I am not and audio engender by no means, but I have DJ'ed in night clubs (electronic music), I have a production studio with studio monitors and professional gear. Take it for what you will, I like nice qaulity products and performance. With that said, obviously this is not your $3,000+ receiver. However, I run this with two (2) JBL ES30s left and right, one (1) ES35 Center - I think that is the model number, two (2) ES20s back left and right, and the JBL ES80 10inch Sub - again I think that is the model - sorry I will update correct model and pics. What I am getting at, is the receiver runs those speakers extremely well. Yes I have used other nice reviewers such as pioneer. But, I also run this to a BenQ Short Throw 1080 projector and gaming device. This receiver automatically picks everything up with no splitter. The output is excellent for both V&A, I have been amazed each day. I feel like it gets better as if it learns you!! Sounds weird, but true. I finagled with the speaker settings (easy process) adjusted to my likings with receiver (again easy to do). Well easy if you have some advance general idea about technology. The wifi and Bluetooth features work effortlessly and sound amazing. There is a controller application which works great as well. I could sit here and tell you more, but I have a hard time believing that here is a better receiver with so many options that performs as EXCELLENT as this one - this applies too both audio and visuals. My speakers bump - and sound superb. I have no reason to spend more money at this point. One last thing I really love about this receiver, not only did it sync all my gear, I only have to use the Onkyo controller, it pics everything up my channel, even controlling the cable tv box, on demand, etc. ok coming to a close. I give this 5 stars. For those that have bashed the product, I guess you got a defective product.... That can happen in the world of purchasing or you got a s***ty vendor. Hope this helps someone out there juggling that 3 process of elemination. Just buy this item and you will see. It's a good upper midrange product. Again, I feel I have a solid setup and this just really helped me too stop spending more money!!! SATISFIED!!! Review: Great Receiver with 4k compatibility- even into the future BUT..... - A high end, good looking and good sounding receiver at a mid-price. But it comes with NO REMOTE! I finally determined thAt Onkyo advises you to download their remote app. Okay, I have two tablets, however neither my Nexus 7 (2nd gen) nor my iPad Air will act as such a remote. For my Android, the apparently Onkyo official app doesn't control this unit. In shopping for an iPad application, there is no apparent application. The free one which does not appear to be sponsored by Onkyo, states that a future version should control the NR636. The $15 version was tested on an earlier version. Therefore, Onkyo sold this unit for over a year with no apparent app and with no remote. FYI the rhapsody remote is no help in this regard. It doesn't have buttons for the functions you need. It will however operate the Onkyo for a visual remote, turning it on and off and selecting tha right input for your Directv/cable, smart TV apps and FM radio. For FM it will essentially just turn it on and switch to FM. I just hope you listen to one station. Bottom Line: Onkyo has a lot of nerve in marketing this receiver without a remote and without a rock solid manufacturers app in place. What were they thinking? Despite the above, I was particularly impressed by the fact that it is one of the only/few receivers to be two standards up when it comes to 4k Ultra HD TVs. In this regard, it already has the latest HDMI connections which allow for support of 4K TVs at 60Hz and 21:9 format, but it also is HDCP 2.2 copy-protection compatible. As I understand it, other 4k compatible receivers use HDCP 2.0 for their next level of compatability but not HDCP 2.2. This is important because it is not expected that the present connections will be useable with 4k TV in the near future and the 2.0 standard is supposed to have a short shelf life because the far superior 2.2 standard already has copy protection support. Therefore, when the 2.2 DVDs arrive (or some other storage means) which have super protection against copying "perfect" quality DVDs, only the 2.2 receivers will function and the older receivers will be of no use. This is projected based upon the fact that 2.2 compatibility is not a firmware upgrade, it is a hardware upgrade that will not have some form of adapter to use old connections. I assume this would be analogous to computer motherboards where the cpu socket changes and your high end motherboard becomes a throw away if you want to upgrade to a new cpu which is physically incompatible. There are some assumptions in this review but they are logical and likely correct so why not protect your investment. Very few other parts ot a receiver have changed over the recent years that affect sound or video (other than HDMI which can still be bypassed); so you should not throw away your money when an upgrade will render your "processing unit" obsolete. ## Features - The TX-NR636 doubles the power with two 32-bit processing engines decoding multichannel studio-resolution soundtracks along with a huge variety of HD audio files, including 5 6 MHz DSD (the same format used for Super Audio CD) - AccuEQ simplifies the initial home theater setup process and makes both surround sound and two-channel audio more cohesive and realistic in your listening space ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00IQ0SE22 | | Audio Encoding | Surround | | Audio Output Mode | Surround | | Audio Output Type | Speakers | | Best Sellers Rank | #555,334 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #512 in Audio Component Receivers | | Brand | Onkyo | | Color | black | | Compatible Devices | Personal Computer, Speaker, Smartphone | | Connectivity Technology | Bluetooth, HDMI , Wi-Fi | | Connector Type | HDMI | | Control Method | App | | Controller Type | Android, iOS | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 out of 5 stars 418 Reviews | | Format | WAV, WMA | | Item Weight | 22 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Onkyo | | Mfr Part Number | TX-NR636 | | Model Number | TX-NR636 | | Number of Channels | 2 | | Other Special Features of the Product | Equalizer | | Output Power | 165 Watts | | Output Wattage | 165 Watts | | Special Feature | Equalizer | | Supported Internet Services | AUPEO, Internet Radio, Pandora, SiriusXM, Spotify, TuneIn | | Surround Sound Channel Configuration | 2 Channel | | Total HDMI Ports | 7 | | Total Number of HDMI Ports | 7 | | UPC | 700315901794 751398011597 | | Video Encoding | H.264, H.265/HEVC | | Wattage | 165 watts | | Wireless Technology | Bluetooth, Wi-Fi | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Onkyo - **Connectivity Technology:** Bluetooth, HDMI, Wi-Fi - **Controller Type:** Android, iOS - **Special Feature:** Equalizer - **Compatible Devices:** Personal Computer, Speaker, Smartphone - **Total HDMI Ports:** 7 - **Connector Type:** HDMI - **Audio Encoding:** Surround - **Audio Output Mode:** Surround - **Surround Sound Channel Configuration:** 2 Channel ## Images ![TX-NR636 7.2-Ch Dolby Atmos Ready Network A/V Receiver w/HDMI 2.0 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/810YV2CESWL.jpg) ![TX-NR636 7.2-Ch Dolby Atmos Ready Network A/V Receiver w/HDMI 2.0 - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91ucog3Fx4L.jpg) ![TX-NR636 7.2-Ch Dolby Atmos Ready Network A/V Receiver w/HDMI 2.0 - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81dYisNdJhL.jpg) ![TX-NR636 7.2-Ch Dolby Atmos Ready Network A/V Receiver w/HDMI 2.0 - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/3158in787QL.jpg) ![TX-NR636 7.2-Ch Dolby Atmos Ready Network A/V Receiver w/HDMI 2.0 - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81uRM7xJtnL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does zone 2 support digital input as well as analog? I ask because my current Onkyo receiver does not support digital input for zone 2.** A: Hello Las Vegas; the TX-NR 636 will only support analog audio connections for ZONE 2 broadcasting; along with USB, NET, AM/FM radio, and Bluetooth support for ZONE 2 playback. We also would like to inform you that we do provide 24 hour Product Support at (800) 229-1687 and also have a FAQ and Product Support forum as well at forums@onkyousa.com to better assist you as well. We thank you for your posting and also for choosing Onkyo. **Q: Does the TX-NR636 support Apple AirPlay?** A: Currently (May 2014) the Onkyos don't do Airplay natively in the receiver. Maybe it will be fixed with a firmware update? This is a bizarre "un-feature", since just about every other AV 2013/2014 receiver in the market at these prices does have AirPlay. After some googling... There is an accessory called the Onkyo DS-A5, that will "add" AirPlay to this receiver, but it is an absolutely pointless device, and is now no longer sold. It is a RRP $199 unit that has Ethernet and WiFi (for AirPlay) and an old iPod port (not Lightning). Output is via digital Toslink and analogue - no special dock to the receiver. If you want AirPlay and want an Onkyo, get the AppleTV. It's under $100 and does video as well as audio. And Netflix and lots of other things besides. **Q: How is the heat? Does the unit get pretty hot as compared to previous models of Onkyo AVR's?** A: Our receivers do tend to run about 80 degrees above ambient room temperature, this is normal. If you install the apparatus in a built-in installation, such as a bookcase or rack, ensure that there is adequate ventilation. Leave 20 cm (8") of free space at the top and sides and 10 cm (4") at the rear. The rear edge of the shelf or board above the apparatus shall be set 10 cm (4") away from the rear panel or wall, creating a flue-like gap for warm air to escape. Please make sure that when you turn off the main receiver that you also turn off the Zone 2 because if you don't turn off Zone2 (if your receiver has this feature) then the receiver will continue to run and will produce heat. There is an internet dealer selling cooling fans that can be used with our receivers www.coolerguys.com. **Q: Hay thanks the help, what wall sould I mount my dolby atmos speakers on front or back? thanks** A: Better follow the setting recommended by Dolby and Onkyo. Because Onkyo 636 only can support up to 5.2.2 Atmos or 7.2 for legacy setup. The best location you can try, first move 2 surround back speakers to ceiling in the middle, , second , ceiling front , ceiling back. If you cannot mount on the ceiling, you can Atmos enabled upfiring speakers to echo off from your ceiling which is compromised plan. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I like nice qaulity products and performance *by G***O on December 24, 2015* I purchased and received the Onkyo TX-NR636 approximately 3 weeks ago.

The old Onkyo was still working, but it had no HDMI ports, and with the purchase of a new Apple TV2 we finally reached the point in which HDMI ports became a necessity. The TX-NR636 has a generous set of HDMI ports and overall was very easy to connect to my existing system. Sound calibration was a snap. Only two issues resulted in four stars instead of five: 1. Although the receiver has connections for older, non-HDMI devices, we discovered that the receiver could not convert its HDMI input to communicate with our old SONY plasma TV through a component connection. This was not mentioned in the product description. We ultimately decided to replace the old SONY TV with another newer TV in the house that did support HDMI, but this resulted in a delay in setup and if we hadn't had another TV, we would either have had to return the receiver or buy a new TV. 2. 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. I highly recommend that Onkyo spend time improving the app, though. It took a while to get it to connect to our receiver, and while it is good at turning the receiver on and off, switching between inputs, and managing volume, it doesn't do a good job with emulating the remotes of devices connected to the receiver. I trained the Onkyo IR remote to work with my TV and BlueRay player, and the IR remote can turn the TV on and off, but the app cannot do this. Fixing this would be high on my list. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/1148631-tx-nr636-7-2-ch-dolby-atmos-ready-network-v](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/1148631-tx-nr636-7-2-ch-dolby-atmos-ready-network-v) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-25*
