    Receiver problem...Making Fuzzy noises on the Right Front Channel

    Hello Sergio! First of all is your receiver close to a television set? It may be static electricity causing your problem. Processors are very sensitive to static electricity. If this is the problem all you have to do is move your receiver or tv further away. Then shut your receiver off and turn...

    So what's wrong with my TV?

    Try disabling "auto colour" in your tv menu if you have it. I find when watching dvd's "auto colour" can do a bad job with the colour. Best of luck. Kernel.

    "Upgrade" from Panasonic SA-HE100K to Onkyo TX-DS777?

    Hello John. The Onkyo TX DS777 was a great receiver back in the day. I have an Integra DTR 7 which is the same thing but with a few extra features and gold plated ins and outs. It puts out pretty good power, even in the 5-channel mode. There is actually a review of the receiver in an old issue...

    Def Tech PF 15TL+

    Yes the PFTL 15+ is a great sub for the money. This sub really puts out strong bass. Great for a larger room. My receiver is connected to its LFE connection, which bypasses the sub's crossover. The gain on the sub is only at 1/3 and all of the controls to the counter-clockwise position. If this...

    Monitor Audio

    I love mine also, I have a pair of silver 5's and the stereo image projected from these speakers is just awesome. The more you push them, the better they sound. The build quality is also top-notch. Best of luck with your choice.

    My Onkyo TX-SR600 Won't Play In Surround Mode- HELP!

    Hello William! The reason your system will not play in the surround mode is because you have the "speaker B" engaged. You have to disengage "speaker B" for your surround modes to work. The "speaker B" connection should only be for remote speakers in another room, or if you are listening to two...

    narrowed it down to these recievers- which is best?

    Yamaha makes some great stuff, but when it comes to service, good luck. So if something goes wrong with the receiver, you will have problems getting assistance. Do as much research as you can and you're sure to be satisfied. Best of luck...

    Integra/Onkyo Auto Detecting

    Hey Mike, try going into your set-up menu. Try changing your digital input to "digital", or if it is already on "digital", try changing it to "automatic". You may also have more than one input associated with your optical cable. Make sure your digital inputs are assigned to their proper devices...

    My subwoofer will not turn on!

    You might have just blown the fuse in the back of the sub. There should be a screw-in fuse in the back of your sub, just replace the fuse with the same type. Make sure everything is unplugged before you begin. Hope that's all it is...good luck Ryan.

    Onkyo TX-NR801 what seems to be the problem?

    Your best bet would be to set it back to the 8 ohm setting because setting to the 4 ohm setting just limits your power output.(not good) Get yourself a nice, quiet little fan and place it behind your receiver. You can plug it in to the back of the receiver so when you power it up it comes on...

    20-25 Hz

    Most movies are recorded in the 25Hz - 62Hz frequency for effects, but there are some that go down to 20Hz. There are subs that claim that they go down to 20Hz but they will not play loudly at that frequency, so explosions and depth charges won't play as loud and as accurate as they should. The...

    12 gauge OK for 60 Foot Speaker Wire Runs?

    Cinema Filter in onkyo/integra

    Yes, if the DVD is recorded in THX I will use the cinema eq setting, which is it's intention. It cuts out a lot of the harshness you get from the front channels. Great receiver...Ken

    Subwoofer wiring

    Dan is right, the only thing that connecting to both L & R jacks is give you a better signal for your on/off function.

    Is using front channel pre outs better than using LFE output?

    How' it going? If your receiver has a LFE output, then you should definitely use that, even if you have two subs you can connect them with a y-connector. Sometimes its better to run a single cable from your receiver's LFE and split the signal at the end of that cable using a Y-connector and...

    Receiver to Subwoofer Connection Question

    If you are only hooking up one component video device I would definitely hook the dvd player directly to the tv. The shorter the path the better the signal. All digital connections can be made to the receiver...have a good one!

    Sub question

    All channels set to small and all LFE's will be sent to the subwoofer. If you have a sub with a bypass or LFE connection, use that connection. This way you are using the filter in your receiver and not both. Set the frequency on the sub until you get a nice blend with your main speakers usually...

    Onkyo 601 + S&V - Possible to use test tones on DVD instead of receiver's?

    Run your S&V calibration disc and record the channel levels, then run your test calibration through your receiver and match it to the levels you recorded with your S&V disc. You'll need a sound meter to do your calibrations...have a good one.

    Looking for input on my Sub options..

    The Onkyo TX-DS777 is a great receiver, I have the Integra DTR-7. If you are more concerned with watching movies I would go with a sub that has a 12" driver and at least 100 watts opposed to an 8" one. It should fill the room easily. 10" drivers are fine also, especially with music, nice tight...

    Controlling AV receiver volume via the TV remote

    Your t.v. should have an Audio-to-HiFi analog connection. I have a Hitachi t.v. myself and it has one. Go in the menu and deselect internal speakers. Hook rca cables from the t.v. to an audio connection from the video input you are using for your t.v. Set your receiver's volume at a moderate...
