Kevin,

You're right regarding the OSD.

Regarding the 5.1 multi-channel bass management fix though, we're in a grey area. I think that Rotel officials have communicated to Andrew Pratt that it is OK for one to do the resistor "snip" if one does it correctly. If not, then the warranty is voided. However, it is apparantly a pretty easy proceedure. At least this is my understanding. I could be incorrect. In any regard, Rotel will perform the fix for free for any units sent to them, costing the user approximately $20 in shipping costs and, to me more importantly, not having your unit for two to three weeks.

By the way, I was curious as to whether you have heard the Integra 9.4? Again, I haven't heard the Outlaw, but strongly feel the Integra is a very significant step up from the Rotel sonically. In fact, I'm pretty amazed by what it can do for the price I had to pay.
