Troubleshooting

Incorrect operations are often mistaken for trouble and 
malfunctions. If you think that there is something wrong with 
this component, check the points below. Take a look at the 
other components and electrical appliances being used, 
because sometimes the problem may lie there. If the trouble 
isn’t sorted out even after going through the checks below, 
ask your nearest Onkyo authorized independent service 
company to carry out repair work.

If the unit does not operate normally due to external effects 
such as static electricity disconnect the power plug from 
the outlet and insert again to return to normal operating 
conditions.

General

™

The power does not turn on.

#

Disconnect the power plug from the outlet, and insert again.

™

The receiver suddenly switches off.

#

When the Auto Power Down function is working, the power 
will automatically turn off if the receiver has not operated for 
several hours. Check the setting for the Auto Power Down 
function (see 

The Auto Power Down menu

 on page 29

).

#

Make sure there are no loose strands of speaker wire 
touching the rear panel. This could cause the receiver to shut 
off automatically.

#

After about a minute (you won’t be able to switch the unit on 
during this time), switch the receiver back on. If the message 
persists, call a 

Onkyo

 authorized independent service 

company.

#

If there is very little low frequency information in the source 
material, change your speaker settings to Front: SMALL /
Subwoofer: YES, or Front: LARGE / Subwoofer: PLUS 
(

page 27

).

™

The input of this unit switches from one to another. 
(When the ARC function is ON)

#

The CEC (Consumer Electronic Control) function may 
activate when the ARC function is turned ON, causing the 
input to switch from one to another. Since this unit does not 
guarantee synchronized operation based on the CEC 
function, turn OFF the HDMI CONTROL setting on the 
connected player. Refer to the relevant device’s instruction 
manual for details.

If this does not work, turn OFF the ARC function. If this is the 
case, listen to the TV audio after connecting this unit and the 
TV with an audio cable.

™

OVERHEAT shows in the display and the power turns off.

#

The temperature within the unit has exceeded the allowable 
value. Try moving the unit for better ventilation.

#

Lower the volume level.

™

TEMP shows in the display and the volume level drops.

#

The temperature within the unit has exceeded the allowable 
value. Try moving the unit for better ventilation.

#

Lower the volume level.

™

No sound is output when an input function is selected.

(analog) according to the type of connections made 
(

page 18

).

#

Make sure the component is connected correctly (see 

Connecting your equipment

 on page 8

).

#

Check the audio output settings of the source component.

#

Refer to the instruction manual supplied with the source 
component.

™

No image is output when an input function is selected.

#

Make sure the component is connected correctly (see 

Connecting your equipment

 on page 8

).

#

Use the same type of video cables for the source component 
and TV to connect to this receiver (see 

About video outputs 

connection

 on page 11

).

#

The video input selected on the TV monitor is incorrect. Refer 
to the instruction manual supplied with the TV.

™

No sound from subwoofer.

#

Make sure the subwoofer is switched on.

#

If the subwoofer has a volume knob, make sure it’s turned up.

#

The Dolby Digital or DTS source you are listening to may not 
have an LFE channel.

#

Switch the subwoofer setting in 

Speaker Setting

 on page 27

 

to 

YES

 or 

PLUS

.

™

No sound from surround or center speakers.

#

Connect the speakers properly (

page 9

).

#

Refer to 

Speaker Setting

 on page 27

 to check the speaker 

settings.

#

Refer to 

Channel Level

 on page 28

 to check the speaker 

levels.

™

No sound from a specific speaker.

#

Make sure the speaker cable is connected correctly. (Ensure 
that the connection terminal is correct, that the speaker wire is 
firmly inserted, and that no speaker wire is touching the rear 
panel.)

™

Considerable noise in radio broadcasts.

#

Connect the antenna (

page 14

) and adjust the position for 

best reception.

#

Route any loose cables away from the antenna terminals and 
wires.

#

Fully extend the FM wire antenna, position for best reception, 
and secure to a wall (or connect an outdoor FM antenna).

#

Connect an additional internal or external AM antenna 
(

page 14

).

#

Turn off equipment causing interference or move it away from 
the receiver (or move antennas farther away from equipment 
causing noise).

™

Broadcast stations cannot be selected automatically.

#

Connect an outdoor antenna (

page 14

).

™

Noise during playback of a cassette deck.

#

Move the cassette deck away from your receiver, until the 
noise disappears.

™

No sound is output or a noise is output when software 
with DTS is played back.

#

Make sure the player’s settings are correct and/or the DTS 
signal out is on. Refer to the instruction manual supplied with 
the DVD player.

™

There seems to be a time lag between the speakers and 
the output of the subwoofer.

#

See 

Automatically setting up for surround sound (AccuEQ 

Room Calibration)

 on page 16

 to set up your system again 

using AccuEQ Room Cal. (this will automatically compensate 
for a delay in the subwoofer output).

™

After using the AccuEQ Room Cal. setup, the speaker 
size setting (LARGE or SMALL) is incorrect.

#

Low-frequency noise could have been caused by an air 
conditioner or motor. Switch off all appliances in the room and 
rerun the AccuEQ Room Cal. setup.

™

Can’t operate the remote control.

#

Replace the batteries (

page 7

).

#

Operate within 7 m (23 ft.), 30º of the remote sensor (

page 7

).

#

Remove the obstacle or operate from another position.

#
