How long should an Onkyo AV receiver last?
By Emma Powell
How long should an Onkyo AV receiver last?
My expectations are that a receiver should last at least 10 years. Onkyos have tons of features, but I would take durability over features. I just replaced my Onkyo with a Pioneer (now owned by Onkyo).
How old is the Onkyo tx-nr5027 AV receiver?
About a year ago I had a 5 year old TX-SR706 fail. Something ‘popped’ and the speakers started making crackling sounds whenever audio was played. Out of warranty I replaced it with a TX-NR727 which has been running fine. However I have a TX-SR506 connected to my computer.
What should I do if my Onkyo turn itself off?
They may advise you to turn it off, unplug it for about 30 seconds, then plug it back in and turn it on. Try that to see if it works. May sound basic, but just double check that none of the left/right speaker cables or connectors are touching. I have an Onkyo DR-S2.2 that I purchased about 1 1/2 yrs. ago.
What was the name of the original Onkyo stereo receiver?
Vintage Onkyo TX-6500 MKII Receiver. Works well! VINTAGE ONKYO TX-5000 TUNER AMPLIFIER STEREO RECEIVER. Huge, cool, RETRO !!! Vintage Onkyo Stereo Receiver TX-1500 17 Watt Power fully restored.
How old are the speakers on my Onkyo receiver?
It is a little over 5 years old and has not ‘popped’ but the audio coming through the speakers crackles. A lot. I’ve even replaced some of the speakers thinking those speakers were old (they really were) but the crackling persists. On every channel.
What should the volume be on an Onkyo receiver?
Who Replied? I just purchased a new Onkyo TX-NR575 receiver to replace my old Onkyo to use with my existing speakers. With this receiver, I have to have the volume at 60+ for the TV to be at a normal volume. My old receiver usually had the volume at 25 and it was almos too loud.

Is it safe to use an Onkyo AV receiver?
Onkyo AV receivers do have a reputation for high failure rates, primarily because of HDMI boards. Most of the major brand AV receivers are on the junky side these days as the manufacturers race to the bottom of the price ladder. I’m holding on happily to my 8 year old AVR.
