r/Onkyo

Running an Onkyo TX-RZ30 with an LG G6 (OLED83G6WUA, 2026 model) connected via HDMI ARC/eARC.

CEC power off works perfectly. When I turn off the TV, the receiver shuts down. But when I turn the TV back on, the RZ30 stays in standby. I have to grab the Onkyo remote or use the app to power it on separately.

I've also done a full factory reset on the RZ30 with no change in behavior.

If my source is digital the RZ-50 dac converts the signal. So in pure direct the dac still converts the signal so how much of a difference does it really have on the sound If still using the same dac

I really like my Onkyo RZ900. It was their flagship and sounds really good and powerful. However, when I first got it years ago, I calibrated it using Audyssey. The result was bad. I ended up doing something really basic. I used a sound meter to test the output of each of my speakers and adjusted their sound level to around 90db. It sounds much better. Then I eq it further to my taste. Nothing scientific.

I am sure my system is poorly calibrated. I don’t want to replace the AVR because it is still like brand new. Is there any option to calibrate it further?

Any advice is highly appreciated

Hi.

Had my Onkyo over a year. I’ve often noticed a ticking noise that can start after a short while of the unit being powered on. Can continue ticking the whole time the unit is on.

I won’t hear it as soon as the audio is loud. But quiet scenes it’s very noticeable.

I got frustrated once and gave it a rather large tap on top of the unit and it stops. But can then start again not long after.

Any thoughts what it could be?

To get something out of the way, to me the only advantage of having Dirac Live included in this receiver is that it gives me the closest thing to a parametric EQ that I can get. Properly set, it's better than any other EQ new or old.

Now, trying to do the calibration tests with the Dirac Live app on my PC is a nightmare. I keep getting errors that it's either too low or so high it's clipping, so I did the basic test that comes included in the Onkyo Controller app. Not the Dirac Live app, but the one you do all inside the Onkyo app. That test is much better, because you can choose only 3 positions, which is more than enough because I don't have a proper home theater in a dedicated room, it's just my bedroom.

And this test also makes the setup much easier. But it has a major problem. I don't believe that EQ should be any different from speaker to speaker, unless you have a set that is not the same brand and model as the rest in the full range sets. In my case I have a pair of JBLs that I set as front height speakers, and the rest are Emotiva, plus a BIC America subwoofer.

The problem is, I can't copy the front curve to the other three groups, the surrounds, the height ones (which sound almost like the Emotiva with a little more emphasis on the mid highs), and the center speaker. I have to try to replicate those by hand, using the Apple Pencil on my iPad, and I can get them close enough, but I would like to have them be exactly the same. Basically I want this to be the same for all groups:

As far as I can tell, there's no way to copy a curve to another group, and there's no way to edit each point by entering text. Did I miss something? Is there a way to do this?

So I started setting up this AVR for my home theater rig just a few days ago, and ever since the first attempt, I've been having this problem where no image will show on the display from ANY kind of source. From what I can tell, the AVR recognizes both the display and any input source I try- and vice versa. The display I'm using currently is an LG A2 (this will change to a C5 in the near future), and I have ARC and CEC settings enabled for it. On the 7100, I have the input listed for 8K Enhanced and below as needed, and I have made sure that nothing is listed for video input so the AVR isn't accidently interrupting the handshake with an unnecessary process (please correct me if I'm wrong). This situation has truly stumped me. Please help me out if you can 🙏🙏🙏

My last setup was a Logitech surround system, and only had optical cable and three wires leading out of it. With this? I'm having a tougher time with it. As the title would suggest I'm trying to ditch the second monitor that keeps appearing as a display option and keep the sound. I did try an optical cable, but that didn't work, and I even went to the settings to enable it for the PC.
