Onkyo unveils two midrange A/V receivers in the TX-NR676 and TX-NR575

By Kris Wouk Published March 28, 2017

Onkyo this week announced a new entry-level receiver that offers a decent upgrade from a soundbar without the cost associated with higher-end systems. On Tuesday, the company followed up that announcement with the unveiling of two new midrange 7.2-channel A/V receivers, the TX-NR676 and TX-NR575.

The receivers are very similar to each other, with wattage and the number of inputs and outputs being the main difference. The TX-NR575 features six HDMI inputs, while the TX-NR676 has seven, with six in the rear and one upfront. This model also has two HDMI outputs that are capable of displaying on a TV and a projector simultaneously.

Both the TX-NR676 and TX-NR575 feature support for Dolby Atmos and Dolby DTS:X object-based surround sound. And both also support 4K Ultra HD passthrough, including High Dynamic Range (HDR) in both the Dolby Vision and HDR10 formats. The two receivers also feature AccuEQ Room Acoustic Calibration with AccuReflex for easy setup, even for object-based surround sound.

In addition to Bluetooth and AirPlay, each receiver features FireConnect wireless multiroom audio, which works with a number of products, including wireless speakers. Streaming is easy thanks to Chromecast, with support for Spotify Connect, Pandora, Tidal, Deezer, and more. Finally, high-resolution audio is supported in both PCM up to 192 kHz/24-bit and DSD 5.6 MHz/2.8 MHz formats.

The new receivers weren’t the only announcement by the company, which also provided good news for those who bought an Onkyo receiver last year. The company revealed that support for Dolby Vision HDR will be coming to select 2016 A/V receivers, including the TX-NR555 to the PR-RZ5100, via a firmware update later this year. Not every model that will get the update has been specified, but Onkyo says the update is coming to its 7, 9, and 11-channel receivers.

The TX-NR676 will retail for $650, while the TX-NR575 will sell for $550. Both receivers are expected to be available beginning in May. For more information on these and other Onkyo receivers, see the company’s website.

Get the original Sonos Arc soundbar while it’s $250 off

Sonos Arc Dolby Atmos Soundbar in white

A complete surround sound system is hard to beat, but the reality is that not all of us apartment dwellers and homeowners have the time, energy, and funds to put into wiring a full 5.1.4 Dolby Atmos configuration. Fortunately, soundbars like the Sonos Arc are able to deliver the kind of full-scale sound you’d expect from a bigger speaker setup, and you can say goodbye to all that pesky speaker wire, too!

For those unaware, the Sonos Arc Ultra was released just a few months ago, which means the original Sonos Arc soundbar is getting the sales treatment. Right now, when you purchase the Sonos Arc through Amazon, Best Buy, or B&H Photo-Video, you’ll only pay $650. The full MSRP on this model is $900.

If you want to make a huge splash for your first major purchase of the year, we're going to direct you to Amazon for one of the most anticipated TV deals. The 65-inch Sony Bravia XR A95L QD-OLED 4K TV, which originally sells for $3,500, is available with a 14% discount that drops its price to $2,998. It's still a pretty expensive screen, but the savings of $502 is huge for a popular TV that won't always go on sale. The Sony Bravia XR A95L QD-OLED 4K TV is our choice as the best overall TV in our roundup of the best TVs of 2024, with a perfect score of 5 out of 5 stars in our review.

Why you should buy the 65-inch Sony Bravia XR A95L QD-OLED 4K TV
It all starts with its cutting-edge QD-OLED technology, which combines the self-emissive pixels of OLED TVs with the quantum dots of QLED TVs for outstanding color accuracy and brightness, as well as excellent contrast and luminance. There's no need to choose between OLED TVs versus QLED TVs because the Sony Bravia XR A95L QD-OLED 4K TV offers the best of both worlds.
