Onkyo SR 705 Vs 805? - Blu-ray Forum

Blu Haze · 04-10-2008, 10:37 PM

On Cnet the only difference they list is the Zones being more on the 805 is this the only thing that is true? Or are they completly different and is the 805 all that better?

i never had a yamaha but my reasons for not going with that model is

no true hd and dts ma decoding
only 6 channel input not 7
only 2 hdmi inputs
didnt see any digital output
and i MUST have a phono input

Blu Haze · 04-10-2008, 11:01 PM

from your link and description:
Surround sound decoders include Dolby Digital, Digital EX, Pro Logic IIx; DTS, DTS-ES, DTS-ES Discrete and Matrix 6.1, Neo:6 and 96/24

are you sure he wasnt talking about pcm support?

the specs also said 6.1 analog input. yes it ouputs 7.1

Blu Haze · 04-10-2008, 11:05 PM

Could you see those fitting on the sides of the unit my tvs in?

IDK what do you mean i have a PS3 and idk if he was talking about that but thats what he said. What do youmean by the input of 6.1 and outpout of 7.1?

katharsis · 04-10-2008, 11:07 PM

Where would I find some good (and reasonable priced) speakers to go with either the 705 or 805 ?
Thinking about upgrading, still got an old 5.1 (like 6 years old now) without HDMI and such...

WHat do you mean. Does the input affect the output? It would have 7 speakers and woofer still connected and would be 7.1 ?
