How to fix the HDMI switching issue that plagues the TX-SR606, HT-R960, and HT-R667 receivers. To fix it you will need 5 x 100uf at least 4v, which I got from mcmelectronics(.com), part number 31-8160. Others have purchased 100uf 35v electrolytic capacitors from Radio Shack (P/N 272-1028) for $1.29, with good results. Just be sure to put the negative side of the capacitor (it is marked) on the square side of the stamp on the circuit board where the old capacitor was removed. Also, some have reported that the handshake works after the fix but that they still have trouble with OSD. Some users have tried replacing all the 100uf caps and reported that it fixed the OSD problem.
If you try the repair, please comment on what was happening before and after replacing the caps. For example (mine):
Before: The receiver would take 5-10 min to hook up with the TV. Neither the video nor sound would work until the connection to the TV was made. The On Screen Display (OSD) didn't work, and component video in would not work going out HDMI to the TV. The problems all started at different times, and got worse over time.
After: HDMI handshake now works properly and connects after a second or two (so everything connects quickly). Component video and OSD work fine.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! I am a "never-even-tried-it-before" type, and I just listened to my blue-ray Pandora station for the first time in months. I meticulously, word-by-word, followed your instruction while I replaced the five capacitors! When I turned it on, the SAT checked itself out and then Randy Crawford's beautiful voice floated throughout the house. I would have never tried it . . .You just saved me $500.00 and gave me a hell of a dose of self confidence! Thank you.

@coryw5124 4 года назад

8 years later and still helping people! Thanks Ed, this worked like a charm, and now I know how to solder!

@TheWindbender 13 лет назад

Man, I can't begin to thank you enough. I don't know a diode from a capacitor, but I ordered the parts from Digi-Key for under $8 and had it fixed in about an hour. Had absolutely ZERO experience doing this kind of thing, but had no trouble at all with your detailed instructions. Old parts came off just like you said and I bridged the new ones in place as you suggested. Great video.

@gr8ride411 11 лет назад

I had many of the same issues with our TX SR-608 receiver expressed in this video and comments. I replaced the 3 capacitors on the hdmi board with the Radio Shack P/N 272-1028 capacitors and everything's working as it should. No more switching issues, no more momentary black outs, etc. Your video helped me a lot in tackling the repair myself. It was very easy.

@brandonyates5358 10 лет назад

Thank you so much! I successfully repaired my TX-SR606 for super cheap and I have zero experience with soldering or repairing electronics. Showing every step was very helpful.

@Jehovahstool 12 лет назад

Ed, this is one of the most informative videos I have viewed. Thanks for your time and effort to help those of use looking to save and make proper repairs. You're helping make RU-vid a hit!

@302sjd 13 лет назад

I have been dealing with this issue for about a year and had had just about given up on a reasonable solution. I had even researched and picked out a replacement AVR to be purchased after the holidays. After watching your video I went to a local store and picked up the necessary caps. After struggling a bit with the 12v/GND connector, I spent about 15 minutes with the soldering iron and the problem is fixed. Thanks, Ed, you saved me and my Onkyo.

@rkgsd 10 лет назад

196,500 views as of June 2014! Onkyo clearly has had a serious problem affecting many models, not just the 606! I'm one of them. Sounds worthy of a class action. I've also read Onkyo had setup as special web page specifically addressing the HDMI issue offering free repair signups at one time.

@GinormousK 13 лет назад

Hi Ed, Thank you for taking the time to make this tutorial. It was really great. As at least one other person mentioned, getting the black cable unplugged from the HDMI board was tough. Otherwise it was very simple and quick. Before: No HDMI video output to TV, including OSD -- started off intermittent but could reset, became progressively more common and eventually nothing would fix it. After: Everything perfect!

@bsc285 9 лет назад

Had the same problem with my TX-SR706. I replaced all 100uf 4V capacitors with radial 100uf 25v. there were 15 on my HDMI board top and bottom. Now receiver works great. I was going to spend $90.00 @ an electronics place ($1.89/capacitor + $60.00 for labor. I decided to do it myself, went to Ebay and got 20 capacitors for $8.00, and soldered them myself. Thanks for the tutorial!!!

@darthvapor6355 8 лет назад

I will be attempting this shortly on my 706, what were the symptoms of your unit? Mine takes about 15 minutes before I get an HDMI signal to the tv.

