Verizon FIOS Remote Control won't turn Onkyo Receiver on: Any thoughts on what we should try??
1265919
Onkyo uses discrete codes for 'on' and 'off', it is not a 'toggle' code like those used by other receiver manufacturers (Sony for example). So you can program the AUX button on the FiOS remote to turn the receiver on or off but not both. I use a universal remote with macros programmed to turn all the home theater equipment on and one to turn everything off.

Joe C says:I have intermitant failure of my HDMI connection even with Verizon Fios. I have 40" Samsung LCD and Verizon supplied Motorola 6417-2 DVR box.I have to unplug the HDMI cable and plug it back in again almost every evening. Some times I have to unplug and replug the power cord to do a soft reboot to the DVR box. One Verizon manager said it's system static build up and she unplugs everyday. Other Verizon techs says it's Samsung's fault but Verizon will be issueing the new 7000 series Motorola DVR box which might solve the problem. Too many stories..... Otherwise the picture is awesome as long as the DVR box isn't doing it's other crash and reboot issue. Joe C says:I have intermitant failure of my HDMI connection even with Verizon Fios.

if Fios has a IR sensor that is used for the remote then it will work. IF it is not IR and radio freq then this device will not function.

Hi Julie, I'm not sure about a connection between your Onkyo or Denon receiver. I suggest you pose this question to the support folks at Kinivo. Their number is 855-454-6486, and their hours are Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm Pacific Time.

Had the same problem... so things to do:- Check to make sure you have power- make sure it is well connected to the Onkyo amp- check on the speaker configuration and sound mode.In my case I had to update the configuration so that it recognizes the sub is enabled. Took a few minutes to go though the menus...

Mine always goes to the last option I used when I turn it on. Ie. satellite, game, etc. I am using HDMI cables for all connections to my different devices, XBOX, Direct TV, LCD TV all connected to my Onkyo 7.1 receiver.

Yes I had the same problem, I had mine for 23 months when mine went out. Mine was still under warranty so I went to Onkyo website and was able to send mine in for free repair. Got it back and have had no problems so far.

I use my Fios remote most of the time but have used the Harmony in the past. I only use the Vizeo for changing inputs and for Netflix streaming.

I had the same issue, and the problem was the HD board failed. After doing some research , I called Onkyo and they paid for the out of warranty fix because it's a known issue.Don't know whether or not your problem & solution is the same, but hope this helps.

Yes. coolerguys.com have great on top of receiver fans that will take care of the problem. Tell them your need and they will help you out. Pretty inexpensive as well. That's what I did. My last Onkyo, I had for 25 years and I am a firm believer in taking care of my equipment.

Hey Craig-Which optical input connection on the Onkyo receiver did you use to connect the optical cable from your TV? I'm not having success. :-(

Most likely your HDMI board has went bad, which is a known issue with these models. I have the same model and had similar issues to yours. The good news is Onkyo is paying to have these fixed at no charge to the customer, as long as it is within 2 years of purchase I believe. You just need to email jose.torres@us.onko.com and he will set you up with the nearest Onkyo authorized repair center and get you taken care of. This problem is not just an Onkyo one, Denon, Panasonic, and others have it too, but Onkyo is the only one fixing them for free according to my repair facility guy. That says a lot about Onkyo in my opinion, and they have retained me as a customer because of it. Best of luck to you.

There is a recall by Onkyo. Go to their website and see if you qualify: http://www.onkyousa.com/Support/service_info.php

Hello Paul, I purchased the Onkyo TX - 8050 as a gift for another. I do not know the answer to this question but, this is the website for owner manuals for Onkyo products: http://www.onkyousa.com/Downloads/manuals.php?source=globalnav Go down the webpage until you reach this model and click to open the manual. The answer may be in there for you. The model is about half way down the page. Or, go to the Onkyo website: http://www.onkyousa.com/?m=TX-8050&class=Receiver&p=i and click on SUPPORT. They have a Support Forum, How to videos, and Frequently Asked Questions that are answered. Best of luck.

Try checking any fuses between the hookup and the reciever. Also be sure that the receiver didn't get wet. Mine got wet and stopped working and I had to order a new kit.

When FIOS was installed for me, the FIOS technician had set that all up...I would contactFIOS to either have one mailed to you or set up an appointment for a technician to installit

Actually, on mine, the audio output from the actual projector works from everything I have hooked up to it. It only falters when I have a Verizon Fios cable box hooked up using an HDMI cable and trying to hook up an external speaker or headphones through the 3.5mm jack on the back. It works using a PS4 and hooking up external speakers or headphones through HDMI so I suspect it is the audio portion of the signal from Verizon that just won't go through the jack.
