Frank, if the volume is okay using the TV speakers with its internal amplifier, then the problem would indeed seem to be with the HK. Can't even guess what it might be or how much the repair would run, but if you want to instead replace it, the Onkyo 605 would be a fine choice. Probably the best deal right now would be at ShopOnkyo . If you register for "Club Onkyo" you get a $349 special price on their factory refurb plus a $10 credit for registering and free shipping, making it $339 delivered. If you'd go a bit higher(about $550), the 705, as was mentioned by Tom, has a more advanced version of Odyssey which also equalizes the sub. Right now Accessories4less , which is authorized to carry Onkyo refurbs, is out of stock, but you might check with them.

Sounds like you're experiencing some kind of feedback... where the audio output is being summed with an input and fed back into the receiver... Likely causes... do you use a VCR as a "passthrough" from DirectTV at all? Did this "just start happening" with no other changes made? Oh, wait... this is a "make frzoll buy new equipment intervention"...  Bren R.

Something funny is going on with my H/K avr 630 receiver.While watching TV the sound will get very loud to the point where the receiver will shut down.I'm with Directv and the volume thru the TV speakers is fine.Any ideas? Is it like the receiver volume is getting turned up by someone with the remote control, ie. the numbers on the volume display are increasing until the volume maxes out? If so I recall an issue with the HK receivers that had something to do with fluorescent lights where it was somehow affecting the remotes and turning up the volume. I don't know if it was ever fixed but there was a firmware update for the 430 and 630 receivers. Try searching the AVS forum or go to the HK site and look for the product support pages.

Damn you Lorenzo and your new avatar!
it was positioned at the bottom of my screen and I saw the bug creeping up from the bottom of the status bar. For a few seconds I though someone had installed a joke program I saw a while back that makes bugs appear all over your screen.

Well at least you didn't try to kill the bug.  Is it worse than Mark Johnson's old Dancing Elephant?

what speakers are you trying to drive? If you have the M80s, the Onkyo probably isn't the best choice.

Maybe mike has experienced this phenomenon.
Yes, with a 7300 and it about scared the crap out of me considering it was driving my M80's. The remote experienced some sor of demonic possession. I had to kill it by removing the the batteries and then reinstalling them. The demon left without coming back.
