Onkyo SR607 instruction manual Troubleshooting, Power Can’t turn on the AV receiver

Troubleshooting

If you have any trouble using the AV receiver, look for a solution in this section. If you can’t resolve the issue yourself, contact your Onkyo dealer.

If you can’t resolve the issue yourself, try resetting the AV receiver before contacting your Onkyo dealer.

To reset the AV receiver to its factory defaults, turn it on and, while holding down the [VCR/DVR] button, press the [ON/STANDBY] button. “Clear” will appear on the display and the AV receiver will enter Standby mode.

Note that resetting the AV receiver will delete your radio presets and custom settings.

The onscreen setup menus appear only on a TV that is connected to the HDMI OUT. If your TV is connected to the MONITOR OUT V, or the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT, use the AV receiver’s display when changing settings.

Power

Can’t turn on the AV receiver

•Make sure that the power cord is properly plugged into the wall outlet.

•Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wait five seconds or more, then plug it in again.

The AV receiver turns off as soon as it’s turned on

•The amp protection circuit has been activated. Remove the power cord from the wall outlet immedi- ately. Disconnect all speaker cables and input sources, and leave the AV receiver with its power cord discon- nected for 1 hour. After that, reconnect the power cord and set the volume to maximum. If the AV receiver stays on, set the volume to minimum, disconnect the power cord, and reconnect your speakers and input sources. If the AV receiver turns off when you set the volume to maximum, disconnect the power cord, and contact your Onkyo dealer.

•Make sure that the digital input source is selected properly (page 42).

•Make sure that all audio connecting plugs are pushed in all the way (page 22).

•Make sure that the inputs and outputs of all compo- nents are connected properly (pages 24-36).

•If there’s no sound from a DVD player connected to an HDMI IN, check the DVD player’s output settings, and be sure to select a supported audio format.

•With some DVD-Video discs, you need to select an audio output format from a menu.
