I could not scroll through the available surround modes at Video 1. It sticks at PLIIX Movie. Have any one got this problem? Any suggestion to resolve this problem?

I can scroll different surround modes for DVD and other video inputs, just not the Video 1.

That sounds a little odd. Maybe we can do some troubleshooting... What device is connected to Video1, and what is the incoming signal format?

Gonk: Tks for your quick response. I use video 1 for a DVD player that plays SACD and DVDA. Coax 2 and 5.1 analog direct connections are used.

So far, I am using the DVD, Video1, video 2 and CD Configs. I have no problem with the DVD and video 3 configs to change the initial setting of surr mod default (PLIIX MOVE) at the 990.

Any thought? Or Outlaw Scott can give me some direction?

Gonk : I am using the Component 1 and S-video at the video 1. The Component 2 is open for nothing yet. The component DVD is used for another DVD player with S-video. I have a direct DVI connection btw this DVD player and the front projector.

Gonk: I do hope I didn't confuse you. My projector has DVI, s-video and component connections with 2 DVD players and 1 LD player. That's why I have said connections.

So video1 is mainly being used for SACD & DVD-A, both of which would actually be falling to the 7.1 Direct input (which is an independent input), but it also has component video and coaxial digital connected. What discs are you using in this player that are "sticking" in PLIIx Movie? Are they DVD-A and SACD discs only? If so, it may have something to do with the limitations on digital outputs of those formats - SACD's in my Yamaha don't produce any digital audio output, whereas DVD-A typically downmixes to DD 2.0 I believe.

Gonk: I am not talking about the auto detaction of the surround mode when playing a DVD movie.

I am referring to the "To select a default surround mode" at page 25 of the manual. The procedure just above LIP Sync Delay on same page. From that configuration screen, I could press < or > to scroll through all the surround modes in listed sequency at DVD, Video 2 configuation, but not the Video 1. I use the DVD player with COMPONENT out for casual (Junk movie) viewing. I use DVI direct from other DVD player for serious viewing.
Just don't know why I just cannot scroll the surround modes at video 1 only. The default mode is stucked at PLIIX MOVIE.

So you are in the video 1 input menu screen, with the audio input set to coaxial1, and the only option available for surround mode is Pro Logic IIx-Movie... If you put in a disc, can you select different modes with the Dolby and DTS buttons on the remote?

Gonk: Haven't tried yet. Will check and revert. Tks for your advice.

I have a similar problem except it is on the dvd input configuration menu.Surround configuration is stuck at prologic movie iix,cannot scroll through.No problems scrolling on all the other video inputs.While playing a dvd though there is no problem in switching between different formats
