Just ordered a 5507. Wondering if I should have waited for the SC5508.

The dealbreaker is lack of bass management in the direct modes. I can not see how they think excluding anyone without full range fronts from the direct mode benefits. Not many have true fullrange fronts in a setup where the 5508 is a natural component.

The video processing is probably not that noisy anyway.

Also, skipping Audyssey for these modes? With the direct modes you Are more critical than ever, and your room will not magically stop influencing the sound.

I'm assuming that Audyssey is not applied to the 7.1 analog inputs, just digital?

Do you mean eq is not applied? Audyssey is the program that determines the EQ settings. (and the dynamic eq settings as well)

Also, you've some choices of what does get included when Direct or Pure Audio mode is chosen. Here's more info:
Direct
■Analog
Subwoofer
Off:
Analog audio signals (bass signals) are not output.
On:
Analog audio signals (bass signals) are output.
This setting determines whether or not analog audio signals
(bass signals) are output from front speakers when the Pure Audio or Direct listening mode is selected.

Hi Coby,
Thanks for the reference.
It seems to be saying that in either the Off or On setting bass is not being output from the Subwoofer.
What is your interpretation of what this means?
In which menu is this feature set?
Thanks.
Larry

To me that seems to indicate you do indeed have bass management in the direct modes.

The USA Onkyo websites states:
Auto Speaker Calibration w/ Mic.-Audyssey MultEQ XT32(MultEQ Pro Ready)
I am assuming this mean it is "installer Ready"? Nothing yet on the Audyssey website on any functionality for this unit.

Thx Larry - I'll wait then until its Audyssey features are confirmed before considering this unit further.

I checked last night; you do have sub output in stereo and direct mode. In the menu, you are given the choice of turning sub on or off for direct mode.
