Not sure if anyone else out there may have encountered this one or not so here goes......

In getting my Oppo Digital DVD & 990 & Sony KD960XBR TV set up via DVI/HDMI cables I have noticed that Sony has designated Video Input 7 for HDMI.

The 990 can only output the OSD in analog. Since the DVI input does not seem to have a corresponding analog output associated with it, how can I get the OSD to appear on Video Input 7? (or get ALL my inputs to go through VI 7?!)

Now it's possible that I just have my head up my butt but I have found this to be rather annoying. To say nothing of having to change the TV input too. Does anyone know of a workaround for this? I realize it's Sony's fault too but wondered if anyone else has encountered this and what your solution was?
