lost lcd display on Onkyo TX-SR606 Receiver

I am not very technical, so I am at a loss here. I dont know if I hit a wrong button on the remote or if something is going wrong with my TX-SR606 receiver, but yesterday I lost the lighted display on the front of my receiver. I can still change volume, set the sleep timer, change the input, but cannot see what is happening. I tried to use the "display" button on the remote but that just showed the sound choice setting I think. The "dim" control didnt seem to do anything either. I cant find an answer in my instruction manual and don't know what else to try. Can this be fixed, or do I need to replace this entire receiver?

Thanks for any advice.

There's a mode on my NR515 which turns off the display for optimum audio performance. You enter and exit from it using the listening mode buttons on the remote. On my amp's remote, they're the red, green, blue and yellow buttons.

Hi gailc,

It sounds like something internal within you tx-sr606 and would need to be looked at by a service center. Authorized service centers can be found on our main page under support.

might be too late to join this discussion, but I have the same problem.
My warranty has expired and I'm trying to find a guide similar to Ed's about this.

Anyone had any luck?
