Why does my Onkyo ht-r380 not work?
When I press SP A/B (whatever that is) on the remote it’ll switch and one of the options the two rears work fine, but the front two stop working, ahh! Okay, got the pass through working – seems it does work but only with the last used item… better than nothing I guess. Anyone, please? Otherwise I’m going to offer it to a friend ;_;
Why does my Onkyo ht-s3305 sound bad?

Why does my Onkyo receiver not power on?

What does speakers A and B mean on Onkyo?
Speakers A mean for your proper 5.1 set-up. Speakers B are for two speakers that can be setup in another room. You shouldn’t need SP-B. A lot of people make the following mistake: During setup they plug their speakers accidently into the Speaker B sockets, so double check you’ve plugged the speakers into the A sockets.
