Onkyo 805 receiver no sound - any clues?


I was going to fire up the surround sound on my receiver but when I started to adjust the volume I got nothing. I tested other sources (CD, headphones)...nothing. Its like all the amps are shut down. Any clues out there on what the problem could be?

Also if I have to get another avr any recommendations? It is used for TV and movies mostly in a 5.1 configuration. I have a dedicated two channel set up. Thanks.

"The Denon is also a fine model, just be aware that ANY receiver you get these days will not have the amp section equal to the old 805."

Well not really true. The new Cambridge Audio 751R and NAD T787 both have rock solid powerful amp sections. Though they both come in at close to triple the price of the Onkyo 818. But it is very true that the older Onkyo TX-SR805 was way overbuilt for it's price point and the amp section was crazy powerful.
