Why is my Onkyo tx-nr609 suddenly no sound?
The loaned tx-nr616 has now started to become intermittent on start up for dislaying images to the tv. Looks like the hdmi board is starting to fail on this one now. Spoke to richer sounds and they will give me another loan machine. Still no parts available for the tx-nr609

Which is the best soldering iron for Onkyo?
Electrolytics are notorious for this sort of behaviour (especially if under specified – Onkyo clearly penny pinching). 100uf 105c 25v ones are available for a few £ on Ebay, so if you are prepared to get stuck in with the soldering iron this could be a quick/cheap solution (mine is outside warranty).
What kind of decoding does Onkyo tx-nr709 do?
The TX-NR709 can bi-amp for the front speakers. The Onkyo TX-NR709 has all the decoding features that can handle standard high-resolution. This receiver has a good range of multi-channel surround sound decoding. This gives better accuracy and less speaker distortion.
Why are my Onkyo receivers not working properly?
As part of our commitment to quality and customer service we have determined that a limited number of Onkyo Brand receivers manufactured between 2009 and 2012 may experience loss of audio or loss of network connection. This malfunction has been traced back to a defective network chip.
When did the Onkyo THX AV receiver come out?