@619Purepecha 13 лет назад

Hi Ed, this week I bought me a non-working 606 at our local swap meet for $130. After watching your video instructions I went to Fry's and bought the 100 mF caps (they only had one 25V and four 63V in inventory). Spend $7.79 on them, which included tax. It took me about 20 minutes to complete the job and voila: perfect picture and sound! Thank you so much for your advice.

@DavidAndersonJC 10 лет назад

Just performed this surgery on a friend's receiver (HT-R667). I used Digikey part PCE3762CT-ND (6.3V, 100uF, 2000h lifetime @ 105C, and the same size as the original part). Since I had the tools, I used hot air to remove the old caps rather than break them off, and installed the new ones with my iron. It worked perfectly! Before the fix, the receiver took 20-30min to get any signal to the TV. After replacing the caps, the receiver and TV pair up in a few seconds, and everything once again works as it should. Thanks for the video! It was extremely helpful. One piece of advice I'd give to others trying this hack: don't forget to check the polarity of the capacitors before you solder them on! I had to desolder a couple in shame after realizing that I'd installed them back to front.

@unclematt3 4 года назад

Ed, thank you so much. I used your suggested capacitors in the more information section above (100uf 4v) and replaced all five. They fix perfectly on the board. The amp now switches quickly between my Xbox and cable TV and DVD player. No more waiting 10 minutes for things to start working, and having to try 5 or 6 times to go from TV to the Xbox. Can't thank you enough.

@lasserull 12 лет назад

I did the cap replacement on my TX-SR606 following this instruction video the other day and the receiver now work flawlessly. Before the replacement, green lines were scattered on the screen on one input channel and the image disappeared for a few seconds on all channels. This happened randomly but more frequent when the receiver was not warmed up. This got worse over time. With no previous soldering experience I manage to replace the caps with the stock model and now it works great. Awesome!

@JeffZhang007 11 лет назад

Fixed my 606 with the help of this video. There were actually 10 capacitors; I ordered from digikey, 100uf 10v. Replaced all 10. Now my hdmi works great!!

@UrgentementeUK 12 лет назад

Fixed my TX-SR606 this evening :) Great guide,I re-watched it a few times during my repair just to be sure. I used 100uF 10V for the main replacements,also bought 1uF 50V polycaps for the regulators,I struggled to get the solder to stick to the regulator tab, so left it for now,didn't want to cook anything. Replaced the 5 capacitors, board back in , powered up and so far all is great.Quick HDMI switching, and it now passes 1080p through from my blu-ray,where it wouldn't before the repair Thanks.

@totiSERGO 13 лет назад

Eddie, many thanks for this tutorial. You saved my life. I was getting despred with my Onkyo reciver, everything what was pluged to hdmi port, didnt worked. I fixed it like in the tutorial. But I couldn find 100uf 4V capacitors in my store, so I decided to go with 100uf 16V and it works like a charm. The seller also sad, that the higher V cant hurt, and he was right. So everything is working fine now. Thanks again!

@Julien9130 6 лет назад

I'm so happy ! I did it ! I have a HT-R960 and he didn't want to display anything, I just follow step by step your advices, and it works. For only few euros to buy the capacitors, the receiver works again ! It's so cool !

@iamjakex 11 лет назад

I just completed this repair successfully. I replaced all 5 of the caps as Ed pointed out. I had trouble soldering on the caps with the plastic base, so I removed it and created 'little feet' like Ed did with his 'larger' caps. The whole process took me ~1hr due to removal and soldering. I took my time and everything turned on perfectly! Handshake is now instant! It was starting to take ~5 min before. Perfect fix.

@allunavaliable 13 лет назад

Worked like a charm on my SR606! Replaced the five caps with four Radio Shack 100uf 35v caps and one 220uf 35v cap (purchased by mistake, as it was in the same rack as the 100uf caps). Wouldn't handshake before, and after the fix, everything connects in a second or two, just like when the receiver was new. I almost can't believe it works! Thanks for the video!

@PharmerJohn1 12 лет назад

First time I've ever posted to You Tube. My receiver has been going out for about a year now. There was no On Screen Display and I had to keep switching from source to source and turning unit on and off in the hopes of having HDMI come on line. Yesterday morning I had had enough. I took off 6 caps instead of 5 as I got confused as to which to remove. After replacing all caps, unit works just fine. Thanks a million as I was about to buy another unit but definitely not Onkyo.

