ARC problem. I have a Samsung 4K TV.
I need help. I have a sony 900h hooked up to this receiver using the eARC input. I am using a 50’ long fiber optic HDMI. When i connect the HDMI direct from tv to My Apple tv 4k i get full specs. Like chroma 4:2:2and 4k dolby vision. But when i use the receiver tv/receivee/apple tv than i only receive Chroma 4:2:0 and 4k hdr. I have used 2 types of hdmi cables from apple tv to receiver. A 2’ long 2.1 8k hdmi cable and right now is hooked to a 1.5’ hdmi ultra high speed 8k cable. Please some help. What am i doing wrong? Is it the Receiver not capable of delivering full specs?
How do you get to the screen that you are on?
Having issues running 2 svs pb1000s. They worked great with old yamaha receiver but I needed 4k. Having issues with sound settings/lfe with the 686 and dual pb1000s. One subwoofer is sounding like a punching noise instead of deep base like on other receiver and I'm having issues with the other wanting to shut off.
switch the rca on back..im running 2 10s on a y cable on sw A..and a 12 on 2nd sub out..play with your hz and set all to 80hz
also play with the eq setings..mine sounded like crap now it shakes the room
@@WeenukChog blew a sub svs said warranty was out of range. they still honored and paid 25 bucks shipping and bingo
gotta love svs
@@shaneordean6224 did You solve they problem
Hi, I am very happy with this reciever. Only problem I have is that it doesn't remembers my setup. So I always have to adjust my bass and sub level because its set on full when turning the reciever on...
Then you change the settings in the Quick Menu. These will be set to 0 when I turn off. If you want to change them permanently, you have to do this in the setup menu.
@@OnkyoEU thx for the quick replay.
It worked. Also when I turn it off and on it remembered my new settings. That's really nice.
Can I set these settings also in the menu apart from quick settings?
just on the Front of the Receiver.
@@OnkyoEU What's the point of Quick Menu - so the setting is temporary ??
@@eddielimmy4150 for music
Is there a way to have the receiver default to the input digital source (i.e.Dolby Digital (plus)) but when a signal is put out in Dolby 2.0 to have it default to Dolby Surround, without having to do this manually?
please contact our Tech Support directly. I'm sure my colleagues can help you or answer your question.

How dp I pair the TX-NR686 with my android phone? My bluetooth option in the menu is ON and my phone shows the device but can't connect.
Any help you can give is much appreciated.
Thanks, Shushanto.
I am using this receiver with x-box one and my tv and atmos is working great. I've installed Tidal App on my smart TV (i have TIDAL HIFI PLUS account with dolby atmos tracks) and my receiver is detecting Dolby Atmos input format but my height speakers are not playing anymore. I don't know why. Can you help me with this?? The same receiver and speakers work fine with x-box connected.
Just to be clear: Speakers are connected fine. They are working when i make level calibration and they are working with xbox atmos. I have Tidal HIFI Plus account so it enables me dolby atmos tracks. My onkyo showing me dolby atmos when i'm playing track in this format but height speakers are not working. I have tried with many tracks (i know that some dolby atmos tracks don't use height speakers but i tried with some that i know that they are using height speakers).
is there any way to quickly adjust the levels of each speakers like in the quick menu (not just for the sub and center)? thanks
in normal setup and speakers. With a little practice an adjustment is very fast. BR, Marco
@@OnkyoEU the problem is it is very very noisy that way :/
@@OnkyoEU try doing that in the middle of the night with everyone sleeping dude - the level sound is enough to wake the dead. This is a bug.
why does it have very latent bluetooth? And also extremely slow to connect to spotify chromecast for some reason
Hi there, great video. Have 2 questions.
How do you select Zone 2 using the remote control (RC-911R)?
Also why does the ARC feature not always work properly with my Samsung 4K TV?
Thanks
Hi, to your questions:
#1: While holding down MODE (a) on the remote controller, press ZONE 2 (b) for 3 or more seconds until the remote indicator blinks twice. The remote controller switches to the mode for
controlling ZONE 2.
To return the remote controller to main room control mode: While holding down MODE (a) on the remote controller, press MAIN (c) for 3 seconds or more until the remote indicator flashes once.
#2: Maybe the colleagues from the customer care hotline have an idea - please do not hesitate to get in touch with them:
www.eu.onkyo.com/en/customer-care-hotline-42615.html
Thank you!
@@OnkyoEU thank you very much for your reply. The instructions worked perfectly.
I will contact your customer care team about the ARC query.
Keep up the great work.
Thanks
@@OnkyoEU As noted above, I recycle power to my Samsung 4K TV every night to work around the ARC problem.
Can you play just front speakers and sub while listening to music?
yes, that would work. BR, Marco
i am facing the problem for the onkyo receiver HT-R398 issue with initial setup - see tv error for my receiver. how i can solve this issue

