My Onkyo DR-C500 was working and then we heard a big pop and it turned off.

Hello Todd, I would not suggest trying to repair this unit yourself. I suggest an authorized service but it might be difficult getting parts. Thank you, Onkyo USA

Hello Ole Soerensen,

After reading your Owners manual...

Looks like a beautiful piece of equipment... PAGE 17

**BIG HIGHLIGTHED BOX, Item numbered 2...

SPECIFICALLY States... Your REMOTE will ONLY work from
"STAND-BY" Mode (controlled by your power switch.

Check it out FROM Your factory specified remote...
(the only one you need to worry about)

• needs to be clean (Infra Red light)
• battery terminals clean
• batteries (type AA/R6/UM3) fresh

The remote works best 16 feet directly in front of the IR Sensir
located under the large knob on the right side of your unit
(+/- 30 degrees... away from bright light... and ALL obstructions).

Your unit must be away from strong light such as direct sunlight or inverted fluorescent light which can prevent proper operation of the remote controller.

Press "MODE AUDIO" first before operating the speaker
setting and sound related operations

Do get out your Onkyo DR-S2.0 owners manual (page 8) & read it (nothing magic).

Hope this is helpful.

Circuit board popped , replace with new one.

Replace the power supply board. You can get the replacement power board from www.tvrepairworld.com

If the stand by red light starts blinking after 4 seconds of switching On it indicates an output short circuit. In all probability one of the Amplifiers output stage is defective and to prevent speaker damage the protection circuit is getting activated in 4 seconds. You will need professional help to fix this.

Hello,
I had the same issue a long time ago and it turned out that the belt that drive the opening mechanism was slippery, Replacing the belt solved the issue.

You may try to gently help the drawer with you hands to see if the belt is only slippery or maybe is completely gone.

regards

Can't help you with the turning on problem, but the remote doesnt use codes to control other devices it learns the signals from that devices remote. heres a link to the users manual:

the programing procedure is on page 63

turn tv on picture comes up 2to3 seconds later tv blacks out then stand by red light flashes 4 times in a row repeatedly..can not turn on or off when stand by light starts flashing but before tv blacks out you can turn tv on and off repeatedly and picture and sound work.You have to unplug power cord for 30 seconds after stand by light comes on to get tv to turn on.

Onkyo units as well as several other manufacturers have a common problem where the spindle motor gets intermittant or wont come up to speed.Its not hard to replace this motor, but could be a trick to adjust the platter height. Also the unit probably needs a servo alighnment as well. This unit could also have a simple problem as a dirty laser lens. You can try to use a disc lens cleaner to see if that helps. Good Luck

Make sure all power connectors, cords and plugs are inserted securely and that the outlets are in good working order Be sure to select an audio source (CD, AM/FM, etc.) For powered systems, unplug the power pack for a few seconds, and then reconnect it. This allows the unit to reset itself after a power surge or power interruption. good luck!
