20 Most Recent Onkyo TX-SR505 Receiver Questions & Answers

Hello, where is the issue, audio or video? Your question has mixed messages. Thank you, Onkyo USA

The TX-SR505 does not support Video Streaming, Thanks, JT

Try coaxial.
Can you use digital out of tv to your receiver?

It's probably self-protecting from heat build-up.

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 'naked'. 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.

Check for loose speaker connections at the speaker as a root cause for intermittent shutdown.

Hi,
You are not alone...Sometimes HDMI connections fail to provide Audio on some equipment ...
You should carry Audio separately with a RCA cable..
OR without HDMI ,you can make the following connections:
** you need to connect "Audio Output " RCA jacks or "Optic cable output" of your DVD
** to "AUX input " or "DVD " OR "Any input" of your receiver ( except Phone ) or "Optic Cable input"
** than just switch to respective mode on RECEIVER corresponding your RCA or Optic connection...
There you go..Both DVD sound and Video are on the Receiver..

Hope this helps!..if more help requires pls let me know.
Take care and please Remember to rate/vote and give me 4 Thumbs Up for me to continue for Helping out the Community :)

Amplifiers sometimes like to have "balanced loads" on them, and this may be the case with your unit, meaning yes, all the impedances should match.

Judging by the impedance numbers you provided, you should be all set. You really want to avoid having something like 2 ohms on the left side and 8 ohms on the right side - grossly imbalanced. I don't see any problems with what you're going to run.

Take the cables from the receiver to the tv and connect it to your Onkyo where it says "in", then take another cable and run it from your Onkyo receiver where it says "out" and connect it directly to the tv. Make sure you cycle the inputs on your receiver and tv, so you get sound and video.

FIXED!!! YES, i kept researching and came across a guy that said a button my be pressed, so press all the button on the front display and make sure they all click. I had punched mine a few months ago when it locked up so i had to take it apart and fix da broken buttons, but i clicked each one on the circuit board manually and VOILA it works again, just wish i hadn't got mad and punch it. Man i hookin it up right now and watching a high definition movie in DOLBY SURROUND SOUND....here is post that i found

This is a very common problem on Onkyo's DVCP704 and DVCP706 dvd players but sometimes happens on their receivers too. What happens is it hangs the cpu and it sits there waiting for that one of 3 or 4 'key' lines to go back high before it will accept any other input signals. If this is the problem and whatever shop you take it too finds it readily it shouldn't be to pricey but that is alot of 'if's' n'stuff.

Keep in mind this is a long distance diagnosis and there are a number of things that could bring on this symptom.. That's just the most likely imo.

Try pressing and releasing all of your front panel buttons once one after another. Once in a long while I see a receiver that got bumped and the plastic button the user actually touches gets caught in the down position holding the tact switch depressed. This will cause the same symptom.
Each should have roughtly the same feeling as you press them.

I know that this is not Cheap But, If you want this to go away you need to Upgrade the A/V Cables to Monster Cables and it will Fix this Problem!
