My Onkyo TX-SR606 won't turn on

hi

Have you tried powering it off fully (holding on/off button until it switches off) then leave it for 30 seconds, and switch it on again. hope this help.

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 reset. push and hold vcr1 and then press power button while unit is on this will reset back to factory default

weird problem! how does it work with the "remote"?

could be a bad soldered joint or loose connector, even a bad earth in the secondary power circuit.

Do you have the monitor video output connected and selected on your TV?

I had the same problem for more than a year but just lived with it. The solution is to reset the receiver to factory defaults. Page 96 of the owners manual, "turn the unit on and while holding down the VCR/DVR button, press the ON/STANDBY button. CLEAT will appear on the display and the unit will turn off". Problem solved!

This is a problem of DSP. If enter service mode,
You will see a picture like this. You can do nothing
Except selling this amp cheaply. This DSP ??????
Causes NO SOUND in all channels. Besides, never
Buy 2nd hand onkyo from 5/6/7/805 to 5/6/7/848Series amps. You will suffer the consequences!!!!

Your amp is overheating. Provide better ventilation or rig up some fans. Onkyo amplifiers are known for getting hot.

Peace.

go into any of the RGB inputs on the Onkyo

The R/W go into the corresponding inputs for audio, Red and White.

One thing to note,

IF you are running one source RGB like you want to do,
you may have to monitor output the video of the amp RGB to the TV, most of these amps do not like to mix HDMI with anything else.

So If you have one HDMI going out to the TV, this solution will not work. You should look at the manual for the Onkyo regarding what paths can pass at the same time. There is usually a small disclaimer in the HDMI section.

Hope that solves your question.
