THX

Certified Select

™

reference sound

THX Certified Select guarantees the high-volume sound

experienced at a commercial cinema in your home. To gain

certification, amplifiers must pass severe THX bench-tests

covering every aspect of audio performance. THX Certified

Select components suit rooms where screen-to-seat

viewing distance is about 3 meters and room volume around

57 cubic meters.

Dolby Atmos

and DTS:X

with upmixing solutions

Object-based audio lets sounds play independently through any

speaker, moving all around your audience so they feel 5.2.2-ch

Dolby Atmos or DTS:X soundtracks with natural conviction.

DTS Neural:X

and Dolby Surround upmixing solutions find

spatial cues in legacy multichannel soundtracks and upmix

them for 3D audio playback through your object-audio-ready

speaker system. Both solutions offer cross-compatible support

for common movie soundtracks, such as Dolby

Digital 5.1,

Dolby

TrueHD, and DTS-HD Master Audio

™

, so you can

enjoy more immersive 3D

sound from your movie library

as well as with supported video

streaming services.

Onkyo Controller app for easy multi-room

management

Onkyo Controller app collects streaming services

and network-attached audio into one intuitive

interface. Control playback, navigate internet

services, and distribute audio all over the home

with ease.

Chromecast built-in, now with the Google Assistant

Stream any music from your smartphone, laptop, or PC to

the TX-NR686 with ease. Control playback with Chromecast-

enabled apps you know and love from your iPhone, iPad,

Android

™

phone or tablet, Mac

or Windows

laptop, or

Chromebook

™

. If you have a speaker device featuring the

Google Assistant, such as the Onkyo Smart Speaker G3,

you can cue, play, and control music playback on your

TX-NR686 by voice.

so you can enjoy smooth streaming over AirPlay, the Spotify

app, and the local network. Bluetooth technology also provides

simple wireless streaming from music applications.

Amazon Music, TIDAL, Deezer, and TuneIn are baked into the

GUI, making it easy to select from music and radio programs

with Onkyo Controller.

FlareConnect

™

wireless multi-room audio

FlareConnect shares audio from network and external audio

input sources between compatible components. Enjoy

effortless multi-room playback of LP records, CDs, network

music services, and more with supported components and

speaker systems. Music selection, speaker grouping, and

playback management across the home are built into the

Onkyo Controller app.

Supports 4K HDR, BT.2020, 4K/60 Hz, and HDCP 2.2

Six rear HDMI

inputs support pass-through of 4K HDR in

HDR10, HLG, and Dolby Vision

™

formats. They handle the

BT.2020 4K Video Standard, 4K/60 Hz playback, and HDCP 2.2

for premium content. Front HDMI connects video cameras or

consoles, while rear Sub Out is ideal for connecting a projector.

Give life to sound with Dynamic Audio Amplification

High-current power is proven by an ability to drive four-ohm

speaker loads, which test the toughest multichannel amplifier.

Heaps of muscle means superior control for fast dynamics

and high energy. Non-phase-shift amps present a detailed and

cohesive audio image, while VLSC

™

eliminates high-frequency

distortion for ultimate clarity of sound.

Graphical User Interface with Easy Setup

With speakers and media players connected, plug in the

AccuEQ mic and let the receiver GUI guide you through

setup, from speaker calibration (including AccuReflex phase

correction for Dolby Atmos-enabled speakers) through to

network connection. The refined interface makes control

simple and enjoyable.

Powered Zone 2 and Zone 2 line-out

Powered Zone 2 speaker outputs let you send amplified audio

sources, including network, S/PDIF, and analog, to a pair of

speakers in another room. Line outputs can connect home

cinema sources to a separate hi-fi system. Manage playback

distribution with Onkyo Controller.
