Dolby True Hd from the HD-A1 to the 990 is awesome and it's really hard to go back to regular dolby digital once you get used to it smile I've listened to Batman Begins, Constantine, Troy, V For Vendetta and a few other true hd tracks and it really is a revelation.

When connecting the HD-A1 with analog audio, do I need to set the speaker size and distance in the player or just leave all speakers set to large and distance at 0 ft? Gonk mentioned that the 990 will still apply bass management but what about the speaker distance? Any other tips?

Thanks,
--Chuck

Leave all distances zero, all speakers large (and sub on), and all channel trims at 0dB. The 990 will take care of it.

I'm trying to setup my A1 and i've left all speakers at large and all settings at 0. The problem is that the A1 seems to output the sub at a much lower level. Maybe i'm missing something somewhere, but how I can increase the sub level only on the 7.1 input to compensate?

If the sub output on the A1 is low, you could simply set the sub trim up on the A1 so it matches the sub output from other sources.

I don't see anyway to set it up that way. On the A1 it only has -12 to 0.

That's odd. And it doesn't help that I didn't see any mention of channel trim in the A1's manual just now. There have been other reports of the sub being as much as 10dB low, but the latest one around here was in September . I assume that you've got the latest firmware installed on the A1?

I do have the latest firmware installed on both the A1 and the 990. I'll have to look at it again. I tried setting it up but it was getting late and I decided to call it a night. Worst case I assume I could just lower all the other channels and raise the volume when I watch movies.

I'll try to check out the sub level from the A1 this weekend and let you know the results. So far, though, I haven't noticed anything odd about the bass level from the A1 versus my CD player.
