Jester:

TO be honest, you ARE missing something. First, of course, you did miss the fact that the receiver you have doens't have auto EQ.

Next, you are missing the fact that there are very few receivers and even fewer processors (name as many as you please) that offer the 4-way crossover. Thus, what the 990 has IS better than most everything out there if you exclude auto-EQ.

CHeck me on this, but I believe that when you go up or down to change the sync delay, it IS changing, and that the "Select" is to enter the setting to memory and exit the function. If that is the case, then you already have what you are looking for.

These are all rather minor issues in the way a feature is implemented, not in the presence or absence of the feature. One would hope that you could live with it and perhaps it could be changed later. In the mean time, it still looks as though you are complaining about things that other similarly priced products don't even have.

By the way, how does it SOUND?
