The *Official* Onkyo TX-NR515 Owners Thread - Page 9

okay thanks, I was concerned because of reading this, but I will try and install via usb. when you say more than once, just restart with same USB, over and over... I'll give it a try this weekend.
thanks, again.

Users should first check to see i
f their network receiver is running the latest firmware (
1130-9106-0300 or 1130-9106-0301 released August 10, 2012
) before installing this update via USB. If your
network receiver is not running firmware version
1130-9106-
0300 or 1130-9106-0301
, please update your receiver to this version via the network facility before proceeding further.
If your receiver is running more newer firmware, there is no need to update via network facility

Mine arrives tomorrow, upgrading from a Sony STR-DE875.

Quick question - are the HDMI Out Main and the HDMI Out Sub outputs both active at all times? In other words, does it feed the video to both devices (tv, projector) simultaneously, or do you have to push a button to select between the two?

Has anyone tried the 4k upscaling on the onkyo. i just found this

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=7674736&CatId=4717

1500$ for a 4k tv is incredible. however the onboard upscaler is supposed to be crap.
so it need a good 4k upscaler.

correction: the seiki tv is available for 1200$ on groupon

you can set it up to output to both at the same time. if you choose this it will out at the same resolution to both units.
unfortunately there is no push button to select between the two. if you want to switch between the two, you have to go into the settings menu.

What's the proper way to assign the digital output to an HDMI source? I'm running a test PC into the front HDMI port and have the sound card running via optical, but am not getting any sound via optical.

I bought the 515 two months ago and hooked it up with JBL speakers and everything worked great. 2 weeks ago, a buddy gave me his old Polk RT55i speakers and I set these up as fronts, and again, everything worked fine. The other night, i was messing with the settings to optimize the new speakers, and on menu 2.2 Speaker Configuration I selected the option to turn off the sub (i rarely have it turned on anyways) and go fullband on the front Polk speakers. Everything seemed to work fine but yesterday when I came home, I got no audio on the stereo when i turned it on from any of the sources. I did not even get audio from headphones.

After much futzing around, checking speaker wires, settings, updating the firmware and doing a factory reset, the subwoofer power got reset as well. Now i do get audio, but as i turn the volume up or down, the audio jumps from left to right sporadically and increases in in very uneven steps (low volume at 21, nothing at 22, medium volume left speaker at 23,24, medium volume right speaker it 25, nothing from 26-28, then loud from both on 29, etc).

If i turn the subwoofer option off again, then all audio again goes away. I currently only have the original 2 jbl fronts hooked up, all other speakers removed, and i can't even run the Auddesy set up because only the right channel will emit the test tone.

Is my system fried beyond repair because i turned off the subwoofer? Any advice?

If you have not unplugged, try that and let it set a few minutes. If that does not work, use the warranty, no use waiting.
