To reset the Onkyo TX-SR604 receiver to its factory defaults, turn it on and, while holding down the [VIDEO 1] button, press the [STANDBY/ON] button. "Clear" will appear on the display, and the receiver will enter Standby mode. This will delete all radio presets and custom settings.

The Onkyo TX-SR604 supports HDMI 1.1 but does not have full HDMI pass-through for advanced formats like 3D. To enable HDMI pass-through for basic video and audio, follow these steps:
1. Press the ON/STANDBY button to turn on the receiver. 2. Press the SETUP button on the remote. 3. Navigate using the Up/Down buttons to select 0. Video Input. 4. Press ENTER to access the Video Input menu. 5. Select the appropriate HDMI input (e.g., IN1 or IN2) for the device connected. 6. Choose No if not using an HDMI output for that input. 7. Confirm the settings and exit the menu.
Note: The TX-SR604 supports HDMI audio processing but does not pass through advanced formats like 3D. If using a 3D source, connect it directly to the TV and use an optical or coaxial cable for audio to the receiver.

Connecting the AV Receiver—Continued Speaker Connection Precautions Read the following before connecting your speakers: • North American models: Only connect speakers with an impedance of 6 ohms or higher. If you use speakers with a lower impedance, and use the ampli- fier at high volume levels for a long period of time, the built-in protection circuit may be activated.
Connecting the AV Receiver—Continued Connecting Antenna This section explains how to connect the supplied indoor FM antenna and AM loop antenna, and how to connect commercially available outdoor FM and AM antennas. The AV receiver won’t pick up any radio signals without any antenna connected, so you must connect the antenna to use the tuner.
Connecting the AV Receiver—Continued Connecting an Outdoor FM Antenna If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available out- door FM antenna instead. Notes: • Outdoor FM antennas work best outside, but usable results can sometimes be obtained when installed in an attic or loft.
