Dolby Atmos® Multidimensional Sound
Onkyo is among the first to introduce Dolby Atmos sound to home cinemas. Dolby Atmos uses object-oriented mixing techniques to layer independent audio elements through discrete channels, placing and moving sound effects above and around the listener with astonishing realism. The format adapts to any home cinema layout augmented by two or more in-ceiling height speakers or Dolby Atmos-enabled front speakers to bring sound alive from all directions.
Future-Ready with the Latest HDMI®
Imagine playing the latest RPG blockbuster on your Ultra HDTV at a breathtaking 60 frames per second. Now add thunderous 7.2-channel surround sound from Onkyo. With HDMI terminals on your TX-NR636 receiver supporting 4K/60 Hz, this dream can be your reality. Even if you’re not planning on upgrading your current display right away, it’s good to know your receiver is ready for the future.
Supports HDCP 2.2 for 4K Streaming and TV
With Hollywood studios, satellite TV broadcasters, and video streaming services announcing a move to HDCP 2.2 copy protection for future 4K and Full HD releases, it’s important that your A/V receiver can handle this new standard. The TX-NR636 is one of the first A/V receivers to support HDCP 2.2, making it ready for next-generation Ultra HD streaming and broadcasting.
4K Video Upscaling with Qdeo™ Technology
The TX-NR636 features Qdeo™ technology from Marvell to upscale low-res video to liquid-smooth 1080p (for HDTV) and 4K (3840 x 2160 pixels) with a compatible display. This means video from older gaming consoles and DVD players looks clean and sharp, giving old favorites a new lease on life.
Wi-Fi® and Bluetooth Inside
The TX-NR636 has Wi-Fi and Bluetooth technology built in. Complete the setup, download our control app, and you’ve got a graphic remote control and range of streaming features in the palm of your hand. Or pair your Bluetooth-capable device and stream almost any audio to your home cinema. With Advanced Music Optimizer enhancement, music via Bluetooth has never sounded so good.
Stream Direct from Smartphone and Tablet
For lossless audio streaming, just tap on the Onkyo Remote App icon on your smartphone to find your music loaded and ready to stream with all the controls you’re used to. The receiver can switch on and select your preferred playback mode automatically.
Stream Network-Attached Hi-res Audio
Onkyo A/V receivers are engineered for universal hi-res compatibility and ease of use. Use the remote app to locate your 192/24 and 96/24 albums (including 5.6 MHz DSD playback) on PC or NAS and bask in the clarity, depth, and detail of high-resolution music.
Built-in Internet Radio and Streaming
If you can think of it, you’ll most likely be able to stream it. The receiver includes Spotify, AUPEO!, TuneIn, and now Deezer, the music subscription service available in over 200 countries and boasting a library of 30 million songs. You can search for available music using your free Onkyo remote app.
Play Lossless Music from USB
The front-panel USB port also plays almost any audio format from mass-storage-class drives. As well as compressed files, there’s support for FLAC, WAV, ALAC, Dolby® TrueHD (48 kHz), and DSD. You can also connect a PC, smartphone, or music player using one of the many digital and analog inputs.
Engineered for High Fidelity
WRAT (Wide Range Amplifier Technology) is all about high current. You need it to stay in control when speaker impedance fluctuates, and to grip without clipping as the soundtrack explodes into action. We use a massive high-power transformer driving ultra-low-distortion Three-Stage Inverted Darlington Circuitry*. Combined with high-resolution processing, the TX-NR636 packs a colossal punch for movies while retaining musicality for two-channel playback.
* Front and center channels only.
MHL™ for Mobile Device Connection
An HDMI/MHL terminal is included to connect smartphones and other electronic devices, allowing you to display 1080p video and other media on your HDTV with 7.1 channels of surround sound.
Dolby® Pro Logic® IIz Seven-Channel Surround Upmixing
Dolby® Pro Logic® IIz adds height to the soundstage with two Front Height channels immersing you deeper into the film. The system upmixes stereo or 5.1 sources to 7.1 channels, and offers a number of optimized listening modes.
Powered Multi-Zone Audio and Bi-Amping
Powered Zone 2 speaker terminals (and a Zone 2 line-out) let you power audio in another room equipped with stereo speakers. You can also assign surround back channels to bi-amp your front loudspeakers.
Fast Switching and Adjustment
If you want to quickly adjust a speaker level, switch DSP modes, or change inputs, the “Q” remote control button does it in seconds by overlaying a simple transparent menu on screen. Use InstaPrevue™ technology to preview content playing on any HDMI-connected component—the overlaid video thumbnails are great for keeping an eye on a cable channel while you’re watching a Blu-ray, for example, and also make video switching very clear and simple.
AccuEQ Room Calibration
AccuEQ optimizes surround-sound and two-channel audio to suit your listening space. In particular, AccuEQ extracts the best possible performance from your front speakers to make stereo listening more dynamic and exciting. The system analyzes speaker setup and room acoustics from one listening position (which simplifies the calibration process) and optimizes frequency response and output levels for maximum clarity.
