All,
Have a Onkyo HT-R290 that a friend basically gave me as he had issues with it and has since purchased another unit. He said he was watching a movie on it and it just went off.
To my knowledge, he never pursued a repair or a service inquiry of any kind.
The unit is cosmetically clean but upon power up the "Check Speaker Wire Setup" very briefly (I mean briefly appears) and then immediately clears its screen.
You here the relay kick and then kick off. So am guessing the screen display is brief due to it powering down due to a failure internally some place.
I would also like to add I do not have any speakers of any kind hooked up to it so the "Check Speak Wire Setup" Message makes some sense.
I have removed the cover, I do have electrical experience during my under-grad/graduate studies in computer science. I ended up removing some very light dust and did check the three fuses for continuity. All fuses were good.
So I am looking at options to get this thing working; (I See there are refurbished and new units with speakers for around $250)
1) Does anyone have or know where to get a service manual for this unit?
2) Any ideas what may have failed or some trouble shooting steps (I tried the Clear setting process outlined on Onkyo)
3) Has anyone dealt with Onkyo service...Is this maybe something they could fix reasonably? (Turn around time is not of high importance)
4) Is there a parts supply house used/new that could have the parts/boards required?
Thanks for the help,
Chris
