Emile Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babadono Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 @Emile @Khornukopia so what the f was the problem? Perspiring minds want to know. Loose nut behind the wheel? Pilot error? cold solder joint? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Playing CD while troubleshooting for subwoofer sound. Common error. Boring times...think I'll start a youtube music thread. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emile Posted July 11, 2022 Author Share Posted July 11, 2022 20 minutes ago, babadono said: 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 Cheers, Emile 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilot error? cold solder joint? The Zone 2 and Zone 3 signal paths have several stipulations about inputs and signal types and sequences of button pressing operations. Functions can accidentally be disabled without realizing how or why. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 A case of too many bells and whistles. Just noticed there are enough youtube threads...oh well. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khornukopia Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 The instructions also say to choose "with External Pre-Main Amplifier" or "with External Main Amplifier". There is other fine print, but I don't want to complicate things if @Emile has the system functioning to his satisfaction. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
