Onkyo receiver question

Hello, Since the TX-SR502 does not have HDMI inputs you need to connect the HDMI from the XBox 360 to the TV. You can connect an optical cable from the XBox to the receiver if the XBox has an optical output. If not you can connect the optical out from the TV to the receiver. Connect to the optical #2 port on the receiver and press the video 2 button. You should have audio. Thank you, Onkyo USA

Unfortunately, the RC-771M remote doesn't control the TX-SR502. It will only work with these Onkyo models: TX-NR1008 and TX-NR808. The RC-567M is the one for the TX-SR502; replacement remotes that are exact replacements are still available from various places including Amazon.com .

Since the TX-SR502 was released in ~2004, that replacement remote probably won't control other devices that were released in 2004 or later. Onkyo changed its IR code programming before the TX-NR1008 was released in ~2010 and the RC-771M can't communicate with the older receiver. The manuals for the receivers listed above are still available from Onkyo on the product page under the Downloads tab.

I wish that I had better news for you.

Hi Mdensonjr, I see that this was posted in 2011 but well the speaker selector would be connected to the Front speaker terminals, Thanks, JT

If your remote also controls the Cable Box you might want to look at its audio settings. Maybe you muted it.

BTW: it would be a good idea to also run video and analog audio from the cable box directly to the TV if it has speakers so you can watch and listen independent of the Onkyo.

How you power off the amp won't hurt it generally. I used to fix ONKYO amps under warranty, and I can tell you now, it will be full of dry solder joints. Take you unit to your local repairer, and they will resolder all the offending PCB's inside. This type of repair will fix 99% of strange audio noises and cutting in and out etc. for ONKYO recievers. Otherwise this is quite a good product.

I have the same problem.It's definitely the pre-amplifier board (board with speaker terminals).I did not quite nail the exact component yet but I replaced with a working one and got back sound output.

The speaker impedance is not the problem.

you have to verify your connection cause if you are a short circuit in your different output or input the protection mode is on. it's an internal security
first disconnect all your output speakers, and restart your amplifier if the protection mode is on again try to disconnect all your input device and restart your amplifier, the protection mode should be off, so after connect one device after one to check who makes your protection mode on
;)

Sounds like you have the unit on ZONE 2 take it out of ZONE 2 to make other audio options available.
