Is My Onkyo Receiver's Tuner Dead or Just Playing Posum?

It ain’t muted, is it? The outboard amp is on, right?

Its an analog source so every zone should receive anything the tuner captures.

Is it set ONLY to HD?

Ant connections tight?

On both ends? Ant & receiver? Winds and critters can unhook it from the ANT.

Only other thing I can think of is what band are you on?

My TX SR 805 has either 3 or 4 bands. 10 presets to each band. I forget as it only takes a minute of FM for me to remember why I quit listening to it.

Pressing the AM/FM or Tunner key…repeatedly , can’t recall which, but one for sure, until you reach the band where your presets are. Otherwise it will appear to be muted. Pulling in no channels. Or it can be done from the drop down panel on the front of the unit.

Sometimes I lay the remote down and a key gets pressed accidentally or something. Who knows.

Durect access us bt pushing the #8 or the key to the right of the zero, (_it says which on the remote itself) and then inputting the exact ch number. 99.5 = 9-9-5.

Anywho.. hope you try that and it helps. Or it magically returns to operating just fine.

Best…

wow. sorry to hear its still no go.

one last thing....

I’m assuming as is everyone else, this thing works with another source, right?

As you said you did a Factory reset holding in the power button and one other one I don’t recall now.

I recall when I first got mine, i only hooked up the FM to an outside ANT. just to check it out quickly. the volume was really, reallly low. i mean extraordinarily low. I now remember having to really crank the knob to get volume. At least a couple full turns!

Put some Rabbit ears on it, and I’d tuen in a station I know is running, ensure its locked on it indicating things should work and slowly start cranking up the volume.

I’d not go past 3 complete turns as you should get something between #2 and #3.

If you do, great! Then get into the settings and adjust the initial ‘on’ volume in the volume settings for the tuner. You can adjust the sources individually so they will all come on at the same level.

If all else fails… well the net is IMHO better than On Air anyhow. Except for local info & updates..

Very good luck.

As for crawling around in attics,or in crawl spaces under the house, that is why God made kids and phones with cameras.

Get a kid, give him $10 to crawl up there with his cell and send you live images of the connections on the attic ariel..

Well, crap. This is not good news. Two folks own similar devices to my own and both are ten years old when the tuner dies or leaves town on the sly. Rut ro.

Mine arrived on January 11, 2008 about 6P.

Well, I guess I got a couple mor months to go.

I do have a much older DHC 99 Integra Processor with a (Onkyo) tuner which I simply do not fully know how to operate when it comes to HD or side channels to the main radio stations broadcasting slot.

For music I’m with these other people. Streaming from Apple TV, or off my DAC.

I only use the FM tuner section to listen to the radio play by play broadcast of the local NFL team.

AM Bands have never been used.

I use a Sony desktop radio now for USB, Blu tooth, AM, & FM when I don’t feel up to engaging one of the other systems fully. Or merely stream to a mobile device or PC.

I’ll check back in February to see if Onkyo – Integra installs a clock which times out the tuner in their receivers. And processors.

If 3 or four people all have the same issue, at the same time, we should have an open and shut, class action suit as it would then be a quadrinanimous cncensous. Lol

What a world. What a world.
