Does the receiver sit on the cradle properly? Photos look like the receiver is crooked when hung up, like the cord is pulling it off the cradle.

The phone sits perfect in the cradle. I even installed a longer cord so I can walk around my entire apartment and talk on the phone. But it sits perfectly. I love it and it's never given me any problems!

The phone does not sit absolutely perfectly in the cradle (it wobbles a teeny tiny bit), but frankly, it doesn't bother me at all. It never affects the dial tone, and the phone continues to work very well.

Sorry to answer in the negative. However, this phone was defective. The receiver was dead. Could not hear or speak through it. I sent it back,got a refund, and purchased the red Crosley desk phone, which I am very happy with.

Call Onkyo customer service. I had the same issue and they took care of the problem. My receiver was repaired and shipped back to me in about a week. I was very impressed. Hope you have the same experience.

I've had excellent service from this receiver. Its used in my motorhome so not used on a daily basis. If its still under warranty, certainly send it to Sony for warranty repair. If not under warranty my experience is that repairs are more expensive than buying a new product.

If you do not corkscrew the receiver every which way it won't. Mine is hanging nice and straight. Unwind it in opposite direction if it starts looking all crazy !

The cable plug is quite tight-fitting. Just line up the pins on the cradle to the holes on the cable and wiggle the plug on.

I never have had a problem. All I can think of is it may be hooked up backwards on the in and out cable. If you have sound then it is not backwards.

I got the bluetooth receiver to work fine but have been unable to get the phone to work properly. Probably need some professional help to find where to attach the brown wire!

I have an older receiver than the one you have and the only problem I had was that there was a plastic tab on the docking base that is for receivers slide down on when you plug your receiver into the dock. my receiver did not have that slot for the tab to slip into so I had to break the tab off the docking cradle in order for it to let my receiver slide down on the pegs that connect the power and antenna to the receiver. yours might have the slot in the back of your receiver and if not just break the tab off the docking station. I hope this helped

Hi,I bought it for my niece and was sent a photo of her actually sitting in the cradle! She has been enjoying it and I haven't heard of any problems. Hope that this helps. C

we found that the receivers that are supposed be adhered to the phone, don't work when placed on the back of the phone, next to the battery. worked fine when placed on the display, but then the phone was pretty useless without the display. don't think they took that into account when they designed it.

It takes just adjusting to get it seated just right. You have to make sure the phone is seated just so. The only way to make sure it is charging is to look and see if the charging indicator on the phone is on. The wife loves it, but at least once a week she fails to plug it in properly and it does not charge. Personally, I just use the charging cord and be done with it. Also, our cats are always knocking the cradle off the nightstand. It works the way it should but bottom line it is a pain in the ass to get it to work properly.

sounds to me like its defective. I have owned many different receivers throughout the years, and never had that issue. Make sure you don't have any crossed/ touching bare speaker wires also. That can make it reset as a safety feature

I had the same problem. There was some speculation that it was due to overheating. Because of this and another problem I had with this receiver, I returned it and got a Pioneer unit that I am much happier with.

You're right! I noticed this as well and notified RCA/Audiovox after the update and they promised to check the firmware. It *is* an issue that they need to address it. The AM radio (which actually is a good receiver as portables go) will appear broken to many if they do not! BTW, despite these little glitches, this is still a killer product IMO.

I just experimented with this for you. You can answer the base unit without lifting the receiver by pressing a speaker phone button while the handsets are on their chargers. However, you can not do the same with the handsets (answer or speak on them with the handsets on their chargers). If the handset is in the cradle, it automatically hangs up.

Contact harmans customer service by phone, i found them very helpful the few times i did.. It could be a software update that you could do yourself or something small that an authorized repair center near you can for a lot less then the cost of a new receiver..good luck with it!

I have not had this problem. I do tend to try to stay away from the handset, or turn the cordless phone over so that room sounds are not picked up on that receiver. Hope that you can work it out!
