I ordered two and both of the receivers don't worked. Any thoughts on why would that be, or are they both just defective?

I bought two also and the both work fine. The second one is with a friend so I haven't tested whether or not they operate on the same frequency. If that is the case, one photographer may trigger the camera of the other, etc. Make sure you have your camera set to deal with a remote triggering device and it should work fine. At least mine did with a Nikon D800.

I purchased one about a year ago and it seems to be working just fine. I have not used it very much but it has worked every time I tried it.Doc

Mine work just fine. make sure you have followed the instructions about setting the "code". (mine are all set at 4) After plugging it into the camera, set the switch, extend the antenna and push the button to take the photo. On mine, I have to hold the button down for a second or so if I'm in the auto mode. I hope this helps.

Mine works perfectly. I would send the defective one back if you really cannot get it after following the instructions, and ask for a replacement; I'm sure they'd send you one...

Believe this receiver has two HDMI outputs. Maybe try the other one and make sure the correct output is selected. Did you try turning the receiver off to see if the HDMI signal goes through in pass through mode?

Sounds like the receiver and the remote are not communicating.Sorry I can not help...

Same issue here. I already sent one back to Onkyo for replacement, and the replacement does the same thing.

Yes and I had to use it so I tested the system :-} I actually really like this receiver but I was having some issues with it. I was too busy to deal with it within Amazons return policy window and ultimately got an RMA from HK. I shipped my old unit back and they gave me a brand new unit in exchange.

The unit could be bad. The first i bought was bad, it never had sound. I returned it and the second one works normal.

I'm running two receivers successfully. However, your transmitter may not be able to direct enough signal to all receivers if they're scattered in various directions. My two receivers are both on similar azimuth angles, but on different floors (different elevation angles). Fortunately, they're also relatively close to the transmitter, so it's working for me.

Thanks for the info. I ordered the unit and have owned it for about a week now. Appears to be a very good receiver.

Try and replacing the batteries in the receiver. I had to do that with mine after 3 overnight usages with my unit. The batteries that come with the unit may have been bad.

Hi Jennifer, Have you had any luck yet with your receiver? The Amazon web page asked me to reply. If you've fixed your problem then ignore my ramblings. So a few questions first off. Did the receiver work before and then just stop? Did you add new components or change any of your settings? Check those first. :) Maybe try to connect your devices directly to the tv to see if they still work. Good luck

I couldn't tell you what is wrong. Both of mine worked fine. Did you try taking one out and trying the other by itself by changing between channels. Did you check the batteries in it, change them just to see. Also reading through the feedback of others says that some people received a set where 1 worked and the other did not. If this is the case, I would contact the seller and tell them the problem. Nobody likes bad comments and you might get lucky and get a new one. Hope this helps.

You could try to update the firmware on your receiver, it worked for me. Very easy to do, but it ties up the receiver for an hour. See page 122 of the manual on how to do it. (https://docs.sony.com/release/STRDA5800ES_EN_FR.pdf)

I think you can find a better receiver for less than you'll pay for this one, do your research. I'm not very happy with the performace and the pirce I paid for it at the time, guess should done my homework and a leson learn for me. good luck.

Yes, I needed two extra receivers and had the same question, but could not find an answer, so I just ordered two additional receivers and hoped they would work or if they didn't I was going to send them back. Anyway, both the extra receivers did worked.

I wish I could help you but my receiver did not work long enough to answer that question. I was never able to get help for Onkyo or Amazon to get it fixed. It's been setting in my supply room over a year.