@kiapolo 5 лет назад

October 2018: Thank you for posting this video. My TX-SR606 had FINALLY started exhibiting HDMI issues. Ordered the parts and replaced the five caps...and it's BACK TO LIFE!!! Good as new!!!! Thank you!!!

@jondrax 13 лет назад

dude first of all thanks a lot! i had this problem about 3 months now and i was about to buy a new one then i came across to your video and wallah! my 606 is up and running again like the first time i bought it.i went to Radio Shak and bought 100uf 35V capacitors and it works like a charm i couldnt find any 4V.not to mention this is my first time ever soldering your tutorial was very clear and simple thanks again for saving me a lot of money.

@Bartman1360 13 лет назад

I followed your instructions exactly and it worked!! I went to Radio Shack and picked up the 100uf 35v electrolytic capacitors. They only had four in stock so I used one 100uf 50v. I called a local electronics supply company (Radio Shack had the parts but no idea) and asked if they would work and they said yes as long as you use a 100uf one, the voltage is basically the voltage at which they will blow. Thanks so much for your video!!!

@DonPompo 12 лет назад

Thanks for taking the time to post this fix. It worked like a charm. In the beginning I was worried because I ripped a bit of the board when pulling out one of the capacitors. But for a few dollars and for the first time, I don' t have to wait for the signal to come on. Thank you so much!

@JordanGrant98 12 лет назад

Ed, excellent work. I just did the repair on my SR606 with 5 100uF, 25 volt electrolytic capacitors I picked up at Fry's Electronics for about $7. I got my OSD back, and switching seems to be working fine now. thanks for taking the time!

@lmdean0 11 лет назад

Ed - Thanks so much for posting this. I was getting ready to replace my 2008 HT-2667 receiver because of HDMI switching issues (which had been steadily degrading over the past year) when I saw your video. I replaced the 5 capacitors (with some soldering help from my retired IBM engineer dad) using the Radio Shack caps and the receiver is back up and running with no issues. I think getting the HDMI board out was the hardest part! Thanks!

@destrada254 12 лет назад

Worked for my TX-SR606, bought the Radio Shack capacitors. Took about 15-20 min. Now it switches within seconds. Save me alot because i was gonna replace it already. Thank you very much for the very detailed video and instructions.

@nirv 13 лет назад

My Onkyo HT-R667 was only taking about five minutes to warm up but it was annoying, so I followed all of your steps and it works instantly now (I filmed it but don't plan to upload). I used a cheap soldering iron from Radioshack along with 5 of their 100uf 35v capacitors which totaled about $18. Followed your instructions and did it in less than an hour. Thanks for doing a competent and thorough tutorial!

@RyanSackenheim 11 лет назад

Thank you very much for this. I've been living with this for months now and thought the receiver was a goner. My jaw dropped when it came on and instantly had picture. Not only that I found the capacitors from some old equipment by chance, so it really didn't cost me anything other than 30 min of my time.

@pholsan 13 лет назад

Glad I found this video. I bought mine off of craigslist last night. The guy I got it from said that it kept losing signal so he sold it to me for 50 bucks. I went and got the capacitors from radio shack replaced them in about 45 min and it works like new, not to bad for a $60 investment. Thanks a bunch for making the video.

@skipjaw53 12 лет назад

Excellent video! I was having the same issue with my SR606 in that it took approximately 10 min of warm up time before I would get video. The audio would cut in and out until the unit warmed up. Had the cable company replace the cable box and no change. Watched your video and went to Radio Shack and bought their 100uf caps. Installed them on the board by laying them horizontally on the circuit board to save space. Took about 45 min start to finish and now everything works flawlessly.

@sageweb 11 лет назад

Thank-You so much for taking the time to make this video. My receiver was taking forever to switch HDMI inputs..like from watching TV to watching DVD, or any of the items I have hooked up..one of the ports would never switch. Anyways ..I went to radio shack got the caps..replaced the 5 you show and it works like a champ now. switches super fast..I am shocked I put up with the delay so long. So this is about an 8 dollar fix. Super thankful for you taking the time for putting this up.

@steverh78 12 лет назад

I removed the board and had a friend who is handy with soldering circuit boards replace the caps. He used 100mf, 35 and 40v. HDMI handshake would take 5 min+ for xbox and blu-ray (sat box always OK). Works perfectly now. Went from pricing out replacement receivers to getting it fixed for price of fast food lunch. This was all after I dropped the board twice! Thank you for the great explanation.

