Having problems with a new (sorta) Onkyo 606 receiver... Drove to meet Brian from Yambeka audio to pick up a set of his newer 7 speaker set... AMAZING SPEAKERS btw! Nice guy too! (Will try to review the speakers later). Anyways, on the way home, stopped by Circuit City to replace my 6.1 Sony receiver with a receiver that has 7.1 and HDMI. After an hour worth of research comparing the models on my iPhone, ended up getting the TSXR606... highly reviewed. Below is the problem I am experiencing and I think it needs repaired, but I want to see if someone here has experieced these symptoms.
First, I ran the speaker setup with the microphone that came with the receiver, and all the speakers made noise, so that indicated that the entire speaker wiring was correct. I next proceeded to hook my three components to the receiver:
1.Dish Network VIP722 receiver (HDMI – 1080p)
2.Xbox 360 (HDMI – 1080p)
3.Samsung BDP1500 (HDMI – 1080p)
4.HDMI out to Toshiba 47HL167 (1080p)
At first, no audio and no video came through the receiver and/or TV. Upon reading the manual further, I proceeded to factory default the receiver and make sure only the DMI inputs had assignments and disabled the other inputs. Again, no sound and/or video. After unplugging the TX-SR606 and letting it set for approximately 10 minutes with no power, I tried again everything again. No audio/video. We even tried setting the video to both “Through” and “Auto,” but neither option changed the results. With the unit powered on, I unplugged then replugged the Dish VIP722 HDMI cable from the back of the Dish receiver, just to make sure it was plugged in securely, and it tarted working. But those steps only allowed the Dish Network box to start working, no others. If the same steps were applied to the other equipment, there was no change. I preceded to factory default the Onkyo and was able to replicate that same problem.
Upon speaking to Onkyo tech support on February 24, 2009, they told me that what I was experiencing indicated a problem with the unit and to contact a service center. Onkyo was especially concerned because I was never able to get the OSD (On Screen Display) to work. If I replicated the above steps to get the Dish Network to work, I would use the key combination (found in the manual) on the remote to get the OSD to come up and the audio and video would cut out for a second, and then return with no OSD. The representative stated the OSD should have come on at this point. Also, all of my equipment works fine by going from the components straight to the TV via HDMI. We even tried swapping cables around, all with no result.
Called Onkyo and they say to send it have it repaired, but they didn't even attempt to troubleshoot, maybe because of my somewhat thorough tests? Any ideas? Send for repair? Atleast I still have my Sony receiver so I won't have to go out without decent sound until the Onkyo comes back. lol
