I have an old Onkyo TX-SV535. I am getting crosstalk on the AM channel. When I configure the system freestanding, I get both the station I am tuning and another AM station that is 1/2 mile away. When I hook the system up to run the speakers through my in-wall wiring, the crosstalk extends across all channels on the receiver.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
I found the owners manual for you for this older model. You can download it for free HERE
Look on page 5 and check to see if you have the AM frequency step switch, and if you do, is it set to the proper selection. Also you must use a loops type AM antenna on the AM band. Good Luck, and ifthis does not help, you may be having the beginnings of an AM front end problem and will require a visit to a repair shop. Let us know how you make out with this unit.
Thanks, Larry! I appreciate your prompt response. I suspect I am having the last problem you mentioned. The unit worked fine for many years, until recently. At first, I thought the problem was in the rewiring I did in my house when we moved some components around and some remodeling. Then, I heard that some dimmers could cause this problem. We added a number of them during the remodeling. So I tried the receiver on another circuit. No joy. Finally, I stumbled on the right combination of causes...I think!
It may be time for a new receiver. This one is about 10-15 years old.
Thanks again.
