The item is THX certified. The error should have been corrected within the next few days. Pre-out's are preamplifier outputs, i.e. you can connect individual power amplifiers to expand the system, this is needed if the amplifier power of the receiver is too weak.

Sorry for the English. Yes you can connect bi-amp. I have the Yamaha NS555 which support bi amp and you connect the low freq to the normal front and the high freq to the "Height" output (has bi-amp written on it). You can see a schema on page 30 of the file TX-NR696_En_2022-11-02-192920_laoa.pdf (just Google it) You then need to enable the bi-amp from the TX-NR696 menu

Yes you can. I have just checked the setup. Operating with 2 channels is possible. Have fun with it.
I couldn't answer whether Activities work, but I would recommend this Onkyo receiver, it is much better than the already very old TX-NR696 model. It also has 3 x 8K inputs, it costs a little more, but the equipment is much more extensive and the HDMI 2.1 interfaces are more future-proof. Onkyo TX-NR6100 (7.2 channel, FM, DAB+)
I have the av receiver as a 'central' one, which gives no or fewer problems. There are enough inputs. And this onkyo supports chronos by default, which is done via the menu. Chromecast is also built-in, but only sound. No picture?! The tongle then provides the remedy - gruz
What about long-term warranty claims and spare parts supply now that Onkyo has filed for bankruptcy?
The brand lives on and the warranty will certainly continue. I would take out the extended warranty to 5 years when I buy it, because the receiver is a very good model and if that were to be the case, Digitec would step in. As far as firmware updates are concerned, that is of course impossible to judge at the moment, and neither are spare parts, but as I said, it is a very good receiver and with an extended warranty you are very well covered. The company is not bankrupt, but in insolvency. That doesn't mean the end, it just means that debt will be rescheduled and, of course, costs will be reduced, which is certainly part of Onkyo's plan.
The best way to find out (because it's the quickest way) is to contact customer service: https://helpcenter.digitec.ch/hc/de/requests/new LG
No, it does not have DAB integrated (but you can certainly connect a corresponding device), but it does have USB (2.1), see specs here: https://eu.onkyo.com/de-AT/audio-hifi/amplifiers-receivers/av-receiver/tx-nr696/p/243982 LG
That may be the case with the insolvency, by the way, already in 2020, but there is nothing to stop us from making a good deal now. The products are absolutely top quality. Moreover, the shop was bought by Sharp and it is not yet certain whether Onkyo will disappear completely.

Yes, a phono input is available.
According to the operating instructions, this is the remote control: https://www.fernbedienung.com/hersteller/47-onkyo/978-rc-972r-onkyo-fernbedienung Unfortunately, I could not find any information about programmability among these details - I therefore assume that it is not programmable. 😥
To me, it just seems to be the same volume and the 0-100 indication stays at the level you set before. You have to turn it down or up depending on the station. I use the Onkyo device with a UPC TV box.
I have connected my speakers via Surround BackZone 2 BiAmp (this is the group on the far right). In the main menu, the speaker configuration is 5.1.2.ch. In the kitchen, I switch on the remote control via the Quick Menu. In the kitchen, I switch on the remote control via the Quick Menu. Go down to Audio, then Enter, then down to Zone B and then select whether Zone B is off or whether A and B are on. I do not succeed in having sound only in the kitchen. rolandbaer@swissonline.ch

This is the only thing I found, and I remember it from earlier amplifiers... from the Onkyo FAQ: I am using an Onkyo AV receiver with a satellite subwoofer system. In "Pure Audio Mode" the system sounds very thin - the bass is missing. What could be the reason for this? The "Pure Audio Mode" is a special operating mode in which the highest value is placed on unadulterated sound through the front speakers. In this mode, the "DSP" (Digital Sound Processor) is switched off and the full frequency range is routed to the front speakers on the left and right. It is not possible to separate the bass part by the bass management. Therefore, the subwoofer pre-out also remains muted in this operating mode. If you use small satellite speakers, you should use the operating mode "Stereo" instead of "Pure Audio". ... so probably rather a pity in your case. Sorry :)
Unfortunately I don't know either because I only have 1 station on the radio and that is on ukw.

Hello, it is sufficient to connect an HDMI cable (video+audio) to the AVR. You can switch off the TV. If you want to connect both, see Sony manual page 14.

You can name it yourself. For example, Tv Reciver or whatever.
Yes, the amp can be used without an active subwoofer. Simply connect the subwoofer amplifier you already have to the "Subwoofer Pre-Amp" cinch connector on the Onkyo receiver.
