Or the speaker wire partially yanked out of the speaker or at the

Conjecture before you have even checked the speaker wire is pointless.

The OP said: "I've changed the connection with different
speaker wire and the problem still persists." Perhaps you
missed it.

I not only checked the speaker wires and connections, I switched the
speakers to be sure they weren't the problem. Right now the left
surround is working and has been consistently since I ran the test
tone yesterday through the speakers and the right front was not
responding but the left surround was- this is goofy ****. So I turned
off the unit, turned it back on and all has been well so far. It's a
bit baffling since I don't know much about repairing a receiver with
this sort of problem, and beyond loose connections wouldn't know where
to begin. I'm hoping the unit self repaired and am going to enjoy it
while it lasts, but I don't want to disillusion myself. I've had
receivers that lasted for 10 years and more so am a little
disappointed that the Onkyo is acting up after 5. I own two amps
already, so might look into a 5.1 channel dolby digital/dts pre amp
and an am/fm tuner for a replacement after this thing dies completely.
