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.

Tgrisham, thanks for the note. I have been in the troubleshooting mode for the last couple of days had have come to the conclusion that it may be a power supply or something similar.

Now the question is do I want to dump money into repairs or start fresh with a new receiver. I don't know how much a power supply would cost to fix but if it starts to get around $200 to $300 then I'm not sure that's the path I should take.
I went ahead and spent a few bucks to troubleshoot the problem with receiver. Turns out the audio / video board is bad. The repair was north of $300 so I am now going to buy a new AVR.

My current candiate is the Denon AVR-X2000 which I can get for $650 including a headphone bundle. I could probably sell the headphones for about $200. Any other AVR thoughts?
Well I ordred a Denon AVR-X2000. The good part is that at least it has a three year warranty and it will only be used for TV and movies. I have a dedicated two channel system for music.