@jiminboo 11 лет назад

This is the most useful video on RU-vid for owners of this AVR. Thank you Ed! Now my HDMI works flawlessly! On a side note, love the pants!

@Crikeys57 13 лет назад

You are a legend -Been banging my head against the wall for about 12 months trying to figure it out -saw your video today so went out and bought the parts for a total of $1.35au at Jaycar and took about 40 minutes to do it. As soon as I turned it on, it picked up the 4 hdmi inputs straight away. Earlier it took 20 minutes to recognise the PS3. Thanks again - I actually just joined You Tube so I could thank you - so Thank-You for saving me about $300 and giving me my sanity back.

@Lane42 13 лет назад

Thanks Ed for putting this video together. I've been fighting this same problem for several months now. The HDMI ports and then finally the OSD would come up one by one over some time. Lately it's been taking around 30 minutes for it all to start working. After replacing the capacitors the receiver works like brand new. The only issue I had with the procedure was figuring out how to release the power cable. You have to press on the top. Took me a while to figure that out.

@sbranch1 11 лет назад

Thank you very much for this video. I used the 100uf 35v capacitors from Radio Shack. The trip to the store took longer than the actual repair. Again, thank you for saving me some money.

@kjlonline 10 лет назад

Thank you so much for this video. I have just saved myself about $300 by doing it myself. My Integra 5.9 AV receiver did exactly what yours did, slowly my HDMI input faded to nothing, so replacing the capacitors was the only thing to do. I put in 5 x 100uf 16V capacitors and the receiver works an absolute treat. Cost was $7.50 for 10 capacitors (i broke 2 new ones - connector snapped) and a stater soldering kit $35 TOTAL $42.50. Just to look at it a shop would have charged $50, so I still saved money.

@StratManDan52 12 лет назад

I have discovered the condition you spoke of is a chronic ill for 3 units (mine, my son in law and a friend) in my circle....all had the same issue. I replaced the caps as you suggested and it cured each one. Thank you for taking the time to put it here on youtube. BTW, I upgraded to 6v caps that increased the life expectancy to 2k hours.

@roshinobi 13 лет назад

Before: 2.5 years ownership. Same as everyone else, it slowly took longer and longer for the HDMI handshake to take place. Yesterday, I waited 9 hours, and nothing happened, so I imagine it was done for good. After: Perfection. Everything works, even the menus that other people are having trouble with. I had zero soldering experience going into this. Radio Shack only had 2 of the 100uf 35v, so I bought 3 100uf 50v. Works fine. Ed, thank you. You saved me hundreds of dollars.

@TeslaRoger 13 лет назад

You are the man. I had the exact same issues at you. I am definitely going to try this. Component video connections didn't work, 3 out of 4 hdmi ports didn't work and onscreen menu didn't show up. You explain everything so well and have very good camera angles on everything. I wish all of youtube had high quality well produced videos as you. Keep up the good work and thank you so much.

@ludedude 12 лет назад

Before finding this video my SR606 was taking up to 20 minutes to show the video/audio. It would just flash no signal until it "warmed up". My HTCP would only work on 24hz and would NEVER work with 60hz. After watching this guide and replacing 5 of the caps, it now works wonderfully!!! Thanks so much for the video!!!!

@dtsammons 12 лет назад

Worked great for my HT-R667 too. I didn't have any soldering experience either. I purchased the capacitors at Radio Shack per your instructions, followed the rest of your instructions and after about 20-30 minutes it works great. Thanks for the great video.

@alexproveaux4007 10 лет назад

I've got the HT-R667 out of warranty with these exact symptoms and this fixed it right up.

@mattuk180586 12 лет назад

I eventually got it off, but I was afraid I was going to break it if I pulled too hard. I couldn't figure out how to get those 4 black wires out of the white connector either. I worked on the board with that still attached. Thank you so much for this video. You saved me $350. I was about to go buy the new TX-SR609 and give up on this one. By the way, the one I fixed was the TX-SR606.

@Linus8984 13 лет назад

Ed- amazing! i bought 5 of the 100uf 35v caps from a local shop. after an hour i had the 5 caps replaced and my 606 up and running. thank you sir for this video!

