Product Description
Product Description
Improve your home theater's performance with this receiver from Onkyo! Notable features include two component-video inputs, composite-to-S-video conversion, back-lit universal remote, and Onkyo's exclusive Optimum Gain Volume Circuitry. Of course it offers Dolby« Digital and DTS surround decoding, but you'll also love Dolby« Pro Logic II, which offers a whole new way to listen to music and movies.

Product Description:
This premium quality powerhouse might seem expensive - until you find out what's inside. It's endowed with a host of audiophile-pleasing features not found on many receivers, such as a high-end, equal power amplifier design, heavy-gauge internal wiring and bus bars, a thick copper absolute-ground plate that links the power supply to the output devices to provide extremely low ground impedance and higher instantaneous current capability, and the precision-engineered Optimum Gain Volume circuit that delivers an improved signal-to-noise ratio and better dynamic response. The TX-DS696 also gives you professional-quality component video switching, which, unlike many other component-video switches, has enough bandwidth to handle HDTV and progressive signals without losing image quality. Other rare features are Dolby Pro Logic II for quasi-5.1-channel sound from your stereo music recordings and Dolby Surround-encoded movie soundtracks, composite to S-video conversion to simplify video connection, A-Form to remember your source-mode settings, and powered Zone-2 capability - so you don't need an external amplifier to enjoy a different stereo source in another room. Top it off with a powerful backlit preprogrammed/learning remote, and you've got a centerpiece that's clearly a cut - or two - above all others in this category.

2 out of 5 stars Not all I expected.......2002-07-23

I bought this product about a year ago and have been nothing but disapointed. I had an older Onkyo receiver that I was absolutely delighted with and I wanted to move up to one with more features. Unfortunately, the older less powerful unit would have been the one to keep. The FM sound is horrible on the new unit. This unit is hardly used except for DVD and VCR movies. Save your money and go with a Yamaha or Denon.
