I know there are some real pros in here, so I'm hoping someone can help diagnose my problem. I have a 5 speaker surround system running off an Onkyo receiver that's 4-5 years old. For the past week my rear speakers have been popping and crackling sporadically. Then tonight, all of the sound went out for all speakers. I didn't touch anything, it just went out. I turned things on & off, switched receiver channels, etc, but then the sound just came back on it's own. Then it went out again. At first i thought the rear speakers were bad, but now I'm thinking I might need a new receiver if the sound channel has gone bad. Oh, and I did try switching channels to the one I use with my XBox and there's no sound there either. Can someone suggest what I should do ? Thanks.
Thanks for the replies. As it turns out, the Onkyo NR609 has a known flaw in that the HDMI chip burns out. The sound is now totally gone on all channels and since it's 5 1/2 years old it's out of warranty. I'm going to check out new receivers today.
I'm suprised your Onkyo lasted that long! Mine broke after owning it for 1.5 yrs. I was fortunate to accidently purchased a third party protection and got all money back. I don't trust Onkyo brand anymore unless I go with their higher end brand, Integra. I rather go with either Marantz, Denon, or Yamaha.
If you don't mind purchasing refurbhished, this is a good place to find some decent deal. I got my refurbished Marantz here and its still going strong 8 years or so now.
