Access streaming content from Amazon Music, Pandora, Spotify, TIDAL, Deezer and TuneIn and share sound as part of a multi-room system via Works with Sonos, Chromecast built-in, AirPlay 2, DTS Play-Fi and FlareConnect. Works with Sonos The TX-NR696 can join your existing Sonos Home Sound System or be the start of a new one, just by pairing it with a Sonos Connect. The AVR ties into the Sonos ecosystem, waking, changing inputs and playing at the desired volume on command from the Sonos app. Chromecast built-in with the Google Assistant Stream any music from your smartphone, laptop or PC to the receiver 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 smart speaker featuring the Google Assistant, you can cue, play and control music playback by voice. THX Certified Select theater-reference sound THX Certified Select guarantees the same reference volume and sound quality of at a commercial theater in rooms where the viewing position is about 10-12 ft. from the screen. To deliver THX reference movie sound, receivers must pass 2,000 bench-tests in 75 categories covering 14,000 data points. Dolby Atmos and DTS:X - setting sound free Dolby Atmos and DTS:X formats allow engineers to map sound anywhere in 3D space, effects moving from speaker to speaker all around the room and wrapping your audience in the latest films and games. You can also enjoy your 3D speaker layout with classic titles. Dolby Surround and DTS Neural:X find overhead cues in legacy soundtracks and upmix for awesome spatial realism. Dolby Atmos Height Virtualizer When playing any Dolby format, engaging Dolby Atmos Height Virtualizer enables a more immersive listening experience, creating a virtual surround and height effect from traditional speaker layouts without employing additional surround or height speakers. Flexible 3D sound with DTS Virtual:X DTS Virtual:X is a surround virtualization technology that creates an immersive 3D sound-field from horizontal speaker layouts without requiring height-speaker connection. It uses DSP algorithms to create a sense of 3D spatiality and is effective in rooms of any size and shape. DTS Virtual:X works with DTS:X, DTS formats and non-encoded stereo soundtracks. Dynamic Audio Amplification Refined over 70 years to deliver an emotional listening experience, DAA features a custom High-Current Low-Noise Power Transformer, customized capacitors and discrete amp output stage. Unique circuit topology prevents phase-shift for accurate sound, while high current improves speaker control for thrilling dynamics. Driving 4-ohm loads through all channels, DAA has power to move you. Key design enhancements improve sound While cosmetically familiar, the TX-NR696 has significant upgrades inside that control noise, boost driving power and improve S/N performance. A new HDMI board features larger, stronger, better-finished grounds and shortened signal paths for clean and accurate A/V signals. New SoC processor has its own board remote from audio signal-paths to reduce noise. Key aspects of the power-supply line have been strengthened and upgraded in pursuit of driving power, which you can hear in the blistering attack speed and force of the bass and in the clearer separation and localization of instruments across a large and spacious soundstage. Zone 2 outputs share audio flexibly Zone 2 outputs enable 7-ch surround in Main plus stereo speakers in Zone 2. Distribute different analog, NET, Bluetooth, SPDIF and HDMI audio sources in either or both zones at the same time (there's a Zone 2 DAC) just by switching to a 5.1-ch + Zone 2 layout. Output from Zone 2 and Zone 2 line-out is enabled. Quad-core SoC supports 802.11ac Wi-Fi A quad-core SoC (System on a Chip) has power to perform multiple processing tasks at once. It evolves network functions and supports the latest high-speed 802.11ac (2x2 MIMO) specification while compatible with 802.11b/g/n dual-band routers.
