I use this with an Onkyo SR 507, and have found that it is not as loud - or not as loud as I would like it to be. Any suggestions?

It maybe needs tuned. Your amp has enough wattage to make it loud enough to make people cover their ears when turned up. Have you searched the home theatre FORUMS for answers? That usually helps

I've seen the other answers in the feedback but for the life o me I can't see how they would help. I use it for the tv, since I have become hard of hearing and wife says play the tv too loud I connect audio cables to the cable box and run them to Sony earphones and then using I splitter y adapter connect it to the amplifier and sound is unbelievable. Hope this helps

Not at all. Do you have another amp to test the output on your source? The amp gets uncomfortably loud at just half volume with my Klipsch RM-15's. I've used it with far less efficient speakers and still it got very loud!Check your source...

I have the same setup as you mentioned. I used a splitter thinking I would be achieving a fuller sound. Sounds great to me. Good luck. Bill

Yes, that is a known bug with this version. You would need to send it to Onkyo to get it fixed. If you are within the return time frame for the system, you may want to return it and purchase the newer version (HT-S3500). It doesn't have this problem and is also better than the HT-S3400 version. That is what I did when I noticed this problem a week after purchasing HT-S3400.

I had the same issue and returned them and got a less expensive fataly1. not quite as comfortable and in stero only. I run a sound blaster card with great 2. 1 and 5.1 plugged in back. It your choise.

I have a Polk audio sub, and I barely have the sub volume on. With an unused pair of Bose surround sound speakers, I use this for my computer sound system and it is almost better than my Kenwood receiver with Bose speaker system.

Maybe the sound varies by device. The unit I have is NOT loud. It's actually softer than average. I use it only if I'm going to be in the same room with it.

Something was wrong. I have been using mine flawlessly on my sony player. I started with the red and white audio outputs and then changed to the toslink optical cable. Remember that you are adding another volume control, and you need to enable the appropriate outputs.

I had the same problem. There was some speculation that it was due to overheating. Because of this and another problem I had with this receiver, I returned it and got a Pioneer unit that I am much happier with.

Haven't tried that. I will give it a go today or tomorrow. Get back to me then. So I tested the unit on both program content and commercial content. Both were in the range of 38-40 db. Didn't see any difference in the sound level between them.

Just set mine up. I do have a home theater system, so it isn't an issue with me. But I am also not impressed with the sound from the tv. You certainly should be able to hear it over other noise, even though it could be louder.

I have used a Denon which is great but I since have upgraded (needed HDMI )to Onkyo and I like the sound that the Onkyo delivers a little better. I used the same polk speakers for both AVR'sThe Onkyo seems a little more bright which I like....sounds more crisp but some people don't like that crisp sound.Both brands are work horses so you can't go bad with either. Onkyo's much higherend Integra is nice also.So

Hey Matt, we just purchased the Onkyo cs-355. we attached a pair of Yamaha speakers to it.... works great!

I would say it should be fine as long as the 150 watts is not the peak power, but invest in an external equalizer and use together. If you experience a lot "cut offs" or receiver resets, return it and get something either beefier or a brand that pushes more efficient power like Onkyo.

Hello F. Zuma,I notice that you have been reaching out for info on your over heated Onkyo. Sound like you might need an repair or replacement. Did you mention that ya start having problem right after buying it? Have you experimented putting it out of the cabinet to see if it does the same thing? Wish you Luck. Stephen

Yes, buttt! The timing might be a little off and could sound simular to an echo effect. My sound bar is hooked up to optical connection. There should be a way to adjust this tv/soundboard timing, butt! I haven't researched this yet
