What would be the best input to use in to the 990 from the head phone out jack of an MP3 player? On my old receiver I had to use the phono in but the gain was hard to control with the volume control on both machines in play.

I'd use any of the analog inputs (except probably the phono). The front could be convenient, assuming you aren't using it for other things - in my system, the front input is assigned to a digital audio input. I had a cable connected to my tape input for use with an iPod for a long time, and I cranked the player's volume up fairly high then used the 990's volume control for fine tuning.

Thanks Gonk! I didn't want to OD any of the inputs. The front input will probably work real well.
