If your Onkyo Receiver doesn't switch on, first check the power cord connection. If the power cord is correctly connected, external noise might be interfering with the receiver's circuits. Try disconnecting the power cord and then reconnecting it.
What to do if there is no sound from my Onkyo HT-R8230?
If no sound is reproduced from your Onkyo Receiver, first, ensure that the muting function is deactivated. Check all connections to the receiver to ensure they are properly connected. Verify that the input selector is set to the correct input source. If headphones are connected, decrease the volume and then disconnect them. Finally, if the input signal format is set to “PCM” or “DTS”, change it to “Auto”.
Why does my Onkyo Receiver shut off immediately after powering on?
If your Onkyo Receiver powers off immediately after being turned on, the amplifier protection circuitry has been activated. Contact your Onkyo Service Center for assistance.
What to do if no picture appears on the TV screen with my Onkyo HT-R8230 Receiver?
If no picture appears on the TV screen when using your Onkyo Receiver, ensure the TV is set to the AV receiver’s input. Also, check that the video cable is securely connected between the receiver and the TV. If you're only using an S video connection, add a video connection as well, and verify both the TV’s video input and the receiver’s output signal.
Why are the buttons on my Onkyo HT-R8230 Receiver and remote not working?
If the buttons on your Onkyo Receiver's remote controller and the receiver itself do not operate, power supply fluctuations or abnormalities like static electricity might be interrupting its operation. Disconnect the power cord, and then reconnect it.
What to do if Onkyo Receiver buttons work but the remote doesn't?
If the buttons on your Onkyo Receiver operate, but the buttons on the remote controller do not, make sure you are pressing the appropriate mode control button. Check for inserted batteries or replace the old batteries with new ones. Ensure that you are pointing the remote controller at the remote sensor of the AV receiver and you are within 16 feet (5 m) of the AV receiver.
Why is there no sound from the center speaker on my Onkyo HT-R8230 Receiver?
If you're experiencing no sound or very little sound from the center speaker of your Onkyo Receiver, check the speaker connections to ensure they are properly connected. Note that no sound is produced from the center speaker when the listening mode is set to “Stereo” or “Orchestra.” Adjust the volume level of the center speaker if it is set to minimum. Also, verify that the selected speaker configuration includes the center speaker.
Why is there no sound from the subwoofer on my Onkyo HT-R8230 Receiver?
If you're getting no sound or very low volume from the subwoofer connected to your Onkyo Receiver, check the subwoofer mode setting and make sure it is properly configured and not set to “Off”.
Why is sound not being recorded from my Onkyo Receiver?
If you are hearing sound from the speakers connected to your Onkyo Receiver but it is not being recorded, it might be because the sound system you are trying to record is DTS or Dolby Digital surround. In this case, make an analog connection.
How to reduce hum noise on my Onkyo HT-R8230?
If you are experiencing hum or low-frequency noise with your Onkyo Receiver, adjust the placement of the audio connection cables on the rear panel to reduce hum.
