I had the same problem a few months back. It is a safety feature that stops the system from overloading. I noticed at the back where i had connected my speakers there was quite a bit of copper wire showing and again on some of the speakers. I cut them down so there was just enough wire for connection to the back of the receiver and to my speakers. Since then it has not switched itself off once.

the same thing has been happening to me. I think it may have something to do with the slight spark and pop that occured when I attempted to connect my speaker wire while the unit was on.

Mine did this at high volume. I figured out the problem was an unconnected pair of speaker wires in another part of the house that had the bare ends touching. I clipped the ends of those wires down to the casing and now I can crank it up.

I have the same problem with my 705. Just bought it too. I'm trying to resolve the problem, but if anyone has insight, that would be great.

Did you ever find a solution to this problem? I have the same problem with the 876 which I just bought.

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've been using mine rather heavily since March 2013... zero problems with the sub (and I think my neighbors would agree with that statement). I've had problems with intermittent audio drops when running optical out from my TV to the Onkyo; however, I rewired using all HDMI and it seems to have resolved that issue - unsure whether that was an 'onkyo problem' or a 'vizio problem', but rewiring fixed it either way.

Thanks for the response. This looks like a much better value than the tx-sr805. I think that I found my new 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/

I would suggest checking with Onkyo Tech Support. Hope that helps! Good luck!

I don't have this issue. However before you think something is wrong with your receiver be sure you go into the Receiver's Home Menu&gt;System Setup&gt;Other Setup&gt;Auto Power Down. Check and be sure that Zone 2 doesn't have it powering down after 30 min. If this feature is off or is set to power down after an hour or more then you might have an issue. Good Luck.

I too had a TX-NR515 delivered last week from Amazon with this firmware version. It would not allow me to put the other version of the firmware on it via USB as it said it was up to date. I called Onkyo and they said that as long as the last 4 digits were 0400, than it is the most recent update, even if there is some difference with a 5 instead of4 in the first sequence of numbers. So far it has been working just fine... but agian, it has only been a week or so.

I've purchased two of these Onkyos without any problems. Perhaps you just got a lemon. See if you can return it for a new one.

I can't say anything specific about that problem what I can tell you is that these were a known faulty product from onkyo. It was the first and last onkyo receiver I bought. My receiver went bad after a little over a year of use. Went back to Sony and it's all I buy.

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.

I have two of these speakers. The first one I bought stays on all the time. The second one turns itself off after awhile. No idea why.

If there is no activity for 30 minutes after it stops playing, it automatically goes into stand-by mode. Stand-by mode means it appears to be off (display is dark), but there is minimal power (0.3w) always on so that it can react to the remote. This is the way most remote-operated electronics work -- they're not operating, but they're also not totally off. You'd have to unplug it from the wall to override that feature.

Hello out there!I was wondering if anyone else has had any problems with this Yamaha receiver RX-V665!!! My unit shuts off when I increase the volume and when I use the speaker optimizer. The manual and "Yamaha Live" techs attribute this to my speaker connections. I have checked and rechecked, cut, twisted and tightened my connections over the past 3 months with no results. My older JVC receiver runs my speakers just fine. I recently was sent a replacement receiver and the problem persists. Are these receivers useless??

Mine shuts off too; not even at particularly high volume either. Signal is being fed into the unit via stereo minijack. You are not alone.

I had a similar issue with my onkyo receiver. Having the cable plugged into my phone then restarting seemed to take care of it kind of a pain in the ass cause I needed to do it every time.

I would not recommend it. Especially receivers with HDMI, if you leave the receivers on for long periods of time, the motherboard can overheat. I just replaced my Onkyo 606 Receiver because some of the HDMI Ports no longer worked because I left it on all the time. At least with this Sony receiver the remote can put this beast in standby, but with the amount of heat that Blu-ray players kick out, I wouldn't recommend it.
