What to do if my Onkyo TX-DS494 has power but no sound?
- A
  Angela JohnsonAug 14, 2025
  If your Onkyo Receiver powers on but produces no sound, the issue might stem from several causes. First, ensure the turntable stylus tip is clean. If the MUTING indicator is flashing, deactivate it by pressing the MUTING button on the remote controller. Check that the treble control isn't set too high. Also, verify all connections and speaker leads are properly connected. If “PROTECT” is displayed, the amplifier protection circuitry has been activated, and you should contact your Onkyo Service Center.

  Allison BowmanAug 25, 2025
  If you're not getting any sound or very minimal sound from the center speaker of your Onkyo Receiver, first check the connection between the receiver and the speaker. If the listening mode is set to STEREO or ORCHESTRA, the center speaker outputs only the effect sound. If the speaker configuration is set to 2 ch or 4 ch, set it to 3 ch or 5 ch.
