Audyssey is a third-party room equalization technology. Specifically, the MultEQ version of it uses measurements taken at more than one location in the room.

You need firmware version 1.04 or higher to fix the Reon issue. Although the firmware update enables Reon adjustments, it can only be done thru the menu system on the pre/pro and not via the on-screen menu system (cumbersome when finetuning video...would like to use the remote).

I have to admit, I was also very impressed with the Audyssey in the Onkyo 885... just setup the mic and let the system do the work. If you don't like the results... run it again. A whole lot easier than a Radio Shack meter and tape measure. I too hope the Outlaw's opt to incorporate this technology in their new pre/pro.

While I would like to keep the "Outlaw" seperates (7700 and 990) together, the desire for HDMI inputs is overwhelming!

I am not sure I will be waiting much longer.
electronics change so fast... that developers can't really keep up. By the time all receivers and pre amps finally go HDMI, the next generation will already be out. And if history is any lesson.. most likely it will not be compatible with HDMI.. so in the next yr or two look for a whole next connector to start hitting the market.

DVI was pretty short lived and was all but obsolete when HDMI began showing up.. expect the same with the next generation of digital audio/video connectors.

No, Outlaw does not have any sort of booth or display at CES. I don't doubt that there will be an Outlaw or two scoping things out at CES, but there will be no official Outlaw presence. They focus on the HE Show in May. If I remember correctly, they feel that HE Show is geared more to the average consumer and less to the press and business side than CES is, so it is a better opportunity for them to connect with their target audience. Sort of like why they don't do anything at CEDIA (custom installers are very much not their target market).

Outlaw is probably smart for not being an official exhibitor at CES... I used to work for a mid-size CAD Software company. The owner had about 75 employees. We exhibited at COMDEX in Atlanta. He showed me the final COMDEX bill for 4 days in a 12' x 12' booth was $48,000 in 1994. Plants and 115 Vac power was extra!! 2008 CES probably 80-100K for a small booth, If I took a guess.......

Wow. I had no idea that booth space was that pricey.

I recall most of the high-end oriented print publications (i.e., Stereophile, The Absolute Sound, etc.) scope out CES for hot, new products. This can help put a bit of a fire in the bellies of potential consumers and build some momentum for a new product launch. If the new pre/pros had been ready in time for the show next week, maybe, just maybe, a showing would have paid some dividends early on that would make up for the booth fees (?)

I lived in Vegas 5 years...I went to CES 4 of them..Nice show..I had to generate fake business cards to get in...at each booth they have the sales guys out front and then the Japanese engineer in the back that designed the unit....Average woman representing Panasonic is like a "9" on a 1-10 scale...nice view....

I'm another happy 990 owner, been reading about integra 9.8 pre-pro back end heats up to 185F-not good for long-term life, waiting for outlaw to make the 990HD, waiting for 1 more generation of blu-ray player..like 2.0 ( 1GB RAM) that loads all disks in 15 secs......will not wait 1 min:40 secs for a java disk to load....waiting for pioneer to fix their buzzing issue on their plasmas and for the price to come down into 3.5K range for a 6010

hopefully ces will shed light on some of this...

just venting.......
sorry Vince
