Onkyo receiver will not start - episode 2

Kay got another Onkyo TX-SR607. This receiver will not start properly. It starts up for a few seconds and go back to standby and indicating error with a blinking stand by light.
In this episode Kay will try to fix the errors he located the previous episode.

Thank you for this repair video. I’m new to this kind of repair. I appreciate all the small details you show and advice you offer while repairing this amplifier.

The trick to getting a screw right down in there is to attach a neodymium magnet to the shaft of your screwdriver, and then the screw will stay stuck to your screwdriver while you guide it into its hole. My one had the blank display problem, which was due to the 2.2 Ohm resistor feeding the display going high due to heat from the power amplifier transistors nearby. I replaced the resistor with a higher wattage one, and it is working well now!

I have the HT-R550, When I turn it on, the display works fine, after just a few minutes, the displays turn off, but the amplifier still is turned on and working apparently fine. Is there anything else I can do besides replacing the 2.2 ohm resistor? Is it somehow degraded? Never had that problem before.

Awesome videos. I have a very similar model Onkyo the 707 that Onkyo fixed out of warranty by years when the HDMI switching went bad. It's still going strong to this day but I added a fan to keep it cool especially when I use it for a long time. It's nice to see what's actually inside these units from videos like this.

In the drawn pictures of the transistors, you have the oppositely marked PN terminals of the transistor. An NPN transistor (in order = k, b, e) is to be denoted by the transition N (k) P (b) N (e). The PNP transistor has it exactly the other way around, i.e. in the order k-b-e it is a PNP.

You are correct. And I did correct that just a little later in the video.

THANKS!! I enjoyed that here on the island of Bermuda.

Good work it can be hard at reppair.

Dobra robota! Mam podobny problem w moim Onkyo tx-nr609. Jestem w trakcie naprawy. Dzięki za film. Pozdrawiam

Welcome to my channel 😊

Great work!!! Thank's!!!

Thanks for this video. Hopefully you can provide a suggestion for me. I've had two Onkyos receivers (HT-S3500, HT-S3910). One lasted 4 years and the other one less than 2. One turned on, but didn't give audio. The other one didn't turn on at all. Then I bought a Pioneer receiver (VSX-534) and it didn't even last a year before it shut down and never turned on back again. The reason why I bought Onkyo and Pioneer, is because the remote controller has an option to increase the volume of the voices in movie. That's a super useful option and I haven't seen that option in the controller from other receivers. Maybe other brands do have that option, but I haven't seen it by looking at screenshots. So my question to you is, which receiver should I buy that won't die so easily? What brand manufactures good receivers at an affordable price? Something that's under $400, if possible. Thanks.

[@anatticinnorway2883]

Thank you for your comment and question. I’ve been thinking. If your receivers die this fast, then there is possible something wrong in your speaker setup. I will advise you to check your speaker impedance in regard to recommendations for the receiver. Because no receiver is to did this fast.

[@reyvgm]

@@anatticinnorway2883 Thanks for the reply. I'm not very knowledgeable about these things. By impedance you're mean that the speakers might be too "powerful" for the receiver? With the 3rd receiver (the Pioneer one), the speakers I was using belong to the 2nd Onkyo. I did buy a powered subwoofer because the pioneer receiver didn't have the "home theater in a box" capabilities of the onkyos. Other than that, I don't know how to check the impedance or how everything is supposed to be compatible with each other. Do you have a video about how to properly select speakers and subwoofer for a standalone receiver?

thanks for your efforts

[@Luke-12V]

Hi,verry good ,thanx

[@lennardvirajjayasekara2484]

Like everyone commented thank you so very much for this ...but can you explain on Why are you not using a Hot air gun for the removal ? it would be more convenient ...

[@anatticinnorway2883]

Thank you for your comment. The reason I’m not using hot air gun for removal, is because I feel I have better control using my Weller soldering station. It’s only my personal preferences.

[@veesamsivateja6618]

Hii sir I am from India I am also buy onkyo reciver They have same start up problem like ( NG :C ) What is the solution sir could u explain please

[@anatticinnorway2883]

Hello. If it switches right over to protect, its probably an error in either the preamp or power amp. Follow my leads as I did in the video to locate bad transistors. As an example.

[@user-ic4mn6ve5s]

Не работает???!!Выкинь и не парься!!!😮😊

[@anatticinnorway2883]

Imagine how the world would look like, if we disposed everything which did not work 🙃
