Take EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF TIME tweaking individual speaker settings ("distances from listening point" and "output volume level" are really important). Since you don't have the ability to use the Audyssey easy setup process (no mic included in your box) it is detrimental that you do this methodically and with the utmost critical ear. Even after my 805 went through the Audyssey setup I still spent 3 hours fine tuning the calibration of my speakers.

Call Onkyo and see what they can do for you. Otherwise, be maticulous.

Great. I'm glad you figured it out. I was going to say make sure you have it plugged into the purple plug where it says subwoofer to make things easier but it looks like you have it all figured out. If Onkyo can't help you out with the mic, maybe Ebay can. I had good luck when I ran Audessey on my 805. It was all on target and surprisingly accurate. It also fit most of my tastes, which is a first for me. I just might turn up the sub a bit when I get a chance. I hope you enjoy your 805/ Polk combo too!
