when monitoring through the receiver is it supposed to be in mono or stereo? mine are coming through in mono. Can anyone help?

I think what you are looking at on the receiver is not a stereo signal. It is the AF & RF signal strength. It might look like it's coming through as a mono signal, but that is just an indicator of signal strength. Here is a good link to explain: https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/30/866075

Yes it's supposed to be mono. If you don't hear audio in both sides of your head phones then the cable other headset has issues. It would be helpful to know what you are sending the receiver audio to. Zoom h4n, dslr, a recording device?

It looks like a stereo earphone plug but it's tip ring sleeve mono. Headphones won't work right.

This is a mono hook up to send one mono source signal to two separate mono inputs like the XLR L or R input on two different speakers. You would need a second patch cable to handle the other channel. It does not combine signals to make a stereo signal. It is mono in, mono out, either way the signal is flowing.

Use a splitter my receiver only has one pre out for my sub so when I placed the order I also got that as well. The splitter was a recommendation when I was looking at the sub and from what I was told when I was looking around it helps with the signal. This sub really hits nice and clean hope this answers the question

That guy who comment first is using computer speaker but if you have av receiver and want to listen 5.1 ch or 7.1 ch through optical line. it only output 2.1 stereo

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 had the same issue. It's preset for surround sound. If you change the # of speakers in output you will get sound. It's in the manual. (You can also google the manual)

It broadcasts a stereo signal so long as the source is stereo, though I have had it fade to mono if I get to far away from the receiver (150ft+ in most cases)

That same thing bugs me too during games so I switch the listening mode settings to "All Ch Stereo." I like the way it sounds a lot better. They're not filming the games in surround sound so it sounds better in stereo.

Your receiver should support ARC (Audio Return Channel), make sure it is enable on the receiver. That's how the sound from my over the air tv get's back to the receiver

I do not actually have this receiver. but, now that that is out of the way, thought i still might be able to help. generally, the protection circuitry shuts the unit down when there is a problem with speaker wiring, like a short or miswire, that's what i would check first, another possibility is you have a damaged cable, like the hdmi is messed up internally, try swapping in a different cable after you check the speaker wires. hope this helps!

I hooked mine up to my surround sound system, but unfortunately the sound only came through one speaker. Hope you have better luck.

1) is your machine turned on?2) is the volume on the machine turned up?3) is your signal flow correct? (out of machine to in on amp)4) are you using a mono or stereo 1/4"? if so what output did you use?

Your source of audio needs to be sent as mono... I do mastering work and I set my last limiter to sum it up all to a mono signal (temporarily in order to check mono compatibility). The reason why some elements are gone is because precisely they are in the stereo spectrum (such as panned gtrs). When switched to mono, it will bring them into one single channel, and therefore make it sound in the mono domain. Mono compatibility is extremely important in mastering as you want to make sure your audio will play properly in ANY audio set up applications (from mono kitchen radios to hifi speakers, pro live sound and everything in between).

I have the same setup... mine go into protection mode immediately if the volume is above around the 25 setting. Thats about 65 decibels. Guess Im looking for a new receiver unless anyone has an idea.

I remember having that issue when I first hooked mine up as well. I think the source for your audio on the TV is messed up. Make sure you have audio coming out of the TV and not through a receiver or make sure the receiver will play the audio. I have to turn off my TV speakers in order for the audio to play tthrough an external source.

run it through a splitter, OR get an external mixer with multiple outs. thx!

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
