I did look on the Pioneer's web site, but they don't have the manual up yet. I just cannot believe it doesn't have adjustable output levels for the 5.1 analog outputs. You *need* that for DVD-A and SACD, $129 price or not. That is an oversight on Pio's part.

Kevin, I just finished up with the stereo sub hookup last night. Since I'm no longer using the LFE output, both DVD (digital) and 6ch (well, 5) analog bypass are matched now with regards to bass levels.

I never really thought about having a levels adjustment in the Pioneer since I can trim the levels in the 950. Until that is, you find out that you can't trim levels per input. Clearly an oversight on Pioneer's part and not Outlaw.

jcmccorm,

not familiar with your pioneer,but when setting up my rca dvd player,gonk suggested leaving the disc drawer open and selecting the menu(to set the bitstream).worked for me,something for you to try.

Thanks Painttoad! Cool idea, I tried it, but it didn't work (I was actually wondering if the presence of a disk would limit my setup options). Thanks for adding that bit of info for me to try though.

Cary- There can be a disc in the player, but it can't be playing or paused. Has to be stopped. ??
