I sent some e-mails to Bryston and Lexicon regarding their philosophy on passing OSD through component video outputs. Bryston unhesitatingly says their SP 1.7/SPV1 combo does it. Lexicon says their two units do as well but only with a blue screen, and their volume control change does not display. That Outlaw omitted it at the price level of the 950 is understandable, I suppose, but that doesn't mean that its absence doesn't cause inconvenience. I'm quibbling here over an issue that is hardly on a par with international terrorism on the importance scale.
