Product details

As a harmonious blend of technology and tradition, the TX-NR696 adapts to your entertainment life and captures the emotions in every sound source, whether it's music from 3D movies or vinyl recordings. The next-generation network audio utilizes Chromecast built-in, is compatible with Sonos, AirPlay 2, and DTS Play-Fi, and offers streaming services for seamless multi-room audio thanks to support for the new high-speed 802.11ac (2x2 MIMO) Wi-Fi specification.

Dolby Atmos and DTS:X immerse the audience deeply in movies and games, while THX Certified Select ensures a cinema-like experience. If a 5.2.2 channel setup is not possible, Dolby Atmos Height Virtualizer and DTS Virtual:X can create a 3D sound field with a horizontal speaker arrangement. Zone 2 outputs bring amplified sound from multiple sources into two rooms, while a flexible New Zone Line-Out/Front L/R preamp connection allows you to enjoy the sounds however and wherever you like. With a newly revitalized DAA system, 4K/60p/HDR HDMI connections, and many extras, this product impresses in every way.

In Verbindung mit dem Fernseher, fünf bis sieben Lautsprechern und einem oder zwei Subwoofern für tiefe Bässe sorgen sie beim Filmgucken für ein Klangspektakel wie im Kino. Im Hintergrund stürzt ein Hochhaus ein, vorne rast ein Auto vorbei: Durch solche Klangeindrücke fühlt sich der Zuschauer, als wäre er mittendrin...
