Dolby Atmos
®
 Multidimensional Sound
Onkyo is among the first to introduce Dolby Atmos sound 
to home cinemas. Dolby Atmos uses object-oriented mixing 
techniques to layer independent audio elements through 
discrete channels, placing and moving sound effects above 
and around the listener with astonishing realism. The format 
adapts to any home cinema layout augmented by two or 
more in-ceiling height speakers or Dolby Atmos-enabled 
front speakers to bring sound alive from all directions.
Future-Ready with the Latest HDMI
® 
Imagine playing the latest RPG blockbuster on your Ultra 
HDTV at a breathtaking 60 frames per second. Now add 
thunderous 7.2-channel surround sound from Onkyo. With 
HDMI terminals on your TX-NR636 receiver supporting 
4K/60 Hz, this dream can be your reality. Even if you’re not 
planning on upgrading your current display right away, it’s 
good to know your receiver is ready for the future.
Supports HDCP 2.2 for 4K Streaming and TV
With Hollywood studios, satellite TV broadcasters, and video 
streaming services announcing a move to HDCP 2.2 copy 
protection for future 4K and Full HD releases, it’s important 
that your A/V receiver can handle this new standard.  The 
TX-NR636 is one of the first A/V receivers to support 
HDCP 2.2, making it ready for next-generation Ultra HD 
streaming and broadcasting.
4K Video Upscaling with Qdeo
 Technology
The TX-NR636 features Qdeo
 technology from Marvell to 
upscale low-res video to liquid-smooth 1080p (for HDTV) 
and 4K (3840 x 2160 pixels) with a compatible display. This 
means video from older gaming consoles and DVD players 
looks clean and sharp, giving old favorites a new lease on life.
Wi-Fi
®
 and Bluetooth Inside 
The TX-NR636 has Wi-Fi and Bluetooth technology built in. 
Complete the setup, download our control app, and you’ve 
got a graphic remote control and range of streaming features 
in the palm of your hand. Or pair your Bluetooth-capable 
device and stream almost any audio to your home cinema. 
With Advanced Music Optimizer enhancement, music via 
Bluetooth has never sounded so good.
Stream Direct from Smartphone and Tablet
For lossless audio streaming, just tap on the Onkyo Remote 
App icon on your smartphone to find your music loaded 
and ready to stream with all the controls you’re used to. The 
receiver can switch on and select your preferred playback 
mode automatically.
Stream Network-Attached Hi-res Audio
Onkyo A/V receivers are engineered for universal hi-res 
compatibility and ease of use. Use the remote app to locate 
your 192/24 and 96/24 albums (including 5.6 MHz DSD 
playback) on PC or NAS and bask in the clarity, depth, and 
detail of high-resolution music.
Built-in Internet Radio and Streaming
If you can think of it, you’ll most likely be able to stream it. 
The receiver includes Spotify, AUPEO!, TuneIn, and now 
Deezer, the music subscription service available in over 200 
countries and boasting a library of 30 million songs. You can 
search for available music using your free Onkyo remote app.
Play Lossless Music from USB
The front-panel USB port also plays almost any audio format 
from mass-storage-class drives. As well as compressed files, 
there’s support for FLAC, WAV, ALAC, Dolby
®
 TrueHD   
(48 kHz), and DSD. You can also connect a PC, smartphone, or 
music player using one of the many digital and analog inputs.
Engineered for High Fidelity
WRAT (Wide Range Amplifier Technology) is all about 
high current. You need it to stay in control when speaker 
impedance fluctuates, and to grip without clipping as the 
soundtrack explodes into action. We use a massive high-
power transformer driving ultra-low-distortion Three-Stage 
Inverted Darlington Circuitry
*
. Combined with high-resolution 
processing, the TX-NR636 packs a colossal punch for movies 
while retaining musicality for two-channel playback. 
* Front and center channels only.
MHL
 for Mobile Device Connection
An HDMI/MHL terminal is included to connect smartphones 
and other electronic devices, allowing you to display 1080p 
video and other media on your HDTV with 7.1 channels of 
surround sound.

 IIz Seven-Channel Surround 
Upmixing
Dolby
®
 Pro Logic

 IIz adds height to the soundstage with 
two Front Height channels immersing you deeper into 
the film. The system upmixes stereo or 5.1 sources to 7.1 
channels, and offers a number of optimized listening modes. 
Powered Multi-Zone Audio and Bi-Amping
Powered Zone 2 speaker terminals (and a Zone 2 line-out) 
let you power audio in another room equipped with stereo 
speakers. You can also assign surround back channels to bi-
amp your front loudspeakers. 
Fast Switching and Adjustment
If you want to quickly adjust a speaker level, switch DSP 
modes, or change inputs, the “Q” remote control button 
does it in seconds by overlaying a simple transparent menu 
on screen. Use InstaPrevue
 technology to preview content 
playing on any HDMI-connected component—the overlaid 
video thumbnails are great for keeping an eye on a cable 
channel while you’re watching a Blu-ray, for example, and also 
make video switching very clear and simple.
AccuEQ Room Calibration
AccuEQ optimizes surround-sound and two-channel audio 
to suit your listening space. In particular, AccuEQ extracts 
the best possible performance from your front speakers 
to make stereo listening more dynamic and exciting. The 
system analyzes speaker setup and room acoustics from one 
listening position (which simplifies the calibration process) 
and optimizes frequency response and output levels for 
maximum clarity.