why did you ship the crossover??? can we adjust crossover for each channel or its 1 crossover for all channels?
Hi, you can change have separate cross over settings for Front, Center, Height, Surround, Surround Back (each 40Hz to 200Hz) and LPF/LFE (80Hz to 120Hz). Thanks for asking!
ok Great, another question is this model or TX-NR787 display the format its playing like dtsx on allways display or its show only the input... ,, my last onkyo was display the input rather then the format and found this very annoying??
Hi, the AVR usually shows the selected input on the display. If you press the "i" key, detailed information about the format will be shown on your TV screen.
if i have my direct tv receiver plugged into the onkyo receiver via hdmi, connected to tv via ARC, do i need to use the direct tv controller or can i just use my phone onkyo app to control the direct tv receiver?
Hi, you will need to use your direct tv controller - the onkyo app does not know how to handle your direct tv receiver (most companies using proprietary control interfaces).
@@OnkyoEU so i would need to manually switch inputs from the onkyo app on my phone then use the direct tv controller?
@@thatsitdotcom Correct - you will need to use your direct tv controller after having switched inputs.
@@OnkyoEU I say Surround on the onkyo Receiver 5.1 Its higher quality and Better Quality with 1080p HD 30fps.
@@OnkyoEU and Digital input counts as well
Noticed a comment on here that we are also having the same issues. On screen menu not showing on tv any more, only the quick menu. Can anyone advise how to correct this please??
Press the Setup button on the receiver, not the remote.
What's the function of 2 hdmi outputs, It's only mirroring...

Still waiting TX-NR787
Hi Avroveks, we too ;-). Stay tuned, it will come... :)
What is the difference... just the extra 2 channels (9.2 where the 696 is a 7.2)?
Is there a way to add internet radio stations?

How do you seee that screen? Just got a series x and am trying to turn on the cec option. Cant figure it out.
Hi Zachary, depending on your model, just press the "Setup" Button on the remote. Make sure the TV is on the input to which the receiver is connected.
@@OnkyoEU i figured it out. Im surprised its working so well. I was bummed they took the ir blaster out but this actually works better.
I also am struggling to find this menu. For some reason the TV goes blank whenever I enter this menu. Every time the receiver turns on it goes into this Initial Setup mode and all I want to do is cancel it. I have done my setup using the display on the receiver.
Where is the option for dolby atmos and dts x upmixer? I cant find it
Not sure what the hell is wrong but I don’t use a TV, I have the HDMI out from my unit going to my projector. The readout on the receiver keeps telling me to “See TV” but apparently the receiver can’t feed the start up menu to the projector output. Makes no sense to me. If there’s an internal menu then it should be visible on whatever monitor type device I have connected to the HDMI out. Not seeing projector specific instructions in the manual.
Hi, typically there should not be any issues using a projector instead of TV. Please get in touch with our customer care team to find out what is wrong, e.g. via

Thank you!
you have to use hdmi poort (MAIN) ;-) hdmi Sub has no menu support
@@OnkyoEU Same issue with my antique but still great Pioneer Elite Pro-1150 HD. Any solutions for the projector?
I have the receiver set up on 5 ceiling speakers (two front and one mid are Legrand MS3650 3000 Series 6.5" 100 watt speakers and the 2 rears are Legrand wall speakers of the same wattage) and a MartinLogan Dynamo 700W 10" Subwoofer. Before setting up the subwoofer, the speakers sounded better without the subwoofer. I burned out two speakers raising the volume too high. I thought adding the subwoofer and having it fire the bass instead of the smaller speakers the system would sound better. It really doesn't though. I played a little with the hz and left the ceiling and wall speakers at 100hz. I played a little with the equalizer but, I ended up leaving everything not sounding as good as it did before adding the subwoofer. Do you have a equalizer and/or crossover recommendation for my set up?
