    I wonder if this applies

    Pretty sure it does. The multi-zone setup is for multi-zone speakers "out." Yes; all CD/DVD decks are set to PCM :) 

    Think zone-2 pre-out is just DEAD :(  It's a no go with HDMI inputs and also no go with AC RCA inputs. Note; RCA inputs work on zone-3 :) 

     

    Used zone-2 pre-out to send a signal (from HDMI 1-3 only) to my Crown/KPT-904's. Since I'm pretty sure it does NOT work anymore, planning on just hooking up my main DVD player (Oppo) direct to the KPT's via RCA. Haha, less buttons to push :) for the wife.

     

    Anyone know of any affordable (and less than 16" depth) AVR's that have HDMI to pre-out transfer? Paid $600 for my Onk 4 years ago, but NLA. Only need 5.1. All I can find is a Yamaha RX-A6A which is too deep (and too expensive at $2300). Have not checked out Denon, nor Marantz (hate that little porthole).

    what the f was the problem?

    Actually, who knows? :)  Yes, "loose nut" and many pilot errors with modes not compatible with CD/DVD's. All-channel stereo seems to be the only thing that works :( Will "play" more with that.

    But did determine that the HDMI passthrough to zone-2 pre-out is BAD. Spend a day and a half on that :( So; switched to "zone-3," which of course ( :( ) does NOT take HDMI inputs. Therefore just using an RCA cable from my Oppo to the AVR. Haha, probably would have been easier just to go Oppo to preamp/Crown/KPT-904's (which I did try just to make sure the big speakers worked) :) 

     

    Yes, still shopping for a new AVR. Looked at many, including a Yamaha RX-A2A ... Jeez; even that one does NOT pass-through HDMI to pre-out. :( $1000 and NO GO :( May have to live with this one or go high-end Marantz - but hate that little porthole :)

    Onkyo AVR - no sub out - help please

    Well ... long story. Now 99% sure Onk is working just fine :) 

     

    Thanks to the "experts" here I was sure my Onk had major problems.  So; replaced it with a Yamaha RX-V673 which gave me the same problems. But ... turned out I was just stupid as I tried my subwoofer with CD's that DID NOT have a subwoofer track :( Once I put in a "surround-sound" DVD everything was fine.  And, my surround speakers not working was due to it being switched to "direct," which only gives L/R :( 

     

    Still have the Yamaha hooked up, but major problem with that unit is that HDMI inputs are NOT transferred to "zone-2." Need that to drive my Crown/KPT-904's/HF top.  Oh well; lesson learned; back to the Onk :) 

     

    And, many kudo's to @Khornukopia who graciously let me cancel the $1 sale :) 

     

    Cheers, Emile

    I can be ready to ship you a proper box with foam inserts

    OK; how can I refuse :)  If it is more than say $20 to ship the box, let me know as I can get boxes and foam panels from the Home Depot :)  Also, can ship "direct," but if you have a UPS account it maybe cheaper :)

    OK; had some problems with this Onkyo TX-RZ810 :(  See 

    So; temporarily replaced it with a Yamaha RX-V673 (local buy for $80) till I decide on my "next" AVR.

     

    Had problems with sub pre-out. Haha; maybe OK since the Yammie really did not solve the problem :( 

    Note, L/R/C work just fine. Had a problem connecting surround speakers from "speaker-outs."  NO clue as they started working just FINE - maybe I did not follow the setup instructions correctly.

    Also never got "zone-3" to work ... maybe (again) operator error.

     

    Really nice unit ... has 8 HDMI inputs (+1 up front). Initially we thought it might be the Onkyo HDMI board problem, but 99% sure the board is fine :) 

     

    Just tired of fu**ing with it :) Maybe the next person will have more luck :) 

     

    Comes with remote and power cord. Sorry; no clue where the mic is - will look for it :) 

     

    Cheers, Emile

    Onk may be having HDMI problems again

    Onk has a mind of its own :(  After spending the last 2 days trying to get the surround speaker outputs to work - without success - it just came on when I tried my Roku HDMI input ... WHAT THE HELL :)  OK; switched to Oppo HDMI and it is still working ... GO FIGURE :(
