Onkyo SR502 Shuts off by itself

My Receiver shuts off by itself. It will stay on for a couple of seconds and shut off. I was able to get it to stay on but it sounded awful and it got uncontrolanbly loud. I went to turn the volume knob and it shut off immediatly. What is wrong with my baby? How much will it cost to fix? A friend of mine thinks it's a blown fuse, is that true? Thank you in advance!

It will stay on for a couple of seconds and shut off. How long did your amp stay On?
3 seconds (DC protect) OR immediately shut down (Over Current protect)? How to confirm?
1.Unplug the amp.
2.Remove the metal cover.
3.You will see a long vertically installed pre-amp board mounted next to those large power transistors fixed by 12 screws on a large aluminium heat sink.
4.Remove this long vertically installed board mounted by 2 screws.
5.With 2 screws removed, just pulling this board out and hold it with one hand.
6.Plug the amp and switch it on.
7.If your amp stays ON forever, the problem is from this long board.
8.If switch off at once, the problem is from power amp board.
Try the above-mentioned steps. I will tell you what to do next.

I went to turn the volume knob and it shut off immediatly. Of course, VOLH is too high.

It is not a blown fuse. Your baby is in its ***** throes! It is fubar. You have either a damaged power supply or blown output stages (since sounds horrible it is probably this).

SOURCE: Onkyo TX-SR502 protection mode

Hello! One of the channels in your unit has shorted output transistors and is sending about 60 volts towards your speakers. If your unit has an output chip ( I don't ever remember seeing an Onkyo with a chip though...all discrete transistors ) it is shorted. Your unit is well worth repair. Onkyo is an execellent unit. Please rate this solution! Thankyou!

SOURCE: My Onkyo Receiver TX 601 is turning itself off

Adjust bass control to half position then feed loud signal,if it shut off adjust the bass contol to zero position,if it shut off again the defect is in the over load protection circuit it is already sensetive to loud signal.you may call the nearest audio amplifier technician on you.

Hope it may help you,

My Onkyo TX NR609 is not coming on and immediately shuts off and is progressively getting worse it is hooked to a harmony smart hub

Hi Liz, I am sorry about your issue. Please remove the HDMI cable from the receiver that is connected to the TV as a test. Check and see if the receiver stays on. If it does not the receiver would need to be serviced. Thank you, Onkyo USA

Can you use an Onkyo RC-771M remote control to operate Onkyo receiver TX-SR502 ?

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.

Onyko tx nr616 receiver keeps shutting off. Only stays on for approximately 3 seconds. Can you help?

The amp protection circuit has been activated. Remove the power cord from the wall outlet immediately. Disconnect all speaker cables and input sources, and leave the AV receiver with its power cord disconnected for 1 hour. After that, reconnect the power cord and reconnect an input and a pair of speaker wires onto the unit. If the receiver still does not turn on than you will have to bring it in for service. Turn up the volume and if the receiver doesn't shut down, power off the receiver and add another pair of speakers. Power up the unit again and turn up the volume. If it doesn't shut down, power off the unit again. Now connect all your input sources and turn on your receiver. If the unit shuts down again, your unit will need to be further serviced at an authorized Onkyo service center.

My Onkyo tx-sr606 7.1 receiver turns off by itself

hi, when the unit shuts off by itself, it means that the protection circuity inside has been activated. it can be a problem with the receiver itself or it is just detecting something hooked up to it that can cause possible damage so it shuts off.

you would need to disconnect everything from the back and by itself, try to turn it on, see if it will stay on and then crank the volume way up to max. if it stays on, the receiver is ok and you then need to rehook your devices one by one starting with the speakers until you determine the one causing the receiver to shut off.

however, if the receiver shuts off and won't turn on even by itself, it means that the problem is internal and it either has to go back to your dealer for an exchange or it has to be sent to a repair center for servicing.

hope this helps a bit.. ^_^
