Product Shot 2 Neither the 576 or 506 supports transcoding or upscaling of analog video sources to HDMI. Look to the step-up model Onkyo TX-SR606 (to be released in the summer of 2008, price TBD) for this feature. The TX-SR576 comes in a new price-point between the TX-SR506 and TX-SR606 that are successors to the TX-SR505 and TX-SR605 respectively.
