20 Most Recent Onkyo TX-8511 Receiver - Page 2 Questions & Answers

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the problem...

One speaker? Why would you have one speaker attached to A or B? A and B represent speaker pairs and are driven by the same two amps.

It's also not clear if you're saying the speaker is failing or the channel. You CAN swap them to find out.

Either way, the amps are common to both speaker pair connections so if only the B pair isn't working at worst you have a switch problem.

As far as the TV audio goes... unless it is the primary source of the audio (tuned through its own antenna and available no where else) why don't you just run the actual primary source's (cable/sat, whatever) best digital audio straight to the Onkyo and skip the middleman that adds nothing to it but expensive unnecessary cable hops.

I'd also run each video sources absolute best video straight to the TV for the same reason.

Check your right and left balance. Make sure they are equal

See reasons for protect mode on onkyo site.
Most likely the speaker wires are shorting or are reverse polarity. see connection diagram.

make sure there are no crossed wires on the in put or out put if this does not solve your problem it is most likely an internal problem, and in that case its time to get a new one.

Did you check the right left fade dial to be sure its not turned all the way to the right? If it is centered and still doesn't work, then you might try selecting a different connetion. Usually stereos have an "A set of speakers or a "B" set. Whatever they are on now try connecting so that they are on the other one. If they are on "B" now switch to "A" or vice versa and see if that corrects it. Hope it works!

yes their is but you would need a local man to do it this is not something you can do yourself ,also of course it depends on the fault as some faults may cost more to fix than the set is worth .try a length of wire just pushed into the aerial plug and if its still the same then ask a local man but if its all microchips inside then it cannot be repaired very easly .could just be a broken wire on the inside of the set from the aerial socket to the board ,something right simple and a two minute job to repair

Use the TOSLINK - the optical/digital connector on both devices.

It seems any one of speakers got defective that are attached with this receiver. Hook speakers one by one to find out what speaker is causing problem and creating heat in receiver.
Thanks.

If it's anything like my Onkyo surround receiver, pressing any input selection will turn on unit.

Another way to connect might be through the "aux" but does'nt the video jacks have audio inputs as well?

Forgot about "e-bay"! Find the same model working or not and use for parts since new one is "nla"!

Sounds like the table is to close to the speakers!
Also if you boost the bass and/or loudness button
on specially if the speakers are "big" with large woofers! Try also extra "feet" below the table for more isolation can help!

More then likely you damaged the amp and it will
need to be serviced!

Reverse left and right speakers at back of unit
to verify if a speaker/wire problem. Also check
all functions for same problem!

Whats the part # and will see if still avalible!?

Troubleshoot the "amp" section!
