It sounds like you're experiencing an issue with the HDMI input on your Onkyo receiver. Here are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the issue: Check the HDMI cable - Make sure that the HDMI cable you're using to connect your video source to the receiver is properly plugged in and functioning. Try swapping the cable with a new one to see if that resolves the issue. Check the video source - Make sure that the video source (e.g. cable box, Blu-ray player) is turned on and properly configured to output video over HDMI. Also, try connecting a different video source to the HDMI input on the receiver to see if the problem is with the receiver or the video source. Reset the receiver - Try resetting the receiver to its factory settings. To do this, turn off the receiver, then press and hold the "VCR/DVR" button on the front panel of the receiver while pressing the "On/Standby" button. The receiver should display "Clear" on the front panel display. Release the "VCR/DVR" button and the receiver should reset to its factory settings. Check for firmware updates - Go to the Onkyo website and check if there are any firmware updates available for your receiver. If there are, download and install the update to see if it resolves the issue. If none of these steps resolve the issue, it may be a hardware problem with the HDMI input on the receiver. In this case, you may need to have the receiver serviced by a professional technician.

To set up your home theater system with the equipment you mentioned, follow these steps:

1. Connect the Onkyo receiver to the NEC TV using an HDMI cable. Make sure the HDMI input on the TV is set to the correct input for the Onkyo receiver.
2. Connect the Panasonic DVD player to the Onkyo receiver using an HDMI cable.
3. Connect the Firestick Lite to the Onkyo receiver using an HDMI cable.
4. Connect the Panasonic speakers to the Onkyo receiver using speaker wires. Make sure you connect the speakers to the correct speaker terminals on the receiver, which are usually labeled with the speaker's position (e.g. front left, front right, center, surround left, surround right).
5. Configure the Onkyo receiver to use the correct input for each device. For example, set the input to "DVD" when you want to watch a movie on the Panasonic DVD player, or set the input to "Firestick" when you want to watch content on the Firestick Lite.
6. Configure the audio settings on the Onkyo receiver to use the correct audio format for your content. For example, if you are watching a movie with Dolby Digital surround sound, make sure the receiver is set to decode Dolby Digital audio.
7. Adjust the volume and other audio settings on the Onkyo receiver as needed to optimize the sound quality.

Once you have completed these steps, you should be able to enjoy surround sound audio from your Panasonic speakers through the Onkyo receiver.

I don’t have access to schematic for HTR550 but I do for HTR500 and it will be very similar. The components of interest are in the display board, primarily the electrolytic capacitors, it has likely failed. The screen brightness voltage comes in as ac to the screen board then goes through the circled area in the picture below, the likely failure is as said the electrolytic capacitor or could be dry solder joints. Burnt resistor will always be permanent and not intermittent. It could also be the -VP line causing the fault but this is less likely.

Unfortunately, the RC-771M remote doesn't control the TX-SR502. It will only work with these Onkyo models: TX-NR1008 and TX-NR808. The RC-567M is the one for the TX-SR502; replacement remotes that are exact replacements are still available from various places including Amazon.com . Since the TX-SR502 was released in ~2004, that replacement remote probably won't control other devices that were released in 2004 or later. Onkyo changed its IR code programming before the TX-NR1008 was released in ~2010 and the RC-771M can't communicate with the older receiver. The manuals for the receivers listed above are still available from Onkyo on the product page under the Downloads tab. I wish that I had better news for you. Cindy Wells

It sounds like there may be an issue with the amplifier or the speaker wire. The fact that the channel has come back after reconnecting the speaker wire in the past suggests that the problem may be with the wire itself. However, the fact that the cat has chewed on the wire may have caused damage to it, which could be causing the current issue. It could also be an issue with the amplifier, such as a burn out on the right surround channel. To determine the cause of the problem and whether it is worth fixing, it would be best to take the amplifier to a professional for diagnosis and repair. The cost of the repair will depend on the specific issue that is causing the problem.

look on eBay or amazon

it sounds like a source level adjustment refer to your users manual and see if there is a way to turn the SLA up and if not then a small amp can be bought or purchased to boost the sound from the tv. check out the Fiio E5 for examples it might just do the trick

This might be a problem in the power supply section. It could be the big Capacitors in that section. Slow to charge up.

