I have a Onkyo sr608 that the front right speaker is fuzzy all of a sudden. I unplugged a different speaker that isn't buzzing and it was fuzzy once plugged into the right speaker port. So I know it's an issue involving that specific port. Has anyone else had this issue or know what I can do to fix it? I would assume it's a transistor or the port itself. Please help!
The amp on that channel is bad. Unless you are skilled in electronic repair and own test equipment, you will not fix it yourself.
At the price point of that receiver, it is highly questionable whether service make financial sense. It might be better just to cut your losses and take it to the recycling center.
The problem is you will have to pay for diagnostics, and then if that cost and repair are greater than a new unit, then you are further behind.
If you have some DIY skills, you could disconnect the right and left amps, and instal preouts and get an external power amp.
What speakers are you using, that receiver is only rated down to 6 ohms. A lot of speakers are actually four ohm even though specified to be 8 ohm. Pretty much all towers are 4 ohm whatever the manufacturer says. If there are two or more woofers be speaker, then you can pretty much go to the bank, that it is a four ohm speaker.
I see your speakers, are in fact rated four ohm, with a minimal impedance of 3.6 ohms. Those are not speakers to connect to a cheap receiver. You will have repeated failures. Get a receiver with pre outs or a pre/pro and use external amplification.
