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.

For only $50 more you could get an Onkyo 818 which has the TOTL Audyssey room correction, which has much more resolution and also integrates a subwoofer better than ever. Might be worth a look, people are really impressed with it.

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.

Fair enough, the ARCAMs, NADs, and Cambridge's are the exception to the rule of mass market receivers for under !000. Since the OP is looking to spend $650, he's got a budget that precludes the high end powerhouse brands.
