need help with my onkyo receiver (1 Viewer)

[rmjm2005]

I have a Onkyo TX-SR505

my receiver won't shut off with the power button on remote nor does it shut down with on/ off button on the receiver......just stays on. None of the buttons will work when pressed on the receiver even the volume knob.

heres what i done so far. I changed batteries on remote....i've unplugged receiver and plugged it back in ..still no change.

did you try to press the receiver button first before turning it off or on?

always turned it off using remote. Not sure if theres a freeze feature on the receiver (lost my manual). gf said she dusted the receiver that afternoon,

You should leave the receiver un-plugged for 30 minutes or so before plugging it back in again. You could also try a factory reset by holding down the VCR/DVR button and pressing the STANDBY/ON button.

It won't allow a direct link to the manual but it can be found on Onkyo's website. Here's a link to the download center. Just look for the model number.

tried unplugging the receiver for 30 minutes didnt work. just came back on with same settings. couldn't do the factory settings because the buttons are not responding.

I was afraid of that. Don't know what else to tell ya. I can't imagine dusting the top had anything to do with it. Just one of those things. Sorry my ideas didn't work .

googled the problem i have and found that it does happen to other onkyo receivers. Unplugging the receiver for few minutes does help....but mine is being stubborn.

thanks for your help

Hi Richie, I'm having the same problem with my Onkyo TX-SR706. Did you get yours to work? John

short version: front panel connector or cable? see https://forums.tomsguide.com/threads/onkyo-tx-nr808-a-v-receiver-problem.233345/#post-1072940 "I got mine fixed. . .supposedly a known issue with all the "8" series systems. . ."

details: Similar problem on a TX-8050. The person mentioned above ("I got mine fixed") got it fixed a long time ago, under warrantee, when the unit was new.

Power cycling (even with a long turn-off) doesn't help. The weird thing is that it doesn't totally fail to respond to the front panel - sometimes I click a button and it responds seconds/minutes/hours later, in a totally unpredictable, inconsistent way. But the power button is definitely less likely to respond than some of the other front panel buttons/knobs.

In a software sense, it seems like the input event queue is jammed up. It seems to be weather related. It was fine for years, started misbehaving last summer, I think, was fine through the late fall, winter and early spring. I upgraded the OS last year (it took many attempts to get it into upgrade mode, but I finally did) and it was fine for a while. First warm, humid day in spring it started acting up again.

I think it's reasonable to suspect that something's monopolizing the CPU when this happens (but this is hardly the only possibility). A flaky connection or switch that's temperate/humidity dependent might do this, but there are many other potential causes.
