Hi Guys,


I have an Onkyo 707 which recently developed a fault, It randomly goes into 'speaker calibration' mode.

By jiggling the mic in the mic input it showed that there was something loose causing it to think the mic was being inserted and then sending the Onkyo into the calibration mode.

Plugging and unplugging the mic would temporarily fix the problem.


Unfortunately, this now happens every time I turn it on and no amount of jiggling the mic will resolve it.


So, my question is... is there somewhere in the setup where I can disable the 'auto detect' for the mic. I have looked everywhere but to no avail.


Thanks for any help or advice.

AFAIK, no. You could try blowing some compressed air into the mic jack, otherwise, you'll need to get the unit repaired to resolve the issue.

Thanks for the advice. I tried that and a small ring of metal cam out off the front of the connector.

So, I guess thats what was loose. Result is still the same as before.


If i could just hard wire it to 'off' I would be happy as I was contemplating geting a new 616 and using this in another room.

Like I said ... either warranty repair, or if out of warranty, then pop the top and see if you can somehow disconnect the mic contact at the jack.

Think I will pop the lid and disconnect or hardwire the mic connector. Thanks for the advice.
