Moderators Youthman Posted May 10, 2014 Moderators Share Posted May 10, 2014 I was perusing through the current Onkyo lineup and noticed even their highest tier TX-NR838 receiver does not have Audessey. Looks like they are moving to AccuEQ. Anyone heard of this before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K5SS Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Nope but I would be willing to bet it will be a upgrade if they are putting it in their flagship. These room correction auto-calibration leave a lot to be desired IMO. Can't wait to read some reviews.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted May 10, 2014 Author Moderators Share Posted May 10, 2014 (edited) Ok, I assumed the receiver at the top was their top of the line model but I was mistaken. They are not in order by model number. Apparently, you just have to jump up to something like the $1399 TX-NR929 receiver to get Audyssey XT32.

REDdawn6 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Thats kinda crappy, a lot of people buy religiously for the feature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
me2late4u Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 I'll be setting up my TX-nr929 this weekend. As K5ss mentioned i'll use the audyssey in the intial set up, but i will manually adjust to my listening preference. Not a big fan of auto calibration as you can tweak the sound way better yourself. You can adjust the db's alittle for each , plus with a 7 band eq individually controlled for each speaker this gives you great controll. Just my opinoin.

DoubleJ Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 I just bought a NR626 and it does not have audyssey calibration. I was quite surprised it didn't but I was more after HMDI capabilites for it's replacing my old, but still going strong Denon 3801. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Youthman Posted May 16, 2014 Author Moderators Share Posted May 16, 2014 I think Tasdom is correct, Page 7 of the Owner's Manual says Audyssey MultEQ®to correct room acousticproblems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I got shorted. I didn't see the Audyssey setup in any of the menus when setting things up. Hmmm I'll take a closer look when I get home. I do have the setup kit from a different Onkyo so no biggie. Thanks for pointing that out!!! JJ Edited May 16, 2014 by DoubleJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoubleJ Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 You guys are correct. The NR 626 does have Audyssey capabilities and should have come with a mic. Made a call and have one coming. Thanks JJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
