So... I have a room in my basement that has already been finished.  Due to an unforeseen disaster (flood) said room is now being re-purposed.  Although this room didn't sustain any damage we are rearranging our basement and I now have the opportunity to do what I've always wanted to... build a...

I've got the following setup (since 2007). Onkyo TX-SR706 http://www.onkyousa.com/Products/model.php?m=TX-SR706&class=Receiver 5.1 with Athena speakers Center: AS-C1.2 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000A0R4FY Front L&R: AS-F2.2...

I recently upgraded my HT speakers as: GoldenEar Triton 7's, Super Center X and Super sats. Dual SVS PB1000 I am driving them using my old Onkyo 706 receiver hooked to Oppo BD103D I am having problem with the base response. The base coming out of my towers is overwhelming the bass from...

 I've had the 706 for roughly 5 years now and it recently broke! It appears to respond to input fine but it plays back anything and everything with hissing and popping. Doesn't matter if it's from an optical source or electrical source. It does it over all connected speakers, even the sub. I've...

 Just like many of us thought I was done with having to research & purchase an avr after getting my Onkyo 706 from acc4less... You know the drill, 3 years later hdmi board decide to go... So everyone is questioning durability / reliability of Onkyo products for good reason. Really having a...

I am using it to power my turn table, so I'm only needing the front left and right channels for stereo. In every listening mode except "pure audio," there is a crackle and a popping, in some listening modes the popping is louder than others. It went away for one night, but now it's back. As...

 Greetings   I am interested in any recommendations on either a HDMI switcher or matrix. What I am trying to do is simplify my HDMI connections to my TV. I currently own an Onkyo TX-SR706 receiver. One of my initial hopes was that I could connect all my HDMI devices through the receiver and...

I'm trying to do the following: I want to run the ROKU to both the TV and my AVR. I want to watch non-encoded TV shows using the TV sound and then when I want to watch a movie or concert I want to run the sound through the AVR. My AVR does not have the ability to do HDMI Pass thru. I tried a...

I am trying to connect to TX-SR706 IR from another room, but do cannot figure out where the IR Eye is on this unit to put connector pads

New house, new thread, I suppose... Here's the link to my original setup in my old place: http://www.avsforum.com/t/1332738/devos-den I thought that the new setup warranted a new thread, due to some new equipment and a new home. Most of the same old equipment, with a couple new things...

I'm trying to play skyrim with my PC with s/pdif optical out. It sounds horrible. My old Sony receiver did not have this issue. There must be some setting I'm missing on the Onkyo. Any ideas, blu-ray over s/pdif sounds fine. Anything from the pc including mp3's just does not sound right. I...

Here is the problem. I have setup a small office system in an attempt to mimic my home theaters' performance. Office 7.2 system: Office 11'x12' Onyko TX-SR706 SAMSUNG BD-1600 FR Monitor 40 series II Center CS1 Four S and SB Monitor 30 series II 1 KLH 15" and 1 Audiosource 15" subs...

I've had my receiver since 2008, and I haven't had any real issues with it (except 1080p passthrough ). Just the other day however, I started having what seem to be audio processing issues. Regardless of connection (HDMI and Optical at least), there is a new and significant audio delay from...

Good evening I noticed that my Onkyo does not properly decode movie sound track and always use the last setting used. Like tonight i was watching a blu-ray movie with master audio sound track but the onkyo was locked on thx cinema . Same thing last weekend it did not decoded the sound track...

Well... I assume this thread might be getting a lot of action soon. The 706 comes with the MultiEQ + DynamicEQ + 1080P + a plethora of HDMI ins + the all important blue back-lit volume knob--that is what sold me. I have one being delivered this week. I will report back with my initial...
