Onkyo 805 Problem!!!

[Petra_Kalbrain]

Well, here's a doozy! I hope that this doesn't play out the way I think that it will.

I just hooked up my new Onkyo 805 receiver, ran wire for all of the speakers, and found out that the unit won't output any sound through the speakers because the "phones are engaged". I've been trying to seek a solution on the internet, but to no avail. But, it gets better...

Here's the real kick in the face! I purchased the unit in Billings, Montana but live in Vancouver, British Columbia. In order to return the damn thing I'd have to drive at least 13 hours one way in order to exchange it. Any ideas out there on how I could possibly get away with exchanging this somewhere in Vancouver?
