Hi @MusicFan0314! Thanks for posting to community.

Please use the following steps to activate your in-home device:

• Launch the Pandora application.
• Select New User.
• An activation page will appear with a code - leave this code up on the device screen as you continue.

From the web, visit www.pandora.com/[brand of device] and enter the activation code there (e.g. www.pandora.com/pioneer).

Or, from a mobile device, open the Pandora app and go to Settings, then tap Device Activation and enter the code.

Let me know if you continue to have trouble.

What way do I need to go to get Activation code from my Onyko Receiver TX-8140 to use on my Pandora account

Hi @VikorS411! Welcome to community.

You can use the steps from the above post to activate Pandora on your Onkyo. If you use a web browser to activate, be sure to visit www.pandora.com/onkyo.

Let me know if you continue to have trouble.

I’ve had a Pandora account but, not on my Sony tv. I open the app and Pandora doesn’t recognize my account. How do I link my account to the tv?
