Yes I had the same problem, I had mine for 23 months when mine went out. Mine was still under warranty so I went to Onkyo website and was able to send mine in for free repair. Got it back and have had no problems so far.

Yes I had the same problem, but I herd mine go out with a loud noise. I shipped it to a authorized repair source. It was 2 years 3 months old. Out of warranty ,this should last much longer. The mother board went out. $140 for a new part. plus shipping both ways. New their $400 I thought it was worth it.

Sounds like the hdmi board went out this is a common problem contact onkyo they usually do a one time fix as this was a defect just do a Google Search you will find alot of these had this problem.

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.

Onkyo now has a program where they will fix this issue of no sound. Mine just died after only 1-1/2 years. Here's the web link: https://repair.onkyousa.com/na/003_2012.php?country=USA#serialModal

Mine is September 2010 also. What I did last night was pull the TV back out of the box and hook it back up in our room. In complete silence, I can hear a slight noise when the volume level is between 1-2. If I put it on 0, I hear nothing and anything above 2 I hear nothing. This is a gift for my son for Christmas. Once it's actually up in his room and has been used for a couple days I will check it again. What kind of connections are yall using?

Hello out there!I was wondering if anyone else has had any problems with this Yamaha receiver RX-V665!!! My unit shuts off when I increase the volume and when I use the speaker optimizer. The manual and "Yamaha Live" techs attribute this to my speaker connections. I have checked and rechecked, cut, twisted and tightened my connections over the past 3 months with no results. My older JVC receiver runs my speakers just fine. I recently was sent a replacement receiver and the problem persists. Are these receivers useless??

There is a recall by Onkyo. Go to their website and see if you qualify: http://www.onkyousa.com/Support/service_info.php

ANY info or input on properly setting up ZONE 2 on any Onkyo receiver would be helpful. I cannot get sound from my outdoor speakers. Volume control on receiver when in Zone 2 reads 00 and will not adjust. HELP!

@ Art.M, TX-NR 818 HDMI handshaking issue happens sometimes if you are using a cheapest HDMI cables or not properly connected between T.V and the receiver, before i bought my Onkyo tx-nr818 i have also a YAMAHA 7.1 receiver that have a fix firmware (theres no way to update) that also had HDMI handshaking issue with my two television but when i used a brand name HDMI cable(not really expensive) the problem gone, that i also did on my Onkyo 818, and look for the latest firmware update, hope this may help you..

The quality of Onkyo product has declined appreciably in the last couple of years. I know this from personal experience with my NR909 which required 2 HDMI board replacements within 9 months. From a purely "technical specs" point of view, yes the specicifcations of the receiver and the JBL speakers are well matched.

I have no idea how a refurbished unit would be. Is it coming direct from Onkyo? Does it have a warranty? If so, I'd give it a shot. This is a really nice receiver. I love mine!

As of today's date, the HDMI issue has not been resolved by SONY. My recommendation is to look elsewhere for a receiver. I understand from research that ONKYO had a similar problem very early in 2013. However, the difference appears to be that ONKYO has resolved the problem. I returned my SONY 1040 and purchased ONKYO 626. A bit less power, however, I can watch TV without unplugging the receiver every few days just to get it to work.

Just saw a youtube video of a guy baking the HDMI board. The commentators claim it works. Not for the faint of heart, though. I have the same issue. Will try with Onkyo first to see if they agree to repair it. If not, I'll bake the board. What's the worse that could happen?

Hello and thanx for your reply. Yes, Zone 2 is active. I just need to know what kind of connections for audio from DirecTV receiver to Onkyo receiver. What I have tried hasn't worked. I know it is analog sound only out of Zone 2. Going to contact Onkyo and see if I have any luck.

I had a similar issue and eMailed ONKYO support with an explanation and request for an out of warranty repair. They approved my request because the problem was a bad HDMI board, which is a known issue. Good Luck.

I personally have not experienced this. So far. However I have noticed that sometimes the sound just stops working. It seems to be random and infrequent, but it's definitely an annoyance. Turning off the system and then turning it back on solves the problem, so far, but as you know this setup is not a speed demon and it's a PITA. Does all Samsung tech have a mind of its own? A slightly demented mind?

Hello, well, that just happened to me, it was working fine until one day I couldn't turn it on at all. There is one thing the makers of this Soundbar forgot and that is : Manual Controls. Somewhere in the Bar should have the Controls so, in cases like this, the owner could turn the Bar on and manipulate the Volume, Bass and Treble and the other Features. I called Philips and they sent me a new Remote Control but, unfortunately didn't work. In my opinion due to the fact that the Circuitry inside is very Sensitive any Fluctuation in the Electrical Current like a Sudden Blackout, etc. could damage the inner system. I don't remember having in my neighborhood any Blackouts but anything is possible. I notified Philips concerning the outcome of the new Remote Control so they advised me to let Amazon know my situation. Amazon did a good response, something I am very grateful. Thank you. Joe.

They have a program setup for this issue. They will repair it for free or give you a $100 rebate to buy a different Onkyo receiver. https://repair.onkyousa.com/na/
