I listen to mine 95% time at around -33 and later at night closer to -40 .. seems everyone else is listening much louder! So for the fun of it, turned my ohm setting to 4ohms for the speakers and in the past 20mins the temperature has dropped by 11 degrees (temp went down from 58 to 47).

I've had my 805 for just over a year and it's worked fine until tonight. It turns off and the standby light blinks. If I let it set for 30 minutes or so it will turn back on but do the same thing after a short while. I tried to call Onkyo but after being on hold for awhile it goes to dead air. Any ideas? The closest service center is 163 miles away.

Just curious, but does the 805 hdmi pass 1080i and/or 1080p?

Got it set at 720p.
Actually before I went to work this morning I managed to get the 805 setup screen on my pj screen. That part of my problem was a poor connection (I think) between my DVI plug and my HDMI/DVI adapter.
I can now see the BD35 setup menu on my pj screen, but it is very distorted - horizontal lines badly mis-aligned.
Swapping the cable today, and going to try again tonight.

I think Californians are cursed. I posted last week that my front display went out at almost the 1 year mark (to the day). I called Onkyo and they said I can take it to a local service center vs shipping it to Onkyo. I'm going to have my wife take it in next week while I am out of town on buiness for the next 2 weeks. Unfortunately, I just looked at the Onkyo page and there are no local service centers up by you![]()

It all goes back to dumb Onkyo customer service. You'd think at least some of the key cities would have an authorized service center. I mean, everywhere you go they service Panasonic, Pioneer, etc etc products but not Onkyos. I talked to a local shop and they dropped Onkyo for failing to provide support and parts. C'mon now... Parts?? They said it took Onkyo weeks and in some cases months to provide simple replacement parts and this frustrates the heck out of these shops and implicitly their customers. I can see from what everyone's posting that this seems to be true all over the country with minor exceptions.![]()
What's their excuse?![]()

There's an easy way to fix this without taking your 805 to a repair center.
All you need is some basic soldering skill and a trip to your local Radio Shack store for a resistor. Onkyo uses a weak resistor on the board responsible for the display. You would of course have to open up your onkyo. So if you are concerned about voiding your warranty, don't do this.
Finding the failed resistor is not simple. If you guys are interested in doing this, I can open up my onkyo and show you the steps with pictures and illustrations.

I'm in the same boat. I generally have it running around -36 and closer to -40....seems everyone is way louder than I am. Of course, my wife wants to be able to talk to me during TV shows / movies.![]()

Calibrated to 0 reference, -40 comes damn close to the equivalent of hitting the mute button in my setup. Perhaps you have speakers in the efficiency range of the mid to upper 90's(dB) or so. Otherwise, how does one realize any real semblance of surround envelopment at that level?

Wow! At -40, sounds to me like the wife wants to be the focal point and not the movie itself. Calibrated to 0 reference, -40 comes damn close to the equivalent of hitting the mute button in my setup.
