 Awesome sound and very poor video upconversion Jan 04, 2009
A few have stated this already, but I wanted to reiterate some of the points...
Sound
This receiver generates incredible surround sound and enables you to hear sounds and effects that you may have missed before. Really well done and the reason the received gets three stars.
Video
BIG issues if you use any of the three video game systems.
If you are using a Wii and try to send its component video signal out to the receiver and have it continue to the TV via the HDMI connection (which it is supposed to be able to handle), then your picture will intermittently cut out (you will hear sound but see a blue screen). I was able to "fix" this issue by having the receiver send the video to the TV over a component connection. It works fine, but it means that you paid for capabilities that do not work (and you defeat one of the main benefits of using HDMI... one cable for everything). You now have two wires connected to your TV.
It is also possible that you will see the infamous blue dots (or "jaggies" as I call them) when using an Xbox 360 and it is sending a 1080p signal. You will see them on dark scenes or anywhere with large areas of black color. This issue seems to go away when I set the receiver video setting to "Through" essentially shutting off its ability to do any processing for ANY video signal coming into it (Xbox, Cable TV, etc). Again, I paid for advanced video capabilities that I have to completely turn off or bypass to have everything work properly.
And now we turn to the PS3 which I use as a Blu-ray and normal DVD player, primarily. No issues with Blu-Ray but I do have the receiver set to "Pure Audio" for this input (which means that it turns off all video and audio processing and just outputs the signals it receives from the PS3). I have had issues with playing normal DVDs on the PS3 (those blue dots again) if I had the video processing setting on "Auto" or "1080p." The dots go away if you set it to "1080i" or "Through" (atleast so far), but, again, you are turning off features that supposedly made it worth the price (which may actually explain why this receiver is available for the current levels of price).
Now for return experience... pray you noticed these issues before you got rid of the box. I didn't and asked Amazon for help and their customer service rep, Vignesh Muthiah, responded by saying that they would be happy to take it back if I went out and purchased the box and returned the receiver in that box. Really? Seriously? Exactly how is that possible? The rep did say that they would reimburse me for the cost of the box. Will keep you posted on progress.
Overall, great receiver for sound, amount of connections, on screen menus, etc but terrible for its video processing abilities. Most times you will wind up turning those "features" off. My first experience with Onkyo (I've done Sony or Harman Kardon in the past) and I am not impressed.

Excellent Receiver Jan 02, 2009
I am extremely pleased with my new Onkyo TX-SR806. The Audyssey MultiEQ setup and calibration system was easy to set up my 7.1 environment and worked flawlessly. I am using HDMI to connect Direct TV and Sony Blu-ray disc player. Having only one HDMI cord to the TV is an awesome improvement to clean up the wiring mess and makes set up much easier. I am replacing a 10yr old Yamaha unit, the improvement in technology and sound is significant. I really appreciate having the unit automatically recognize and switch the audio format. Sound quality, power, video upscaling, and oveall quality of the unit is excellent. I have not noticed any significant heat issues. Overall for the price the unit is an excellent value.

Should have been a 5 star, blue dots make this a bust for me Jan 02, 2009
This receiver produces great sound, I have watched all my favorite movies again and this receiver produces sounds I didn't even know existed. It must be said that my old receiver was a very average Sony, so some sound quality improvement was to be expected, but it did exceed my expectations. My HD Tivo and my old DVD player were hooked up with ease (HDMI) and when I ran the signal (HDMI) from the receiver to my Panasonic TH 50PZ850U TV the picture was awesome.
Everything would have been fine if I didn't purchase my Panasonic DMP-BD55K Blu-ray player (fantastic btw). This is when I discovered that the receiver likes to mess with some 1080P signals, even if you tell it not too (really annoying that pass through doesn't really work). As a previous review has stated there are a lot of people that are experiencing 'blue dot' issues when PS3 and XBox's are hooked up to this receiver. Basically the receiver will introduce artifacts (blue dots on screen in presumably random locations) on some 1080P signals, I don't pretend to understand why but a quick Google search will lead you to a number of forums that discuss possible causes and fixes. The only fix that I have found to work is to tell my Blu Ray player to only send out 1080i signals to the receiver if I see blue dots, which seems to happen on almost every DVD (not Blu ray)I own. Blu Ray disks seem to be unaffected, at least for me. But if I put a DVD in, the player will automatically up convert it to 1080P (which is a good thing) but the receiver is not able to cope without introducing these blue dots (bad thing). If I bypass the receiver and send HDMI straight from the Blu Ray player (still 1080P) to the TV the picture is great, but that is a work around for an issue this receiver should not have.
So if you are planning on only playing Blu Ray's or watching 1080i signals then you might be very happy with this receiver. If however you want an artifact free picture and you own an xbox, ps3 or expect to use your Blu Ray player to up convert DVD's to 1080P then you are probably going to want to look at alternatives like the Onkyo 876 or the Denon AVR-2809CI.

 Love it Dec 28, 2008
For the price you cant beat it. Replaced my onkyo 800 which is still in perfect condition(wanted hdmi)was the only reason for the change.easy to hook up awsome sound cant go wrong with the 806.
Onkyo 806 Sounds Great-Video upconvert problem Dec 27, 2008
I bought this receiver to replace a Pioneer Elite 26. I set it up in a stand with limited ventilation and found that it did run hot.
Component input from the Satellite box to HDMI 1080p became intermittent. I moved it to another shelf with 3" clearance above, and noticed the issue is better, but still present so I ordered a fan to place on top of the Onkyo to cool it.
The HDMI upscaling from 480i works well when it isn't cutting out, and the unit sounds great. I hope the fan cures the issue!
No video issues with DVD player input.

Consumer Reports Says Buy Your HDTV at Amazon!
Washington, D.C. (October 31, 2008) -- When it comes to price, Consumer Reports says shoppers are most likely to find the best deals online. And the publication called three ecommerce sites "standouts" in this year's Consumer Reports ratings of electronics stores: Amazon.com, Crutchfield.com and B&H (bhphotovideo.com)
The magazine's survey was based on more than 38,000 purchases of electronics, including flat-screen TVs, between January 2007 and June 2008. The report indicated that online stores consistently offered better prices. (The magazine's full report can be found in its December 2008 issue.)
"Buying online can be better," the magazine said in a press release. "The higher-rated electronics retailers in Consumer Reports annual reader survey are Web sites. Readers who bought online rated their overall satisfaction at 90 out of 100 -- higher than those who bought in a store. Additionally, many Web merchants offer free shipping, even on TVs, which could spare the hassle of struggling to fit a bulky carton in the car or paying a local store for delivery."
Consumer Reports said that while no single retailer scored excellent in all shopping categories, Amazon.com and Crutchfield.com came closest.
