Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Technical Questions Onkyo Receiver Settings

That's good to hear. One person I thought would not make the wrong connection would have been the Rat . Me thinks the Rat needs to read the manual at least one more time before making the final connections, just kidding ya Bernard, just kidding.

I swear I'l never ever use a flash light again. From now on I'll drag the rack out and a big thanks ratpack, well at least I'm not publicly humiliated alone

I just had this "old gut feeling" that something wasn't quite right!!

And, it wasn't!

LOL!!!!

Hey at least you're up and running now

Roger that!!!!

Rat, there isn't one person here who hasn't made a similar goof. I make them often enough, that when I have a problem, the first possibility I consider is pilot error. More often than not, I'm right. What's more, when I finally discover that the problem, rather than something more serious, is indeed pilot error, the overwhelming sense of relief I experience far exceeds any embarrassment I might feel. I'm so THRILLED that the solution was so simple. I hope you feel the same!

Jack's right!

When we moved into this house, the TV and speakers receeded from our view and earshot range, dang inverse square law; so all at once we needed a new TV, new receiver, new speakers, and, since the distances became so great, a jukebox DVD player so we didn't have to drag our ageing carcasses the extra distances!

(.....ok; only two more feet, but it LOOKED further)

Soooo....

To eliminate any unforseen problems, I downloaded all the manuals weeks in advance, set up a time oriented flow chart, put a copy of each "back panel" on a clipboard with color coded wires plainly marked, opened every curtain and added extra stategically located light sources, held a flight readiness review, got a good nights sleep and a great breakfast, and....

....and still screwed it up

I'd hate to think of the number of items kick, slapped, cursed, thrown and other forms of abuse due to a simple operator error ... I know I've administered my share only to find later (usually while in the repair shop) it was simply because I didn't 'RTFM'.

Glad you're taken care of Bernard!

I tell you folks, the reason that I posted the problem on this board is that the people here are probably one of the best ANYWHERE in terms of REALLY being technically oriented and helpful.

I was hoping that someone had had a similar problem and obtained a fix. I was correct on that note.
