Question 1

Can you send 1 source to two output TVs?

Accepted Answer

Yes, this is one of the reasons I bought this receiver so i didn't have to have an external HDMI matrix selector like my old receiver.  It allows to show the one source to both my main 100" projector and the same picture to the TV in my bar.

Question 2

Does this receiver works with the sonos connect like the onkyo tx-nr 696?

Accepted Answer

From our Onkyo experts at ListenUp: Yes! This does work with Sonos. From Onkyo's site: WORKS WITH SONOS CERTIFIED
This receiver can join your existing Sonos Home Sound System, or be the start of a new one, just by pairing it with a Sonos Port.* This works with Sonos Certified AVR offers a best-in-class tie-in to the Sonos ecosystem, waking, changing inputs, and playing at the volume you want using the Sonos Volume-Pass Through feature from the Sonos app.

Question 3

Why do I need to turn the volume to almost 60/70 to get a decent sound, when the same Klipsch reference speakers  were much louder in my older receiv

Accepted Answer

Probably because you didn't calibrate either this AVR or your old AVR or both.  Unless you calibrate the AVR to a reference level, the actual heard volume will not correlate to the display.

To calibrate you can either use the auto cal feature with the included microphone or do it yourself with an SPL meter.  Once this is done, setting the volume level to 0 (relative mode) or 82 (absolute mode) (see page 117 of the manual) will theoretically get you the same volume that the sound engineers used when they mixed the movie.  This is known as "reference volume" and is normally much louder than most people would want.  At reference, the speakers will get a maximum if 105db peaks, and the sub will get a maximum 115db peak.

Question 4

I have 2 klipsch R28f speakers 150w continuous this ad says the reciever is 210w per channel and 100w ? will this work or damage the speakers ?

Accepted Answer

From our Onkyo experts at ListenUp: The Onkyo TX-NR6100 will work with your Klipsch R28F Speakers and will not damage them. We recommend setting up your speakers with the Setup microphone that comes with this receiver.