@jmwatts 13 лет назад

Another successful fix, thanks, Eddie! I got my capacitors at Fry's for a buck a piece, got higher voltage 25V and high temperature rated. This fixed both my HDMI switching as well as upconversion, which had failed altogether. One thing you might want to mention is that on a capactior, the color or stripe side is the negative side. And when you look at the black surface mount plastic square, the side with the edges cut off is the positive side.

@barrooze 13 лет назад

After: Works perfectly! I had some big issues with the repair, tho. The power cable was stuck and i ripped the inner 3 wires (solder wire to all 5 to extend the cable) and one of the leads on the front cap actually tore the IC board. I got a glob of solder to stick and apparently it was enough to complete the circuit. This is the first IC board mod I've done and I was very apprehensive. I waited about 10 months to do the fix and with your video I was able to build the confidence to get it done.

@vistamax12 11 лет назад

Thank you very much for your suggestion. The Cap I destroyed is the one that's all by itself on one side of the board. Looking at it just now, I decided not to try additional repairs. In time, I'll either get an new board, or a new (different make) receiver. Your help was much appreciated. Thanks again!

@cremaster6 12 лет назад

Repair worked great using 5x Radio Shack (P/N 272-1028) for my Onkyo HT-R960. Before: HDMI1 - Failed about 10 months ago, took 10-15 minutes to handshake HDMI2 - Starting to fail, occasionally took 5 minutes to handshake HDMI3 - NEVER worked correctly, always took 5 minutes to handshake HDMI4 - Starting to fail, occasionally took 5 minutes to handshake After: HDMI1 - Works PERFECTLY! HDMI2 - Works PERFECTLY! HDMI3 - Works PERFECTLY! HDMI4 - Works PERFECTLY! Thank you, Ed!

@cremaster6 6 лет назад

Referred to this video again to do this repair a second time... five years later!

@gadgetman2000 13 лет назад

No soldering experience, but followed this and I now have a working, hdmi switching amp again! Much appreciated, great tutorial.

@MrSerbeus 11 лет назад

My 606 had this exact problem, just got the parts in and did the repair. It looks to be working perfectly, very responsive and all receiver channels are working. Thank you so much for the awesome video!

@monkeymindboy 12 лет назад

Thanks for the info Ed! This saved me a lot of money from having to buy a new receiver. I purchased the Radio Shack capacitors uf100 35v and they worked perfectly. The capacitors were so large that I had to flip the cable on the board underneath the HDMI board to be able to re-seat everything. The problem I was having was it took 10-40 minutes for the receiver to turn on to get picture and sound. The only thing that isn't working for me now is the OSD. Not a big deal at all.

@voxygenprime 9 лет назад

Many thanks for posting this video. I have the HT-R960 and before the fix it was behaving exactly as you describe, taking longer and longer to recognise Sky HD box / Apple TV / PS3. I carried out the fix using 10V, 100uf capacitors from Maplins as in the UK. Now its back to its original state and immediately recognises HDMI signals. Not bad for £2.50.

@JohnBezanis 13 лет назад

Thanks so much for this video! My receiver was experiencing problems with the HDMI board as well. Switched the 5 capacitors with 5 100uf 35v electrolytic capacitors from Radio Shack (P/N 272-1028) and now it works great. Thanks for saving me a bunch of money and avoiding having to unwire, send my receiver out, go a few days without it, and rewire it.

@Ulvens 6 лет назад

Can not thank you enough! Worked like a charm, and this was my first soldering session. Thanks! * Before fix everything worked, except the hdmi out. No signal to TV. After the fix, the onscreen menu opened, and everything works. Used 100uF 25V Capacitors, with long stems. Easier to solder. Model 100UF25VCAPV

@RKGraves 12 лет назад

Ed, Thank You! We had the symptom described by so many with our 3 yr old Onkyo HT-R667. Ours required a 5- 10 min. warm up before displaying any HD content, I successfully completed the repair in about 1 hour. Excellent how-to video! I used 100uf radial lead capacitors from Radio Shack PN 272-1044 ($1.49ea). I had trouble getting the black wires to disconnect from the HDMI board so I left them connected and carefully worked on the board inside the unit. Again, Thank You!

@ivandiazdeleon 11 лет назад

Ed - this is great video, i can fix my HT-R960 receiver with your video instructions in about 30 minutes, first capacitor was the learning curve the other 4 was easy, thanks for this video is very useful for those we got this issue. This looks like general Onkyo problem as i can see. I live in Mexico and i used 100uf, 25v, 105c electrolytic capacitors from Steren Store (very popular in Mexico). I followed your steps and now im using again my X360 & PS3!!! i spend 5 USD to fix it, amazing!!!

