This morning when we turned on our TV we only got a blue screen. ("Of death," says my 10-year-old.) A bit of investigation shows my Onkyo 605 is still outputting videos -- it's showing the onscreen menus from the receiver -- but it's not seeming to see the signal from the three devices I have going to the HDMI INs. Direct connecting any of the devices to the TV works fine.

I'm assuming this is the receiver's HDMI circuitry going awry, but just in case anyone's seen this and has any troubleshooting advice, I'd appreciate any suggestions. Audio still works fine, on screen menus work fine, but the signals on the devices on the HDMI ins are all showing light blue.

How are you connecting three devices to the 605 - since it has only 2 HDMI inputs? If you're using an HDMI switch box, then remove the switch box from the system and try each device connected one at a time directly to your 605. There is a factory reset function for the 605; see pg 94 in the Troubleshooting section of the owners instruction manual Also, on the Onkyo website support forum, for many problems they often suggest unplugging the AVR for a least 10 minutes, then power it up again and see if it works OK. Good luck.

Whoops, yeah, it's two devices. The other one is connected directly to the TV.

Tried the unplugging thing, no luck. Haven't done the reset because of the joy of having to go through all the setup again, but that's the next step.

Though I'm probably going to just go pick up a Pioneer and say goodbye to Onkyo at this point. I'd already been eying more modern receivers.

Thanks for the troubleshooting tips, much appreciated, Sgooter!

Yep, I understand. I just replaced my 605 with a TX-NR717 - superb features. I also gave a lot of thought toward the Pioneer Elite series AVRs. Good Luck.
