There is a 3-way Dimmer on the front panel and the remote controller. The manual doesn't say if it will turn completely OFF.

If you put DVD with Dolby Digital soundtruck it will show on your TX-SR304 Dolby Digital mode, and if you have DVD with DTS mode it will show DTS

Component video has a max resolution of 720p. in order to use 1080i or p you have to use hdmi or dvi connections. That is why you get the flicker.

Onkyo offers access to manuals at their web site. HERE is a link to the receiver line.

Personally, I'd connect the speakers to main left/right. The subwoofer to subwoofer out. The Go VIdeo unit to VCR/Video 1, the cable box to Video 2 and the video output to the Sony TV composite input. No need to connect the TV audio out to the receiver since the audio feed comes from the cable box.

This receiver runs VERY hot during normal operation. Make sure you provide good ventilation for it.

With summer here, you might consider a small clip-on fan and clip it near the top of the receiver. The amplifier section is along the front of the chassis - so that's the source of heat.

See if unblocking it helps - then try the fan.

I suspect that the speaker levels need to be set. You connected everything right - many people would not have connected the sats via the bass section (which has their high pass crossover and overload protection). But I am betting the HSU is turned up a bit on the high side.

Try this. Set all speakers to small, set all levels to 0. Play the receiver in stereo all mode. If the bass is strong, you need to turn the HSU down closer to a natural sound. Then use the speaker setup tone and adjust as needed.

The 0-83 error indicates a problem with the firmware update. Try resetting the receiver's BIOS by following these steps2: Unplug all cables Un-Power the receiver Power the receiver Before the receiver gets into the "Enter for updating" message, press Tone + CBL/SAT + ON/STANDBY. This will show you either the volume numbers or get you into settings of the receiver's speaker configuration. Press CBL/SAT + ON/STANDBY. This will clear the BIOS and show a "Clear" message on the display. Wait until you hear a couple of clicking sounds for the receiver to turn on and off the power.

Hello Did you update the AVR over the internet? If so the device wont work anymore. You need to service the device in a nearest Onkyo service department. Regards

Hello, To test the subwoofer when the blue light is on if you apply your thumb to the end of the subwoofer cable (the end that you would plug into the receiver) there should be feedback from the sub. If there is no feedback then the sub is not working correctly. Thanks, FJD

You need a RCA sub-woofer cable (analog mono) to connect between the receiver's sub-woofer Pre Out and the sub-woofer. This cable has a single RCA plug at each end of the cable. The cable is somewhat thicker than some audio RCA cables. You can use any RCA cable temporarily. The manual for the HT-R758 is available from Onkyo here: https://onkyousa.com/ht-r758 . The current link to the manual is https://assets.onkyo-av.com/product-manuals/HT-S6500_English_2022-11-02-204020_ivkn.pdf?v=1667421620 . See page EN-13 (page 13 of the PDF) for connecting to the subwoofer. The original package came with a 10' RCA sub-woofer cable, see page EN-1 (page 81 of the PDF) for the speaker list. I hope this helps. Cindy Wells

The error code M1.04/19912A50 on your Onkyo AV receiver HT-R398 typically indicates a firmware or software-related issue. To resolve this problem and reset your receiver, you can follow these steps:

1. Power Cycle the Receiver:
   • Turn off the receiver and unplug it from the power source.
   • Wait for about 10-15 minutes to ensure that all internal components have fully powered down.
   • Plug the receiver back in and turn it on.
2. Factory Reset:
   • If the error persists after power cycling, you may need to perform a factory reset to restore the receiver to its default settings. Note that this will erase all your custom settings, so make sure to back up any important configurations if possible.
   • To perform a factory reset, refer to your receiver's user manual for specific instructions. Typically, this involves pressing and holding specific buttons on the front panel while powering on the receiver. The exact combination of buttons may vary by model.
3. Firmware Update:
   • Ensure that your receiver's firmware is up to date. Visit the Onkyo website and check if there are any firmware updates available for your HT-R398 model. If updates are available, follow the provided instructions to update the firmware.

Remember to consult your receiver's user manual for model-specific instructions, as the steps to reset or update firmware can vary between different Onkyo models. Additionally, be cautious when performing a factory reset, as it will erase all settings and return the receiver to its default state.

Question edited to correct all the typos! Onkyo support suggested I reset the unit by holding the video 1 button while pressing power to reset to factory default, which according to the Tech will reset the Logic controls of the unit. Sep 4, 2005
