Also having problems with audyssey...

"This is the second Onkyo 7 series receiver I have owned. I liked the 705 so much that when my neighbor wanted to buy it, I upgraded to the 706. However, here is where the honeymoon ended. After setting up my 7.1 system, I went to complete the audyssey auto seaker setup. The mic is not picking up the test tones.

"I use this as a pre amp in a medium sized dedicated home theater room which has been very well acoustically treated (this ROOM sounds great). I use separate amps for my power hungry Magnepans. If you are already used to setting up home theater equipment, then you will find it pretty routine. It coul …"  Read Full Review »

"I just wanted a decent mid-range receiver that does all the latest lossless audio formats and has 7.1 channels so it's ready to take advantage of BluRay as that format evolves. So my primary focus is on a system that plays audio for movies and video games as it's primary function. Currently I have t …"  Read Full Review »
