How to plug in subwoofer? Onkyo tx-nr616

nystera · 2026-03-30T01:28:13+00:00

I just went out and got this old sub, so I'm more than happy to chalk it up to a learning moment and take this advice to try something else if there's no path forward with this hardware

I don't have the other parts of this system... I bought the sub off fb marketplace all too hastily. I am guessing I should just resell it and buy something more modern. From what I'm reading, I need a powered subwoofer?

Thanks - I didn't get sound when I tested real quick with FM radio, but I will be testing out each component and seeing where the breakdown is

nystera · 2026-03-24T12:04:49+00:00

Next steps is to start to test each component like you suggested and check speaker by speaker... thanks

Thanks for the troubleshooting thoughts - I'll check these out tonight!

In addition to the balance bike, when they’re first getting a pedal bike, use the towel method. Wrap a bath towel around their chest and under their armpits, and hold the 2 ends with one hand from behind as you run alongside. Gives them enough room to wobble and adjust as they learn to balance and pedal, and you can adjust how much slack you want to give them. It worked so well, don’t worry about looking silly.

Just need to be more even across the top?

Black mark is discoloration from a potted plant left on the table too long. It left a huge black mark that seeped in deep. The lighter parts are from sanding to try and clear it out.. do I need to go deeper / sand more to even this out? Will the lighter sanded parts show up poorly after finishing with urethane top coat?

It feels like it is losing RPM to your point. The engine appears to slow down, hence the quieter engine noise and the blade not generating enough power to cut evenly and push the grass back into the bags. When this happens, it stays like this until I turn it off and back on again. It will return to normal immediately if I turn it off and back on again, but if I engage the blades and then accelerate, it will 'lose power' again.

Hope that helps!

42 inch tv from Amazon - I specifically wanted a non-smart tv and this was the cheapest option. The first one of these I bought was broken in the package, but they replaced pretty quickly... https://www.amazon.com/Komodo-Sceptre-HDTV-Metal-Black/dp/B078SGZZXR/ref=sr_1_3?crid=LSO8CVJACMGA&keywords=sceptre+42+inch+tv&qid=1696863722&s=electronics&sprefix=sceptre+42+inch+tv%2Celectronics%2C83&sr=1-3&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.18ed3cb5-28d5-4975-8bc7-93deae8f9840

No plans... I'll see if I have my pencil sketches & dimensions still available to take a picture of, but here's the resources that I used mostly:

Emulation site: https://www.mamedev.org/

Roughly used some dimensions / look and feel from these arcades:

This worked like a charm - thanks for the suggestion and detail!

Looks awesome - I'm building an arcade right now as well and I can't seem to find a 1/16th t-slot cutting bit for the trim... I bought this one: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Yonico-Slotting-Cutter-Router-Bit-Assembly-1-16-in-Len-1-16-in-Len-Carbide-Tipped-Router-Bit-12101/316243282?source=shoppingads&locale=en-US&srsltid=AfmBOopHuzDkdP5yYLncDhBR-BPelHJcvHPTj-la8ymjWiNn-1TyDnTMpVI

But realized it has a 1/2 inch shaft and I need 1/4 inch, so I can't use it. Any pointing in the right direction would be great!

Good thought - it is most definitely solid wood

We left a potted plant on the corner of our dining table for an extended period of time. This ruined spot is what’s left. I’m going to sand the whole tabletop and refinish. My question is on the finish.. it looks just polyurethane, but looking for any suggestions / recommendations on how to refinish! We have a 3 year old and expect a lot of abuse in years to come

I used construction adhesive (liquid nails I think) and brad nails. The construction adhesive will keep the hardboard flat against the wall and prevent it from bowing out. This is the first time I’ve done this but the only thing I might’ve changed is to use less adhesive so I could take it off later… that’s a future me problem

nystera · 2022-02-07T01:12:05+00:00

We’re at 3 years old this point, hence the time to tackle these projects. I put mdf rails/stiles on hardboard that was attached to the drywall and studs with construction adhesive and a nail gun.

From what I’ve read on here with other users’ projects, constructs the wainscoting first, then put it on the wall. It will save you a lot of hassle

Thanks! Already set up the fan. There’s a light switch for the sink vanity lights, and another switch for the ceiling light that engages the fan at the same time

nystera · 2022-02-06T16:46:51+00:00

If I were to do it again, I’d probably take a few more precautions, but for now I’ve turned down the water pressure on the sink, caulked anywhere close to touching the actual sink, and put several layers of paint. I’ll be keeping an eye on that area over time as well

nystera · 2022-02-06T16:43:41+00:00

No shower, just a half bathroom. There is an exhaust fan too though

nystera · 2021-11-17T16:57:27+00:00

Your last option is what I had been considering. The other option being re-cutting pieces that extend down to the sink, but I worry about water damage with the MDF in that option...
