      Michele ReedAug 28, 2025
      If you're experiencing no sound or very little sound from the center speaker of your Onkyo Receiver, check the speaker connections and ensure they are properly connected. Also, no sound is reproduced from the center speaker when the listening mode is 'Stereo' or 'Orchestra.' Ensure the volume level of the center speaker ('Center') is not set to minimum. Finally, verify that the selected speaker configuration includes the center speaker.

    Why is the brightness unstable or noise visible in the playback picture on my Onkyo DR-S2.0?
