Apartment Stereo Install with Onkyo TX-NR696

I have an Onkyo TX-NR696 that needs to be fully integrated into my apartment for a dedicated stereo setup. The goal is simple: enjoy clear two-channel sound from my TV, a vinyl turntable, and any Bluetooth source without a tangle of wires cluttering the room.

Scope of work
• Mount and position the two main speakers at ear level for balanced stereo imaging.
• Run and conceal all cabling—speaker wire, HDMI, RCA, and power—so the finish looks apartment-friendly and damage-free. Surface-raceways or other non-invasive solutions are essential.
• Configure the receiver: assign inputs for TV (ARC preferred), line-level phono for vinyl, and Bluetooth pairing. Complete AccuEQ calibration so levels match across sources.
• Walk me through daily operation—input switching, volume trim, and basic troubleshooting—before sign-off.

Acceptance criteria
1. Both speakers play clean, hum-free audio from every source.
2. Cables are hidden or neatly channeled with no visible slack.
3. Receiver shows correct input labels and delivers balanced left/right output at reference listening position.
4. I can repeat the steps you demonstrate to switch sources and stream via Bluetooth.

If you have the tools for precise speaker mounting, cable routing, and Onkyo configuration, I’d like to schedule the job at your earliest convenience.
