I recently purchased an Onkyo TX-SR805 receiver and can not get any sound from my subwoofer. Tried Audessy auto speaker set up and sub was not detected. Tried all possible connections and sub does not deliver sound. Blue light is on however. Sub worked perfectly fine a few days ago with Pioneer receiver. Any suggestions on settings, work arounds, solution, etc?
I have the same problem whenever I use my multi-channel hookup. I've tried every possible menu and submenu, but get no sound. Called onkyo twice and spent 2 hours with tech support to no avail. The person in the earlier blog who mentioned that onkyo told him/her there was another place to connect the subwoofer failed to tell the rest of us where to. I'm truly frustrated.
Same problem with the Onkyo 805 although I can get the Sub to work with SOME Dish Network 5.1 Surround Sound Channels but not all and not consistently. And the 805 does NOT allow 1080p passthru with the Receiver OFF, although the 875 does. HELP! I have tried every menu and submenu setting.
Looking at the back of the sr805, there is a second subwoofer output, this one is the preout. 4 rca jacks to the right of the non-preout subwooker. Moved it, and all works now.

Talked to tech support at Onkyo and there seems to be two (2) places you can hook your sub up to. I placed mine in the wrong slot. So please double check where you placed the sub connection.

I made the same mistake when i hooked my REL sub up to the back of the 805.
The problem is there are 2 connectors on the back of the amp that are labeled as sub out. Look very closely, you will see that there are 2 grouped RCA outs. The RCA out group you are looking for differentiated by groups of "little white dots" all the way to the far right on the back of the amp. Hope this helps.
