My Onkyo Tx-Sr700 sound is not working. I have speakers connected for surr. sound but I can't figure out what buttons to press to turn them on for tv. Tv is video 1

Hi,
Please reset Onkyo receiver that will solve noisy sound problem, to reset the receiver, press and hold Video-1 button on unit and press Speaker-A button. Display will show *Clear* that means receiver has been restore on default settings, turn it On and check sound.
Hope this will help.
Thanks.

Do you have the manual and have you thumbed through it?

It always puzzles me when someone fixates on the remote when a unit has front-panel controls. You say "The pot does not seem to be the issue." Does that mean it is ineffective or is it faultless in your estimation?

The HUGE volume knob (#16 on page 8) controls volume (in the main zone), too.

If your complaint involves speakers on Zone 2, the up/down arrows at #22 on page 8 apply.

Go into Hardware Setup, find the setting for Powered Zone 2 and ACTIVATE IT. You will lose the Surround Back speaker function when you do this. Zone 2 and Surr Back are mutually exclusive.

yes. in order to do so, all analog input connections must be utilized by each device connected to the oynko

Go to the menu and choose hardware setup and then change the Surr/Zone2 to be Zone2

i have power but no sound it worked fine for a little while yesterday but it stopped whats wrong wit it

Can you explain how you have the DVD player connected to the reciever and what the label on the jacks read on each.

I just read over the problem you were having with your Onkyo TX-SR500 receiver. It sound like the unit needs to be setup for all five channels.Sence your symptom says the diplay shows Dolby D3/2.1. According to the owners manual with the remote control look for speaker setup whin the button is pressed the current speaker setup will be shown in the display. Press the preset/adjustment<> to change the current setting to five speakers. the listening mode will automatically change according to the number of channels you selected. Hope this helps.

Called Onkyo and here is the solution they gave me.

1. Turn on unit.

2. Press and hold VIDEO 1 button.

3. While pressing VIDEO 1, press Speaker A button.

4. You should see "CLEAR" on the display for a second and it will go on stand-by mode.

5. Turn on the unit and check if sound is back.

Hope this helps
