      First, ensure that the input selector on your Onkyo Receiver is set to the correct position for the terminal your TV is connected to. If you still have no sound and your TV does not support the ARC function, connect the TV and the receiver using a digital optical cable or an analog audio cable in addition to the HDMI connection.

      Latasha ThompsonAug 25, 2025
      Your Onkyo Receiver may be turning off unexpectedly because the "Auto Standby" feature is activated in the Setup menu. The unit automatically enters standby mode if this setting is enabled. Alternatively, the protection circuit function may have activated due to the unit overheating. Ensure sufficient ventilation around the unit and allow it to cool down before turning it on again.
