Does anyone have the issue that Zone 2 shuts down the receiver after 20+ mins of playtime? It seems to overheat then shuts down the receiver!

I don't have this issue. However before you think something is wrong with your receiver be sure you go into the Receiver's Home Menu&gt;System Setup&gt;Other Setup&gt;Auto Power Down. Check and be sure that Zone 2 doesn't have it powering down after 30 min. If this feature is off or is set to power down after an hour or more then you might have an issue. Good Luck.

Zone 2 HD works for me without any problem. Even I've tried working on MAIN and Zone 2HD at once with different devices in each zone and no problem. Check where you have placed the reciver as it can be in a very closed which makes it warm and off

The first answer by Quido Sarducci is correct. The default playing time for Zone 2 is 30 minutes. I, too, thought I had an issue with my receiver when I first got it going. Follow the menu path he gives to change the Zone 2 time to longer, or disable power down all together. I changed mine from 30 minutes to 6 hours, as I have Zone 2 playing in my garage, so I want it to power off after a while in case I forget to turn it off manually.

I am pretty novice when it comes to audio technology. We had our system installed. I can't really tell you if it has two zones as I don't know what that means. The receiver has multiple channels which we programmed for tv, dvr, etc. The sound is really amazing. We are very satisfied. Hope this helps. Patti K

happened to me too...i contacted the seller and they told me that it usually shuts down if it over-heats and should work after some time...but that never happened to mine so i returned it and got a refund...

Personally im using dedicated receiver for my speakers outdoors with a Zone 3 line ran to it. I am using a dedicated receiver for the purpose of the "A" & "B" so that i can control two separate zones in my yard. Ex. Zone "A" is around the pool and Zone "B" is the BBQ lounging area and when we are having a party Zone's "A" and "B" at the same time. But these speakers do need a dedicated amp to run them but any amp with a minimum of at least 100 watts per channel will be ok. but it really comes down to how much you want to spend. Check out "Sony STRDH130 2 Channel Stereo Receiver" or even some cheap Pyle stereo amps here on amazon. Personally im using dedicated receiver for my speakers outdoors with a Zone 3 line ran to it.

For my other Onkyo receiver in order to get zone 2 to work, you must use an audio component wire connection (two wires typically one red one white) - not the HDMI. In my setup for example, I have all my devices connected into my TV (ROKU, cable, bluray) - including my receiver (ARC from receiver). I also ran the two wire audio component from my TV to my receiver. My zone 2 source is setup as TV - then whatever I watch on TV (ROKU, cable, bluray) is available through zone 2. In the receiver model I have I needed to select power zone 2 on in the Receiver menu also.

Yes, this is the way I use it. I use the surround sound inside and zone 2 is set up outside.

You are right, it is linked to the BD-Live option, but if you reset of inactivate BD-Live, it goes away. I have 2 player, the BDT215 and BD85K and I have no issues till date. The freezing, pixelating issue seems to be a disc issue. Some players can play slighly imperfect disc better. But this is possibly the best player on market currently.

I have had three onkyo recievers in the last 6 years..dont bother. The first one was great..the second lasted 2 years..the one I have now turns off every 15 minutes or LESS from heat build up. It is sitting in the OPEN shelf nothing around it!! I have to put a FAN behind the thing to keep it running. NO DUST, I have central AC that I keep at 68 ALL the time, and it sits not more than 2 feet from an AC outlet in my home. I will NEVER buy another Onkyo reciever..EVER. That is why I am here today..looking for ANYTHING ELSE. I spent a LOT of money on my systems over the years..and their product in MY OPINION just keeps getting WORSE. Do yourself a favor..get something else pal. Good luck to you.

This is also happening to me. I contacted Sony and he told me to power reset - take out battery and hold the power switch in off position for about 30-45 seconds. It seems to work temporarily. I still have the problem intermittently. Truthfully - I think it is a coincidence that it works. I actually think the connection in the swivel is bad. DON'T EVER hold the player by the extended screen. I'd be interested to hear if the power reset works for you. Also, try playing with the screen to reestablish a connection (my little theory).

I have not come across that problem yet. we have had no reason to shut it down, and have had no loss of power due to outages. when this was installed for me in a large walk-in cooler, wine cooler, it took one month with the manufacturer to be up and running. Your best bet is to just email to the manufacturer. I worked with them on and off for a month making adjustments and they were absolutely phenomenal to work with.I think the coolbot was an excellent investment. you just need the right system to pair it with. again manufacture of was key with that.

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!

I have a BDT220 model with the same problem. That was really annoying. But out of curiosity I downloaded the latest firmware last night (10/13/2012). It seems have fixed the problem.Now it resumes playing without asking, even after a power off.

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.

Wow, I would contact wildgame innovations .Mine is working great. it has an auto shutoff that turns it off 30 secs after I stop using it. Maybe some malfunction. I the battery old?

I had the same problem. There was some speculation that it was due to overheating. Because of this and another problem I had with this receiver, I returned it and got a Pioneer unit that I am much happier with.

Hey Pugh, let me know if you have any of the compatibility issues I've had. You're using the Xbox Slim, and I'm thinking of upgrading to one especially if it works better with this reciever. Does your Xbox 360 turn off by itself everytime you switch to another input on your receiver?I'm using a Samsung LCD HDTV and if I'm the only one having these issues then maybe the TV is actually the culprit
