Freezing issue Twice in the last 2 days I've powered on my 1020 receiver and it basically froze. No video or audio comes out, hitting any button or turning the two front dials has no effect. I can't even turn it off via the power button. The unit has to be unplugged and replugged back into power, and then it powers up with no problems. Anyone else having this issue?I should say also that all my inputs are hooked up via HDMI, and both times it was my xbox 360 that was the selected input.

I have a 360 and a Dell Zino HD. Both cause the 1020 to freeze. Nothing should cause a good switching receiver to freeze. The firmware should have error correction built into the hdmi handshake. Hopefully they can fix it in an update.

I'm having the same problem minus the Xbox (I do have an Xbox hooked up to the receiver) but it's freezing up without the Xbox being turned on. I have a Direct TV Satellite box, and an LG TV, it will turn on and freeze with power on displayed on the GUI. Last time it took a few hourse before I could turn the reciever back on. Not happy at all. I contacted Pioneer, but no response yet.....Update: Heard from Pioneer, they said to take it to a service center. Great help, they won't be able to duplicate the problem I'm sure. Anybody find a fix for this?

You don't have to unplug the unit. Simply hold the power button down for 10 seconds and it will switch it off. Press the power button again and the problem will be resolved. This is a handshaking problem between your HDMI device and the receiver.

Yeah, I've figured out as long as I don't start up to the xbox everything is fine. If I start on another input and switch to the xbox it works no problem. No big deal really, just something I have to remember to do.

I'm also experiencing freezing, but it happens once every few months. I own two of them. Both are installed several hundred miles from each other and each freezes up periodically.

I had the same question. Glad to hear that there is no video lag.On the same note, I have a similar question: I would like to connect my Nintendo Wii through this receiver as well. Will this model take analog component and pipe it out over HDMI? The setup I currently have does not have component-in, so I will be using this as a hub for the time being. I realize there may be some input-lag due to conversion, I just want to confirm that this device would accept analog component input and then be able to push it out over HDMI.Any info would be appreciated!

We have not had that issue. But, sounds like you have had it happen on a few different systems which seems really odd. I was thinking it was the A/V cables are not in properly or the tv needs to be turned to a different input. Hope that helps!

Thanks BlueDemon.I have actually been following the thread on AVSForum since it began. While there are some reports of loose HDMI connectors, muting, etc; it really isn't much (actual content-wise vs. wishing/hoping-wise). Amazon had a yellow note on their HT-CT500 page for a while saying that no orders were being taken because of Amazon customer-reported issues. I was curious to see what the actual issues were (causing a suspension of sales), in case any of those customers returned here.Thanks~Bill

well, it happened to me about 3 months ago. Totally bricked and useless. I looked it up here and all over the net... and it's just a bad unit and everybody's broke. I gave up and got my 20 year old Onyko unit out of the garage. Doesn't do much and there are limitations, but it sounds better. I don't have the $$ to fix it. Such a drag. At least it's not a SONY it might have broken sooner! :-)

Hey, I just checked mine out and you are able to switch the inputs with the button on the unit. I have mine hooked up to my PS3 and X-Box 360, so I generally only have one running at a time so it's not really an issue for me. But, I just turned them both on and it will default to the device plugged into input 1, but you can press the button on the unit and it will cycle through to input 2 and input 3. The only downside would be that you'd have to manually do it on the unit as this doesn't come with a remote. But, unless you're switching between them fairly often I don't see that it would really be an issue. Hey, I just checked mine out and you are able to switch the inputs with the button on the unit.

I've tried that multiple times, my xbox just won't recognize it. Also my working controller is able to turn on the xbox and the defective one can't. (Maybe that's a sign that its broken.)

Just out of curiosity what do you consider to be high response times? I use this with my 360 all the times and have not really noticed anything out of the ordinary. The thing I really don't like about this LCD is the overscan issue, which is noticeable with games. Do you have that with your DLP?

Have you gotten anywhere with this? We got one and while it works it constantly freezes up -started after maybe an hour of use. They are sending a new one.

Hey Pugh, let me know if you have any of the compatibility issues I've had. You're using the Xbox Slim, and I'm thinking of upgrading to one especially if it works better with this reciever. Does your Xbox 360 turn off by itself everytime you switch to another input on your receiver?I'm using a Samsung LCD HDTV and if I'm the only one having these issues then maybe the TV is actually the culprit

I wonder if this model allows you to play multiple inputs. EX. Watching cable and listening to music on a ps3 at the same time. I have the 1020 and its not able to do that. If the 1021 has that feature i'll definitely upgrade.

Mine did the same thing and I tried on an other xbox and did the same so I just bought a different one from a different manufacturer. I don't know why it didn't recognize it but the new I bought from Microsoft I didn't have to format it. It was just a plug and play. Hope it helps you.

I am having this exact same issue. I know this is an older posting but I thought I would see if I can ressurect it. I find that if I go to hdmi control and turn the switching off and then back on again it comes to life. sometimes. sometimes it just starts working after a while like it has to warm up or something. did any of you guys figure out what was going on?

I have this problem too. I don't notice the video freeze, but the audio seems to drop out for less than a second every 3-5 minutes. I didn't notice this when it was hooked up to my receiver via s-video and coax digital for audio. Only happened when I connected it via HDMI to same receiver.

Onkyo has a repair program in place for this issue that goes beyond the normal warranty period (until December 31, 2018, per Onkyo). I just found out about it on the AVS forums. I've just submitted my request for repair, and am awaiting the packaging which includes a prepaid shipping label. I'll update this once I have received my repaired unit. Here is the link for the repair program: https://repair.onkyousa.com/na/

Mine is still working, again the only issue was apple TV. My Blu-Ray, XBox 360 and cable box all work...apple TV needs it's on input directly into the TV.

I have had the monitor for 2 weeks, but it is used constantly. I frequently attach or separate it from different PCs, and it has been both shut off completely--or simply allowed to hibernate. I have not experienced this problem of the audio failing to switch on with the monitor. I suspect that the monitor is choosing the wrong audio input and perhaps decoupling it from your video signal. Are you using HDMI (for both video & audio), or do you have a separate audio signal input? My guess is that if you use VGA, you should avoid leaving any source plugged into the HDMI port. Likewise, if you are using HDMI, use a newer cable that supports audio and disconnect the audio input at the back of the monitor. Does any of this make sense? Did it help?
