What customers say about "Key Specs"
Onkyo TX-NR636 7.2-Ch Dolby Atmos Ready Network A/V Receiver w/ HDMI 2.0
  • The sound quality and channel separation are outstanding. It does everything! And very easy to set-up!
  • The power is rated 95 watts per channel and it seems to be about right.
  • It all comes down to clean sound at appropriate levels, and this will allow you to play things loud enough without distortion.
  • This is the third Onkyo receiver I have owned. I purchased it on the basis of the rock solid performance and dependability of the previous two I own, both of which still work flawlessly.
  • Its so loud it will run you outta the room. The speakers will start to break up and distort like crazy.
Onkyo TX-NR646 7.2-Channel Network A/V Receiver
  • Gets really loud and clear. Cant hear any distortion at high volume. It has very good channel separation.
  • The NR 646 has a rating of 0.08 at 100 Watts which compares well with other units in its price range.
  • The sound is awesome with no distortion. There is no real heat to speak of with previous Onkyo products.
  • The distortion at moderately loud volumes is wholly unacceptable.
  • Works great. More than adequate. I had to buy new receiver to accommodate my new 4K TV.

  • The iOS app for the receiver has been very handy. We have our equipment out of sight in a closet and so it would have been a hassle to use the IR remote control.

  • Excellent unit. Great app lets me play my music directly from my NAS. Excellent sound both music and for my home theater. Setup is a little complicated but really not bad.
  • The Android app itself consumes lots of data and power when streaming to it.

What customers say about "Connectivity"
Onkyo TX-NR636 7.2-Ch Dolby Atmos Ready Network A/V Receiver w/ HDMI 2.0
  • The sound is great compared to my old Sony. As of right now no problems with the HDMI outputs, but time will tell.
  • The connections in the back are separated enough to keep the cables comfortably apart.
  • This unit is the heart of my sound system, connecting various components to a central system.
  • It will not connect to wireless and when connected with a wired connection, cannot navigate to videos or audio that is not in a top level directory.
  • It can find and open connections to network connected PCs, but cannot see attached external drives.
Onkyo TX-NR646 7.2-Channel Network A/V Receiver
  • Also, the Bluetooth takes forever to connect, which was one of the main reasons I bought this.
  • Good receiver , simple connection process cables, easy handling, a bit simple application , excellent interaction with zone 2.
  • The Bluetooth does not work well. It worked on my old phone and would not connect to my new phone.
  • The only complaint is it wont connect with wifi. It does not see my wi-fi, I don’t know what to do with it.
  • Network card is defective. It would connect and lose connection after about 1 minute of play.