@jasondunn8569 11 лет назад

For everyone out there with a TX-SR806 with the same problem, this definitely works. However, there are 13 100uf caps that need replaced. I just did this to my out of warranty 806, and it worked perfectly (Even with accidentally removing a wrong cap and having to replace it as well :) ) Thanks Ed!!

@metalfasha 11 лет назад

I have an Onkyo TX-SR606 and this worked awesome! I've had this receiver about 3 years and it has gotten worse over time. I had everything hooked up by hdmi cables... an Xbox 360, a LG Blue ray player, Wii and cable TV. The only one that never gave me a problem was the cable tv. The Xbox was the worst and usually take about 10 minutes to show video if ever. I finally had to hook everything up except the cable directly to the tv. I used the radio shack P/N 272-1028 and worked great. Thanks!

@Tomboygal123 13 лет назад

Its working!!!!! Re soldered all caps re seated the board and it started up no problem. Thanks for taking the time to post the video Ed.

@dstargard 12 лет назад

I changed the 4 caps you suggested. Got my full volume back (before the output on all sources was low). HDMI inputs still did not work. Changed all, total 10 capacitors, 100UF at 4Volt, two on top of board, 8 on bottom of board, now it works fine. Thanks for the tip.

@trondhemaus 12 лет назад

Had the same problem, a tx-sr606, changed those capacitors with 16v 100uF from an old settop box, worked like a charm. My onkyo started out with problems that it would not send vid/sound to the tv after about 5-10 minutes, but today, it just stopped totally and would not work at all. Much thanks to you it now pops up the second my tv is on, thanks a bunch! :D

@rFstop 12 лет назад

I had issues with my 606 as well, the HDMI daughter board died in about a two hour period of time. No signal was also displayed on my TV. I received the correct capacitors yesterday got them soldered on and it works fantastic now! Thanks so much for this video, about the only thing it didn't cover is the removal of the power cable on the board itself, its a bit tricky but you have to depress the white connector and pull the five wires out carefully.

@nickandjenny 12 лет назад

Thanks so much Ed. I followed your instructions and my useless TX-SR606 is working great again! The most difficult part for me was getting the power connection out from the board. I used some needle nose pliers and held the white connector down while pulling the wire with the pliers. Putting it back in was easy.

@goonzworth 13 лет назад

Just completed this repair today with a mix of 35 and 50 V 100uf capacitors from radio shack. Works great now. While removing one of the old capacitors, it seemed to slightly peel back the conductor on the surrounding printed board (I probably pulled to hard), so I was a little worried about that but no problems to report. I'm glad I saved 600 bucks or more over buying a new one!

@jimshank4433 12 лет назад

A huge thanks for posting this. I went the Radio Shack route for the parts. I am by no means an expert at soldering but with your instructions, it was pretty easy. My TX-SR606 works better than new with all HDMI ports working correctly (HTPC and Wii) as well as the return of all of my on-screen menus. I had first thought the problem was with my HTPC but soon the Wii stopped working as well. Thanks to you I save $500 on a new amp!

@Crydes 11 лет назад

I just did this on mine and I have poor coordination, but my first time soldering was enough to save this receiver. This saved me about $300 from buying a new receiver (had to buy new tools)! You rock Ed.

@hoteltango1 11 лет назад

I was having an issue with switching only from the component connection and lack of OSD. Bought a 40w solder kit and 8 x 6.3v 100 uf caps from maplins, bargain at £18.61 incl delivery. The whole thing took 75mins to do, mainly because I'd never soldered anything before. It was a bit untidy but the connections were good and now eveything works perfectly. I only replaced the 5 caps illustrated with the idea of replacing them all if needed. Really pleased with the outcome. Big up to Ed. Cheers bud.

@drewmiller11 7 лет назад

I resurrected my Onkyo TX-NR607 with the help of your video. Thank you!

@dkendri 12 лет назад

This fix worked for me. Before the fix, my the 606 would cut off when PS3 or xbox360 was the source, the setup menu would not appear on the TV, constantly said "No Signal" on the 606 LCD display, and was just unreliable in switching between HDMI sources. After the fix, HDMI switching was quick and responsive, setup menu appeared on the OSD, no more random power losses with 360 or PS3, and all is well. Thank you Ed, good video!

