Why is there no sound from my Onkyo DV DV-SP405?
- D
  David ObrienAug 21, 2025
  There could be several reasons for the lack of sound. First, check that the '96 kHz PCM Out' setting is not set to “96kHz”; if it is, change it to “96kHz > 48kHz”, or use analog connections. Also, ensure that the 'Digital Out' setting is set to 'On'. Verify that the correct input source is selected on your TV, hi-fi amp, or AV receiver, and that the audio cable is properly connected. Make sure your TV, hi-fi amp, or AV receiver are turned on and the volume is appropriately adjusted. Check the 'Digital Audio Out' settings and correct them if necessary. Finally, confirm that playback is not paused; if it is, resume playback.

  If your Onkyo DVD Player isn't turning on, first ensure the power cord is securely connected to a working wall outlet. If it's still not working, the issue might be external interference affecting the player's digital circuitry. Try turning the player off, waiting five seconds, and then turning it back on. If that doesn't work, disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet, wait five seconds, reconnect it, and try turning it on again.

What to do if Onkyo DVD Player remote isn't working?

  Jacqueline AdamsAug 25, 2025
  If the buttons on your Onkyo DVD Player remote aren't working, start by checking the batteries. Ensure that there are batteries in the remote, that they aren't flat, and that they are installed correctly. Also, make sure you're pointing the remote at the DVD Player's remote sensor and that you're not too far away (the remote has a range of approximately 5 meters). A strong light source might be interfering with the sensor, so ensure the DVD Player isn't in direct sunlight or under inverter-type fluorescent lights. If the DVD Player is in a cabinet with colored glass doors, try opening the doors or using a cabinet without colored glass.

Why won't my Onkyo DV DV-SP405 start playback?

  Michael JamesAug 27, 2025
  If your Onkyo DVD Player won't start playback, there are several potential reasons. First, ensure that a disc is loaded correctly, with the correct side up and centered in the disc tray. The disc might be incompatible, so use only compatible discs. If the disc uses parental lock, turn off the “Parental Lock” function. Also, if the DVD-Video disc is intended for use in another region and the region number on the disc does not match the region number on the DV-SP405, the disc can’t be played. Finally, the disc might be dirty, so remove the disc and clean it.

  If you're experiencing picture instability or noise with your Onkyo DVD Player, it could be due to the player being connected to your TV via a VCR or other video equipment. A copy-protection system might be affecting the picture. Try connecting the DVD Player directly to your TV.

  If you're experiencing unstable brightness or a noisy picture with your Onkyo DVD Player, it could be because the player is connected to your TV via a VCR or other video equipment, and a copy-protection system is affecting the picture. Try connecting the DVD Player directly to your TV. Another possibility is that your TV doesn’t support progressive scanning, in which case you should reset the DVD Player to its initial settings.

  If the picture appears stretched or the wrong shape on your Onkyo DVD Player, the “TV Screen” setting might be incorrect. Set the “TV Screen” setting to match the aspect ratio of your TV.

Why doesn't my Onkyo DVD Player save settings?
- J
  Jennifer HendersonSep 5, 2025
  If your Onkyo DVD Player isn't saving settings, it could be due to a power failure or the power cord being disconnected. Any settings will be lost in these cases. Before disconnecting the power cord, set the DVD Player to Standby by pressing the [STANDBY/ON] button, and wait until “OFF” has disappeared from the display. Also, keep in mind that new settings made in the Setup screen menus while a disc is playing are ineffective until the disc is stopped and restarted: Press [STOP] button, then start playback again.
