The 12 V trigger in 708 is only for zone 2

s to turn on/off the Beolabs, 6 HDMI 1.4 inputs to connect my Samsung Bluray player and whatever there might be to come in the future, it can stream internet radio and has Airplay. Oh, and it has 2 HDMI outputs, so I can add a projector if I ever decide to get one.Sounds great to me.
So what made you choose the Onkyo over the AV7005? The AV7005 looks like the perfect unit for the active Beolabs. It is like a BS3, just less expensive ($1500) and much more uptodate.
The Onkyo can do all that including internet/pandora. I don't care about Airplay I have a sonos system. The Onkyo has 2 HDMI outputs so the same there too. The Onkyo is $1150, has 9.2 surround vs. 7.2. Cheaper and more features that I care about.

Zone 2 can be programmed to turn on everytime with the receiver I think.

Yes right, just checked, even if nothing is connected to Zone 2, it turns on, in the manual its says trigger 12 V only for zone 2.

The Onkyo setup I just did, I believe used the zone 2 line out for recording purposes... Don't quite remember, something like that though.

I use zone 2 line out to my computer line in, connected my BG 5000 to Phono in on the Onkyo and grab my vinyl to MP3

I would actually consider selling my BeoSystem 3 if we get a few more features on this non-b&o setup.
- I want control of peripherals (STB), does these receivers come with IR blasters or how do they control blu-ray players, dvb-c tuners, playstation 3, etc??
- I want only one remote - and preferably an se*y iphone app to control IT ALL
- And what do I do with my BeoLink Active and BL8000 in my office?
- And my BeoCenter 2
Hmmm ...

The Onkyo I purchased has a remote that can learn commands from any other remote. In fact, I taught it commands from my Beolink 5000 to control my LC1 light controller. It doesn't include IR blasters but I purchased a Logitech one for $40 and works great. Comes with an IR receiver, a large IR blaster, and 2 small additional IR blasters. Playstation 3 uses bluetooth for remote commands so you would need some way to convert IR commands to bluetooth. I think there is a way to do this...
You can get iphone/ipod touch based universal remote apps...or Logitech Harmony.
Get a Sonos system for your beolink active....
Get rid of the Beocenter 2 while you can still get money for it. Looks great....technology in it is dying. You would of course have to find a way to spend all the money you would make selling your B&O kit...
I gave up my Onkyo A-SV810PRO for Bang & Olufsen!!! 😂😎🤒
