There is a slight white noise when the amp is turned all the way up. I compared it against just having my phone plugged in directly to the amp and this receiver was a bit louder than that white noise, but not much. It could be related to the cheap USB power I purchased to power this device - it comes with a USB cable, but no wall adapter.

I have Onkyo TX-SR805 7.1. I also have this hum. I've tries everything under the sun and nothing gets rid of it. I've isolated it to the receiver in a pain staking process of elimination. If anyone has a fix, I would be interested. I have to have to return it, because otherwise it is awesome. That hum is really beginning to get to my ear drums.

I have only done this with the transmitter set up to charge while playing and didn't notice any hum being picked up. I did have it charging off a plug-in adapter (versus being connected to a computer USB port). Just as a consideration, if this is how you intend to use the system on occasion, you might want to purchase higher amperage plug-in USB chargers ...most computer USB's put out very low amperage and if your using the system while it's charging there might not be enough amperage to do both (power the transmitter and charge the battery). Of the two components, the transmitter uses the most power and its power cell exhausts before the receivers.

Yes same thing happened to me. I ended up returning my unit. I went to the audio store to see if it happened to other units and it did. I would turn up the volume and the sound would cut out and not come back on unless I power cycled my head unit.

Having the same problem Herberto is having, where I hear the high pitched background noise and cyclic modulation, even if I turn the volume down to 0. Seems much worse when I try to use my AV sources rather than cable, though playing MP3s through the USB port sounds fine. Muting (compared to turning the volume down to zero) doesn't produce the noise, but unlike a bunch of people above, I didn't notice an improvement with my external speakers.

The only noise I hear is when you turn it on. Sometimes you will hear it interchange and sometimes you don't. If it has set off for a while it will make a loud click and hum but it goes away in a couple seconds. Other than that it does not make any sound that is noticeable.

Lucy, I found the source of my hum. I have Direct TV HD. I found that going into the menu settings/Audio/Sound Effects and turning that option off, I was able to rid myself of the annoying hum. The option has something to do with keeping the audio settings from channel to channel, while it is changing you hear dead air except for the hum. Nice and quit now. Love this receiver! Larry

Turned mine up to 55 which is about as loud as I can stand it, but heard no buzzing - even during an interlude. Have had no issues with the receiver.

Mine is quiet. You should not have noise. Turn volume down. See instructions.

Does the CD tray respond? Does it open when it is supposed to? If you move the tone arm off it's rest post does the turntable begin to turn? If so the unit is powered up. Is the source selection knob not working? I hope you have better luck than I did with the unit I bought, I was profoundly disappointed with mine. The 2-watts per channel audio output was a huge disappointment. You won't get any "thumping" bass our of this unit. It doesn't distort, but has the sound of a 50's vintage table radio.Good Luck

hi , i purchased it recently, i don't have humming or buzzing noise coming from a speaker. if you tell me more specific on when, how and what circumstances i'll try to help.

At low volumes it is not very noticable... but if you crank it up then turn off the source of the audio (like turning off your tv) leaving the sound bar on...then the hum is bad.

I heard a lot of noise as well, that is before i bought a dedicated audio interface, like an m-audio m-track, preSonus, focusrite, etc.. If you're not using one, then i'd say get that first. I have no noise now at all settings. From -30db, and i usually have my speakers set at the +6db and nothing. i'm also using the 1/4" to 1/4" plug into the balanced inputs. If you're using an audio interface, then i'd say call customer support and get it fixed.

I too have a hum at "quiet times". Which device menu are you referring to? The Onkyo Receiver or your Satellite Receiver?

Hi C.R. No mine is pretty quiet when using ear buds. Background noise can be a function of your antenna or local ambient electronic noise. Best way I know to check a receiver is to take it out in the country away from all of the electronic noise and power lines and turn the volume up and listen to it with no antenna. This should give you a good idea about the actual noise level of the radio.

It's dead silent. I have never heard any noise from it. I have two of them. Same result. Hope this helps.

Mine has zero noise. Try turning down the gain and put in on the clean channel. It should be silent (unless you have the volume way up). You may get some negligible noise on the crunch or overdrive especially if the gain is turned up. Read through the manual. Amazon should return if you have issues.
