Onkyo tx sr 607 -New DSP chip installed

[srt1]

Hi i recently got Onkyo rx sr607, the problem was it have no sound even in any mode, then i checked the DSP chip, i found that it getting very hot, so i suspect there some internal short inside, I ordered new chip same part number and i replaced yesterday, But sill have no sound , i checked the voltage rail it is in limit as per schematic 1.2 volt and 3.3 volt. but when i am checking the DSP version on Display its showing D: ??/ ????????? like that .. i will appreciate anyone help on this

Re: Onkyo tx sr 607 -New DSP chip installed

I wonder if the DSP chip might have some internal EEPRROM / flash memory, where it has (or should have) some ID and/or configuration data programmed...

DSP Chip itself have internal ROM? .. i saw a NAND flash ic near by it

Re: Onkyo tx sr 607 -New DSP chip installed

I can't be sure, but i wouldn't be surprised. Either way, i'm pretty sure (detailed) datasheets can't be found for those custom(?) chips.

That being said, if it has a flash chip nearby, that could be part of the problem too.

what will be the cause for it

Re: Onkyo tx sr 607 -New DSP chip installed

Hi ,,, i sort out the problem now .. the problem wass improper soldering ,, one pin of DSP chip ws not solderd properly ,,i soldered it again now its ok:musics

i reach a conclusion now ,, there is no flash rom inside the DSP chip itself

Thanks for the update. I may have the same soldering issue than, with my TX-NR609. Most likely, I haven't done a good soldering job. It was my first DSP IC soldering job.

i think your DSP is BGA right?.. in TX SR607 not BGA, ok do soldering and and let me know the result,

Re: Onkyo tx sr 607 -New DSP chip installed

SRT1, are there any other BGA chips on your board?

To me, seeing that it works after a few hours of idle time makes me think that there is a thermal issue, like a bad solder connection which expands and makes connection after the PC board warms up.

no other bga related to sound processing . my problem was bad soldering of dts chip ..

Re: Onkyo tx sr 607 -New DSP chip installed

were you able to fix the dts chip?

How do you check your firmware version? I can't find that info. Thanks

never mind, I kept holding the display button...

IIRC, these without a proper network connection ... you played a special CDROM into them to load a new firmware.

My Onkyo TX-SR607 was $400 new back in 2009. HDMI but about a year before networking/wifi was a thing. Worked fine in Home-Theater 24/7/365 (we never used the TV's speakers). I like concerts loud also (DD-5.1 /DTS ones are best). The WRAT-Amp power-thing seemed good. Several years-in ... Audyssey was so accurate, helped me discover why my JBL Center-Channel was weak (it apparently had recently blown the tweeter). Replaced that little driver (from an old matching-series cat-attacked JBL-Tower) and Audyssey could again calibrate (very impressive).

The 607 ran fine until 2015 when the On-Screen-Programming stopped working. I already had my new full set of Polk-Audios 6.1 matched separates all installed and calibrated up, so just ignored it. Had to use the LED display to program a few misc things during the years, but do-able. In all, ran fine for 14 years until the Front-Right channel blew.

I think the secret to 14 years of life is the AV-cooler I always had on it. It normally ran hot, but with a little-cooler, it was just warm.

So, I replaced it with the Denon-x4800h. Plenty of power (even for my full-sized Polks). I don't think I've ever ran it at 100% because the walls and windows start vibrating and you can hear the inside 6.1 speakers in the street. Very nice and also has the cool (any source) Zone-2 for the deck's outdoor speakers. Also has an iPhone App for control.
