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 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.
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.
thank you i was going crazy all i did was hook up new speakers and it died then i bought a cheap sub from a thrift store and nothing then i read your answer once again thank you

I had the same problem which was solved as follows: there are two subwoofer outputs on the back of the TX-SR805 receiver; when looking at the back of the receiver, try the one on the right (both are labelled subwoofer). Audessy auto speaker setup then recognized the subwoofer.
The receiver is on but no sound
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.

Brand new onkyo 805, Klipsch sub 12. No sound out of the sub whatsoever. Audessy wont detect it at all. Tried everything. Help!
Having the same problem. Any ideas on what to do?
My subwoofer that I wa using for a Onkyo HT system is not working/ putting out any sound from my new Onkyo TX-SR805
same thing my subwoofer doesn't work with my onkyo 805 . it works with my yamaha
same problem with new 875, this is actually my second 875 the first was sent back with the same problem.
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.
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.
It was working fine and then something got switched differently, I think. Blue light comes on but no sound or pink sound in the speaker level set up menu. The Klipsch sub was working great. Originally I had the sub rca jack plugged into the wrong sub connection at the back of the TX-SR705. The purple pre out for sub fixed that. This is a different problem and I feel there is a switch or setting that got changed inadvertently. Talked to HH Greg and will take both there tomorrow. If something useful I can report back, I will.
I have the same problem. There is nothing coming out of the sub out jack. I have double checked the back panel to make sure I am using the correct subwoofer jack. I have swapped subwoofers and cables. It does not seem to send any info out of the multichanel pre outs. Sound does come out of the tape out jacks. Disappointing!