@thkohlb 13 лет назад

Amazingly helpful. I ordered 6 caps (1 to be safe) and went to work. Only took about 15 minutes and it seems to work great now. Thanks so much!

Before: My receiver started to take from 5 to 10 mins to get hdmi signals (I mostly used the game hdmi slot), and then it took, from 30 mins to hours for it to work. And sometimes the sound was null and then worked within a few more minutes it showed an image. After: HDMI works fine again, amazing tutorial, well explained. Saved me a lot of money. I replaced the 5 old capacitors with some 100uf 16v ones.

Excellent video, I never soldered before, but now I have a fully functional tx-sr606 again.

Replaced the 5 capacitors on my friends Onkyo just as shown on the video. It works now!! Thank you for a great tutorial. Every thing is explained very clearly.

@georgehaddad4771 10 лет назад

It worked!!!! I followed your instructions and everything works now. Thanks you so much for sharing this knowledge and instructions.

Thanks for the video!!! I replaced the 5 caps with the 35v ones from Radio Shack and now my OSD is back and my HDMI switches almost instantly!!! It's a nice sense of accomplishment to fix something like this myself and not need to take it to a repair shop.

Before: Had the receiver for about 3 years. On Screen Display stopped working about a year ago. I didn't care much since I rarely used it. Receiver takes multiple minutes to recognize anything when first turned on. Cable box always worked after a few minutes. PS3 not recognized. HDMI from computer worked 25% of the time. After: Used 100uf 50V caps from Radioshack. Now recognizes all HDMI ports within 3 seconds. OSD still not working but I dont care. This was a huge help! Thank you!

Using your video my 606 works perfectly now. Prior to fix I had same symptoms as you. STB HDMI input took 3 or 4 minutes to come on. DVD wouldn't come up at all and no OSD. I used the Mouser 661-PSA10VB100M 10V 100 microF caps. I left the leads long enough for easy soldering. I also added the four 1 microF bypasses to the VR's. I used a 23 Watt pencil, which was fine for the 100's but was small for the bypasses to the tabs. Thanks much!!

Thank you! This video just me the trouble of buying a new receiver prematurely. I was having issues with getting video and audio from a couple of my HDMI ports. I bought the capacitors from radio shack (272-1028) for $1.39 a piece. Removed the old ones and attached the new ones. Rebooked up all the components and speakers. It now works like new. I am able to turn the receiver on and choose which source HDMI I want and it works! Thank you.

Thanks for the video Ed, I got my Onkyo TX-SR607 working by following your guide (and the comments on the video). I'm going to have a hard time recommending Onkyo to anyone after this ordeal. Their service center wanted me to pay $215 to have this fixed. Obviously after hearing that I realized that I was being suckered.If I had a small complaint, I wish the video was edited to show the process sequentially.

Hey Ed. I know this video is old, but I wanted to say thanks. I was about to dump a lot of money down the drain on a comparable new unit when I saw this and decided to go for it. I followed the steps here and viola! It's as good as new. If I ever see you, I am buying you a beer.

@alkesh1980 11 лет назад

Thanks Ed!! I followed your video and now my receiver works great. I was having the same issue as most others. It would take a longtime to pickup the HDMI signal on my cable box, Xbox, whatever the input. Now its practically instant. Saved me from buying a new receiver.

@chiparooo 13 лет назад

Great video. I used 100mf x 6.3v caps from our local electronics store and they worked just fine. Thanks for saving me hundreds of dollars for a new receiver!

@dennisrodz 12 лет назад

Woooohhooooo, YES!!!!! Ed many, many thanks. Problems started about 2 years ago when the On Screen Menu didn't show up. Then I started having problems with switching the HDMI ports. It gradually became worst to the point where I could use my AppleTV or PS3 anymore. I replaced the 5 caps with 100uF 10Watts pod capacitors I found at a local store. It worked like a charm. It switches very fast and I couldn't hear the clicking sound it made before. Thanks again Ed.

@abrown0009 11 лет назад

Ed, many many thanks for this video. i just did the fix as you suggested and it worked perfectly. took my about 2 hours from start to finish for the whole project. first time soldering in 20 years since shop class at school. wasn't the prettiest thing, but it worked and that's all the counts!

