Onkyo 805

[L.J.]

Onkyo have been on the avforums in the uk and stated that there is going to be a firmware update to fix the poping noise and that it seems to only happen with the PS3

That's good to hear. Although some considered it a minor issue, and Onkyo stated that it was "normal", I just didn't like it. A couple of times I left the volume turned up and had some really loud pops. Not sure if it could damage my speakers or not.

Thanks for the info.

Just to let everyone know, I was looking for a 705 at c.c. and they didn't have any in stock. They had an 805 floor model in their home theatre display room. They said it had been set up for 2 months. I asked them if they would sell it and they said they would take $120 off the $699 price. I haggled a little and got it for $475. The 805 is more than I need but I couldn't pass on the deal.

Great deal! I paid $600 for mine NITB. About a week ago CC was offering an additional 10% off for the 4th of July weekend. As much as I hate their in-store presentation and selection, you can usually come away from CC with a bargain.

That's outright theft. Ouch, I'm suddenly VERY jealous. LOL good job to both of you.

hi,

i recently bought this unit (onkyo tx-sr805). and i'm totally new to this. i only have two floor standing speakers (FRONT L AND R).

i'm using the BI-AMP...

my question is: in the speaker set up menu. do i turn off Subwoofer, SUR BACK LEFT AND RIGHT?

in the manual, when connecting BI-AMP, it says that: FRONT LEFT and SUR BACK LEFT to FRONT LEFT Speaker and FRONT RIGHT and SUR BACK RIGHT to FRONT RIGHT speaker. so, do i turn off SUR BACK LEFT AND RIGHT in the setup menu? or leave it on?

Thank you.

Go into setup menu, choose speaker settings and set it to "bi-amp".

• Once you’ve completed the bi-amping connections
shown below and turned on the AV receiver, you must
set the Speaker Type setting to Bi-Amp to enable biamping
(see page 45).
