...wanted to bump this thread again so it doesn't get lost. It seems the real heated discussion is regarding "the bug" in bypass with analog source. (which with my setup isn't an issue) This one to me would be an easier fix.

Re-stated simply: Is there a firmware update coming which will allow the 2ch sub offset to boost as well as trim? That's it, that's all I want.

Currently, when listening to music I manually raise the level to +4 or +5, then when watching a movie lower it to -4 to -8 depending on the source. It would be nice if the 990 did it on its own.
