Never occurred to me either about the power up sequence. I currently do tv, 990, cable. But I will try this.
Could there be a setting issue within my dvd or tv that could be causing this also. Should i reset the delays back to zero from what auto setup provided.

Skyblazer, how you been. I guess you can see that I bought the 7500 instead of staying w/NAD. I have done the auto setup several times and it has not fixed it.