When unit is on hold down vcr button and press standy power button. display will read 'CLEAR". turn back on and see if remote works. note that this will erase any of your settings. Point the remote at any camera and look at the camera display. If you see a white light when you press buttos remote is working. Remove the top cover, remove front cover and resolder connections on remote receiver. If you intend to do this let me know and I can give you more details.

If you're having trouble getting sound from your TV, there are a few things you can check to try and troubleshoot the issue. First, double-check all the connections between your TV and receiver. Make sure they are secure and that you're using the correct inputs. Next, take a look at your TV's settings. Make sure eARC is enabled and that the TV is outputting sound through the correct port. If you're not sure how to do this, consult your TV's manual. Similarly, check your receiver's settings to make sure eARC is enabled and that it is set to the correct input. Again, consult your receiver's manual if you're not sure how to do this. If you're still having trouble, try resetting your receiver. This can often fix audio issues. Hopefully one of these tips will help you get the sound from your TV working properly.

That is an INRUSH rated so it is a slow acting fuse

The Onkyo receiver is designed to use 2-wire speaker wires. Amazon has adapter cables. This one is for use with M/M RCA audio cables: https://www.amazon.com/Speaker-Wire-Stereo-RCA-Adapter/dp/B076P7KP3D . You'll need one pair per speaker. This one, https://www.amazon.com/Speaker-18AWG-Adapter-Cable-UIInosoo/dp/B097XV7QNL/ref=pd_lpo_3?pd_rd_w=ZUie5&content-id=amzn1.sym.116f529c-aa4d-4763-b2b6-4d614ec7dc00&pf_rd_p=116f529c-aa4d-4763-b2b6-4d614ec7dc00&pf_rd_r=1DWE6KY3W0JYFQT74WZT&pd_rd_wg=QGafl&pd_rd_r=b6c31a62-2ae3-406f-9e66-6333f7edbf7b&pd_rd_i=B097XV7QNL&psc=1 , is for a direct connection to a RCA F connection on the speaker. I hope this helps. Cindy Wells

Hi ,try factory reset your unit if that dosent help its pobobly your digital board gone bed, try contacting your local service for mo information.

Hi,the letters after NG refer to the affected channels - left center, right surround, etc. Do you have speakers plugged into these channels? If yes try to unplage all speakers then plage one speaker at a time,check your speakers if that dosent work for you try to factory rest your unit .

Yes the OSD tends to stop working. Here's how to fix it:

Well yes transformers do fail and the transformer does say it has an internal fuse fitted which might have failed. The fuse on the board blowing is an indication of overload. The fact it didn't blow again shows that it is not getting any power or the fault has gone (doubtfull).
I doubt the transformer is a step up. But follow the circuit on the pc board till you come to electroytic capicator. This will have a voltage on it. The power level will be no more and perhaps less than the voltage on the capacitor. Another clue to the power level is if the secondary wires are narrower than those that go to the mains. That will indicate that less voltage comes out.
OK what to do. Well most makers say that the transformer is a safety item so it has to be replaced with the same type or one which is approved by the maker. So you can either contact the maker direct or find a service center, (for the brand) which might order you a replacement, or take the transformer to Radio Shack with details of the model number of the Sub, and see if they can get it for you. While there have a look at the multimeters. You should find one that will help you for all your future needs. I recomend one with a scale (rather than a digital). They are some around for £10 to £20 (I know you live in the USA but you can convert it) that will do what you might need it for.
The first thing to do if you get a meter is check with the ohm setting diodes or bridge rectifiers for shorts. IE: as if you had touch both probes together! Also do the same with any transitors you might find. As this could be the cause of the fuse blowing, and even the transformer's failure.

Nope. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/115270/Onkyo-Cr-325.html?page=7#manual
