Right now it is setup like this: I have everything going through the 990. The U-Verse cable box has Component, HDMI, Composite, Analog and optical outputs. I am using the Component output to the 990 which outputs Component, S-video and Composite to the TV. Video 1 is setup to output Component video to the TV's Component input, Analog audio and the trigger 2 is off. Video 4 is setup in a similar way but uses the optical output and has trigger 2 set to on. All of the amp startup with trigger 2. Then I setup the remote so that when you turn on the TV it uses only Video 1 with no amp, when you select another button it will switch to Video 4 which turns everything on. I am pretty sure this is not the way to go as I am having problems with muting and volume control.