@neilburton2132 11 лет назад

My TX-SR806 had the same problem and after following the video i replaced 13 caps and it is now as good as new. Thanks Ed your a Legend!!!

@eil2017 12 лет назад

5) over-sized capacitors may be better than stock because having a few extra millimeters to work with would have made this easier, but stock worked. Thank you again for taking the time to make this video. It saved me $300-$500 on a new component, but let it be said, it's my last Onkyo purchase ever.

@QBBabb 12 лет назад

Thanks for the demo. I was able to fix my 606 with no trouble at all. However, even though the HDMI switching did come back, I still do not have the onscreen display back, but I can live without it. After all, I've been without it for 2 years! I will need to purchase a cooling fan as I've already seen signs of it overheating again. Every time I would change the tv channel, I would have no audio. I put a fan on it, and instantly it worked like a champ.

@gerelinko 12 лет назад

Ed you rock man I fixed my Onkyo TX-SR606 hdmi just like you show in your video. Before, if I turn my TV or receiver off and if I try to turn them back on in 2-3 hours or more, I had to wait 10 to 30 min and it was getting worse with time. And lately just one resolution was passing through 1024x768 (my TV native). No OSD of course, I never had it, even when I bought it brand new. Now everything is fine-I have OSD, no problem with resolutions and if tomorrow I have to wait to connect Yamaha it is

@damagecow 13 лет назад

Wow, that was amazing. I picked up 3 16 V and 2 32V capacitors from Frys. Lousy soldering job and it still worked. Had to buy forcepts, solder, and iron. Total of about $20-25 bucks. Thank you so much. Before: CBL/SAT worked after few minutes of warm up. PS3 would not work on any ports. AFTER: No warmup, PS3 working on DVD, and OSD works again. Amazing video. Thanks,

@syrne 11 лет назад

Wow, this was such a simple fix. Had no picture or sound from any of the HDMI ports. Followed the video using the parts from radio shack and 2 hours later everything is working perfectly.

@prakashdarji7112 11 лет назад

Hey Ed, great video. I have a TX-SR875 and followed instructions here and replaced all 12 100mf capacitors with parts from radio shack and it solved all my issues... The primary issue was audio buzzing but slow switching was also an issue. Now, no more issues... Thanks!

@sickbird99 12 лет назад

Before : No OSD menu; Component not being passed thru to HDMI output; More and more regular dropouts, lasting a couple of seconds at a time; lines flashed across the screen intermittently. After : No more dropouts or flashing lines; OSD menu now works perfectly. Component passthru works as it should. Thanks for this guide. Saved me about £200.

@RoninRecords 13 лет назад

Just fixed mine with caps from Digikey, too. Works like a charm!!! I couldn't get my x-Box or Blu-Ray to play unless I waited for about 15 min. My Wii never worked. Now everything works perfectly! Thanks to you and the guys at HiDef Forum!!! You Rock!

@ajju2209 12 лет назад

Wow!!...just WOW!!!...You just saved me a few hundred dollars. I was going to throw it away. The only thing I did is used 100uf, 6.3 volts because of local availability. $5 and done! According to the electronics store guy, I could go higher in voltage od the capacitor as long as the uf remained the same. THANK YOU!! thank you!! THANK YOU!!

@goukipau 12 лет назад

I would really like to thank you. I had the same problem, but no warranty anymore (went to Onkyo but they turned me down...) I got the HDMI board and went to a local electronic store and they fixed this for me for 30 euro. Put it back and got it perfectlyworking again!! THANK YOU! Good video, good comment and nicely explained. A++

@Tribalvisiontruck 11 лет назад

Thanks Ed. I have the Onkyo TX-SR806 with the same HDMI switching issues everyone else is having. I went to radio shack and they were worthless. they only had 1 Capacitor in each local store and I needed 13 for my receiver @ $4.95 each.. I decided to order the Caps online from Mouser Electronics 35v 100uF 20%. Much cheaper, It was my first attempt at soldering to a circuit board. I took my time and it worked great. I held down the base and pulled the cap apart, then the base. easiest method...

@MichaelMerritt_of_sf 10 лет назад

Woo! Replaced the 5 100uf capacitors on the bottom of HDMI board with radio shack equivalent and the switching is much faster and finally reliable. Thanks for posting this, saved me buying a new receiver. Now can someone please post information on how to install a fan into their receiver? Thanks!
