Xbox One Kinect control for Onkyo PR-SC885

Anyone one run into issues setting up a AVR or Pre-amp to be controlled by the Xbox One Kinect?

I just got a kinect this weekend.

It recognizes my samsung tv, but my older Onkyo -SC885 pre-amp it for some reason cannot control.

It lets me search for the unit by model number, but does not allow me to test it.

I tried searching for the remote control with no luck as well. The model number on the remote shows RC-690M.

Any trouble shooting guides?

Would love to be able to have the Xbox Kinect turn everything on and off.

Thank in Advance

XBOX ONE not controlling DirecTV Box HR44-700

I just switch to DirecTV and got the new HR44-700 box. I cannot get the Xbox One to issue commands to the receiver.

My setup is this.

OPTOMA HD20 PROJECTOR

ONKYO RECEIVER TX-NR636

XBOX ONE

KINECT

DIRECTV BOX HR44-700 (this is the newest GENIE I believe)

HARMONY 650 REMOTE

IR REPEATER http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HLCWHPQ?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00

DIRECTV BOX is in a closet with the XBOX and ONKYO RECEIVER while the KINECT and ir repeater eye is outside. The ir repeater eye takes the signal from outside the closet and plugs into the IR REPEATER. My IR REPEATER can take multiple inputs from various
receivers so I also plugged a cable from the ir transmitter port on the XBOX and plugged it into the IR REPEATER as well. I have a HARMONY REMOTE that I have set up for the XBOX, the DIRECTV BOX, and the ONKYO RECEIVER. The HARMONY REMOTE controls all the
components just fine through the IR REPEATER. The XBOX also controls everything, except the DIRECTV BOX.

The signals coming from the ir transmitter port on the XBOX and into the IR REPEATER work just fine and will control the ONKYO RECIEVER. I have covered the eye outside the closet and it still controls the ONKYO RECEIVER so I know that works without the
KINECT.

I have seen other posts that show to make sure the DIRECTV BOX has to be set to IR mode, but the new box will work with both IR and RF at the same time. In fact the IR/RF SETUP option is greyed out. Since I can control it with the harmony remote, I assume
that IR works.

I have tried all sorts of remote codes and still nothing. Has anyone got the new HR44-700 DIRECTV BOX to work with the XBOX ONE yet? Thanks in advance for anyone's help.

 

Onkyo receiver not working with Xbox One

My Onkyo TX-NR626 doesn't turn off/on or volume control from xbox one but the model is recognized in setup. Anyone else having this issue? Any solutions/suggestions?

 

Hey Waarna!

While we can't guarantee power off features are compatible with every TV or receiver, I do suggest giving the remote code
1805 a shot. You can enter that in 'Device control' settings under the 'TV & Oneguide' settings group!

Once you're on the 'Device control' screen, select 'Audio receiver' and then 'Enter audio receiver remote code'.

Give that a shot and let me know how it goes!
