Hi:
My responces are in CAPS

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What happens if you simply play a source tuner/cd/dvd/etc. without doing the calibration? WORKS FINE FOR HOURS AT A TIME WITH NO ISSUES BUT THE BALANCE CONTROLS DO NOT WORK AND THE REAR SPEAKERS ARE TOO SOFT AND SUB IS SILENT.

How far into the setup does it get? Right front, center, etc. SET UP SENDS TEST SIGNAL TO RIGHT FRONT, CENTER, LEFT FRONT, THEN GOES VERY SOFT TEST TONE TO RIGHT REAR THEN QUITS TO STANDBY MODE.

Have you double checked your speaker wires at both the 805 and the speaker? If even one strand is touching, the 805 could protecting itself from a short circuit. NOT REALLY BUT ALL SPEAKERS EXCEPT SUB PLAY OK WHEN CONNECTED TO CABLE BOX AND CD PLAYER. REAR CHANNELS ARE SAME SPEAKER SET AS FRONTS BUT THEY PUT OUT VERY FAINT SOUND COMPARED TO FRONT AND CENTER.

SO YOU SUSPECT THE SPEAKER WIRES ARE NOT SECURELY FASTENED?

THANKS!
