I also got mine yesterday

anyone try this to check 875 temp:

"PLEASE READ FIRST:
Please note, all of the commands below are applied by using the buttons on the front panel of your receiver and NOT on your remote. In addition, the "secret" menu screens will only appear on the front display panel of your receiver, they will NOT show up on your TV.

How do I see the Temperature readout on this receiver?
1) Turn on Receiver
2) HOLD down the "Display" button and press "Standby" button once.
3) Release the "Display" button.
4) Now press the "Tone" button once
5) The temperature in Celsius and Fahrenheit will be displayed. These temperatures are being displayed in real time so you can leave this info on display for as long as you want to monitor the receivers temp. "

onkyo hidden menu:

Hold down Aux1 then hit power button. You can tweak the video settings, contrast, sharpness, hue, etc.

moral of story:
don't use plastic rubber on ur joystick or else

just want to ask if any 805/875 owner have any hdmi connection issue with a htpc?

my htpc is connected to 805 via dvi to hdmi converter and then out to pj. i can see the osd from the pj but not the video so the problem seems to be between the htpc and 805. any ideas?

anyone know how accurate is audyssey calibration compared to manual setup with spl meter? wondering if worthwhile to get spl meter or not.

there are several good calibrations tips in this thread, just search for it.

For me, adjust the sub volume level until audyssey calibrates the sub trim to be about -5dB. Then run audyssey correctly using the recommended 8 postions for the mic.

After that, adjust the sound levels for each speaker using the onkyo test tones using your SPL meter to your preferred level e.g. +75dB - LCR, +72db - surrounds, +66db - sub.

didn't know it has an internal fan. you must be running it very hot.

btw, where's the fan located? did you know that you can check the temp?

if can, should just install aircon in room. placing a fan on top of your avr will generate a lot more dust inside.
