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.
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.
