Onkyo TX-SR605 Receiver - Page 6 Questions & Answers
Audio cuts of during graphics, Onkyo TX-SR706
I have a TX-SR505 and the same thing has been happening on mine since I bought it. I am also hooked up to a Panasonic Plasma, using the optical cable to the receiver. It's been perplexing me. I have noticed it typically during commercials, not during normal programming. If I turn up the volume on the Panasonic TV, I can hear the audio, so I know it's not a problem with the over the air signal. It must be something wrong with the reciever. Would love a fix to this!
Every time I try to turn on my onkyo receiver it
the reason why the receiver probably keep turning off is that the systems come with overload protector to keep one from burning or short the systems out so it shut its self off. make sure you have the speaker wires is connected properly, its very important that you do although the receiver has 0% tolerance when it come to speakers hook up. positive from speaker to positive connector behind reciever; same as negative. double check all speakers wires. repost if that not an issue
Simular Problem
HDMI must be hooked directly to the TV and optical or digital coaxial to the receiver. Your receiver has 1.1, 1.2 or 1.2a HDMI firmware and hardware. There is no fix for this issue w/out a new receiver that has 1.3b firmware. All receivers on the market have this issue, not just Onkyo. HDMI comes directly from HDMI. And there customer support !@#$%^&*()!!! Sorry for the bad news! but that's the fix. Hope this helps.
Onkyo605 stopped outputting Video after installing HDAV1.3 sound
If you didnt change any of the inputs going to the onkyo. I would check the input setup. I dont know what input you have your pc connected to on the onkyo, i'm guessing that your using a hdmi cable. make sure you have hdmi selected as your input type not component video or any other. That model doesnt upconvert anything to hdmi. Also some dvi-d to hdmi dont play well wih onkyo.
Onkyo tx-sr604
easiest fix is to take all hdmi straight to tv. then come out of tv with optical cable to your receiver. that way what ever your watching will automatically be sent to the receiver thru optical. you even will get dolby dig. also you can have audio from your tv when you dont want to use your surround. keeps receiver on one input also.
Onkyo TX-SR606 Reciever - 20 sec after power on, screen is green
The HDMI version in your receiver is 1.1 or 1.2 which will not pass video as it should. It's not Onkyo's firmware at issue, it's HDMI and in all receivers up to 2008 model year this is a very heated problem! The only fix is to run FIOS directly to the TV via HDMI and run it's audio to your receiver with Digital Coaxial or Optical. Hope this helps
Zone 2 speakers only work with the tuner - no
hi,
zone 2 will only work with analog sources so if your dvd, cable and other devices are connected via HDMI, that alone won't work. What you need to do is hook up RCA (red and white) cables from the dvd player to dvd in of the receiver and same thing for your satellite box (and other sources.) no need to change any setting on the receiver. This way, the HDMI will take care of your main room speakers and the RCA will feed your zone 2 speakers.
Hope this helps.
Onkyo TX-SR605 - Suddenly switches itself off and back on
HI, this is a reset procedure that this unit is trying to initiate. there has been a surge of some sort that the system has survived but, there is some lasting damage as well that has resulted in a slight programming error within the mother board.
This unit has a program that was installed at the manufacture. it runs the basic operations. there has been some major damage that is causing the internal program to stall and reset itself. the only way to reprogram is to send it back to the manufacture or, you can locate a local repair depot through Onkyo. the Onkyo techs are the only option when re programing is needed.
Onkyo 6.1 surround
Check the settings on your cable box for "Audio" settings and check the output. Should be set to "Dolby Digital" If you need more help, post a comment with the make and model of your cable box and I can walk you thru setup. Hope this helps
My 605 turns off and red light blinks when volume goes past 58
Shorted speakers can cause the unit going on protection mode (the red light blinking) when a certain volume is reached.
Test with a set of replacement speakers.
If it is not the speakers, it is probably transistors in the amp final or something nearby. Test also input output board.
Onkyo 605 loss of audio on HD channels only
on your directv box, go to menu, setup, setup again, then audio, then dolby digital on the right and turn it on. assuming you have an optical audio cable from your sat box to your onkyo.
The receiver goes on standby mode when volume is high
Your receiver is basically going into protect mode.
The SR 605 contains a microcomputer for signal processing and control functions. In an unlikely event, it may cause it to lock up. Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wait for 10 to15 seconds and then plug it back again.
Please also check your speaker cabling again. Make sure that all of them are seated properly, none is touching each other or the body of receiver. Take out all the wire and put them back again if necessary..
Some times even a little tiny frayed wire touching the receiver could trigger the protect mode. Be careful, since protect mode is sometimes not fast enough and it could blown a few trasistors in the power circuit.
Just check your speaker as well....whether they play all right thru another receiver or amplifier. its posiible they might be shorting inside. A little frayed wire could also trigger the protect circuit in your receiver.
I hope this should solve your problem. If you still can’t resolve the issue yourself, try resetting
the AV receiver/AV amplifier before going on to opening the Receiver.
To reset the Receiver to its factory defaults, turn it on and, while holding the [VCR/DVR] button, press the [STANDBY/ON] button. "Clear" will appear on the display and the Receiver will enter Standby mode. (note that resetting your receiver will delete your custom settings as well as your radio presets).
If everything else seems all right and still your receiver shut down when you raise the volume then it possible that there are bad connections on the main board that are set in.
This would generally happen if the system is slighly old or have dry solder and when you raise up the volume. This should be a simple repair that will not require parts. If you can solder, you will be able to repair this yourself. If not, then a local service center will change the local labor rate.
Hope you can sort out your problem with the above trouble shooting. Let me know if I can guide you further.
Best of luck. Thanks for using FixYa!
2 month old ONKYO TX-SR706 speaker circuit problem
This is a problem with the surround sound processing. Effectively the digital signal is not being processed properly. Since this unit is so new, return it and request either an exchange or at least warranty service. The DSP board will likely be replaced.

I recently bought TX-SR605 7.1 receiver it was
Its possible that the Receiver is going into protection mode and possible some speaker cable might have touched the body or with each other.
Remove all inputs and outputs and then restart the receiver. If it starts then you are lucky. Connect all cable and wiring properly and ensure that they do not touch each other. You might have to reset the microprocessor if the recevier has got.
If the problem persist then let me know to further the trobleshooting.
Please do rate this solution and thanks for using FixYa.
Use JBL Creature speakers (pc speakers) through tv
There may be a setting in the TV's menu to set fixed or variable output for the rca's. You want variable. Some have two sets of audio outputs for fixed and variable. Depends on the TV. Check those two things. If no help let me know what the TV is and we'll see what we can do.
