    Onkyo TX-8020 FM Antenna Connection

    I set up my Onkyo TX-8020 earlier today. I was not able to connect the FM antenna that came in the box with the unit, however. The antenna uses a connection I am unfamiliar with. It appears to be similar to a coaxial cable such as the kind found on a TV antenna or a internet modem. I used a...

    Onkyo A-9110 vs TX-8270

    Which would you choose and why? New Onkyos have this wierd volume "issue" where there is no sound at all at volume levels under 20. Some around 30. And normal listening levels need a volume of 40+! Seeing it right now with the TX-NR676 and reading about it online re other models too. Do either...

    Replacing My Receiver and Speakers

    I will most likely be replacing my Onkyo TX-38 with a Onkyo TX-8020 this upcoming month. I have already switched my JBL G300 speakers with a pair of custom-built speakers my grandfather handed down to me. Should I buy new speaker wire to go with the new components going into my system? The...

    Onkyo M5000 Goes into protection mode

    I just bought an Onkyo M5000 power amplifier from local sales and when I plug the amp in it immediately goes into protection mode. Nothing is connected to the speaker terminals or the inputs. Any ideas where I should start looking for solutions?

    Speakers for Onkyo TX-1500 MKII

    Hello! I recently got an Onkyo TX-1500 MKII receiver, but I am having a hard time deciding/understanding what are the best speakers for the system. I've been looking for speakers with the same impedance (8 ohm), but don't really get the wattage situation. According to what I've read the...

    Onkyo A-7 Extensive Restoration

    Let me start by telling everyone, this will not be a multi-day or multi-week restoration. Not exactly sure how much time it will take because I will be going over every part and piece to restore this amp back to as close to or better than factory condition as possible. I don't see a ton of...

    Onkyo M504 Protection Mode Problem

    Hello all! I recently picked up an Onkyo M504 and P304 pair from a local estate. Both were in very nice shape, they were stored in a closed cabinet where they collected very little dust. I opened them up, blew out what little dust there was, did a quick visual inspection and saw nothing out of...

    Luckybaer's Current Set-Up

    Each piece in the system has a story to tell... My turntable is a Kenwood KD-2070 purchased used for about $35 on eBay nearly a decade ago. Only recently did I decide to "get back into" vinyl, so it has been seeing a lot of work. I currently have it loaded with an Audio-Technica VM750SH...

    Onkyo Receiver Reliability

    Has anyone had any Onkyo receivers fail after being repaired? I have a TX-NR616 that failed. These models are apparently notorious for the HDMI board dying which takes out all channels. Onkyo was very accommodating and paid for the service and shipping both ways. No complaints about the service...

    Onkyo TX-SV646 static in left and right channels, please help!

    Hello, I recently got an Onkyo TX-SV646 receiver from a friend, and when I started the unit up, I was met with a loud static/popping sound coming from the left channel. The sound could be heard on the speaker outputs, along with the headphone and pre-outs. I took the unit down to one of my...

    Receivers

    Looks like I need a new receiver. Any thoughts on this model? It's $149 on Amazon. I just want one that has a phono jack and that I can hook up a CD player to, or possibly my MacBook pro, as well. I couldn't even connect my DVD/CD player to my current/old Technics receiver as the DVD plug...

    Onkyo TA-2070 - No left channel

    Hey all, I own a Onkyo TA-2070 and it does function for the most part except the left audio channel. The meters show no output and there is no audio from the left channel out of the rear of the unit. I downloaded the service manual and I have gone through the schematics for the left channel...

    Would this AV Surround system be an upgrade?

    I currently have an Onkyo TX-NR809 in for the HDMI board replacement. In the meantime, I started looking at a new entertainment center cabinet since my old one fell apart. I found one I like but it's not really deep enough to accomodate the Onkyo. That started me looking for a newer but second...

    Is this an (Onkyo) HDMI Board Problem?

    In my TV room I have a TX-NR809 AVR. It's been pretty reliable but is starting to act up but not in a way that follows the pattern of the typical dreaded HDMI board problem. According to many YouTube videos I've seen on the problem, when you power the AVR on and it warms up initially, you never...

    Onkyo tx 2500 annoying static

    So I've narrowed it down to what the noise is: it's thetuner simply cutting out than making popping crackingsounds when it does. Than the volume will go lower, almost as if I'm driving through a tunnel or up a mtn. Without a good radio signal. What do you guys think this Is? On the receiver ...

    recommendations for source for integrated amplifier

    I picked up a very clean Onkyo A-8048V (Sanyo 4044V amp modules) at a thrift store. I found that it is stuck in protect mode. I checked voltages at the amp pin connects to the board and find voltages way off on one of them. I am betting that the amp module has internal damage, and that that is...

    Nakamichi lx-3 vs onkyo

    Hello I’m new to this site and was looking for some advice. Im interested in purchasing a Nakamichi lx-3 or an onkyo haven’t decided yet. A good friend of mine told me to get a deck pre 1996 since the newer ones play the tape too quickly thus altering the sound. Any advice and input would be...
