Turn off "powered zone 2"option in reciever settings. Trigger should still work. I say this because my boy got ahold of my remote and turn on zone 2 & 3, the lights came on for those zones, I was running 9 channels and it had zero effect to those. But I have the 1009. Wont hurt to try it.

Please post results , if it works or not?

[antimatter]

REMO I will do that.


I have a question if anyone can help. I am getting the Onkyo 709 and I am going to hook up Emotiva XPA-5. I was wondering if any one has used this combo or something similar. Did you use a 3.5mm mono cable or did you use a stereo cable for the 12v trigger?

Thank You in Advance

[Stitches]

3.5mm mono cable.

How will the NR5010 play 11.4 channels? Will you be able to play all 11 channels through the speaker terminals at the same time? Or will you have to use the preouts with an external amp?

With the NR5008 which was billed as an 11.2 channel receiver you could connect all 11 speakers but could only ever play 9 at the same time. Hopefully the NR5010 will let you play all 11 channels at the same time??

I noticed that there are no multi channel input jacks on the back of the NR5010? I hope this is not the trade off for getting 11.4 channels. I just got an Oppo BDP-95 for the expressed purpose of using their awesome DACs. So if the production models of the NR5010 don't have multi channel input jacks I won't be buying one. even as much as I would like to have 11.4 channels??

Thats where DTS Neo:X comes in. 11.1 Channel matrixing.

You will have to use an external amp to get the 11th channels, have a look at the pictures i posted if you have not already?

The new INTEGRA DBS 50.3 $700 bluray player has preouts for 7 channels???

What i don't understand is that there is no multi channel out on the new receivers. Seems odd? I guess for legacy receivers??

The onkyo 1010 looks like it has subeqht. It's cousin the 50.4 does according to integras website.

If it does it may be my next receiver as I'm looking at getting a 2nd subwoofer.

Hi Newbie here.
Started on the HT world.
Got an Onkyo NR609 and started to learn the ropes on its features.
Just want to know if there is a site or thread that will tell or teach the ins and outs of setting/configuring the 609 since I just realized it is a lot.

Thanks for any advise.

My present setup.

Panasonic BD player --- AVR--- Optoma projector
with Polk surroundbar for 5.1 setup with 2 Onkyo D-SX7A speakers for Zone 2.

That's an awesome price.

They are sold out again. I went on there at about 11:30ish central time. Posted on slickdeals at about 11:42 and sold out in about a half-hour to an hour. If you want one I would suggest to start checking the Onkyo site. I went on there Friday at like 2pm was gonna order one after work it hit slickdeals and sold out in like 20-30mins. I was checking every hour since Friday. I don't know when they update the inventory on the site but today it was at about 11am central time zone.

Whoever wants one good luck. I am hesitant about refurbs but $205 less than a new one direct from manufacture and next month I will buy the extended warranty. I'll take it. This will be a huge step up from my AVR HT-r980 from the Onkyo HTIB thx9300. I am very excited!

Actually, I'm waiting on the TX-NR818 to drop in price. Have a feeling I'm going to be waiting quite some time. I want the Audyssey XT32. I was looking at getting an 809 till I saw the 818 with the 32 bit version.

Congrats buddy...

[r22yu]

Does anyone with an RC370 experience popping noises when watching youtube videos? For some reason I get popping noises every 15-45 seconds while streaming youtube, but not for anything else...

[Artie]

for anyone with the 709, whats your normal listening volume #? I just hooked it up and 45 is less than normal

With My 609, the volume was pretty much around the same, after running Audyssey, the volume had to be between 29 - 32. 45 would be way too loud after the audyssey set-up. Give it a try.

Whilst i am talking about the 609, i am absolutely 100% satisfied! Even streaming radio is boomy and full of life! The network features are BRILLIANT. I have a samsung galaxy tab and controlling the amp via the remote app is very receptive. Streaming audio from my devices has also been wonderful, no shortcomings on the unique sound of the Onkyo 609. Mp3's sound far better than usual. I have some 1980's bollywood soundtracks ripped on mp3 and the sound amazed me, sound separation as well as voice volume. All in all, a solid receiver. The ratings on those review sites are a definite indication on the capability of the 609!
