You have this all backwards. So essentially it won't power on. THAT must happen before setup or anything else.

Generally speaking, an amp attempts to protect itself from heat, shorts, overloads and operator exuberance by refusing to turn on or stay on.

Overloads can be from excessive periods of high output or marginally low impedance loading by the speakers; and shorts would be wiring issues or a speaker blowing up.

You should be able to feel if it's hot. WHY is it overheating? Make sure it has sufficient ventilation on all sides and that vent holes are not blocked by dust balls. Ensure the fan (if equipped) is running as designed (some only operate on demand). Clean dust and debris from it.

If the amp comes back on after cooling, you're lucky. They only have so many self-protection cycles in their lives so continuously resetting or cycling their power without addressing the cause can do more harm than good.

If it protects immediately on a cool power up you should disconnect the speaker connections and try it 'nekkid'. If it comes up then diagnose which lead(s) are shorted. If it does not come up the problem is internal and should be left to an experienced and competent hands-on tech.

Try 32083 or 30522.

Just go to Onkyo.com support.. all the manuals are online in pdf form

in most cases it is just time to replace the battery.
Also, please make sure the infrared eye is clean.

If the top is very hot, I would check the impedance on the speakers to see if any are shorted....one of them may be shorted or in a low ohm state.
Use an ohm meter and look at the speaker ratings.
If you have an 8 or 4 ohm speaker and it's reading 1 or 2 ohms, that's the problem.
Check at the speaker^s connectors if possible with the unit off but speaker connected.
If you have a dead short on any of them, disconnect and reconnect the leads at both the speaker end and the amp end.
If none are a dead short, disconnect the speakers and measure again.
the speakers should read whatever their rated impedance is.

I have a '608, and it supports 3D because it has HDMI 1.4. It looks like the 605 only has HDMI 1.3.

The original HDMI 1.3 protocol is not 3D capable, but revisions a/b/c support it. You should check to see what HDMI revision the 605 has.

Hello
Will you please give me an idea about the connections in between your TV and Av recever? Component video, HDMI etc. What is the brand name and model number of your TV? Please send these details to me by Fixya. OK.

Contrary to the instructions included with most AVR's...

You don't need to take video out from the TV to the receiver. Once it gets to the TV it has found its ultimate destination.

And you don't NEEDS to GET audio FROM a TV either, unless it tunes stations from its own antenna.

Otherwise the SAT/Cable box can provide analog audio to the TV for watching lo-fi programming like news with the Onkyo OFF; and you can run digital multichannel directly to the Onkyo for its special treatment.

Running either hi-end audio or high-end video to a device that doesn't absolutely need it wastes expensive cabling and introduces a couple more connections to worry about.

No but you may be able to help me. I have the same amp and ps3. I have HDMI leads from both but cannot get sound or picture. I do get the set up menu which means it recognises the HDMI lead. How is yours set up ?

Yes, run the cable/sat box analog audio output straight to the TV.

If the receiver is indicating "overload" or "protect" there is a load on the system. Turn the receiver off and remove all speakers and wires, turn receiver on and reduce the volume right down, if the word "overload or protect" stays off! it means there is a short in the wiring or one of the speakers. If however the word "overload or protect" comes on when turned on, it indicates a short in one or more of the audio output ic's in your receiver, this is where you will need a tv technician to troubleshoot further. If you not sure about checking it out just call a professional in to have the unit assessed.

Either the 1.8v or 3.3v line to the hdmi board main micro are low. it needs a modifcation. best to have it done at a onkyo approved service center. or take it to radio shack they do onkyo repair.

I just fixed mine with the same problem. Apparently, the HT-R667 and 606 receiver that comes with 6100 has a problem with the HDMI board. Onkyo wanted $500 dollars to fix it, costed me $16. Here's how to fix it. http://www.highdefforum.com/high-definition-receivers-recorders-players-tivos/121956-repairing-onkyo-htr667-aka-606-a.html

Good Luck!

check your display section, is there any problem?

This can be an indication of protect mode. See the link below for an explanation of protect. If you have any additional questions or wich to attempt a repair yourself, please update this and I'll provide additional information.
