Question about Onkyo HT-SR800 System

2 Answers

Surround sound I just bought the HT-SR800 but I am only getting sound from the front speakers when I use the FM or AM radio. I am only hearing the front speakers when using an older CD player. When the system went through the automatic setup, I heard the test sound go to each of the 7 speakers. Right now I have speaker set A chosen.

I had same problem with an Onkyo. Turned out I had inadvertantly selected the wrong FM tuning mode - pressed the button to get back to auto - and then the surround processing sent a signal to the back speakers.

It must be about the sound quality need of your amplifier. The sound processor simply needs to get clear signals from sources such as fm/am receiver, dvd/cd players etc. in order to manage'em to give you the optimum surround sound. If the fm receiver has an "FM MUTE" option, I recommend that you turn it on. By doing so, you'll receive only good quality fm stations, furthermore your amplifier will let you get surround sound. The second issue you mentioned has its own answer inside. Use a "new" cd player, you can get optical cables, digital coax cables to improve the performance if you like..

When listening to the fm tuner on my yamaha htr 6060, will all 7 speakers still make sound? i' having trouble getting sound from the other speaker connections other than the L and R front connection.
analog fm is broadcast in stereo you would need to use a simulated surround setting to have sound come out of your rear and mid surround speakers.
your manual says the default setting for fm broadcast is:
Radio Listening TUNER MUSIC ENHANCER
7ch Enhancer
 Select this SCENE template when you enjoy FM or AM
radio programs.
make sure you unit is not in straight mode try pushing the straight button on the front of the receiver let us know if more troubleshooting is needed.

Cheers!

Toslink and 7.1 surround
For you to process 7.1 you need another pair of speakers. Your setup is 5.1 If you want to see some different 7.1 setups just google images of 7.1 speaker setups. Seeing it it easier than explaining it. Hope this helps

ONKYO HT-S780 B SPEAKERS
Your symptom sounds as though you may have to turn off any surround sound settings that you have selected in the other modes.

Most amplifiers use the surround portion of the amplifier to power the B channel speakers.

Since you have sound when using the radio portion, I would try turning off the surround mode. For example try turning the amplifier to just stereo and see if that gets the B channel speakers to work

I hope this information allows you to resolve this issue.

Onkyo HT-SR800 the surround speakers are not blasting
I had the same problem and fixed it by manually setting the surround speakers changing the Level Cal to +12dB. You will immediately notice a significant increase in volume and may need to back down on the dB's. What a diffence it makes!

Cutting off and stayin in Stand by mode
To me it sounds like you might have blown a channel(s). The speakers that you are using with unit, did they come with it? If not you need to check the ohms of the speakers. It looks like the Onkyo HT-SR800 can only handle a minimum of 8 ohms. If your unit is under warranty definately send it in for repair

Only one surround back speaker works
It sounds to me like one of your speakers may be mis-wired. Try reversing the speaker wire (don't switch right-for left, but switch negative for positive) and see if that changes anything.

Hooking up Wii System to HT-SR800 I have the cable system and dvd hooked through HDMI and they work fine. I added a Wii console and following the instructions per Onkyo, attaching the system via the auxillary jacks in the front of the amplifier. I've selected AUX on the amplifier but am getting no video or sound. I can hook the Wii directly to the TV and get both video and sound so I know the Wii is working. Do I need to configure the Auxilary channel on the Onkyo? Do I need an additional connection from the Onkyo to the TV or is the HDMI out cable enough? If I need an additional connection from the Onkyo to the TV, which jacks should I use? Thanks
