It sounds like an error in the wiring of the speakers. Check that very closely.

SOURCE: Overload

try turning the unit off in standby mode then hold down the enter button and then the power button for about 10m seconds that should reset the unit depending on how new the unit is it sometimes has a digital saftey setting but i doubt that would cause it to do what you are saying

SOURCE: it stopped working

Connecting or disconnecting output leads while power is applied is a common way to destroy the output modules.
If you feel adventurous, remove the housing and check at the rear of the chassis for larger black epoxy encapsulated modules.
There may be two or four of the same type; one of these has probably failed unless there are fuses visible related to the output terminals.
To establish which module has failed, it may be necessary to own a multimeter of some kind so comparative measurements can be made. You can buy a meter adequate for this task at auto parts stores for under $20 US (you needn't spend more) and possibly (in the US) at Radio Shack although my last recent check of their website showed only a couple of models and those were over the stated price. If you are near a Harbor Freight Tool outlet, they typically have them for under $10 and eBay has them even cheaper:
eBay - Digital Multimeters
If you decide to 'DIY' and have the manual skills to do decent soldering with a decent iron, post back here as a comment and I will give you some instructions to follow.
The part is likely to cost under $25 US but labor will be a good bit higher.

Plays only mono when listening to music

I lot could depend on how the music source has been connected to the receiver. If you are using a stereo CD player then you may need to check if it is configured to send audio in stereo mode and not mono. The input source selection for the audio is given in page 26 of the manual.
You can go to the setting menu in Receiver and configure the speakers settings according to which ones you have installed.
Also refer page 25 in the manual to over ride speaker configuration if it is not showing correct.

Onkyo TX-SR309 - Sound output only from 2 speakers from five. Hi, I have a Onlyo TX-SR309 receiver connected to a Wharefedale MS100HCP speaker package. It was working fine for 15 months but now the...

Some info from the manual:
The Dolby Digital and DTS listening modes can only be selected if your Blu-ray Disc/DVD player is connected to
the AV receiver with a digital audio connection (coaxial,
optical, or HDMI).
• The listening modes you can select depends on the format of the input signal. To check the format, see "Displaying Source Information"
• While a pair of headphones is connected, you can select the following listening modes: Mono, Direct, and Stereo.
• While Speakers A and B are on, you can select only the
Direct, Stereo, Mono, or T-D (Theater-Dimensional) listening mode.


Plus this Bit of info on the speakers A and B buttons.
While Speakers B is on, channels are reduced to 2.1 in the
main room.

If you can access the speaker configuration it should provide test tones to each speaker. If you can't the speaker A and B are not set right.
If you have pressed the stereo or mono button no sound will be heard except from the front two or the sub.

The sound on my firefox browser is low but when I listen to Window media player, it is very loud.

Try following solutions, if it works for you

To switch between speakers and headphones on Firefox,
make sure your headphones are plugged in first,
Right click on volume on the bottom right corner of your screen,
Then select Volume Mixer,
then double click on System sounds,
Click on the playback tab,
then you could switch between speakers or headphones, just select one and click "set default" and OK
only sounds in firefox will play in the headphones,
and windows media player will play on the speakers

You could leave your windows media player to play on the speakers while you listen to firefox videos in the headphones

If you want the media music player to play in your headphones also;
You have to change it in the media player program,
go to options on the media player, then look for playback devices, there should be 2 options speakers and headphones,
just pick one

I usually set the firefox audio to my headphones,
and a media player to the speakers

Please rate & vote if you like solution...

Thanks

I have an ONKYO TX-SR606 receiver and I am trying to listen to FM radio using more than just the center channels. I have gone through the setup screens for the tuner and only Analog choices are available....

Hello,
In reality the correct way to listen to radio or any music source for that matter is in 2 channel stereo. What this means is that the front left and right will play and also the subwoofer. If you absolutely want all your speakers to play while listening to fm, than press the Multi channel button and set it to direct, or any other sound field that you may desire.
Good Luck

2 zone setup

Consult the user manual. If you don't have one, it can be downloaded free at Denon's website. Two of the speaker oututs serve multiple functions. Hookup and setup need to be checked. What you want to do is possible as long as you're only using a 5.1 setup indoors.
