r/Onkyo

I swapped out of my old and beloved Marantz SR5012 for my home theater to this newer TX-RZ30 because of specifically 2 reasons: eARC and Dirac Live.

Now eARC is so finicky i want to throw this AVR at the wall!

My RZ30 is paired with my Sony Bravia 8 II QD-OLED and I can get eARC to work but then it'll stop working randomly sometimes within the same sitting session if say I walk away from watching YT for a bit and come back, now the next vid won't have sound. It'll come back on if i fidddle with the Sony Audio settings again to turn off arc and then back on 50% of the time. Sometimes when I turn on the TV the next day it's broken again and I have no sound. It's more problematic than a 2 year old child!

I've gone through the guides , I've used 2 different sets of high end cables. It will work, but it never stays working for long.

What gives Onkyo!? I loved your products in the past.

Any help appreciated!

I've had this receiver for about 6 ot 7 years and successfully ran AccuEQ several times. Recently I changed out the Main and Center speakers and when I run AccuEQ it goes through the process normally, but then fails with the ambient noise message.

I turned off the HVAC and refrigerator, removed a mantle clock that makes a tick-tock sound,and turned off lights on the off chance they could produce a hum. I also borrowed a microphone from a friend that has the same model receiver. Nothing makes a difference. Has anyone encountered this problem? Any suggestions are welcome.

EDIT: It absolutely was a PS5 setting. The video transfer rate had to be set to -1. All is working great now on both Onkyo outputs.

So I have a brand new RZ-30 that I just hooked up. Connected my PC, Series X, and PS5 Pro to it. The Onkyo has all three inputs set to 8K Enhanced.

When I use the Onkyos "Main" video output to my tv, 4k 120hz 7 VRR work perfectly fine for my PC and Series X. The PS5 however just goes to the TV's "No Signal" screen unless I change the Onkyo settings to 4K Standard or 4K Enhanced. Problem with that is, doing do disables both VRR and 4K 120hz from working on the PS5.

This is what is confusing me. If I switch to using the Onkyos "SUB" video output, the PS5 functions as intended when set to 8K Enhanced. If I go back to the "Main" output, it stops showing video for the PS5 again even though I can still hear the audio.

Does anyone know what is causing this? Do I have a bum port on my Onkyo or....? All of the same exact cables and settings were used for both video outs. I did also try swapping cables around and no go. Don't know why the PC and Series X both work 100% with VRR and 4K 120hz in the Main port, but just the PS5 doesn't. Like I said. Same cables. Same settings across the board. PS5 works great with one output but not the other. PC and Series X work great on both outputs.
