Hoping to get one of these soon, and seen it pop up across several threads. Thought it would be good to start a proper thread for it, so owners can share tips etc.
First question I have, is whether anyone has tried using a Harmony remote with it? Tried adding to my Harmony devices, and couldn't find an exact match for the all in one or the receiver that is bundled?
Will update this post with any tips or guides etc that people offer.

Onkyo Product Description
With packaged home cinema, you want ease-of-use and maximum features for your investment. Onkyos HT-S5405 adds to the equation a level of A/V quality rarely seen at the entry level. In the age of Blu-ray, HDMI® is the king of connectors. Thats why Onkyo equipped the HT-S5405s receiver with four of the latest HDMI inputs to handle both 3D video and pristine audio from high-definition Dolby and DTS codecs. Versatile HDMI also opens the door to an Audio Return Channel from your HDTVs tuner to the receiver, plus on-screen display functionality for on-the-fly adjustment of settings. Meanwhile, a handy front-panel USB input lets you hook up your iPod/iPhone and send a pure digital signal to the receiver. Also on the front panel are analog A/V inputs for easy connection of a camcorder or game console. During set-up, Audyssey 2EQ® adjusts the soundstage to your listening space, to make the most of the 5.1-channel surround-sound speaker set. The package includes a powered subwoofer that delivers greater bass impact without taxing the receiver.

PS3 Settings
Quoted from 'Rom's thead here: http://www.avforums.com/forums/onkyo-products/696423-faq-setting-up-ps3-onkyo-amp.htmlOn the fat PS3:-
Select Sound Settings
Select HDMI
Select AUTO
Check that all the DD, DTS and a number of PCM (all the way up to 7.1) are ticked.
Save the settings
Go to the BD/DVD settings
Select audio output format as PCM and save the settings.
On the slim PS3:-
Select Sound Settings
Select HDMI
Select AUTO
Check that all the DD, DTS and a number of PCM (all the way up to 7.1) are ticked.
Save the settings
Go to the BD/DVD settings
Select audio output format as bitstream and save the settings.
On the Onkyo:
Press Setup
Select Input/Output Assign -> HDMI Input
Go to the line for the source that you want the PS3 to appear on and set it to the HDMI socket that you plugged the PS3's HDMI cable into (IN1 or IN2).
Press return
Select Digital Input
Check that the input you assigned your HDMI to (above) states 'HDMI'
Press setup
All done!
Sky Sound
The sky hd box does not output DD5.1 over HDMI. To get DD5.1 you will need to connect either a optical or coaxial cable to the S5405, there are two menu settings to change to get the DD sound. One is on the "Digital Audio" setting, change to optical 1 if the optical cable is plugged into that. Then you need to go into "Source Setup" and change the "Audio Selector" to "Optical" this will produce a DD logo on the display of the S5405 when DD sound is been transmitted.
