QuestionI've seen reports elsewhere of a privacy opt-out message which appears every time you power up the amp, unless you allow it to track your use. Can anyone comment on whether that is a legit issue or is it something which can be disabled through opt out?

QuestionI’m thinking about upgrading from my 15 year old JVC 5.1 system. I’ve got 2 questions. 1: Can I use my current speakers with this, until I can buy new? And 2: Does this have any RCA outputs for both my cassette and cd recorders?
Asked 5 years ago by 19something.
- Answer 1. No reason you can't use your existing speakers. 2. There are RCA outputs which are intended to output to "Zone 2" (like another room) but they are not simply audio line outs. I played a little bit with this but couldn't quite get it to work. Most likely "user error" but enabling the Zone 2 outputs was not simple or obvious.

QuestionI recently purchased the Onkyo NR686 receiver. Have connected my cable box to the receiver with a HDMI cable and receiver to my Sony TV with a HDMI cable but I cannot get any video on the TV only audio. Ideas? Thanks!
Asked 5 years ago by LostHDMI.
- Answer First check the output cable from the receiver is connected to the correct TV input. Also, check to determine if you've selected the correct output on the remote. Example, my roku is connected to the streaming output.

QuestionIs it possible to control this with a Roku remote? I use Roku / YoutubeTV and I'm trying to figure out how to minimize remote control usage. Or is it possible to use the Onkyo remote to control my Roku device? (e.g. open different apps, etc)
Asked 6 years ago by CBC127.
- Answer I use Roku also. Depending on the Roku, yes. My newer Roku has an on/off button. You can turn on TV and adjust volume with Roku. Not sure if it would work with DVD player. I stream with Comcast, if that matters.

QuestionCan I connect a roku stick to the back of this receiver so that I can connect my projector and tv for YouTube tv? If so, which port on receiver do I use for roku stick.
Asked 6 years ago by Tony.
- Answer Yes. All HDMI inputs are the same. Just watch your spacing as the stick is a bit thick. Consider a small HDMI extender or you may lose an input due to space.

QuestionCan I play all input sorces through main zone and Zone 2? My Denon can only play analog inputs to zone 2 so I actually had to use the analog outputs from my blue ray to play sound to the speakers I had outside.
Asked 7 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer The Onkyo allows for any input, including digital inputs, to be directed to zone 2. I’ve been please with the performance and capabilities of the TX-NR686, although the many audio playback mode settings are confusing.

QuestionMy cable signal comes into my new Onkyo TX-NR686 by HTMI. How can I send the cable music channels to my zone 2 speakers, when zone 2 won't transmit an HDMI signal? Will it work to connect a composite input from my cable box, in parallel with the HDMI?
Asked 5 years ago by paulb.
- Answer Zone 2 is analog only on this receiver. Your cable box should also include a analog (RCA right/left) output that you could run to one of the analog inputs on the receiver.
