How do I test my Onkyo receiver?

How do I test my Onkyo receiver?

To setup your receiver to output the test tone from the speakers, press the Setup button and select Speakers>Manual Setup>Level>Test Tone Star. You can now select and adjust the speakers’ audio level using the “UP, DWN and SIDES arrows” buttons on your remote control.

Why does my stereo receiver keep shutting off?

If a receiver is not getting enough current, it will turn itself off. If your receiver shares a wall outlet with another high-current appliance (e.g. refrigerator, air conditioner, heater, or vacuum) the receiver may shut itself off when there is insufficient current.

Why is my amp not coming on?

If the remote turn-on wire doesn’t have power, your amp won’t turn on. If the remote and power wires both check out okay, the next thing to look for is continuity on the ground wire. If the ground connection is poor, or it isn’t connected at all, the amp may fail to turn on or not work very well.

What happens if there is no fuse?

If there is a fusholder, but no fuse within it, then the circuit is incomplete and no current will flow. If a short circuit occurs, then current will continue to flow until the upstream protection kicks in (the “company fuse” in a household supply is typically around 50 to 100 times bigger than a circuit fuse).

How do I choose a fuse for my circuit?

In order to select the right amperage of the fuse, you first need to know the full-load steady-state current of the circuit at an ambient temperature of 25º C (68º F). Once the current value is determined, then a fuse rating should be selected as to be 135% of this value (taken to the next standard value).

How do you properly size a fuse?

The fuse rating should lie somewhere between these two values to allow normal operation but blow on overload. For example, if the normal expected current draw is 10A and the cable size is 25A, then a fuse rated at 15A would be appropriate.
