I just picked up this player and i have a couple questions. I have it hooked up through the multi channel outputs to take advantage of the uncompressed 5.1. Am I correct in assuming that I need to set speaker size, distance, and calibrate the channels seeing the player will be doing all the processing or does the 990 take care of all that for me. When I did try to calibrate the channel levels in the Panasonic I got the test tones but inceasing or decreasing the tone would not work. Please let me know what I am doing wrong. Also, would you leave the HDMI setting to auto or would you set it to what is appropriate for your TV. I have thee Pioneer Elite 1140 HD whick does up to 768p. The auto function sets it to 1080i every time.
