I just set this up with my brand new speaker system and it only partly works. Onkyo TX-SR806 7.1 Channel Home Theater Receiver (Silver) After setting up the unit and listening to my iPod for about an hour, I switch over to the tuner/receiver. Then I tried to change the listening mode by pressing the "Music" button on the remote, but landing upon the "Orchestra" setting the most HORRIBLE noise I have ever heard was emitted by the speakers. Pressing the "Music" button again led to an even louder more horrible noise and then the Amp shut off. Upon turning it on again, it was in the "Mono" sound setting, so I pressed the "Music" button and when the 'pure music' setting started but I was curious and surfed the options and again on "orchestra" the Horrible noise started and pressing "Music" again made a louder noise and the Amp shut off.
The issue is that, the "Music" button is a one-way menu and to surf through to a specific setting it requires circling through the entire menu. Plus, everytime the power is turned-off the receiver turns-on in the 'Mono' setting so if you, say want to listen to the radio in stereo, you have to press the "Music" button, but if you miss the stereo setting and want to return to it, the system has to be turned-off, or you run the risk of 1. losing your hearing and/or 2. blowing you VERY EXPENSIVE speakers.
I am not happy with this in anyway and do fear that the noise that was produced by the amp DID damage my speakers.
I have contact Onkyo and will update this review with details about working with the company of this issue. This was Serial number 0824DD3881022319
