For mine to turn off you must hold power button in until you hear it beep just as when you turn it on

It will only turn off when the shock piece is turned off. Mine has never gone off when pressed either. In the book it says the on/off button only makes the transmitter beep. Hope it helped you

You must first press the press the "AVR" button below the "Power On" Button, Then press the "Power Off" button... (I hope this helps :) , I had a bit of trouble at first but my old 20MkII was the same way _ because it is designed to control power for many devices separately you must tell it which one to power down )

When I received mine the receiver had batteries in it....however they were wrapped in plastic. I removed the plastic and reinserted the batteries and the indicator light came on.

I got a receiver also. This appears to be a common problem. Amazon - where are you?

just push the blue button and it will go off but so will the sound -- i don;t think you can just turn it off and continue getting sound out of it.. i don;t use mine anymore because, too much bass for me -- i just went back to my TV speakers

Sounds like a flaw in the remote's circuit board. The leftmost power button (red) should always turn the receiver on or off, even if you are using the universal remote function to control other components. I would contact Pioneer to get the remote exchanged. Hope this is helpful.

I held the play button which is the middle button down for about 4 seconds. You do the same thing to shut it off. When power I'd turned on or off you will see it blink red about 3 or 4 times. Good luck

Only the receiver has a off-on switch, the remote is on all the time. To get around this problem I take the batteries out when I'm done using the timer. But as far as I'm concerned this is no big deal.

If you turnt he unit off it stops blinking. But as long as it is on then it blinks.

When you press the receiver button on the remote, it doesn't turn the remote on or off, or actually change anything. It's the button you have to press before you use the numbered buttons on the lower half of the remote to switch between various sound and speaker features. It helps a lot to find the manual online, because it explains things much more thorougly.

Hold down the power button until the blue light goes off. The buttons are sort of stiff so it takes a marginal amount of effort.

Try turning on your TV first then the receiver. I have a Logitech harmony remote and originally had this problem. Once I changed the power on order from Reciver, Cable Box (HDMI), HDTV to HDTV, Cable Box(HDMI) Reciver it did not happen again. The issue was that the receiver could not detect the HDTV. I've also had this isssue when the HDTV was set to the incorrect input.

They power on/off together. There is a power connection from the AM21 to the receiver that I assume enables this.

I occasionally have that problem as well. I just pull the receiver out and turn the mouse off, and then put the receiver back in and then turn the mouse back on and it works fine.

Erratic behavior of this receiver is well known. Unfortunately, the unit may have one of the the known issues with the units produced in the "problem" production run. There is a factory recall program of this receiver from Onkyo. Check the following URL for your unit being covered: http://www.onkyousa.com/Support/service_info.php# My unit had several of these issues including intermittent powering off, no sound, frozen/locked, firmware update failure, the list goes on. Bottom line, check the website with your unit serial number and if covered, Onkyo will send you a postage paid box with packing instructions for your unit. If not covered, some troubleshooting suggestions are in the rear of the user manual (if you haven't tried swapping the TV back) . Most likely the unit will require some sort of repair.

Thanks very much to those who offered suggestions. Everything was fine with the wiring. A phone call to a Sony tech resolved the problem, which was found to be my selection of HDMI Passthrough to "ON". As such, the receiver remained partially powered in Standby and resulted in the hum. Re-selecting HDMI Passthrough to "OFF" cured the problem.
