Speaker is not detected

Component (i.e. TV) should be connected to plug labeled IN (signal IN receiver).

Have the same amp and speakers, had some trouble getting the imput signals sorted from the HDMI input as im using a PC with HDMI output from the mother board and Windows Media Centre. havent tryed using the mic set up yet.

Did you resolve the issue? have you tried the 7.1 outputs

Yes you can use the speakers and also the sub if it is a powered sub with a phono input,but be aware they are nowere near good enough for the Onkyo 706,look at the JAMO 102 sub and sats as a starting point if you have a small room,say 4meters x 5meters,or somthing from other good speaker companys to make the most of what is a hard hitting amp,but if you must use the speakers you have set the cross over to about 120hrtz to save the main speakers getting to much bass .

Hope this helps.

Hey there.

I had the same problem until i figured out that if u dont have surround speakers connected it will be a error when trying to configure the rear surround speakers.

So if u are running a 5.1 system and have hooked up ur surround speakers to the back surround speaker port u have to change them to the surround speaker port.

Hope this work for u

Isolate the wiring, too. It's a binary problem. Should be easy. Or try running your suspected speakers on other channels to eliminate amplifier bugs.

An amplifier goes into protect when it detects a load with too low an impedance. If it displays protect with no speakers connected at all, the amplifier is damaged. If not, reconnect speakers one at a time (while the amp is off!) to determine the cause of the fault.

It may be as simple as a single strand of copper wire shorting between the positive and negative terminals of a connection.

hi there. try to check if your surround speakers are on the surround terminal. do not put them on the surround back terminal because this is only allotted for the 7.1 speakers. hope this helps.. ^_^

no solution from me but just to say i am having exactly the same problem - did you get anywhere with yours?

I sent this TX-SR605 system to an authorized dealer for repair. It seems like it is a very simply problem - the internal set-up mic jacket closed circuit, so the system think the set-up mic is always plugged in (even when physically unplugged it, the system still detect plugged in). And it enters the automatic speaker setup and never quit.

Now I have the receiver back home and tested it. Everything worked O.K. now. It is a pity that this new-bought equipment (just one month) need repair for just a small action of plug in a mic ( I swear I plugged it in very tenderly). It is shame for such a unreliable performance happened on brand name like ONKYO. How can you be confident for an equipment failure in one month.
