Verizon FIOS Remote Control won't turn Onkyo Receiver on We recently got Verizon FIOS for our TV and have tried all remote codes we could find to set up our ONKYO TX-SR674 receiver to work with Verizon's remote control. The remote will turn the receiver off, but won't turn it on. Cannot figure this out. Any thoughts on what we should try??

I have the same problem with the Yamaha RX-V665... Probably the same deal as Onkyo... no toggle mode.

Onkyo uses discrete codes for 'on' and 'off', it is not a 'toggle' code like those used by other receiver manufacturers (Sony for example). So you can program the AUX button on the FiOS remote to turn the receiver on or off but not both. I use a universal remote with macros programmed to turn all the home theater equipment on and one to turn everything off.

Have this same problem with Onkyo TX-SR606- tried different codes but can't seem to get any to it properly. Best I can get is to turn receiver off and adjust volume. But will not turn on with remote.Maybe a different code??

When I first set my Onkyo up, ARC worked fine. But it does not work now. Both my LG TV and Onkyo receiver have had software updates. So, one of them screwed it up. By the way, before I got the Onkyo, I had a Yamaha which was returned. ARC NEVER worked on that receiver. So, I suspect this is an issue with the TV not the receiver.

I wish I could help you but my receiver did not work long enough to answer that question. I was never able to get help for Onkyo or Amazon to get it fixed. It's been setting in my supply room over a year.

Not much to work on here with the question, but I'll give it a try. The first and most obvious thing I would ask is whether you had an RF remote paired with the receiver before? The reason I ask is because the receiver in that case would still be in RF mode and not paired to the new receiver. You need to get the receiver back into IR mode and then go through the setup process with the new remote. If the receiver is in IR mode, then you have a broken remote.

Check the polarity on the line Could be the issue. Switch the wires on line 2. Also is one Fios and the other is a copper old line if so that could be the issue. I been their

Call Onkyo customer service. I had the same issue and they took care of the problem. My receiver was repaired and shipped back to me in about a week. I was very impressed. Hope you have the same experience.

Mine always goes to the last option I used when I turn it on. Ie. satellite, game, etc. I am using HDMI cables for all connections to my different devices, XBOX, Direct TV, LCD TV all connected to my Onkyo 7.1 receiver.

I've purchased two of these Onkyos without any problems. Perhaps you just got a lemon. See if you can return it for a new one.

Hi Tom,Just to be clear, if I want to just watch TV, I DO still have to turn the Onkyo ON and switch something. I cannot just turn the tv on and watch/listen to it without ever turning the Onkyo on and switching something?Thanks

@ Getulio L. If you are asking a question.... Perhaps you could elaborate. For example You might say: I've owned the system for 3 yrs, I've never had a problem with it before but this time.... when I .... it didn't work. Then explain the process you used to try to get it to work:. I plugged in the TX card into the unit (with the unit off). I then FIRST plugged in the remote unit and let it cycle through it's power up routine.... if there was a problem there??? or you don't see the blinking LEDs tell us that. After that powers up & ONLY after you first power on the wireless speaker unit do you then plug in the main unit.... So when you did that what happened. You have to provide information & context. Maybe someone just gave you the unit and it's your first time trying it out, maybe you've had it for years and had a a power surge etcetera etcetera etcetera how are we supposed to guess what the details of your situation are?!?

Try turning on your TV first then the receiver. I have a Logitech harmony remote and originally had this problem. Once I changed the power on order from Reciver, Cable Box (HDMI), HDTV to HDTV, Cable Box(HDMI) Reciver it did not happen again. The issue was that the receiver could not detect the HDTV. I've also had this isssue when the HDTV was set to the incorrect input.

Hi Julie, I'm not sure about a connection between your Onkyo or Denon receiver. I suggest you pose this question to the support folks at Kinivo. Their number is 855-454-6486, and their hours are Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm Pacific Time.

Thank you for your response -- I am still trying to figure out why my remote wouldn't work. I sent the TV back to Amazon.com since we couldn't get the remote to work. Where did you have your Uverse receiver located? I had mine on a shelf directly under the TV -- don't know if that makes a difference or not? This is very mysterious as no one else seems to have had this problem.

When FIOS was installed for me, the FIOS technician had set that all up...I would contact FIOS to either have one mailed to you or set up an appointment for a technician to install it

Is the receiver connected to the motor yet? Once that is done, you program it the same way you would with the motor (after you wire it, don't put the receiver cover back until the programming is done). Hold the button in the middle down, when the receiver light starts blinking release the button. Hold the remote close to it, press and hold the remote button. I believe the instructions say to hold the button until the receiver light stops flashing, but I held it for a good 30 seconds to be sure. It worked the first time on one of my remotes, but took a few tries on two other remotes until they would work. Hope this helps. Is the receiver connected to the motor yet?

I suggested to another person who was having a similar problem that she call Verizon.She thanked me and said Verizon went through everything with her and determined it was a defective Remote.And after all that they sent her a new Remote at no charge.Maybe you should try that.
