Audyssey set up problem?

Yesterday my new Onkyo 3008 receiver came in the mail. I was excited to put it together as soon as it came. After unhooking all the wires on my previous Onkyo 807 receiver I ran the Audyssey speaker set up. All my speakers were detected but instead or running the system a few more times and then giving the option to save it, it came back to the first page saying speaker error. The only option it gives you is either cancel or retry. I tried it again a few times and still the same problem.

I was on the phone yesterday with Onkyo technical support for over 4 hours trying to get it to run Audyssey all the way through. The first time I ran it the receiver shut off. I am not sure if I should just send the receiver back and get a new one or keep trying to rewire my speakers.

I hate to send the receiver back and have nothing wrong with it. However I have had 2 Onkyos before this one and never had any problems when I ran the Audyssey speaker calibration.

Anyone else have this problem before? Do you think the receiver is at fault or loose speaker wire? I never had this much of a problem when I was running the Audyssey for my Onkyo 807.

    If the receiver shut off at one point, it sounds more like a short to me. Do all of your speakers play sound when hooked to the receiver?

    When I do the first part of the Audyssey speaker set up it detects all my speakers. I get sound from every one but then it won't go any further. I am going to try one more time on Tuesday. Vann's already told me I can get a full exchange if I send it back. I just want to make sure its not something I did wrong.

    Yeah I sent it back yesterday. I really wanted to keep the receiver but if I can't calibrate my speakers and run Audyssey all the way then its not worth keeping. Onkyo technical support said it was probably a bad Audyssey mic and that's why it wouldn't complete the auto process all the way through.
