Has anyone ever turned this model on and had the volume just not give any sound. Have checked remotes, restarted both satellite and tv , etc.??

Yes ours does that sometimes but if we turn it off then on again its fine. I don't know why it does it though

Very likely depends on which connection (VGA, HDMI, CoAx. The plug could be loose. I've had zero problems with mine, but doesn't mean it can't happen. Also could be the wire itself. Tty testing it on something else. MurryChristmas

Thank you for your response -- I am still trying to figure out why my remote wouldn't work. I sent the TV back to Amazon.com since we couldn't get the remote to work. Where did you have your Uverse receiver located? I had mine on a shelf directly under the TV -- don't know if that makes a difference or not? This is very mysterious as no one else seems to have had this problem.

Had this happen with mine, took apart the in line remote and removed the volume dial, obviously you cannot adjust the volume after that but if you have a media keyboard you can change that functionality via the keyboard.

ditto on the audio drop out. Turning the tv for just a second seems to fix it. It did the audio trick with both the rca cable and the hdmi cable.

Hi Jennifer, Have you had any luck yet with your receiver? The Amazon web page asked me to reply. If you've fixed your problem then ignore my ramblings. So a few questions first off. Did the receiver work before and then just stop? Did you add new components or change any of your settings? Check those first. :) Maybe try to connect your devices directly to the tv to see if they still work. Good luck

I think I may have a similar issue. I connected my TV, and I have no picture, no sound, or anything at all. The right light on the button right comes on and off when I hit the power button, but that's it. Can't get the menu or anything to work.

Just got the 820. Had the same issue, wanted to just listen to the tv when watching satellite. Simply connected a optical cable from sat box to the 820, hit SIGNAL SEL on receiver remote until 02 (optical 2 input, there are two). Now I can listen to the tv or turn on the receiver and get theater sound.

The volume should go to 20+ on the digital readout on the front of the bar. I rarely go above 17, because it is way too loud. At level 3 it should be nearly inaudible. I assume you have turned the TV speakers off. You could have a bad remote (it's a poor remote to begin with). I suggest changing the battery as soon as you get it. If not the remote, you probably have a defective unit.

Thats odd !!! if you are using your remote make sure you use fresh batteries don't mix half and full power batteries together. also make sure you tv is not on mute meaning it will turn the volume off. check your remote for the mute button if that the problem you should be ok, but be careful hitting that mute button by accident because it will show a speaker symbol with a slash going cross it on your screen meaning on volume and it will not turn off until you press that botton .

The sound is really poor. One thing I have noticed is that the sound from regular DirecTV channels is much louder than the sound from HDTV channels or the one from the DVD or Blue Ray player. I have everything connected with HDMI cables. I tried also with optical cable with the same results. The volume difference appears also when I listen thru the Home theater. Does anyone know if this is normal?

Exact same thing happened to me. I am in the process of shipping it out for repair. The unit is of terrible construction and the electronics flaked. I actually got a sub -woofer and wireless surround speakers for my TV which are 10 times better.

Hi i just bought this tv and loved it until I turned down the volume and had the same problem. I am returning it unfortunately but for the price it is a steal :-)

No,not any problems except every once and a while there is no sound from my tv, I press the on off button on the box and sound comes on instantly, I use the box on two tvs,a new Panasonic and an older Sylvania tv. Both work fine.IC/11/2013

Mine is not comming from the sub. I've disconnected the sub and all the speakers 1 at a time and still have it. I did go into the Direct TV set-up and changed some audio settings and it is now at a lower voluume, but is still there. I thought maybe it was the Direct TV Receiver, but I disconnected it & still get have the hum running the receiver on fm stations.Thanks for the inputP.S. I have the Onkyo TX-SR705, not the 805.

Mine works great. You'll need to connect to your TV 2 ways. 1. RCA cables to sync with Streaming Video/Audio 2. Optical Cable for normal Cable or Satellite TV sound You can switch back and fourth accordingly with the top buttons "Optical" & "Aux" All of the other settings are normal Remote Control settings Hope that helps
