Why does my onkyo receiver shut off?
If it stays on then one of the speaker wires was shorted or one of the speakers are bad. Reconnect them one at a time and turn the receiver on. When you connect the bad wire or speaker the receiver will shut down.
Are there any problems with the Onkyo tx-nr609 receiver?
Having read the good reviews on the Onkyo TX-NR609 Receiver in What HiFi I purchased the unit. For 2 years I was pleased with it until just before Christmas when there was suddenly no sound (from any source); the setup/connections were unchanged.
What should I do if my Onkyo receiver turns itself off?
If all else fails, turn it off, unplug everything (except the A/C plug!) from the receiver and turn it back on. If it works, you’ve got a short in one of the cables or in what’s connected by the cable. It should be pretty easy to figure out which one. I have an Onkyo receiver that is about 5 years old.
How many hours a day does Onkyo tx-nr818 use?
The TX8050 and the TX-NR818 both saw lengthy use each day. At least six hours and nary a hitch. Agreed, they sell huge numbers so a couple of hundred or however many more or less it is distorts the picture. People will talk up more when they have a complaint.
How old is the Onkyo receiver Model # 575?
I have an Onkyo receiver that is about 5 years old. The model # is 575 and it has been great until a few days ago. I turned it off Saturday night (it was working fine), the when I turned it on Sunday morning it turns on fine, but after about 2 seconds it turns itself off.
