I have an Onkyo TXSR605 HT receiver running two Ohm Walsh 2 (front L&R), no center, Tannoy subwoofer and two ceiling mounted Triads. Inputs include Roku, Cablevision box, Sonos, Wii, Android computer also used for media. I use Zone 2 for remote speakers (apart from those in the Sonos system).
I have hearing loss and would like to use my Sennheiser headphones while my wife and the rest of the family continue to enjoy the speakers. Since the headphone jack on the Onkyo TXSR605 cuts off the speakers. I added speaker wires to the same Onkyo speaker jacks serving the Ohm Walsh 2s end ended them with a 3.5mm jack to serve the Sennheiser. The Sennheiser is wireless (Infrared) and has its own volume control.
Fine except that from time to time, a significant change in sound volume in a film or show will force the Onkyo to turn off. I suspected it was somehow related to the load (Doesn't happen at low speaker volumes). Removing the headphone wiring proved that, but I need headphones to hear properly.
Is there a good work around? This may have been answered elsewhere.
Thanks,
Jerry
