Can we get this one started as well since they've been shipping....mine has been performing OK with the VERY limited testing I've done. Only thing I've noticed so far is volume seems lower than expected based on dB setting.

Currently looking at upgrading to a 3d reciever for future purchase of 3d-tv. I'm also thinking of
TX-NR609
TX-NR808 ( a bit expensive)
TX-SR608
Is having only 2EQ really that bad? My current Onkyo is TX-SR705

Remote was suddenly working last night but now today its not responding again.
WTF would cause intermittent remote sensor malfunction?

My remote controls other components fine, TV, BD, etc. They (and me too) conclude its the sensor in the 708. Suggested I take it to a local service facility. Every so often the remote will work for a few minutes, but then reverts to working no further than a few inches from the sensor. I will pull the damn thing out and take it in for service, probably by the end of this week. GRRR

I don't have a service center near me so I have to have mine shipped, does anyone know if Onkyo covers shipping costs for this kind of thing?

I recently purchased a TX-NR708 and BIC PL-200. The firmware is current. The problem I am facing is that Audyssey setup can not find the PL-200. No test tones are emitted from the subwoofer. I tried different cables and I have double checked the connections. I have searched using google and had not been able to figure what maybe the problem.
Any ideas on what I need to do?

Can I use my subwoofer for both Zone 2 and Zone 1 listening (obviously not at the same time)? I suppose the cross-over point would have to be common for the bar and the NHT's.
Can I have a two Audyssey profiles, one that is for Zone 2 to EQ the NHT's response? Or maybe I could have an Audyssey and a manual profile and have AVR switch depending on listening mode or source used?
Can listening mode selection include Zone 1 vs. Zone 2 settings? I.e. when I select CD as source, can AVR be set to use Zone 2 naturally as well as 2.1 config?

Bryan, sorry but Zone2 is just the two speakers with no profiling.

I would guess that there are some rogue IR signals in your room. Try moving all remotes out of the room and look to see if your tv or other devices still show they are receiving ir signals. Some screens kick out rogue ir, try experimenting with positioning.

Just a quick update, the problem is not with rogue IR. I tried blocking the IR port and it's still happening and one day, the receiver started constantly switching listening mode and it became unusable. I took it to a shop for repair (thankfully, still under warranty)
Now I am wondering if this is because I plugged the receiver directly to the wall outlet instead of a power surge protector (this is recommended by some people)

I don't think plugging it directly into the wall was the cause. My 708 has the same problems and was plugged into a surge protector.
Still no update on mine from the service shop. I'm calling over there tomorrow to get an update.

Hi a4nkar, some suggestion to check over and test.
- set subwoofer volume at half, phase to zero, crossover highest setting and toggle switch to Bypass or Out.
- turn subwoofer on (not auto)
- subwoofer indicator light is green (not red)
- sub cable connected to "Subwoofer Pre-Out" and not "Subwoofer Multi Channel In"
- removing the sub cable from the "Subwoofer Pre-Out" and rub your finger over the tip (should hear static from the sub)
- test subwoofer by connecting a portable CD player, DVD player, MP3 or iPod/iTouch player to subwoofer Line In (should hear bass)
- reset receiver microprocessor (if sub is assume good) and retry

Oh, it's good to hear this is not a freak problem. Is Onkyo this unreliable?? I would've gotten Pioneer Elite if they have Pandora built-in
