My Onkyo NR-905 Receiver is making my speakers chirping.


Hi all,
I have own my Onkyo NR-905 receiver for over 5 years now and it is making my speakers chirping after it is on for a few hours.  Is it overheating?  Anybody else had this problem?  Feedback would be great.

Never heard of electronics suddenly creating a speaker  "chirping" sound phenomenon. ONKYO has a well-known and well-travelled lengthy legendary poor track record of HDMI board failures, but that is USUALLY a catastrophic failure in nature and easy diagnosis , and not a "chirping " in your speakers.

Q: Have you first considered and ruled out that your speakers are the culprits (sudden power surge fried them, caps gone, high listening volume and sudden amp headroom limits exceeded created a transient clipping that fried them , ???)

I would rule that out first before I journeyed down a slippery slope of receiver expensive diagnostic and repair services, the cost of which will likely greatly exceed the unit's FMV. In that case, probably not worth it to fix.
