MC39693 Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 I seem to recall I had a similar problem back when I had a Denon x4300. The Audessy setup would nearly blow me out of the room but music or movies were very quiet. Check the software values for the sub both on the sub and in the Onkyo to be sure they are set for a reasonable level... in my case Velodyne DD was <25% of max volume. Check your Onkyo settings for the sub eg LFE +Mains and what crossover Hz you have set for the use of the sub. Best wishes... p.s. How / where the heck did you find 2 RB75 in BC that I didn’t see first? Rascal! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Source is 6 different HDMI inputs - DVD, CD, Roku, etc. Yes; all HDMI. Will try an optical cable next 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will try an optical cable next The reason I suggested that is because I read where Onk may be having HDMI problems again. I had the Onk 717 which had the dreaded HDMI daughterboard problems which killed the sound. The problems with the modern Onk seemed to be the HDMI sources changing on their own, not the problem you describe. Still, I didn't think it would hurt to try. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emile Posted July 6, 2022 Author Share Posted July 6, 2022 Haha, bought a Yamaha RX-V673 as a temporary unit and put the Onk in the Garage sale for $1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emile Posted July 10, 2022 Author Share Posted July 10, 2022 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 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad that you are having good tunes again! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocketFoot Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 (edited) That's the problem with these new AVRs...to damn complicated to set up! My Yamaha AVR has an easily overlooked menu item titled: "Subwoofer: ON or OFF!" You have to find it and turn it on to add a sub! My 1970's Sony Receiver doesn't have any sub outs...just Speakers A&B Front speakers on A and Sub on B (as long as your sub has speaker level (high level) inputs!)
