A solid receiver value from Onyko
I’ve long admired Onkyo for their lineup of high-performance, high-value home theater receivers. In fact, the last receiver that I owned was an Onkyo and it performed beyond its price tag. I believe you can expect something similar from the feature-packed TX-NR6100, which offers THX certification, the latest video game processing technology, and some cool ways to listen to music.
The seven-channel TX-NR6100 is ideal for powering a 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos or DTS:X™ system.
Advanced video processing for movies and more
Onkyo equipped the TX-NR6100 with the latest video technology. Three of its six HDMI inputs support crisp 4K/120 video content — perfect for high-quality sources like a 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray player, an Apple TV, or your next-gen gaming system. (The other three inputs support 4K/60 video content.)
Play music from a slew of sources
The TX-NR6100 lets you stream tunes from your phone or tablet via Bluetooth, Apple AirPlay 2, or Chromecast built-in. You can also play your collection of digital music files over your Wi-Fi network, or use the built-in phono input for your turntable. You can even play high-resolution tracks from a USB drive.
