      If you cannot access the network with your Onkyo Receiver, try unplugging and plugging back in the unit or the wireless LAN router, or check that they are powered on. If the desired wireless LAN router is not in the access point list, it may be set to hide SSID or the ANY connection may be off. Change the setting and try again.

    Why is there no sound for multi-zone function on my Onkyo Receiver?
    • R
      Rebecca DunnAug 21, 2025
      Multi-zone output is not possible if the connection is only with digital optical cable or digital coaxial cable. When you connect a CD player or such other player without HDMI output jack, connect it to the analog audio input jacks of the unit. In case of analog connection, analog audio output setting may be necessary on the player.
