How did you get them to do this? I've contacted them as I have the same issues and they're saying I'll need to pay a local dealer to fix it myself?

Do you have a phone number for Onkyo, if so could you post or pm it to me? I can't get past the first bit of the online form as it requires serial number, which is typically on the back of the receiver and to get it I'd have to disconnect all the cables (a LOT) to get it out the TV unit and see it. Would be so annoying if I did that just to find they won't repair it. Surely they can tell me from the model if they have a repair plan that covers it? Don't see why they need the serial number immediately.

Finally does anyone know if there is any other way of accessing the serial number on an Onkyo TX-SR 607? Is it accessible in one of the on screen menus?

Well, actually, they will all handle 3 Ohms, provided you don't turn up the volume to the point where you draw too much current. If you want to run them safely, you would need a voltmeter, a knowledge of your amp's spec for max current, and a knowledge of Ohm's law and the equations for power:
P=V^2/R = I^2*R

If this makes sense, you can do it. If not, don't start playing with it.

What are the speakers ?

Good choice.

Tell richer sounds about peter tyson deal
-3 year guarantee
- free qed hdmi cable
And they give you 6 years free cover so for 379.99 get the amp and 6 years. Also rumoured aome have got richer sounds to "beat" the price and had the amp sold for £350 + 6 years guarantee + hdmi (although not qed). I am waiting for a reply back from richer sounds to see why I weren't offered the same deal.

Quality bit of equipment, had it a week just using some cheap pioneer 5.1 speakers and notice the difference massively. Not going to lie where I being at home alot the amp has being on pretty much 8 hours+ a day for Internet radio, sky, bluray etc.

I'm deciding between this and the Denon. The Denon has been getting some bad end-user reviews though, incompatible with Sky for example?! Have all the issue been fixed now?

Onkyo has 8 in/2 out btw

I haven't seen a Bush one before, they must be hard to find these days..??
This one comes with 2 year warranty, obviously go which RS if you want it extended..

I agree with the second comment - it's worth it paying £45 more to boost the warranty from 2y to 6y. Some of these sofas are known to malfunction with time.

Well I'm no expert but here it goes.

Amp (maybe the wrong term as these are a/v receivers) which is short for audio/visual.
They take a audio and/or video signal, amplifies the signals (where amp comes from I guess) and outputs it.

For example (I will use my setup as an example)

Denon avrx-2200w av/receiver (amp)
Pioneer 5.1 speakers.

I only have 1 hdmi going into my telly, this connects to the av reciever, this is my "output signal"

Then on the rear of the unit I have my electronics connected via hdmi which are classed as the "inputs"

So this means that my sky box, bluray player, ps4, android box are all connected to the receiver.
Now when I watch sky, bluray etc the signal is sent to the receiver and processed, upscaled, decoded and sent up the hdmi which goes to my telly. The result being a better picture (unless your telly already upscales to 4k), sound signal is played through a speaker setup and not the telly speakers, which is alot better especially for hd channels, most hd programs/films have dolby digital. The telly will never be able to handle it the same as a surround setup does. Also using a system with hdmi means you will get true dolby, dts hd master via arc (aslong as your telly has arc). That is a whole new conversation though.

Sorry this is a bit basic, it is late and I'm a novice myself.

Yeah I use them in a 5.1.2 config , I got them bundled free with my Onkyo 444 a few months ago.
I haven't actually got any true Atmos material to test them with yet but using the Dolby surround setting on the amp they throw a useful amount of extra effect out. Nice quality speakers but not sure I'd pay full retail for them.

​I can't tell if this is a joke.

Buy a Sony !!

A lot of the older Onkyo's did have hdmi board issues, seems to be a non issue now.. Need to make sure the box is ventilated properly, A hdmi issue can be down to cheap cables, I've had two cables fail on me. Sometimes it's better to spend a couple of quid extra.

I think the HDMI board capacitor faults were resolved a good few years back now....
I do suffer with upgradeitis and the last Onkyo AVR I had that suffered this problem was a 606 about 6-7 years ago....

Sony or onkyo mmmmm

Yeah, I have a TX-SR607 about five years old that has come down with one of the HDMI board faults a couple of months ago, where it takes a good 5-10 minutes to display picture on initial power up. I'm reluctant to replace it as it does work perfectly once it starts displaying but is a nuisance to have to remember to power it up early.

Tried contacting (genserve) Onkyo repair center and they said they had never heard of any HDMI board problems with this model (despite several reports on the web) and wanted to charge me £90+ for a repair despite the receiver being 5 years old and only having a second hand value of about £60 tops.....

Pretty disappointing service and would make me think twice about another Onkyo unless it was dirt cheap.

Nr414 is from 2012, they and the other models that year are know to often have issues. If your issue is a known defect, I believe Onkyo should still fix out of warranty?? Check this out

I would be buying this, if I didn't already have the Nr636.
