Tx-sr304 will not produce sound from the cd player. assuming problem is with the first time set-up using the input selector.

If your Onkyo TX-SR602E receiver is stuck on the CD input and doesn't change, there could be a few possible causes for this issue:
1. Input Selector Issue: The input selector switch or button may be malfunctioning or stuck. Try pressing the input selector button repeatedly or cycling through the available inputs using the remote control to see if it frees up and allows you to change the input.
2. Remote Control Issue: If you're using the remote control to change inputs, it's possible that the remote control itself is not functioning correctly. Replace the batteries in the remote control and ensure that there are no obstructions between the remote control and the receiver's sensor.
3. Signal Connection Problem: Check the audio cables connected to the receiver's CD input. Ensure that they are securely connected and not damaged. Try using a different set of cables or connecting a different audio source to the CD input to see if the issue persists.
4. Internal Circuitry or Software Issue: If none of the above solutions work, it's possible that there is an internal issue with the receiver's circuitry or software. In this case, it may be necessary to have the receiver inspected and repaired by a qualified technician.
5. Reset the Receiver: Try performing a factory reset on the Onkyo TX-SR602E. Consult the receiver's manual for instructions on how to perform a reset. Please note that a factory reset will erase all custom settings and configurations, so be sure to back up any important settings before proceeding.
If the issue persists after trying these troubleshooting steps, it is recommended to contact Onkyo customer support or consult a professional technician for further assistance. They will be able to provide more specific guidance and help resolve the problem with your receiver.

Try plugging the TV into the AUX on the back of the receiver. If you get sound from the tv when you switch to AUX on the front of the receiver, then you know the tv is ok. You may also try connecting your CD player to the TV input on the back of the receiver, switch it to TV on the front of the receiver and if you have CD sound from the tv selector, then the receiver should be ok. Helps narrow down where the problem is. You may have to set the tv to enable its audio outputs in the TV's menu. It might not be putting out any sound until that setting is enabled.

you get better play back using an analog input like tape. the sound is true to form and better vocals and bass response.

The pecking order for output video to your monitor forbids a lower quality video (composite (Yellow) being up-ticked to anything higher (your component out) (Page23).

The wii would be visible on the Monitor Out composite output (Page 24) to the TV.

Your Onkyo TX-SR304 receivers remote (RC-645S) is not capable of controlling devices by other manufacturers. It controls only Onkyo devices.
Other Onkyo remotes do have universal remote functionality and you can download Onkyo remote codes here.

I hope that helps.

The only possibility that comes to mind is that it may be causing a short somehow when the carousel gets to that position, maybe a broken solder joint. Another possibility is that there may be a foreign object stuck inside the player such as another disc that lost it's position.

what u can utilize on your tx-sr304 is the optical input at the back of the receiver. connect an optical cable from your PS3 into the receiver then follow these steps:
*make sure that the digital input on the front panel of your receiver matches where you placed the optical at the back of the tx-sr304 (either OPT1 or OPT2)
*all you have to do is keep pressing the digital input at the front panel until it goes to OPT1 or OPT2 (preferrably stay on DVD mode)
AFTER completing this go to your PS3 settings:
go to settings / then go to sound settings / then audio output settings / then set it to DIGITAL OUT (optical)/ then play and enjoy.....ü

Onkyo offers access to manuals at their web site. HERE is a link to the receiver line.

Personally, I'd connect the speakers to main left/right. The subwoofer to subwoofer out. The Go VIdeo unit to VCR/Video 1, the cable box to Video 2 and the video output to the Sony TV composite input. No need to connect the TV audio out to the receiver since the audio feed comes from the cable box.

Most new recievers don't have a "phono" input. If your record player is an older kind without a built in preamp, you will need to purchase a Phono pre-amp (about $25) and then you can use any input you wish.
