 Good receiver December 5, 2008
M. Johnson (USA)
I am not going to mention specs, you can see those on the Onkyo website.
This thing is full of power and clarity. This is why I bought it. Didn't really care about the up conversion and it has not been a problem. Everything looks crisp and clear.
Things I have noted:
7.1 is great, sound great and is implemented well. I have 9 speakers and a subwoofer connected to it. Two of the speakers go outside to an entertainment area. It puts great sound out there, but you lose the two rear channels of your 7.1 on the inside. This is really not noticeable inside the theater room. We do this to let the kids watch movies inside while the adults get together outside.
If you have a digital connection (DVD player) connected to the receiver via HDMI or Optical and you want to send that source to the 2 outside speakers, you are going to need to connect additional stereo jacks. The additional stereo channels can not send a digital signal. I really thought they (Onkyo) would do the hocus pocus for this in the receiver, but it is really not a big deal when you get down to it, aside from a additional trip to the store.
I have read the reviews about heat. It is a receiver that puts out a lot of power. Of course there is heat. Nothing overly unusual about it. To be cautious I purchased a small black fan with clothe propellers (about 6" wingspan) and blow air across the top of it. The fan is very quiet and the receiver has always been just above cool to the touch. I even turned the fan off and ran it for several hours and never really noticed a lot of heat build up. I turned the fan back on because I had it, so why not.
All-in-all I am very satisfied with this unit. I would buy another. I use to own a sony 5.1. I never realized how bad that thing was. I am glad I decided to take a stand against Sony's domination of the world. I might never have gotten my hands on this Onkyo.
 Onkyo is the best out there November 17, 2008

I was planning on getting panasonic or sony for my PS3 to fully benefit from blu-ray, but a friend at work told me about their onkyo, so I checked on amazon and was about to buy, but then it sold out, so I found this bad boy instead, and had to get it, 400 bucks off can't beat that! I was so excited when it arrived, I couldn't wait to set it up. HEAVY... but I can live with that. The sound is AMAZING. And HDMI pass-thru is great. I have my hd dvr and my ps3 hooked up to it and I couldn't be happier. It does run hot, and blows hot air right into my ps3, which causes loud fans to run. No problems yet after over 2 months, just need a cooling unit and I'm golden. A definite recommended buy!
 Died in one week. Terrible audio lag. Sound quality was excellent. November 12, 2008

Update: My 805 died on me after only one week of light apartment-volume use. As has happened to many other units, it started turning itself off immediately after being turned on. I had to return it, and will be replacing it with a Denon AVR-988. As great as the 805 sounded, I refuse to get another ticking time bomb. Amazon won't let me change my star rating, but I'd give it two stars now.
This receiver has an extremely noticeable delay in audio reproduction that has been well documented by the internet community. Onkyo seems to have no interest in fixing it. It makes the video "lead" audio, so that you hear everything too late, even with the receiver's audio delay settings at "0 ms." Putting the speaker distance at the maximum settings helps a bit, but if you use a CRT display that has no video delay, I can't recommend this receiver as it is nearly unwatchable.
Heat production is also very high. I had to buy separate fans to cool it.
Sound quality is fantastic, though. Rich, open, detailed. Made my DVD's come alive and CD's had improved sound staging.
But for this much money, can't we expect a receiver that outputs video and audio at the same time? And doesn't break? Is that too much to ask?
Beauty AND a beast! November 3, 2008

I bought this Onkyo receiver to replace an older Onkyo (the TX-DS787) receiver - mainly for the HDMI-connectivity and switching. I have to say - I am wowed by the ease, simplicity and efficiency of this receiver. As anyone who's bought independent components to set-up their HT/Home Audio system knows, wiring and configuration can be a serious project. Not so with this one. My HT system includes Definitive Tech speakers (the BP7004s - I love them), Polk Audio Center, Triad Sub, Samsung 52" LCDTV, Comcast cable DVR, Suny BluRay, and KEF sorrounds. So it's an eclectic system - and this receiver has the muscle, brain-power and looks to handle all this really great! Oh, and did I mention I have 2 additional music zones?
Buy it - you'll love it.
PS: I got the Silver finish - not the black - I like that look more.

Great product for the price. After shopping for several months, this unit is the one we have chosen and saved up for.
