Hi my display is showing a what looks like a battery with TX in it. thanks

HI Preshay, to reset the tx-ds494 first press and hold Video 1 then also press and hold Speaker A, the display will show Clear then the unit will shutdown. Please note that everything will revert back to factory defaults so it will be like taking the unit out of the box for the first time. If you need further assistance please contact our Product Support Team at 800-229-1687, Thanks, JT

if this is on a Goldwing, it appears that you have a shorted pin int he connector. Disconnect the radio and make sure all of the pins are straight and connecting properly.

see if this link helps you out.

Hi,
I have a PalmOne Tungsten T5.
I'm not familiar so much with the TX, but does it not have a charger? I have to charge mine periodically.

Press [function] button and then [dataregistration] on the display dataregistration will be displayed,press [ok] user settings will be dislpayed,press the arrow down until you find report settings press [ok], tx report will be displayed,Press [ok] again.It will show on the screen "output yes",press the arrow untill it show "output no" and press [ok] again.
Thats it.

are you using the TV tuner of the TX-42F30s or are you connecting via setup box
what happen if you change channel
the unit can be reset to factory mode.

Onkyo.com

has the owners manual in full.

make sure your time is set and the atomic clock time is recieved, then leaving the rear cover off of the transmitter, push the "tx" button not the "c/f" that is just for centegrade or ferenhight. you will see the red light on the front of reciever flash in a few seconds. The temp should display on your clock screen. If not, did the red l.e.d. light on transmitter flash. If not, its not sending data to clock. I have to reset and hit transmit every time I replace batteries on transmitter. Had no problems for over 2 years of using outside. If your not getting a reading with transmitter sitting next to clock after hitting "tx" button you may have defective transmitter.

I just read over the problem you were having with your Onkyo TX-SR500 receiver. It sound like the unit needs to be setup for all five channels.Sence your symptom says the diplay shows Dolby D3/2.1. According to the owners manual with the remote control look for speaker setup whin the button is pressed the current speaker setup will be shown in the display. Press the preset/adjustment<> to change the current setting to five speakers. the listening mode will automatically change according to the number of channels you selected. Hope this helps.

Hi ripper

The unit has a built in display dimmer, with a button to control the level of brightness from the display both on the remote, and the front panel.Try this
